so today we’re going to talk about darkened skin  spots what’s behind that now the medical term  

for that is called melasma so here we have an  overactive melanocyte which is making too much  

melanin which is the pigment so it’s going to  show up in a slightly darkened area on your skin  

and there are three main causes one would be high  levels of insulin or insulin resistance and this  

is why you see this in cases with polycystic  ovarian syndrome all the time you see these  

little skin spots all over what’s behind that is  high insulin and if you’re not familiar with pcos  

the excess insulin is triggering the high  levels of androgen now the number two cause  

is high levels of estrogen and this is why you  would see this in pregnancy or when someone took  

hormone replacement therapy or birth control  pills and then the third cause would be stress  

induced because the cortisol is too high and  there’s two main adrenal conditions you have  

cushing’s syndrome and you have addison’s disease  and so in addison’s disease you would see these  

darkened little skin spots throughout the  body now because stress can trigger this  

too much sun can also give you these little spots  as well so it’s really a matter of identifying  

what’s causing this if it’s stress i would take  b vitamins and i would take more vitamin d3 if  

the problem is high estrogen i would actually  recommend the person consume more cruciferous  

vegetables and definitely some sea kelp and then  we have the insulin resistance which is probably  

the most common cause and for that we recommend  healthy keto and intermittent fasting if you’re  

new to my channel i put the link down below of  exactly how to do it before you go if you have  

a question about a product or you’re new to keto  and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re
