boy acne can really affect someone’s

self-esteem I had acne really bad going

through junior high school and high

school and it really affected my

self-esteem so I would like to share

with you

something that I wish I knew back when I

had acne because it’s so simple to get

rid of this if you understand the

mechanism and out of all the things that

can create acne there’s one really big

vitamin deficiency that you need to know

about but I first want to give you the

kind of the mechanism first what is acne

well it’s a situation where you have

multiple things going on at once

you have this gland this oil gland it’s

called a sebaceous gland okay and it

makes oil and that oil is called sebum

and there’s usually

a combination of an inflamed sebaceous

gland the gland is now enlarged and it’s

also producing too much oil so you

usually have some oily skin and there’s

usually also a bacteria involved which

is affecting the immune system and

creating more inflammation and that’s

what makes up this redness that forms

the pimple and there’s also sometimes

Associated like these blackheads or

whiteheads which are part of the tissue

part of this whole problem and typically

what is triggering acne is a shift in

hormones okay like puberty for example

you have this sudden Spike of androgens

and also when women have something

called PCOS polycystic ovarian syndrome

they also get acne as one of the

symptoms simply because there’s a spike

in androgens now I have done a lot of

videos on acne before so I’ve talked

about different things that are involved

and one big thing that you should know

is is high levels of insulin because

usually you’re eating too many carbs the

high carbs triggers the high insulin

which will then increase more androgens

so number one we have the high carb diet

but we also have something else that’s

usually involved it’s the frequency of

eating that also will trigger insulin

okay how many times you eat so that is

called snacking so the combination of a

lot of snacking and carbs are deadly for

acne and so if you want to get rid of

acne you’re definitely going to have to

go low carb and you’re also going to

have to do intermittent fasting so

you’re going to just cut out the snacks

it’ll make a big difference and it’ll be

worth it and you won’t be hungry if you

do this because you’re now shifting to

burning fat Fuel and you’re not

dependent on the next meal so you can go

for long periods of time without eating

and just the fact that you’re fasting in

general creates a lot of benefits for

your skin youthful looking skin

anti-aging qualities not that you’re

interested in that if you’re a teenager

the vitamin that is involved in acne

it’s a deficiency of this one vitamin

and that vitamin is vitamin D let’s take

a look at how Vitamin D relates to this

first of all vitamin D regulates

that bacteria I mentioned that’s

involved with acne it regulates it it

inhibits it and so when you’re deficient

in this vitamin D

you’re not going to have the control

over this microbe and so vitamin D is a

very potent

anti-bacterial when it relates to your

skin number two

when you take more vitamin D you’ll have

less of that oil okay less of the Sedum

and the actual inflammation and swelling

and enlargement of that sebaceous gland

will now come down and start shrinking

the cells that make up the sebaceous

gland are also greatly influenced by

vitamin D3 and also when someone has

PCOS polycystic ovarian syndrome they’re

usually always deficient in vitamin D

and so vitamin D is also involved in

helping you regulate androgens and then

some people might think that they get

enough vitamin D the great majority of

the public especially teenagers are

deficient in vitamin D it’s almost

impossible to get vitamin D from your

diet okay you have to get it from the

Sun and many people just are not out in

the sun often enough

there’s other things that block vitamin

D2 a high carb diet which gives you high

sugars will deplete your vitamin D as

well and this is why diabetics are

usually always deficient in vitamin D so

we have that we also have obesity is

another Factor the more fat you have on

your body the less vitamin D you’re

going to have also if you have gut

issues you’re going to be low in vitamin

D if your skin is darker you’re going to

have a harder time converting the sun to

vitamin D and so there’s many factors

that cause this vitamin D deficiency and

taking vitamin D in larger amounts can

be just the thing that you needed to

completely get rid of your acne so

number one I would recommend taking

roughly about 20 000 IUS of vitamin D3

every single day number two I would

highly recommend going on a low carb

diet the sugar that you eat or the

refined carbs that turn into sugar in

your bloodstream actually feed this

bacteria that involved in acne so we do

want to go low carb the third thing is

cutting out the snacks doing

intermittent fasting at least start out

with three meals a day no snacks just

make those meals bigger and then

eventually skip out breakfast and then

you have two meals that alone will

reduce your insulin greatly and then

your androgens will do better and that

might just handle your skin problem

right there and number four you want to

stop scrubbing your skin in this thought

that it might be just a dirty skin or

the pores are dirty so you have to scrub

it I used to do that crazy every morning

I’d be scrubbing cleaning my skin with

soap and using all sorts of medication

nothing actually worked in fact it

always made it worse because here I am

rubbing off all the good bacteria that’s

supposed to defend against the bad

bacteria not to mention I’m irritating

all the inflammation and so you’re doing

a lot of bad things to your skin if you

over sterilize it or or scrub it too

hard and then also you want to start

consuming foods that have some vitamin D

in them that would be cod liver oil

that’s a really good one and the reason

I like cod liver oil is because it not

only has vitamin D but it also has

vitamin A another important vitamin in

acne this is why like Accutane which is

a synthetic version of vitamin A has

been used in the past for acne of course

it causes some slight minor

complications like increased risk for

suicide and liver failure but other than

that it’s perfectly fine fatty fish like

salmon halibut would be really good to

get some good vitamin D now the question

is what food do you eat if you’re no

longer going to eat carbs well for that
