Strategies For Clearing Your Skin & Making It More Vibrant (Look & Feel Younger) | Dr. Mark Hyman

I removed junk food,wheat,sugar ,high carb foods and went OMAD..(took a year to take control of these variables) to lose weight. Lost 30 lbs, 6 years ago, but a secondary surprise and unexpected result was I got rid of rosacea, small warts, eye floaters,thick ear wax, and tiny capillaries on my face. Food IS medicine.

I’m 65 years old and have been doing Keto/low carb for 3 years now. I have done everything this doctor (and others) have said was good, and stopped everything they said was bad. Only healthy fats, no processed “vegetable” oil, seed oils, Crisco… No processed foods… I had those little bumps on my legs that he said was from Vitamin A deficiency. I incorporated daily collagen into my diet, apple cider vinegar, fresh vegetables and lean meats, NO SUGAR!!! My skin did a 180 and is AMAZING! Soft, smooth, pliable, and glowing. I lost 50 lbs. and am down to a 32” waist. I am 6’ 0” and 180 lbs. and I feel fantastic. My blood work is fantastic, except my Total Cholesterol and my LDL. Don’t get me started on that Big Pharma scam! DON’T TAKE STATINS! My Triglycerides are super low and my HDL, the “good cholesterol” is so high it was “out of Range.” My wife and I are “intimate” three to four times a week and we are “feisty.” We are happier than we have been since we first met. I reversed my aging and nobody believes me when I tell them I’m 65. Do this, and do this now! Extend your life, while being healthy and happy to the end.

I've definitely noticed that when my gut is happy and feeling good, my skin looks amazing. The standard American foods often cause me to look older, break-out, and cause me gut issues. No pharmaceutical is going to produce the same results as healthy, unprocessed/minimally processed foods.

SKIN is my CANARY in my COAL MINE. If I have inflammation iny skin (acne, eczema, rosacea, etc.), I probably have inflammation in other parts of my body (joints, orga me s, blood vessels, brain, etc.). Since it is not practice to measure Sed rate and CRP on a daily basis, monitoring skin reactions is very useful information. If my scalp starts itching after a meal, I know to ask myself what I ate, look at the ingredients if I can and try to figure out what my skin is reacting to. Conversely, noticing what I've eaten when my skin feels and looks good helps me understand what I should eat more of. Skin is a great tool to help us customize our meals to our current health state depending on the state of our gut health, level of insulin resistance and other toxin loads. PLEASE DO A VIDEO to help us understand the uses and limits of traditional "allergy testing" and it's usefulness in choosing healthy foods that won't cause inflammation. And when a doctor tells us that we're not allergic to the test items, please expand on why we still should not consume inflammation causing ingredients. THANK YOU.

You are so right. My skin and hair is soo much better now that I eat better.

Thanks so much for the content Dr Hyman 🙏

You look great! Love the info, thank you!

Love you Dr Hyman

Thank goodness for you and Dr Robert Lustig. I finally HEARD you both. A year ago I Quit all added sugar, processed food and alcohol. Best thing I’ve ever done. Nothing feels better than feeling well. The changes are incredible. Thank you for giving us the information.

Awesome 💯

Makes total sense. I don't know why so many including doctors don't understand simple common sense. It's the same with hair. All these products promising to fix it from the outside which is impossible. Once it's outside the scalp it's essentially dead and that's why it doesn't hurt to get it cut. I had a problem with my cheeks always getting red buy since eating a carnivore diet it has gone away along with many other issues 😊

Cost is the biggest factor for soooo many of us Dr Hyman as we cannot afford a Functional Doctor, nor the price of a healthy or Keto diet. Obesity is the epidemic of the lower income and we must resort to the cheaper alternatives you suggest; mind over matter, exercise , stress reduction, and spirituality. Todah rabah!

❤Sweetly Blessed Sweetly ❤

Doc, please make videos on B vitamins especially b1 and its infinite benefits.

I found out 5 years ago that I have a nickel allergy. All of the foods that I ate everyday that I thought were healthy were very high in nickel. Oatmeal, spinach, whole grains, dark chocolate, beans. I'd itch like hell and break out in dry patchy skin. Once I eliminated them, the problem went away.

I agree. I have reduced junk food and i haave noticed the difference.

Dr. Hymen did you have mycotoxins tested? I am highly positive with Deoxynivalenol mycotoxin. Skin rashes, Dark purple under eyes and bags under eyes. Im still living in this same house. I miss my beautiful skin. Im taking Curcumin PURE in capsules for inflammation. Im on Azithromycin for s new Bartonella infection (from a stray cat bite) Tick bite was 11 years ago. Im have been out of my Vitamins for a year. C, B-50, D3. Most important? I know i look better when I am taking a good C. What are your thoughts on Fermented Vitamins? Thank you 💚💚💚

Yeap!! Common sense totally has to be inside the problem as i have allergies when i colored my hair my immune dropped 😢

I have noticed that the simple gel from aloe vera plants seems to help with dry scalp/dandruff

I haven't ever been able to handle dairy from the store past a little cheese or bite of ice cream on occasion. How surprised i was to find out raw dairy, from grass fed cows & straight from the farm didn't upset my stomach or break out my skin
