Is your skin aging faster than it should?

In this episode of Defiant Health, I ask the question: Is your skin aging faster than it should? If you are engaging in conventional ideas about diet, it probably is. But there are indeed strategies you can adopt that slow or even reverse signs of skin aging.

Those of you who are concerned about skin health and appearance likely engage in applying products externally, products such as retinol or hyaluronic acid serums for smoother, moister skin. But wouldn’t it be better to view skin as the outward reflection of internal health? Because it is. If you are inflamed, it will show on the skin. If you have liver or kidney problems, it will show on the skin. Wouldn’t it therefore be better to address internal health first? Or do both: obtain healthier skin that reflects better internal health complemented by your topical efforts. Because, after all, applying products topically does not make you or your skin healthier; it just generates an outward change in appearance.

Many of you following my conversations are making yogurt (not really yogurt, of course, nothing like the products sold in stores) making yogurt with Lactobacillus reuteri, a microbe lost by nearly all modern people. Many of you have reported wonderful skin effects, as well as other health benefits such as increased strength, deeper sleep, increased libido, increased sense of well-being. Many report increased skin moisture sufficient to reduce or do away with moisturizing creams, and reduction of fine wrinkles. 

So this got me thinking about the power of replacing other factors lacking or absent from modern life that might influence skin health and appearance. So, in this episode of Defiant Health, let’s talk about other factors lacking in modern life that you can replace for improved skin health. This was also my motivation for creating the Gut to Glow product that I personally formulated that I will tell you more about. 

Dr. Davis is a co-founder and principal in Realize Therapeutics Corp. that sells the Gut to Glow product.
