And he offers some very particular suggestions for this. He’s so well-spoken and such a pleasure to speak to. So, let’s be a part of Dr. Anthony. Tony, welcome. Thanks a lot for being right here.
Anthony: Thanks a lot for having me.
Katie: I’m actually excited for this dialog and to speak about how we will basically use our physique’s pure processes to age extra gracefully and even slower or reverse among the indicators of getting old. However earlier than we leap into that, I’ve a observe out of your bio that you simply as soon as performed guitar and sang in a Jimmy Buffett cowl band. And since we just lately misplaced him, I’d love to listen to this story and the way that began and what it was like.
Anthony: Yeah, I imply, I truly began taking part in guitar again in school, and I’m very mediocre of a guitarist and singer. And so, after I began my residency, I simply, I’ve all the time had this sort of artistic streak. And I believed, you recognize, I’m this huge fan of Jimmy Buffett. And I heard that there have been some people who find themselves focused on placing a band collectively. So, I emailed a contact I had, and he mentioned, let’s do it. And we spent about, so I used to be, I did 5 years of residency. And through that point, we in all probability did about 50 or 60 gigs the place we’d do like play at events, at bars and stuff. And it was my method of, I feel, residing out a, if I may decide one job that I may have that I simply, there’s no method I may ever do, however I’d love can be like a rock star. And that was the closest that I’ll ever get to it. And as soon as I completed residency, I truly moved out to California. Since then, I’ve truly, and the band broke up, however since then I’ve performed for my church band sometimes and stuff like that. So, it’s, it was a whole lot of enjoyable, however. It was undoubtedly tiring as a result of as a resident, I’d even have days the place I’d work 36 hours after which I would go away the hospital, get became my like tropical garments and go play from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at a bar after which be again to work the following morning at 6 a.m. So, it was robust, however it was enjoyable.
Katie: Wow, I can solely think about, however in all probability a fantastic artistic outlet throughout an in any other case extraordinarily targeted and intense interval of life. I really like that you simply did that and that’s truly an ideal springboard into what would be the bulk of our dialog at this time, which is the work that you simply do now and the numerous 1000’s of individuals that you simply’ve helped. I feel for form of simply background and start line, you utilize a time period that I’ve not heard earlier than, which I consider is autojuvenation. And I’d love so that you can clarify what meaning and form of among the background for this dialog.
Anthony: Yeah, so simply to provide the background, I completed cosmetic surgery residency coaching, and I did a 12 months fellowship in beauty cosmetic surgery out in Beverly Hills with one of many prime plastic surgeons there. Then I moved again to Michigan, and I began my apply again in 2004. And inside the subsequent in all probability 5 to seven years, I reached what I believed was a pinnacle of success. On the time, as a surgeon, you gauge your success by the quantity of surgical procedure that you simply do. And we’re all the time taught in our residency and our coaching that the purpose of being a surgeon is to convey folks to the working room. And so, I all the time consider that that ought to be my purpose.
After which a affected person utterly modified that and flipped that the other way up for me. So, I believed I’d reached the top of success. And whenever you take a look at completely different fields of medication, particularly with surgical procedure, there’s all the time a surgical procedure that’s thought of the top. And should you do this, you’re feeling completed. Should you’re a normal surgeon, that’s the Whipple. It’s like an enormous most cancers surgical procedure that may take eight to 12 hours. In cosmetic surgery, it’s in all probability the facelift. I imply, as a result of folks could belief anyone to do their liposuction, however you’ll be darn certain if anyone’s gonna lower in your face that you simply’re gonna be very picky about that. And so, about 5 to seven years into apply, I believed that I’d reached the top of success. I used to be having folks flying in from everywhere in the nation to have me do their surgical procedure and their facelifts and all that. And I had a affected person that I did a faceless on, a very nice lady in her late 60s, and I did an operation on her that went completely. We truly stored her in a single day within the hospital only for routine monitoring. Then she went house, and she or he went house on a Friday morning, and that Monday morning I got here into the workplace with a message from her daughter, and the message was, “Why did my mother die?” She died that weekend only a few days after I carried out a facelift on her, and it despatched me right into a tailspin. As a result of up till then, I’d by no means really had a complication like that.
And so, I began wanting like, to begin with, like what occurred right here? Is there one thing I may have completed to forestall this? And it seems she had an enormous coronary heart assault. Now we did have her see a heart specialist previous to her surgical procedure. She bought utterly cleared. She had a stress check. Every part was optimistic. There’s no motive why this could have occurred, but it did. And for months, I beat myself up over it. I used to be completely devastated. I thought of closing out my apply, and I actually re-looked at what am I doing with my job, with my profession, with my sufferers?
And I lastly got here to the conclusion that every part I used to be taught about being a surgeon was unsuitable. The purpose shouldn’t be to get folks to the working room. The purpose ought to be the other. It ought to be, how do I hold folks out of the working room, but hold them feeling nice about themselves and searching nice and all of that? And so, I actually began to spend years then wanting into different strategies of how do I get folks the place they wanna be with out bringing them to surgical procedure? And I got here up with this idea of autojuvenation and it’s utilizing your physique’s personal regenerative skills to show again the clock, to provide you that look that you simply’ve wished, to show again 5, 10 years and enable you to really feel higher about the way you look.
Katie: Wow, that’s fairly the extraordinary story. And I can solely think about what it was like to really have lived that have. However I really like that you simply introduced this up, particularly about surgical procedure, as a result of I do know for lots of the mothers listening, this is probably not one thing lots of them have had, however I’d guess many have not less than thought of the provision of all of the completely different choices associated to surgical procedure. I do know, weak for me personally, after having six infants, I’ve thought of various kinds of pores and skin removing surgical procedure, as an illustration. And I’ve all the time hesitated and by no means actually seemed into it significantly due to simply understanding issues like fascia and the way related the entire physique is. I simply haven’t had a great instinct about it. However I really like that you simply, having such a deep understanding of the surgical facet, nonetheless got here to this conclusion and now assist folks keep away from it. I’m curious should you may stroll us by among the dangers that include surgical procedure and likewise among the methods round that, as a result of I feel that’s in all probability a hope for lots of people to grasp there are different choices that it seems like that may work actually, very well.
Anthony: Yeah, and I feel that one of many surgical procedures I do a whole lot of are tummy tuck surgical procedures, and it’s primarily on mothers, individuals who’ve had, ladies who’ve had a number of kids, their pores and skin has been stretched out, it doesn’t look or really feel the identical method. Now, the dangers of surgical procedure begin with loss of life, and each time anyone involves see me in session they usually say, “Hey, what’s the worst factor that may occur, Dr. Youn?” I’ll say, “You could possibly die.” I’ll do every part in my energy to forestall that, and we’ll take all of the steps crucial that we will to make this as secure as doable, however it doesn’t matter what I do, like with this affected person who died after the facelift, you simply by no means know, and there’s a loss of life price with elective surgical procedure, and it’s about one in 50,000 individuals who have beauty surgical procedure will die from the operation.
Now, often it’s not as a result of a surgeon tousled, it’s often anesthesia-related issues, underlying diseases, and that sort of factor, however there may be that danger, and in order that’s the very first thing you wanna consider. Particularly with the stomach, it’s a troublesome factor as a result of as soon as once more, each time I get folks, and I get so many mothers that are available and say, “Hey, I’m eager about a tummy tuck, what do you suppose?” The very first thing I’ll all the time inform them is, should you will be pleased and wholesome and reside a fulfilled life with out going below the knife, then you need to keep away from surgical procedure. Nonetheless, should you can’t, there are individuals who come to see me they usually’ve had 4 youngsters and their tummy muscle tissue have been so separated, they really have again ache from it, they usually simply don’t really feel themselves the way in which that they need to really feel, then we will discuss in regards to the specifics of the operation. There are a whole lot of issues that we will do now although that may flip again the clock, that can provide us a few of these outcomes that we had been on the lookout for that perhaps 20 years in the past, we didn’t have it, we didn’t have, and so ideally if we will attempt to level the affected person in that path, that’s what I attempt to do.
Katie: That is sensible. And that’s such a fantastic balanced strategy. And it looks like fantastic, knowledgeable consent. So, for the individuals who nonetheless do select to undergo with it, they’ve a deeper understanding of the danger concerned, in all probability have a greater grasp on restoration and issues they’ll do to assist as nicely. However to circle again to this concept of autojuvenation, I really like this as a result of it’s one thing I’ve been researching, not less than the idea of with out having a phrase for it just lately. I did lab testing for a corporation I’m contemplating investing in, and I discovered my organic age is definitely nearly 10 years youthful than my chronological age, which was actually thrilling. And in order that’s on a mobile degree.
However I feel for lots of us, there’s additionally that factor of the exterior going through and what our pores and skin seems like, particularly, particularly as ladies. And so, I feel I’d like to delve into the causes of that pores and skin getting old that’s seen after which additionally delve into a few of these issues that you simply educate that may assist reverse that.
Anthony: Yeah, so thanks. So, I’d take a look at typically, I consider there are 4 main causes of getting old of our pores and skin. The primary main trigger is collagen degradation. Seventy to 80% of our pores and skin consists of collagen. Collagen is principally what induced our pores and skin to really feel tight and to really feel sturdy. And there’s collagen in our pores and skin, in our muscle tissue, in our bones, in our joints, and different elements of our physique. However as we become older, actually beginning within the mid to late 20s, we lose about 1% of the thickness of the collagen of our pores and skin yearly. Girls after menopause that will increase to about 2% a 12 months. And that’s why our pores and skin will get thinner as we become older. And so, to attempt to battle that course of is likely one of the elements of autojuvenation.
Second reason for getting old of the pores and skin is oxidation or free radicals. Free radicals are principally unstable molecules which might be created on account of simply regular metabolism. Our physique creates naturally free radicals as a byproduct of simply being alive. However we will get attacked by greater than that relying on what our way of life is. So, consuming a whole lot of extremely processed and processed meals will improve our physique’s quantity of free radicals that it has to take care of. Fried meals additionally free radicals. Even extreme stress has been discovered to extend free radicals. And when you could have too many free radicals attacking your physique on the similar time, it could actually truly injury the DNA in your pores and skin and that may trigger untimely getting old. In order that’s quantity two.
The third reason for getting old is irritation. And irritation will be acute, or it may be persistent. Acute irritation can truly be a great factor. Whenever you get a lower and your physique reacts to the lower by creating some irritation to heal that lower, that’s truly a great factor. Typically doing sure issues, like let’s say getting a laser remedy or a chemical peel will be acute irritation and that may trigger the pores and skin truly to be younger afterwards and the collagen to be tighter and younger showing and molecularly as nicely.
And so, a persistent irritation shouldn’t be a great factor. And persistent irritation, one of many main causes of that’s sugar. And we all know sugar causes irritation since you get sugar spikes could cause insulin spikes, insulin spikes can create persistent irritation. And so, sugar is form of one of many huge causes of irritation. After which the opposite reason for irritation are superior glycation finish merchandise or AGEs. Sugar as soon as once more is a big perpetrator right here as a result of when sugar is introduced into the physique, particularly when it’s in extreme quantities, it could actually truly bond to the collagen of our pores and skin and trigger the collagen, which usually is, the way in which I described, it’s just like the logs of a log cabin. Collagen are these fibros which might be usually form of caught collectively and are good and agency. However when sugar bonds to that collagen, it could actually trigger these logs to turn into frayed and that collagen to turn into principally kinked. And that may trigger untimely getting old. So, irritation by superior glycation finish merchandise, which is when the sugar will connect the collagen, creating these AGEs and by persistent irritation, usually by sugar spikes and insulin spikes.
After which the fourth factor, fourth reason for getting old of our pores and skin is principally a buildup of mobile waste. And this is likely one of the issues that lots of people extra in conventional drugs don’t actually pay a lot consideration to. You will have dermatologists speaking about utilizing lotions to your pores and skin, however they don’t discuss making an attempt to get that technique of autophagy revved up. And our cells, as they’re principally present process metabolism and form of the traditional day by day life, will create mobile waste. And that waste must be taken care of, recycled, even reused utilizing a course of known as autophagy. And that’s intracellular principally recycling or renewal. And that solely happens if you find yourself not consuming. And so, taking time to not eat, to quick, can truly trigger that course of to happen by eliminating that intracellular waste. Our cells then operate extra effectively and successfully, and that is also anti-aging as nicely.
Katie: That’s fascinating. And it undoubtedly leads into the query of what we will do about it, which I can guess a number of of the doable issues we will do based mostly on the way in which you clarify that. Issues like fasting in a method that’s applicable for our hormones, decreasing our stress degree, being conscious of what we eat, and doubtless consuming extra nourishing meals, much less extremely processed meals. However I’m certain there’s rather more that goes into it from there. Based mostly on what you mentioned, I ponder if folks may be considering are collagen dietary supplements a good suggestion? Are there every other dietary supplements in addition to simply collagen that may assist collagen and wholesome collagen matrix within the pores and skin? So, I’d like to delve into that. What are issues we will do at house that assist battle every of these completely different causes?
Anthony: Precisely. And in my guide, Youthful for Life, I’ve principally a three-week jumpstart that includes all of it. And so, the way in which I take a look at it’s it’s food regimen, it’s what to eat, when to eat, dietary supplements to take, and skincare merchandise to make use of. And should you concentrate on these as form of the first factor, then that may get you actually began. And we now have this 21-day jumpstart the place for 21 days, you principally concentrate on these 4 issues, you possibly can actually flip again and see large adjustments in your pores and skin.
So so far as normal issues, you talked about collagen dietary supplements. Collagen dietary supplements are very controversial. I’ve bought an enormous TikTok viewers, and I posted on collagen dietary supplements, and I’ve people who find themselves saying, “Oh, my physician mentioned collagen dietary supplements don’t work, your physique received’t take up it, it will get damaged down within the abdomen.” The very fact is that collagen, whenever you purchase collagen, you need to be sure that it’s in collagen, hydrolyzed collagen peptides, basically. So, collagen is an enormous protein. And should you simply ingest collagen typically, your physique, sure, will break it down. Whenever you take a look at collagen dietary supplements, that’s why collagen dietary supplements, the perfect ones, are hydrolyzed collagen peptides, as a result of it takes that collagen, that massive protein, and it breaks it down into tiny little peptides and amino acids that your physique can truly take up. So, your physique does take up hydrolyzed collagen peptide dietary supplements, and there are research which have checked out it. There are a plethora of research which have proven useful impacts in your pores and skin with collagen. In truth, I’ll simply title one, which was a meta-analysis again in 2021 of 1,100 sufferers who took 90 days of hydrolyzed collagen dietary supplements, they usually discovered a statistically vital enchancment in wrinkles, pores and skin elasticity, and pores and skin hydration. So, you’re 1,100, it is a meta-analysis, so it is a mixture of a number of research. There are randomized managed medical trials completed with collagen discovering principally all the identical issues. And a few of them will truly take biopsies of the collagen two months after anyone begins taking collagen dietary supplements and seeing a rise within the thickness of the collagen of that pores and skin.
Katie: That’s fascinating. And does bone broth match into that class as nicely? I do know there’s a whole lot of discuss by like Dr. Kate Shanahan and others of those conventional meals that we largely have faraway from our trendy diets that appear to be extraordinarily rejuvenating. Does bone broth match into that class as nicely?
Anthony: It does. Now, apparently, bone broth makes a whole lot of sense, however there aren’t any research that I do know of which have been carried out which have truly checked out bone broth and pores and skin. That being mentioned, what’s bone broth? You simmer all of the completely different, whether or not it’s the ft or the cartilage or any of these physique elements, for 48 to 72 hours. The massive factor with bone broth is it’s chock stuffed with collagen, however there are a whole lot of completely different bone broths on the market. And one approach to inform whether or not it does have a whole lot of collagen is should you warmth it up, it turns into principally that soup. However should you let it cool, if it hardens or form of solidifies into gelatin, that gelatin is definitely collagen. And also you’ll know then that if it’s bought these form of two phases, relying on the temperature, that probably you’ve bought a great bone broth there. Now, bone broth is stuffed with collagen, so it does make sense that should you ingest it, that that ought to enhance the collagen of your pores and skin. I’d say that it ought to, however there aren’t any true scientific research that I do know of which have both confirmed it or disproven it.
Katie: Bought it. And also you talked about TikTok. I’ll hyperlink to yours within the present notes so folks can discover you since you do put up a whole lot of actually useful content material on there. I do know one other factor that has appeared to go viral on TikTok typically is the significance of hydration for pores and skin look. And I’m curious your tackle this. I’m at the moment an enormous fan of including minerals to our hydration as a result of minerals are necessary, I feel, for hormones and sleep and plenty of different issues as nicely. However are there any research or have you ever seen in apply a profit for folks truly enhancing their hydration ranges and that benefiting their look of their pores and skin?
Anthony: I feel typically, there may be enchancment. I don’t know of any precise research which have checked out it. I imply, we additionally take a look at topicals. Whenever you take a look at, let’s say, moisturizers you’re form of doing the identical factor. You’re making an attempt to lock that hydration into your pores and skin. However the way in which I’d describe that, I truly had an individual ask me, “Dr. Youn, you’ve talked about 4 causes of getting old of the pores and skin. Why isn’t hydration a kind of, or dehydration?” And the very fact is, is that dehydration isn’t essentially gonna age your pores and skin on a mobile degree, per se. Now, should you’re dehydrated, sure, your pores and skin can get drier. It could look extra wrinkled. You’ll be able to look older. However the reality is, is that’s not technically older pores and skin on a mobile degree. So, I undoubtedly advocate general hydrating. I feel, within the normal, a glass of water is sweet, however you additionally ideally wanna form of get extra particular with it. I do suppose the minerals are incredible. And also you solely have to ask skilled athletes, school athletes. So lots of them now know that it’s not simply ingesting water or, God forbid, Gatorade. It’s ingesting water and including these particular minerals into it could actually actually assist stop folks from cramping. I truly put minerals in my water the mornings that I function. As I’m getting older, I’m discovering that my palms sometimes will truly cramp up. And so, I began placing minerals in my water each morning, and I’ve that additionally at lunchtime after I’m between operations and stuff, and it actually helps me, too.
Katie: I used to be fascinated to learn this statistic as a result of if we give it some thought, we’re usually informed we’re 60 no matter % water, however actually as people we’re that share of salt water or like mineral-rich water and that’s necessary for electrical communication and a lot. And I learn that an individual who lives in a scorching local weather or an athlete will lose extra minerals in 5 years than the common individual will in a complete lifetime. And so that actually helped me understand like that is one thing to be intentional about replenishing if I’m going to maintain doing all these actions that launch all these minerals by sweat. I additionally need to circle again to autophagy and see if there are any good normal tips for type of maximizing fasting or intermittent fasting for the pores and skin well being side particularly.
Anthony: Yeah, one of many issues that I encourage folks to do, as a result of some folks will quick for weight reduction. Some folks will quick for hormones. Some folks will quick, they’ve bought many, many causes, however after I’m fasting purely from my perspective with my followers, my sufferers, it comes right down to anti-aging. And so, one of many issues that I like to recommend, and all people fasts a bit of bit in a different way. I attempt to encourage folks to do a minimal. Now, a whole lot of my followers aren’t fairly as holistically educated as yours. And so, for me, I attempt to encourage my followers to only begin with the fundamentals. And so, if all you begin off with is a 12-hour in a single day quick, that’s okay. , that’s an enormous begin for some folks. Ideally making an attempt to get that to a 16-hour quick. So, you cease consuming at 8 p.m. and you then don’t eat till midday the following day is what I attempt to encourage folks to do. A part of the 21-day jumpstart in my guide does include intermittent fasting.
One of many issues that I’ve, that we’ve seen work very well, was that on the day you break the quick, as a substitute of simply going again to your regular food regimen, you go to an autophagy supporting food regimen, okay? And what I imply by that’s that we do know that there are specific meals, regardless that you break the quick, you should still be capable to promote autophagy and that autophagy persevering with. And we all know that should you eat roughly 25 grams or extra of protein a day, that may cease autophagy together with carbs. So, protein and carbs actually decelerate or cease the autophagy course of. Wholesome fat, nevertheless, don’t. So, there are two kinds of meals that may truly promote autophagy that you could eat and theoretically proceed that autophagy course of throughout the remainder of that day. And people are wholesome fat like omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids and meals which might be stuffed with polyphenols. So basically, you’re omega-3 fatty acid wealthy meals, so chilly water fish, salmon, mackerel, trout, tuna, anchovies, that sort of factor. Should you take a look at monounsaturated fatty acids, you then’re speaking about nuts and seeds. After which should you’re making an attempt to push polyphenol-rich meals, which polyphenols seem to additionally assist promote the autophagy course of, these are form of just like the darkish coloured fruits, like blackberries, plums, blueberries, strawberries, even black beans. And so, what we’ve completed with the 21-day jumpstart is on these days and also you break the quick, as a substitute of going again to regular food regimen, you go on this basically autophagy food regimen to proceed that technique of autophagy, basically till you could have an everyday breakfast the next morning. And we discovered that to be actually efficient for folks.
Katie: That’s fascinating. And it is sensible as a result of your physique can be in a heightened sense of having the ability to take up issues and also you’re placing actually wealthy, nutrient-dense issues into your physique that it could be willingly uptaking. I’ve observed too, I’ve completed a whole lot of longer fasts, and I’ve talked on right here about that earlier than. And I discover that a number of days into a quick, I truly will begin craving these actual meals that you simply talked about, particularly as I’ve gotten an increasing number of used to fasting. I’d crave anchovies and raspberries and form of odd meals. But it surely is sensible whenever you clarify it that method. It’s like my physique was in all probability prepared for these meals to return again in and to have the ability to take up them.
I do know one other controversial subject in terms of the subject of getting old and pores and skin particularly is the subject of daylight publicity. And I’ve been an enormous proponent on right here of issues like morning daylight for circadian rhythm and hormonal steadiness. And I personally have some genes the place if I take vitamin D dietary supplements, my vitamin D ranges don’t change. So, I do should get some from the solar. However we additionally know that an excessive amount of solar, in fact, can prematurely age the pores and skin. So, I’m curious your tackle that and what you discover is an efficient steadiness. I have a tendency to only put on a hat if I’m within the solar, however I really like the sensation of sunshine on the remainder of my pores and skin. So how do you assist folks or what do you advise on that?
Anthony: So, I feel that like with a whole lot of issues in life, moderation is the important thing. I’ve associates of mine who’re dermatologists who each morning, it could be cloudy out they usually could also be sitting in a basement all day, however they’ll put their sunscreen on. After which I’ve holistic well being associates of mine who’re anti-sunscreen. I’ll inform you for me, I feel that there’s a good pleased medium there someplace. Primary, doctor, particularly as a plastic surgeon, I’ve seen horrific pores and skin most cancers points in sufferers of mine and even associates of mine the place they get a pores and skin most cancers, they get Mohs surgical procedure, and half their nostril is gone afterwards. They usually come to me and I’m like, how do I reconstruct this? I imply, should you get a pores and skin most cancers in your face, it may be completely devastating. And so, you wanna do what you possibly can to forestall that, particularly should you’ve bought lighter coloured pores and skin and also you’re at larger danger.
So undoubtedly I encourage folks general to put on sunblock, not less than an SPF of 30, particularly whenever you’re gonna be out within the solar. Nonetheless, I additionally know residing in Detroit, how therapeutic it’s to get the solar in your face, to see the daylight within the morning, and to actually get that solar. I imply, we escape to the Caribbean usually each winter as a result of man, it’s simply robust right here within the wintertime. So, I do suppose that there’s a contented medium there. I feel that monitoring your vitamin D ranges, I feel is certainly necessary. Ideally carrying the sunscreen, particularly should you’re gonna be out, however on the similar time, additionally getting that solar that you simply want to your personal psychological well being and to your non secular well being and to your inside well being as nicely. So, I feel that there’s a contented medium there. I don’t suppose it’s important to go excessive a technique or one other.
Katie: That’s a fantastic perspective. And also you talked about collagen dietary supplements. I’m curious if there are every other dietary supplements that you simply advocate typically. I do know there’s a very personalised side to any type of supplementation, however I’d guess there are some which might be thought of typically supportive of pores and skin well being getting old.
Anthony: Yeah, so one of many elements of the 21-day jumpstart is a quite simple complement routine that I like to recommend principally for everyone. So, the primary one is gonna be the collagen complement. The second is gonna be a multivitamin. The third one is gonna be omega-3 fatty acids. So as soon as once more, utilizing one thing that’s high-quality omega-3s, I feel it’s tremendous necessary. What we do know is that these are wholesome fat that may truly create a discount of irritation contained in the physique. And one of many 4 important causes of pores and skin getting old is irritation. And that’s one of many huge issues that you are able to do to battle that. So, omega-3 fatty acids, ideally from fish. Should you’re vegan, then go together with the allergy base, that’s superb.
After which a day by day probiotic, I feel is essential. Increasingly we’re studying that there’s a connection between the intestine and our pores and skin. And there’s a gut-skin axis that we’re studying an increasing number of about. And there are precise research now which might be correlating sure points or circumstances that you’ve got within the intestine, like let’s say inflammatory or IBS with inflammatory pores and skin points. And so, taking a day by day probiotic, the thought clearly is, and also you’ve talked about this in your present earlier than, however useful micro organism in your intestine, the well being of the intestine will actually present within the well being of your pores and skin.
After which the ultimate factor I like to recommend is simply taking an antioxidant complement of a wide range of antioxidants. We all know that our produce, our vegatables and fruits, shouldn’t have the identical diet now than they did 50 years in the past. There truly was a research, I’m undecided should you’ve talked about this in your podcast earlier than, however they really checked out our produce from the years 1950 to 1999. So, 49 years’ value of produce. They usually checked out how a lot dietary worth the produce had yearly. And that dietary worth decreased yearly in six important vitamins. And people embody vitamin C, protein, and iron. And so undoubtedly as soon as once more, taking let’s say a day by day antioxidant complement can assist with these tyes of potential nutrient deficiencies.
Katie: And I really like that you simply handle the inner facet in such an in depth method. I really feel like usually within the skincare dialog, the inner facet will get neglected. And I’ve had this dialog equally within the oral healthcare house with creating my toothpaste and all of the analysis that went into that and realizing we consider the mouth as type of this remoted a part of our physique, however it’s so interconnected. And it’s not simply maintaining our tooth clear by brushing and flossing, which is in fact necessary, however it’s issues just like the fat-soluble vitamin content material in our physique and the mineral content material in our physique and the way these issues are interacting in our saliva to have the ability to create mineral steadiness in our mouth.
And I’d guess there’s additionally this side in terms of pores and skin well being, the place all this stuff we now have in our physique, in fact, are gonna feed our pores and skin from the within out. After which in fact, there are issues we will do from the surface in. So, in terms of skincare, what are some good normal tips for folks to concentrate on to form of battle these indicators of getting old?
Anthony: And I feel what you mentioned hits it proper on the nail. Dermatologists historically focus simply on skincare and holistic well being consultants focus simply on the intestine. And I’ve associates of mine who’re like, “Oh, you need your pores and skin to be higher, focus in your intestine.” And it’s like, nicely, you are able to do each. You’ll be able to focus in your intestine, and you need to use the best skincare. And ideally that’s the way you need to deal with it. And I don’t know of lots of people speaking about each. So, I admire asking a query.
What I often advocate for people who find themselves saying, “Hey, what do I do for a easy skincare routine that I do know is gonna work?” And also you don’t have to spend so much of time. You don’t should do a 12-step Korean skincare routine. Should you hold it to the fundamentals, that technically is sufficient. So, each morning you wanna cleanse your pores and skin with a cleanser applicable to your pores and skin sort. Should you’ve bought oily pores and skin, then ideally a foaming-type cleanser will assist to cut back a few of that extra oil. Should you’ve bought dry pores and skin, then use a milky or hydrating cleanser.
After which after that, you wanna use an antioxidant serum. Vitamin C is the most typical that the majority skincare firms have. And the thought is you wanna battle off these free radicals. As soon as once more, one of many 4 important causes of pores and skin getting old, free radicals, oxidation; antioxidants battle that. So, utilizing an antioxidant serum each morning will be very useful. A bonus is should you mix vitamin C and vitamin E serums, and a few of them include each of them in a single, they’re discovered to be synergistic in research and preventing free radicals. So, should you wanna take that to the following degree, not only a vitamin C, do a vitamin C and E serum within the morning.
After which I’d observe that with a sunscreen. As soon as once more, we talked about form of moderation. Should you want a bit of little bit of solar, by all means do what it’s essential do to your personal bodily and psychological well being. And that’s all it’s important to technically do within the morning: cleanse, serum, antioxidant serum, and sunscreen.
At night time, you wanna cleanse your pores and skin. Should you solely cleanse your pores and skin as soon as a day, ensure it’s not less than at night time since you gotta do away with the day’s value of mud, air pollution, grime, and your make-up particularly, okay? Positively use a cleanser. Some folks even double cleanse. We’re utilizing oil cleanser first to do away with form of the grime and the oil and the make-up, after which observe that up together with your normal cleanser afterwards.
And you then wanna apply an anti-aging moisturizer or cream. The one that the majority plastic surgeons and dermatologists advocate, the one which I like to recommend as a place to begin is a retinol. Retinol is a type of vitamin A and might be probably the most scientifically studied anti-aging ingredient that there’s. And the thought behind that isn’t solely does it battle getting old, however it additionally causes the pores and skin to show over, it helps to cut back darkish spots, and it could actually even doubtlessly reverse early pre-skin cancers. So, it’s an enormous deal. And should you decide one anti-aging cream, then I’d decide a retinol. And most skincare merchandise have some type of retinol in them. Of their, let’s say, even cream.
Should you wanna apply moisturizer on prime of that, be happy. , a whole lot of us, we grew up with our mothers making use of chilly cream at night time. You don’t should take care of chilly cream. Numerous these chilly lotions I’m not an enormous fan of due to all of the perfume and all that that may be irritating to your pores and skin. However should you wanna apply moisturizer on prime of that, relying on how your pores and skin is, then be happy to do this. However as soon as once more, maintaining in thoughts, like hydrating with water, that’s not gonna be anti-aging on a mobile degree, however will be extra for consolation.
After which the ultimate factor is each three days or so, you wanna ideally exfoliate your pores and skin. So, with both a bodily exfoliator, which could be a little scrub, or you are able to do a chemical exfoliation with an alpha hydroxy acid. And technically that’s it. So, morning, you cleanse, you apply an antioxidant serum, after which a sunscreen, and the night you cleanse, apply an anti-aging cream like a retinol, moisturizer as wanted, after which twice every week or so exfoliate your pores and skin.
Katie: And as you had been explaining that, and that was a fantastic record, by the way in which, I used to be considering too, these are additionally nutrient deficiencies that usually exist in Individuals, particularly internally. Like we’ve seen our ranges of necessary issues like vitamin C, like vitamin A decline, particularly with age and particularly with the way you defined our meals has misplaced nutrient density through the years. So, it is sensible, such as you’re saying, take a multifaceted strategy, nourish your self from the within out to provide your physique these vitamins, after which additionally apply them to the pores and skin. And you then’re form of hitting either side of it and giving your physique the perfect likelihood at, such as you mentioned, this isn’t that we’re doing one thing to the physique, it’s serving to the physique do what it already is aware of the way to do.
Anthony: And that’s precisely what I imply by the entire technique of autojuvenation. It’s taking all of these issues that perhaps no person has actually put all collectively and saying, “Hey, you recognize what, we will put all this collectively and we will flip again the clock, really feel higher, look higher, have higher vitality.” And should you wanna take another steps, you recognize, there are different issues you are able to do like pink mild remedy at house. That’s a good way to additionally assist to show again the clock of your pores and skin. Some folks do dermaplaning, which basically is a remedy we do within the workplace the place you take away a layer of lifeless pores and skin cells, and you are able to do that at house. There’s a lot that you are able to do that doesn’t entail injections or surgical procedure.
Katie: I really like that. That was going to be one among my follow-up questions as nicely was, is pink mild useful? It’s one thing I’ve experimented with. I feel even useful for thyroid well being for me personally was a factor I observed. And now there are such a lot of house units which might be rather more inexpensive than they was once and that may make that, such as you mentioned, a house remedy as nicely.
Anthony: And there are research, a variety of research that do present useful results of pink mild remedy therapies on the standard of your pores and skin. The query, the research haven’t seemed on the actual mechanism. We expect that that will assist with the mitochondria and serving to with general having your cells basically be extra superpowered basically. We don’t know 100% for certain if that’s what causes the anti-aging, the bodily advantages so far as in your pores and skin, however we do know that there are a number of research that present that the pores and skin does look younger should you do common pink mild remedy therapies on it.
Katie: Nice to know. I’m additionally curious, one other factor that appears to be circulating TikTok is the pattern of doing various kinds of like lymphatic or facial therapeutic massage, the place I’ve completed for years dry brushing on the remainder of my physique, not a lot my face. I’m curious if there’s any significance to that that you simply’ve seen in your work. I’d guess these are not less than in all probability not dangerous practices, whether or not or not they’re tremendous efficient may be up for debate. I simply observed, as an illustration, if I do lymphatic therapeutic massage on my face earlier than mattress, I are likely to sleep very well. And if I do dry brushing within the morning, I get a burst of vitality. However past that, do you’re feeling like there’s something useful to it?
Anthony: So, I feel what you get with each of these is you do get the, principally you get your lymph channels extra lively. And so, we now have lymph channels in our physique, for folks don’t fairly perceive what that’s, is, you recognize, we’ve bought blood vessels, we now have veins and arteries that transfer blood, however there’s truly a separate system of form of like, like vessels basically which might be known as lymph and lymph basically strikes immune cells and excessive protein sort of fluid by our physique. And so, after we develop, let’s say we now have irritation of the physique, you recognize, both from an damage or typically it’s from consuming the unsuitable meals and stuff like that, then you possibly can develop fluid that form of builds up and it builds up and also you don’t do away with that fluid. You’ll be able to’t push it out by the arteries and veins. You push it out by the lymphatic system. And that’s what lots of people like with dry brushing. The rationale why you don’t dry brush from the within out is since you need to push that fluid in the direction of the path of the lymphatics. Once I do surgical procedure on folks, we attempt to have folks therapeutic massage in the direction of the path of these lymphatics to assist transfer that fluid by. So, utilizing, let’s say a gua sha system, utilizing, let’s say a jade curler, that’s what that’s doing helps to maneuver that fluid by. Now, should you add that with sure issues like coolness, lots of people put their jade curler within the fridge or the freezer, then you can even assist to shrink among the pores and skin down quickly.
As soon as once more, we’re not speaking a couple of long-term sort of a change, however you possibly can see some good enhancements. So, should you’re going to go to, let’s say, a category reunion and also you need to perform a little gua sha previous to going out, that may assist snatch your neckline a bit of bit extra and enable you really feel higher about your look then, by all means, that’s good. Dry brushing, although, additionally provides on prime of that, although, the advantage of exfoliation of our pores and skin. , Koreans have completed that sort of factor for tons of of years, however they’re not good. , should you’ve ever been to a Korean spa, it’s not only a dry brush. They take what basically seems like sandpaper they usually simply rub your physique from head to toe with it. Some folks adore it, some folks hate it as a result of it’s painful, however afterward, your pores and skin’s gonna really feel easy as a child’s butt.
Katie: I’ve gotten to have that have as soon as and it was fairly the expertise, however I don’t suppose the top of my grownup life has ever felt so comfortable because it did after that. So, I’d be within the class of people that adore it. Curious from a extra superior perspective too, I feel all of this stuff are so foundational and necessary for everybody.
I usually discuss this; the straightforward issues can usually be neglected due to their simplicity. Even when somebody desires to do the extra superior biohacks, I all the time say get mild dialed in first, get sleep dialed in, get diet dialed in, as a result of the rest you do goes to be more practical anyway. However don’t simply leap to the costly shiny objects first, since you’re going to get a greater bang to your buck should you do the foundational issues first. So, I’d guess there’s very a lot an analogous factor in terms of pores and skin therapies. However I do know that not less than from the web, I’ve seen there’s dozens not less than choices of extra superior skincare therapies folks can do both at house or in workplace. And I’d love to listen to your tackle those which might be truly efficient and value it or perhaps any that aren’t actually value it and or perhaps extra dangerous to keep away from.
Anthony: Yeah, so I imply, the very first thing is after I take a look at it’s a bang to your buck. And the issue that we now have in beauty drugs proper now could be that there are such a lot of units on the market. And the system firms will promote their units to customers making an attempt to form of strain docs and med spots to purchase them saying, “Oh, should you use this, you then’re going to get extra folks within the door.” And it turns into a state of affairs the place if all you could have is a hammer, every part seems like a nail, and it’s important to be as a shopper, it’s essential to concentrate on this.
So, should you’re going to get a beauty remedy completed, you need to just be sure you go to a spot that has a plethora of choices accessible for you, in order that they don’t simply select the one system they’ve that they use on all people. They select a tool that’s going to work finest for you. I’d begin with the fundamentals. Should you’re new to the cosmic house and also you say, “Hey, look, I’ve been doing every part that you simply’re speaking about, Dr. Youn. I’m doing the food regimen stuff. I’m intermittent fasting. I’m utilizing the skincare and dietary supplements, however I’ve bought these spots that simply received’t go away. They usually actually, I really feel like I’d prefer to clear my pores and skin up. What are you able to do this’s not going to be costly or tremendous painful?” Very first thing I’d advocate can be to begin on a brightening cream. Brightening cream that accommodates kojic acid, niacinamide, and/or licorice root extract. That may assist with the darkish spots from the within out. However if you wish to take that to the following degree, take into account IPL therapies, Intense Pulse Mild. This is sort of a laser. The factor with IPL that’s nice is that the units aren’t tremendous costly to buy, and a whole lot of locations have them. It’s chemical free. So, to your listeners who’re actually desirous to attempt to keep away from extra chemical substances within the atmosphere, that is actually simply mild that may truly zap the darkish spots, trigger them to show darker, and inside a couple of week, they begin to slup off. You mix that with a great pure brightening cream and that may actually goal these spots nicely. In order that’s for spots.
Should you’re on the lookout for general simply facial rejuvenation, microneedling is a good way to do this. Microneedling, I feel, is big with autojuvenation as a result of it basically is utilizing your physique’s personal therapeutic mechanisms to really flip again the clock. I discussed earlier, collagen in our pores and skin, they’re form of just like the logs of a log cabin. They’re these fibrils that stick collectively. And as we become older, they turn into extra kinked, they usually begin to collapse a bit. And any of the therapies that we do, whether or not it’s laser, chemical peels, microneedling, we’re inflicting a managed trauma to the pores and skin. That trauma to the collagen causes the collagen because it heals to heal again in a tighter vogue. Basically like placing these logs again tightly into that log cabin. When the remedy is so aggressive that it’s too damaging, then you will get scarring, and we don’t wanna go that far, clearly.
Microneedling is a good remedy that may be very cheap in comparison with different kinds of therapies as a result of the system that we use to do it actually prices us perhaps $3,000 or $4,000 to buy, which within the scheme of beauty drugs in comparison with $200,000 for a laser shouldn’t be that dangerous. And what that does, it makes tiny little pokes within the floor of the pores and skin, creating that acute irritation, inflicting the collagen to tighten up. Should you wanna take that one step additional, then you possibly can apply PRP to the floor of your pores and skin and that accommodates development elements. PRP principally, what we do is we draw your blood, we spin it down, take away the platelets, that are chock stuffed with your individual pure development elements. After which whenever you do the microneedling, principally these tiny little holes which might be made by these tiny little needles go to the deeper pores and skin. Should you do it in a short time after the microneedling and also you apply that PRP on the floor of your pores and skin, it should seep into these tiny little holes to basically rejuvenate your pores and skin from the within out. And that is all pure. It’s simply utilizing your physique’s personal regenerative processes. And that additionally, as soon as once more, in comparison with 1000’s of {dollars} for a laser or a deep, deep chemical peel, a lot, a lot cheaper.
Katie: That’s nice to know. And I do know you go into much more depth in your guide, which I need to ensure we talked about, it’s known as Youthful for Life. And I’ll put that hyperlink within the present notes as nicely, since you get very detailed and you’ve got that complete, I consider, 21-day plan in there. And so, there’s a whole lot of actually detailed data in there.
However I’d additionally like to get your type of fast fireplace tackle among the extra controversial issues associated to cosmetic surgery and all that goes with it. I assume the primary one can be issues like laser hair removing since you talked about lasers are costlier. I do know there’s ache concerned with that one, good or dangerous or detached so far as impact on the physique and what you advocate or don’t there.
Anthony: I feel that may be very useful for sure folks, particularly should you’ve bought points with folliculitis, should you’ve bought points with ingrown hairs, then that may be very useful. Usually, we advocate going to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon’s workplace, however there at the moment are at-home laser hair removing units which have turn into fairly efficient. And so, if, let’s say you reside in an space and also you don’t have entry to a physician, look into a few of these at-home laser hair units, as a result of it may be, as soon as once more, fairly efficient.
Katie: And so far as I do know, there’s none that work very well for mild coloured hair. That’s the draw back for me.
Anthony: That’s the situation, is you want pigment within the hair as a result of the precise lasers goal colours. Principally, they create warmth based mostly off of the colour. And so most laser hair removing units, the colour is brown. And so, it really works very well with mild pores and skin, darkish hair. Should you’ve bought mild pores and skin and light-weight hair doesn’t work as nicely, sadly. And also you don’t actually have any, aside from electrolysis, there aren’t every other nice choices for it sadly.
Katie: Okay, that’s what I believed, however good to know and confirm. The following semi extra controversial one I’d ask about is Botox. I do know that is undoubtedly well-liked amongst a whole lot of the age teams, not less than the people who find themselves listening. It’s one thing I’ve all the time had a whole lot of hesitation round, simply having recovered from autoimmune illness. I’m not a fan of placing something that my physique could not acknowledge in my physique, however I do know many ladies do go for Botox. So, what’s your tackle Botox and if professionals, cons, what to weigh?
Anthony: So, it’s the most well-liked beauty remedy within the historical past of the world. About 5 million or extra folks endure Botox yearly. You might not have identified this as we discuss. I’ve some like proper right here. And what Botox does is it’s a neurotoxin. It’s probably the most highly effective toxins within the universe that we all know of. However should you inject within the tiniest quantity within the muscle tissue, it should stop the nerve transmission to these muscle tissue and trigger these muscle tissue to not work for about three or 4 months. And should you inject it into wrinkles, just like the entrance lens between the eyebrows, the brow, or the crow’s ft, it could actually trigger these wrinkles, basically, these muscle tissue, to then calm down and people wrinkles to easy out.
There are a handful of individuals on-line who do really feel that they’ve had systemic reactions to Botox, to the place they’ve had sure kinds of diseases. I’ve completed a whole lot of analysis into it. In my apply, we in all probability handled 5,000 – 10,000 folks minimal with Botox. I’ve by no means had a significant complication from it of these 5,000, 10,000 folks, not one. However we do know that Botox, when it’s injected, can truly get into the cerebral spinal fluid. There have been research which have checked out mice and discovering that. So, you recognize, I feel with something, it’s gonna be a danger profit evaluation. I’m not a fan of younger folks getting Botox as prophylaxis. I feel that’s loopy. There are people who find themselves encouraging that. I feel that should you’ve bought these strains, they actually hassle you, you wanna strive it, begin small, begin within the frown strains between the brows, and you may all the time add extra later if you need.
Katie: That is sensible. And I’m definitely not one to guage if anyone chooses to do this. The one I’d say doesn’t seem to be a fantastic concept to me. And hopefully this isn’t a pattern that’s catching on. I’ve seen folks injecting it into their entice muscle tissue to make their neck look thinner. And to me, activating a complete muscle doesn’t seem to be the perfect concept.
Anthony: Yeah, I imply that you recognize what that’s, is that there are docs on the market who’re utilizing the Barbie phenomenon to attempt to generate profits. And so, the thought is it’s Entice Tox or Barbie Tox is what they’re calling it to attempt to get a Barbie neck. There’s all the time docs on the market, sadly, who’re making an attempt to control social media and their followers to get stuff that actually isn’t all that useful for them. And a part of it’s to allow them to get within the information. , it’s a clout factor. Persons are doing it for clout. And it’s unlucky. , it’s the identical factor with a few of them recommending like Barbie makeovers. Should you do all these operations to seem like Barbie. And it’s simply because the Barbie film was so well-liked.
However in the long run, with basic surgical procedure, much less is extra. I inform my sufferers, you by no means remorse basic surgical procedure that you simply didn’t do. You solely remorse the work that you simply did that you simply perhaps shouldn’t have had completed. So actually all the time give it some thought. And I’m a plastic surgeon. I do a whole lot of surgical procedure, however the factor is you need to use surgical procedure all the time as a final resort. And sadly, that’s not the case for lots of docs on the market. It’s very disappointing.
Katie: And one other much more controversial one, in fact, is breast implants. And I’ve had folks on right here, each docs and individuals who have skilled signs like a breast implant sickness. So, I’m curious your tackle that and any suggestions you could have earlier than, throughout, after, or typically.
Anthony: So yeah, I used to be one of many first plastic surgeons to go public that I consider breast implant sickness is actual. And I had a whole lot of my colleagues very offended with me. , I went by my conventional coaching and was informed dogma in my coaching is that breast implants don’t make folks sick. And a whole lot of plastic surgeons seemed on the moratorium being lifted on silicone breast implants again in 2006, 2007, as being proof that implants are secure.
The very fact is, whenever you take a look at literature outdoors of the cosmetic surgery scientific literature, you take a look at the rheumatology literature, and there are undoubtedly research and surveys and case studies of people that do get sick from their implants. And whenever you take implants out of anyone who believes they’ve breast implant sickness, about 55 to 85 % of them, their signs will enhance with these implants taken out. I do consider and I do know a whole lot of holistic well being influencers who’ve breast implants, a few of them we’re associates with, widespread associates with, they usually’re wholesome with them, however that’s not all people. And I feel it’s a person course of. We have to know extra about it and sufferers should be knowledgeable of it. The horrible factor, although, is I do know that there are plastic surgeons on the market telling sufferers that after they come to them and I’ve sufferers inform me this, I went to see this physician, I informed him I feel my implants are making me sick and he mentioned I have to see a psychiatrist. Not get my implants out. I have to see a psychiatrist. It’s maddening.
Katie: Wow. Effectively, thanks for clearing that up. And I’m glad to listen to on so many of those ranges that there are such a lot of choices folks can do even from house that may make a noticeable distinction. I feel that’s actually encouraging information. And I really like that it comes from you being able to advocate each and having the ability to do the extra superior procedures as nicely that you simply’re nonetheless the voice of claiming, and there’s this stuff you are able to do that aren’t surgical and surgical procedure won’t be the reply. I really like such a balanced viewpoint. And I really like that you’ve got been this voice for thus many ladies. And a few questions I like to ask for the top of interviews. The primary being if there’s a guide or variety of books which have had a profound impression on you personally, and in that case, what they’re and why.
Anthony: So, I learn the guide, How To not Die, and I’m not vegan or plant-based, however I actually discovered that one modified my outlook, and actually helped to push me to jot down the guide that I wrote, Youthful for Life. And the rationale why I feel I discovered it so fascinating is as a result of it was so based mostly in research and references. And that was one thing that for me, I believed, you recognize what, if I’m gonna write a guide, I wanna have my guide be as well-researched as his. Now, as soon as once more, I’m not plant based mostly. And among the issues that Dr. Greger has in his guide, I disagree with, however I do admire that he did go the additional route and that every part in there has proof behind it, as a result of there are such a lot of books on the market that simply put folks’s opinions on the market and there’s no precise proof behind it. And the truth that he does embody all these references and every part, to me, that was an enormous deal.
Katie: I’ll embody a hyperlink to that within the present notes as nicely. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners that could possibly be associated to the issues we’ve talked about or completely unrelated recommendation.
Anthony: Yeah, my important recommendation is that you could feel and appear your finest with out going below the knife. Should you simply stick to the rules of autojuvenation: food regimen, what to eat, when to eat, dietary supplements, and skincare. Should you simply stick to that, you’re going to be forward of 98% of individuals. Should you add a few of these different issues we talked about, pink mild remedy, dermaplaning, should you take note of your sleep, the best kinds of train, cut back your environmental exposures, and also you’ll be even farther. So, concentrate on these issues first. Should you’re eager about cosmetic surgery, do that different stuff first earlier than you go see a plastic surgeon as a result of hopefully you might discover that by doing all this, your want to see a plastic surgeon goes away.
Katie: Effectively, I admire all this stuff that you simply’ve shared with us on this podcast, like I mentioned, I do know there’s a lot extra in your guide, so extremely advocate you guys verify that out. There’s an absolute wealth of data in there. Thanks a lot to your time. This has been such a enjoyable dialog and I’m so grateful we bought you coming.
Anthony: Thanks a lot, Katie, admire it.
Katie: And thanks as all the time to all of you for listening and sharing your most dear sources, your time, your vitality, and your consideration with us at this time. We’re each so grateful that you simply did, and I hope that you’ll be a part of me once more on the following episode of the Wellness Mama podcast.
