And we go deep on that matter as we speak, in addition to procedures he does and doesn’t advocate, how he thinks that a lot could be accomplished with out ever turning to surgical procedure to essentially enhance pores and skin look and switch again the clock on growing old. 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 are able to basically use our physique’s pure processes to age extra gracefully and even slower or reverse a number of the indicators of growing old. However earlier than we soar into that, I’ve a be aware out of your bio that you simply as soon as performed guitar and sang in a Jimmy Buffett cowl band. And since we not too long ago misplaced him, I might love to listen to this story and the way that began and what it was like.
Anthony: Yeah, I imply, I really began taking part in guitar again in faculty, 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 type 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 interested by 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 might do like play at events, at bars and stuff. And it was my method of, I feel, dwelling out a, if I might decide one job that I might have that I simply, there’s no method I might ever do, however I might love could 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 really moved out to California. Since then, I’ve really, and the band broke up, however since then I’ve performed for my church band often and stuff like that. So, it’s, it was loads of enjoyable, however. It was undoubtedly tiring as a result of as a resident, I might even have days the place I’d work 36 hours after which I would depart the hospital, get become 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 powerful, nevertheless it was enjoyable.
Katie: Wow, I can solely think about, however in all probability an awesome 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 really an ideal springboard into what would be the bulk of our dialog as we speak, which is the work that you simply do now and the various 1000’s of individuals that you simply’ve helped. I feel for type of simply background and place to begin, you employ a time period that I’ve not heard earlier than, which I consider is autojuvenation. And I might love so that you can clarify what meaning and type of a number of 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 high 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 deliver individuals to the working room. And so, I all the time consider that that needs 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 drugs, particularly with surgical procedure, there’s all the time a surgical procedure that’s thought of the top. And should you try this, you’re feeling achieved. For those who’re a normal surgeon, that’s the Whipple. It’s like a giant 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 individuals might belief anyone to do their liposuction, however you may be darn positive if any person’s gonna minimize 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 individuals 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 really stored her in a single day within the hospital only for routine monitoring. Then she went residence, and she or he went residence 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 trying like, to start with, like what occurred right here? Is there one thing I might have accomplished to stop this? And it seems she had a large coronary heart assault. Now we did have her see a heart specialist previous to her surgical procedure. She acquired utterly cleared. She had a stress check. Every little thing was optimistic. There’s no purpose 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 belief that the whole lot I used to be taught about being a surgeon was unsuitable. The purpose shouldn’t be to get individuals to the working room. The purpose needs to be the other. It needs to be, how do I hold individuals 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 trying into various strategies of how do I get individuals 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 present you that look that you simply’ve wished, to show again 5, 10 years and enable you to 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 most of the mothers listening, this is probably not one thing a lot of them have had, however I might guess many have at the least 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 several types of pores and skin elimination surgical procedure, for example. And I’ve all the time hesitated and by no means actually seemed into it severely due to simply understanding issues like fascia and the way related the entire physique is. I simply haven’t had instinct about it. However I really like that you simply, having such a deep understanding of the surgical aspect, nonetheless got here to this conclusion and now assist individuals keep away from it. I’m curious should you might stroll us by means of a number of the dangers that include surgical procedure and likewise a number of the methods round that, as a result of I feel that’s in all probability a hope for lots of people to know there are different choices that it seems like that may work actually, rather well.
Anthony: Yeah, and I feel that one of many surgical procedures I do loads of are tummy tuck surgical procedures, and it’s primarily on mothers, individuals who’ve had, ladies who’ve had a number of youngsters, 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 dying, and each time any person involves see me in session they usually say, “Hey, what’s the worst factor that may occur, Dr. Youn?” I’ll say, “You would die.” I’ll do the whole lot in my energy to stop that, and we’ll take all of the steps crucial that we are able to to make this as protected as attainable, 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 dying 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 kind of factor, however there may be that threat, 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 individuals, and I get so many mothers that are available and say, “Hey, I’m fascinated with a tummy tuck, what do you suppose?” The very first thing I’ll all the time inform them is, should you could be completely satisfied and wholesome and dwell a fulfilled life with out going underneath the knife, then it is best to keep away from surgical procedure. Nevertheless, should you can’t, there are individuals who come to see me they usually’ve had 4 children and their tummy muscular tissues 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 wish to really feel, then we are able to discuss in regards to the specifics of the operation. There are loads of issues that we are able to do now although that may flip again the clock, that may give us a few of these outcomes that we have been in search of that perhaps 20 years in the past, we didn’t have it, we didn’t have, and so ideally if we are able to attempt to level the affected person in that course, that’s what I attempt to do.
Katie: That is sensible. And that’s such an awesome balanced strategy. And it looks as if great, knowledgeable consent. So, for the individuals who nonetheless do select to undergo with it, they’ve a deeper understanding of the chance concerned, in all probability have a greater grasp on restoration and issues they will do to assist as effectively. 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, at the least the idea of with out having a phrase for it not too long ago. I did lab testing for a corporation I’m contemplating investing in, and I came upon my organic age is definitely virtually 10 years youthful than my chronological age, which was actually thrilling. And in order that’s on a mobile stage.
However I feel for lots of us, there’s additionally that component of the exterior going through and what our pores and skin appears like, particularly, particularly as ladies. And so, I feel I might like to delve into the causes of that pores and skin growing 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 might take a look at basically, I consider there are 4 main causes of growing 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 mainly what prompted our pores and skin to really feel tight and to really feel robust. And there’s collagen in our pores and skin, in our muscular tissues, in our bones, in our joints, and different components of our physique. However as we grow old, actually beginning within the mid to late 20s, we lose about 1% of the thickness of the collagen of our pores and skin yearly. Ladies after menopause that will increase to about 2% a 12 months. And that’s why our pores and skin will get thinner as we grow old. And so, to attempt to combat that course of is among the components of autojuvenation.
Second reason behind growing old of the pores and skin is oxidation or free radicals. Free radicals are mainly unstable molecules which are created on account of simply regular metabolism. Our physique creates naturally free radicals as a byproduct of simply being alive. However we are able to get attacked by greater than that relying on what our life-style is. So, consuming loads of extremely processed and processed meals will improve our physique’s quantity of free radicals that it has to cope with. Fried meals additionally free radicals. Even extreme stress has been discovered to extend free radicals. And when you might have too many free radicals attacking your physique on the similar time, it may possibly really harm the DNA in your pores and skin and that may trigger untimely growing old. In order that’s quantity two.
The third reason behind growing old is irritation. And irritation could be acute, or it may be persistent. Acute irritation can really be factor. Whenever you get a minimize and your physique reacts to the minimize by creating some irritation to heal that minimize, that’s really factor. Generally doing sure issues, like let’s say getting a laser remedy or a chemical peel could be acute irritation and that may trigger the pores and skin really to be younger afterwards and the collagen to be tighter and younger showing and molecularly as effectively.
And so, a persistent irritation will not be 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 type of one of many huge causes of irritation. After which the opposite reason behind irritation are superior glycation finish merchandise or AGEs. Sugar as soon as once more is a big wrongdoer right here as a result of when sugar is introduced into the physique, particularly when it’s in extreme quantities, it may possibly really 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 are usually type of caught collectively and are good and agency. However when sugar bonds to that collagen, it may possibly trigger these logs to turn into frayed and that collagen to turn into mainly kinked. And that may trigger untimely growing old. So, irritation by superior glycation finish merchandise, which is when the sugar will connect the collagen, creating these AGEs and by persistent irritation, sometimes by sugar spikes and insulin spikes.
After which the fourth factor, fourth reason behind growing old of our pores and skin is mainly a buildup of mobile waste. And this is among the issues that lots of people extra in conventional drugs don’t actually pay a lot consideration to. You could have dermatologists speaking about utilizing lotions on your pores and skin, however they don’t discuss making an attempt to get that strategy of autophagy revved up. And our cells, as they’re mainly present process metabolism and type 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 mainly recycling or renewal. And that solely happens when you find yourself not consuming. And so, taking time to not eat, to quick, can really 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 effectively.
Katie: That’s fascinating. And it undoubtedly leads into the query of what we are able to do about it, which I can guess a number of of the attainable issues we are able to do primarily based on the way in which you clarify that. Issues like fasting in a method that’s acceptable for our hormones, lowering our stress stage, being conscious of what we eat, and doubtless consuming extra nourishing meals, much less extremely processed meals. However I’m positive there’s rather more that goes into it from there. Based mostly on what you mentioned, I ponder if individuals could be considering are collagen dietary supplements a good suggestion? Are there every other dietary supplements apart from simply collagen that may help collagen and wholesome collagen matrix within the pores and skin? So, I’d like to delve into that. What are issues we are able to do at residence that assist battle every of these completely different causes?
Anthony: Precisely. And in my e book, Youthful for Life, I’ve mainly a three-week jumpstart that comes with all of it. And so, the way in which I take a look at it’s it’s weight loss plan, it’s what to eat, when to eat, dietary supplements to take, and skincare merchandise to make use of. And should you deal with these as type of the first factor, then that may get you actually began. And we’ve got this 21-day jumpstart the place for 21 days, you mainly deal with these 4 issues, you may actually flip again and see enormous 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 acquired a giant 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 wish to ensure that it’s in collagen, hydrolyzed collagen peptides, basically. So, collagen is a giant protein. And should you simply ingest collagen basically, 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 vast protein, and it breaks it down into tiny little peptides and amino acids that your physique can really 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 identify 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 important enchancment in wrinkles, pores and skin elasticity, and pores and skin hydration. So, you’re 1,100, this can be a meta-analysis, so this can be a mixture of a number of research. There are randomized managed scientific trials accomplished with collagen discovering mainly all the identical issues. And a few of them will really take biopsies of the collagen two months after any person 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 effectively? I do know there’s loads of discuss by like Dr. Kate Shanahan and others of those conventional meals that we largely have faraway from our fashionable diets that appear to be extraordinarily rejuvenating. Does bone broth match into that class as effectively?
Anthony: It does. Now, curiously, bone broth makes loads of sense, however there aren’t any research that I do know of which were carried out which have really 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 toes or the cartilage or any of these physique components, for 48 to 72 hours. The massive factor with bone broth is it’s chock filled with collagen, however there are loads of completely different bone broths on the market. And one technique to inform whether or not it does have loads of collagen is should you warmth it up, it turns into mainly that soup. However should you let it cool, if it hardens or type of solidifies into gelatin, that gelatin is definitely collagen. And also you’ll know then that if it’s acquired these type of two phases, relying on the temperature, that most probably you’ve acquired 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 might 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 individuals can discover you since you do publish loads of actually useful content material on there. I do know one other factor that has appeared to go viral on TikTok basically is the significance of hydration for pores and skin look. And I’m curious your tackle this. I’m at present a giant fan of including minerals to our hydration as a result of minerals are vital, I feel, for hormones and sleep and lots of different issues as effectively. However are there any research or have you ever seen in apply a profit for individuals really bettering their hydration ranges and that benefiting their look of their pores and skin?
Anthony: I feel basically, 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 type 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 might describe that, I really had an individual ask me, “Dr. Youn, you’ve talked about 4 causes of growing old of the pores and skin. Why isn’t hydration a kind of, or dehydration?” And the actual fact is, is that dehydration isn’t essentially gonna age your pores and skin on a mobile stage, per se. Now, should you’re dehydrated, sure, your pores and skin can get drier. It might look extra wrinkled. You possibly can look older. However the truth is, is that’s not technically older pores and skin on a mobile stage. So, I undoubtedly advocate general hydrating. I feel, within the normal, a glass of water is nice, however you additionally ideally wanna type of get extra particular with it. I do suppose the minerals are improbable. And also you solely must ask skilled athletes, faculty athletes. So a lot 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 may possibly actually assist stop individuals from cramping. I really put minerals in my water the mornings that I function. As I’m getting older, I’m discovering that my arms often will really 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 vital for electrical communication and a lot. And I learn that an individual who lives in a sizzling 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 means of sweat. I additionally wish to circle again to autophagy and see if there are any good normal tips for form of maximizing fasting or intermittent fasting for the pores and skin well being side particularly.
Anthony: Yeah, one of many issues that I encourage individuals to do, as a result of some individuals will quick for weight reduction. Some individuals will quick for hormones. Some individuals will quick, they’ve acquired 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 everyone fasts just a little bit in another way. I attempt to encourage individuals to do a minimal. Now, loads of my followers are usually not 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. You recognize, that’s a giant begin for some individuals. Ideally making an attempt to get that to a 16-hour quick. So, you cease consuming at 8 p.m. and then you definitely don’t eat till midday the following day is what I attempt to encourage individuals to do. A part of the 21-day jumpstart in my e book does include intermittent fasting.
One of many issues that I’ve, that we’ve seen work rather well, was that on the day you break the quick, as a substitute of simply going again to your regular weight loss plan, you go to an autophagy supporting weight loss plan, okay? And what I imply by that’s that we do know that there are specific meals, though you break the quick, you should still be capable of 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, nonetheless, don’t. So, there are two forms of meals that may really 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 are stuffed with polyphenols. So basically, you’re omega-3 fatty acid wealthy meals, so chilly water fish, salmon, mackerel, trout, tuna, anchovies, that kind of factor. For those who take a look at monounsaturated fatty acids, then you definitely’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 type of just like the darkish coloured fruits, like blackberries, plums, blueberries, strawberries, even black beans. And so, what we’ve accomplished with the 21-day jumpstart is on these days and also you break the quick, as a substitute of going again to regular weight loss plan, you go on this basically autophagy weight loss plan to proceed that strategy of autophagy, basically till you might have a daily breakfast the next morning. And we discovered that to be actually efficient for individuals.
Katie: That’s fascinating. And it is sensible as a result of your physique could 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 will be willingly uptaking. I’ve seen too, I’ve accomplished loads 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 really will begin craving these actual meals that you simply talked about, particularly as I’ve gotten increasingly used to fasting. I might crave anchovies and raspberries and type of odd meals. However it is sensible whenever you clarify it that method. It’s like my physique was in all probability prepared for these meals to come back again in and to have the ability to take up them.
I do know one other controversial matter relating to the subject of growing old and pores and skin particularly is the subject of daylight publicity. And I’ve been a giant proponent on right here of issues like morning daylight for circadian rhythm and hormonal stability. 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 must 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 effective stability. 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 individuals or what do you advise on that?
Anthony: So, I feel that like with loads of issues in life, moderation is the important thing. I’ve pals of mine who’re dermatologists who each morning, it might 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 pals of mine who’re anti-sunscreen. I’ll let you know for me, I feel that there’s a good completely satisfied 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 pals of mine the place they get a pores and skin most cancers, they get Mohs surgical procedure, and half their nostril is gone afterwards. And so they 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 may to stop that, particularly should you’ve acquired lighter coloured pores and skin and also you’re at increased threat.
So undoubtedly I encourage individuals general to put on sunblock, at the least an SPF of 30, particularly whenever you’re gonna be out within the solar. Nevertheless, I additionally know dwelling in Detroit, how therapeutic it’s to get the solar in your face, to see the daylight within the morning, and to essentially get that solar. I imply, we escape to the Caribbean sometimes each winter as a result of man, it’s simply powerful 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 unquestionably vital. Ideally carrying the sunscreen, particularly should you’re gonna be out, however on the similar time, additionally getting that solar that you simply want on your personal psychological well being and on your religious well being and on your interior well being as effectively. So, I feel that there’s a contented medium there. I don’t suppose it’s a must to go excessive a technique or one other.
Katie: That’s an awesome perspective. And also you talked about collagen dietary supplements. I’m curious if there are every other dietary supplements that you simply advocate basically. I do know there’s a very customized side to any type of supplementation, however I might guess there are some which are thought of typically supportive of pores and skin well being growing old.
Anthony: Yeah, so one of many components of the 21-day jumpstart is a quite simple complement routine that I like to recommend mainly 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 vital. What we do know is that these are wholesome fat that may really create a discount of irritation contained in the physique. And one of many 4 principal causes of pores and skin growing old is irritation. And that’s one of many huge issues that you are able to do to combat that. So, omega-3 fatty acids, ideally from fish. For those who’re vegan, then go together with the allergy base, that’s tremendous.
After which a day by day probiotic, I feel is essential. An increasing number of 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 increasingly about. And there are precise research now which are correlating sure points or circumstances that you’ve 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 concept 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 quite a lot of antioxidants. We all know that our produce, our fruit and veggies, wouldn’t have the identical vitamin now than they did 50 years in the past. There really 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. And so they checked out how a lot dietary worth the produce had yearly. And that dietary worth decreased yearly in six principal vitamins. And people embrace vitamin C, protein, and iron. And so undoubtedly as soon as once more, taking let’s say a day by day antioxidant complement may also help with these tyes of potential nutrient deficiencies.
Katie: And I really like that you simply handle the interior aspect in such an in depth method. I really feel like usually within the skincare dialog, the interior aspect will get ignored. 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 form of this remoted a part of our physique, nevertheless it’s so interconnected. And it’s not simply holding our enamel clear by brushing and flossing, which is in fact vital, nevertheless 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 stability in our mouth.
And I might guess there’s additionally this side relating to pores and skin well being, the place all these items we’ve got in our physique, in fact, are gonna feed our pores and skin from the within out. After which in fact, there are issues we are able to do from the skin in. So, relating to skincare, what are some good normal tips for individuals to concentrate on to type of battle these indicators of growing 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 pals of mine who’re like, “Oh, you need your pores and skin to be higher, focus in your intestine.” And it’s like, effectively, you are able to do each. You possibly can focus in your intestine, and you should use the appropriate skincare. And ideally that’s the way you wish to deal with it. And I don’t know of lots of people speaking about each. So, I respect 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 must do a 12-step Korean skincare routine. For those who hold it to the fundamentals, that technically is sufficient. So, each morning you wanna cleanse your pores and skin with a cleanser acceptable on your pores and skin kind. For those who’ve acquired oily pores and skin, then ideally a foaming-type cleanser will assist to cut back a few of that extra oil. For those who’ve acquired 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 almost all skincare firms have. And the concept is you wanna combat off these free radicals. As soon as once more, one of many 4 principal causes of pores and skin growing old, free radicals, oxidation; antioxidants combat that. So, utilizing an antioxidant serum each morning could 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 combating free radicals. So, should you wanna take that to the following stage, not only a vitamin C, do a vitamin C and E serum within the morning.
After which I might observe that with a sunscreen. As soon as once more, we talked about type of moderation. For those who want just a little little bit of solar, by all means do what you must do on your personal bodily and psychological well being. And that’s all it’s a must to technically do within the morning: cleanse, serum, antioxidant serum, and sunscreen.
At evening, you wanna cleanse your pores and skin. For those who solely cleanse your pores and skin as soon as a day, be certain that it’s at the least at evening since you gotta do away with the day’s value of mud, air pollution, grime, and your make-up particularly, okay? Undoubtedly use a cleanser. Some individuals even double cleanse. We’re utilizing oil cleanser first to do away with type of the grime and the oil and the make-up, after which observe that up together with your normal cleanser afterwards.
And then you definitely wanna apply an anti-aging moisturizer or cream. The one that almost all 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 concept behind that isn’t solely does it combat growing old, nevertheless it additionally causes the pores and skin to show over, it helps to cut back darkish spots, and it may possibly even probably reverse early pre-skin cancers. So, it’s an enormous deal. And should you decide one anti-aging cream, then I might decide a retinol. And most skincare merchandise have some form of retinol in them. Of their, let’s say, even cream.
For those who wanna apply moisturizer on high of that, be at liberty. You recognize, loads of us, we grew up with our mothers making use of chilly cream at evening. You don’t must cope with chilly cream. Plenty of these chilly lotions I’m not a giant 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 high of that, relying on how your pores and skin is, then be at liberty to try this. However as soon as once more, holding in thoughts, like hydrating with water, that’s not gonna be anti-aging on a mobile stage, however could 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 generally is 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 have been explaining that, and that was an awesome listing, by the way in which, I used to be considering too, these are additionally nutrient deficiencies that always exist in Individuals, particularly internally. Like we’ve seen our ranges of vital issues like vitamin C, like vitamin A decline, particularly with age and particularly with the way you defined our meals has misplaced nutrient density over time. So, it is sensible, such as you’re saying, take a multifaceted strategy, nourish your self from the within out to present your physique these vitamins, after which additionally apply them to the pores and skin. And then you definitely’re type of hitting each side of it and giving your physique the perfect probability 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 right way to do.
Anthony: And that’s precisely what I imply by the entire strategy 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 are able to put all this collectively and we are able to flip again the clock, really feel higher, look higher, have higher power.” And should you wanna take another steps, you recognize, there are different issues you are able to do like crimson mild remedy at residence. That’s an effective way to additionally assist to show again the clock of your pores and skin. Some individuals 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 residence. 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 considered one of my follow-up questions as effectively was, is crimson 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 seen. And now there are such a lot of residence gadgets which are rather more inexpensive than they was once and that may make that, such as you mentioned, a house remedy as effectively.
Anthony: And there are research, a lot of research that do present useful results of crimson mild remedy remedies on the standard of your pores and skin. The query, the research haven’t seemed on the actual mechanism. We predict that which will assist with the mitochondria and serving to with general having your cells basically be extra superpowered basically. We don’t know 100% for positive 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 crimson mild remedy remedies on it.
Katie: Nice to know. I’m additionally curious, one other factor that appears to be circulating TikTok is the pattern of doing several types of like lymphatic or facial therapeutic massage, the place I’ve accomplished 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 might guess these are at the least in all probability not dangerous practices, whether or not or not they’re tremendous efficient could be up for debate. I simply seen, for example, if I do lymphatic therapeutic massage on my face earlier than mattress, I are likely to sleep rather well. And if I do dry brushing within the morning, I get a burst of power. 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, mainly you get your lymph channels extra lively. And so, we’ve got lymph channels in our physique, for individuals don’t fairly perceive what that’s, is, you recognize, we’ve acquired blood vessels, we’ve got veins and arteries that transfer blood, however there’s really a separate system of type of like, like vessels basically which are known as lymph and lymph basically strikes immune cells and excessive protein kind of fluid by means of our physique. And so, once we develop, let’s say we’ve got irritation of the physique, you recognize, both from an damage or generally it’s from consuming the unsuitable meals and stuff like that, then you may develop fluid that type of builds up and it builds up and also you don’t do away with that fluid. You possibly can’t push it out by means of the arteries and veins. You push it out by means of 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 wish to push that fluid in direction of the course of the lymphatics. After I do surgical procedure on individuals, we attempt to have individuals therapeutic massage in direction of the course of these lymphatics to assist transfer that fluid by means of. So, utilizing, let’s say a gua sha gadget, utilizing, let’s say a jade curler, that’s what that’s doing helps to maneuver that fluid by means of. 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 may also assist to shrink a number of the pores and skin down briefly.
As soon as once more, we’re not speaking a couple of long-term kind of a change, however you may see some good enhancements. So, should you’re going to go to, let’s say, a category reunion and also you wish to perform a little gua sha previous to going out, that may assist snatch your neckline just a little bit extra and enable you to really feel higher about your look then, by all means, that’s good. Dry brushing, although, additionally provides on high of that, although, the good thing about exfoliation of our pores and skin. You recognize, Koreans have accomplished that kind of factor for lots of of years, however they’re not good. You recognize, should you’ve ever been to a Korean spa, it’s not only a dry brush. They take what basically appears like sandpaper they usually simply rub your physique from head to toe with it. Some individuals find it irresistible, some individuals hate it as a result of it’s painful, however afterward, your pores and skin’s gonna really feel clean 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 tip of my grownup life has ever felt so mushy because it did after that. So, I might be within the class of people that find it irresistible. Curious from a extra superior perspective too, I feel all of these items are so foundational and vital for everybody.
I usually discuss this; the straightforward issues can usually be ignored due to their simplicity. Even when somebody needs to do the extra superior biohacks, I all the time say get mild dialed in first, get sleep dialed in, get vitamin dialed in, as a result of the rest you do goes to be simpler anyway. However don’t simply soar to the costly shiny objects first, since you’re going to get a greater bang on your buck should you do the foundational issues first. So, I might guess there’s very a lot an analogous factor relating to pores and skin remedies. However I do know that at the least from the web, I’ve seen there’s dozens at the least choices of extra superior skincare remedies individuals can do both at residence or in workplace. And I might love to listen to your tackle those which are really 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 on your buck. And the issue that we’ve got in beauty drugs proper now’s that there are such a lot of gadgets on the market. And the gadget firms will promote their gadgets to customers making an attempt to type of stress medical doctors and med spots to purchase them saying, “Oh, should you use this, then you definitely’re going to get extra individuals within the door.” And it turns into a scenario the place if all you might have is a hammer, the whole lot appears like a nail, and it’s a must to be as a shopper, you could pay attention to this.
So, should you’re going to get a beauty remedy accomplished, you wish to just be sure you go to a spot that has a plethora of choices obtainable for you, so that they don’t simply select the one gadget they’ve that they use on everyone. They select a tool that’s going to work greatest for you. I might begin with the fundamentals. For those who’re new to the cosmic house and also you say, “Hey, look, I’ve been doing the whole lot that you simply’re speaking about, Dr. Youn. I’m doing the weight loss plan stuff. I’m intermittent fasting. I’m utilizing the skincare and dietary supplements, however I’ve acquired these spots that simply received’t go away. And so they actually, I really feel like I’d wish to clear my pores and skin up. What are you able to try this’s not going to be costly or tremendous painful?” Very first thing I might advocate could be to start out 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 stage, contemplate IPL remedies, Intense Pulse Mild. This is sort of a laser. The factor with IPL that’s nice is that the gadgets are usually not tremendous costly to buy, and loads of locations have them. It’s chemical free. So, on your listeners who’re actually eager to attempt to keep away from extra chemical compounds within the atmosphere, that is actually simply mild that may really zap the darkish spots, trigger them to show darker, and inside a couple of week, they begin to slup off. You mix that with pure brightening cream and that may actually goal these spots effectively. In order that’s for spots.
For those who’re in search of general simply facial rejuvenation, microneedling is an effective way to try this. Microneedling, I feel, is large 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 type of just like the logs of a log cabin. They’re these fibrils that stick collectively. And as we grow old, they turn into extra kinked, they usually begin to disintegrate a bit. And any of the remedies 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 trend. Basically like placing these logs again tightly into that log cabin. When the remedy is so aggressive that it’s too damaging, then you may 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 forms of remedies as a result of the gadget 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 will not 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. For those who wanna take that one step additional, then you may apply PRP to the floor of your pores and skin and that accommodates progress elements. PRP mainly, what we do is we draw your blood, we spin it down, take away the platelets, that are chock filled with your personal pure progress elements. After which whenever you do the microneedling, mainly these tiny little holes which are made by these tiny little needles go to the deeper pores and skin. For those who do it in a short time after the microneedling and also you apply that PRP on the floor of your pores and skin, it’ll 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 inexpensive.
Katie: That’s nice to know. And I do know you go into much more depth in your e book, which I wish to be certain that we talked about, it’s known as Youthful for Life. And I’ll put that hyperlink within the present notes as effectively, since you get very detailed and you’ve got that complete, I consider, 21-day plan in there. And so, there’s loads of actually detailed data in there.
However I might additionally like to get your form of fast hearth tackle a number of the extra controversial issues associated to cosmetic surgery and all that goes with it. I suppose the primary one could be issues like laser hair elimination since you talked about lasers are dearer. 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 individuals, particularly should you’ve acquired points with folliculitis, should you’ve acquired points with ingrown hairs, then that may be very useful. Basically, we advocate going to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon’s workplace, however there are actually at-home laser hair elimination gadgets 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 gadgets, 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 rather 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. Mainly, they create warmth primarily based off of the colour. And so most laser hair elimination gadgets, the colour is brown. And so, it really works rather well with mild pores and skin, darkish hair. For those who’ve acquired mild pores and skin and light-weight hair doesn’t work as effectively, 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 might ask about is Botox. I do know that is undoubtedly in style amongst loads of the age teams, at the least the people who find themselves listening. It’s one thing I’ve all the time had loads of hesitation round, simply having recovered from autoimmune illness. I’m not a fan of placing something that my physique might 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 preferred beauty remedy within the historical past of the world. About 5 million or extra individuals endure Botox yearly. You might not have recognized this as we discuss. I’ve some like proper right here. And what Botox does is it’s a neurotoxin. It’s one of the highly effective toxins within the universe that we all know of. However should you inject within the tiniest quantity within the muscular tissues, it’ll stop the nerve transmission to these muscular tissues and trigger these muscular tissues 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 toes, it may possibly trigger these wrinkles, basically, these muscular tissues, to then chill out and people wrinkles to clean 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 forms of diseases. I’ve accomplished loads of analysis into it. In my apply, we in all probability handled 5,000 – 10,000 individuals minimal with Botox. I’ve by no means had a serious complication from it of these 5,000, 10,000 individuals, not one. However we do know that Botox, when it’s injected, can really 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 threat profit evaluation. I’m not a fan of younger individuals getting Botox as prophylaxis. I feel that’s loopy. There are people who find themselves encouraging that. I feel that should you’ve acquired these traces, they actually trouble you, you wanna strive it, begin small, begin within the frown traces between the brows, and you may all the time add extra later if you would like.
Katie: That is sensible. And I’m actually not one to guage if anyone chooses to try this. The one I might say doesn’t look like an awesome thought to me. And hopefully this isn’t a pattern that’s catching on. I’ve seen individuals injecting it into their lure muscular tissues to make their neck look thinner. And to me, activating a whole muscle doesn’t look like the perfect thought.
Anthony: Yeah, I imply that you recognize what that’s, is that there are medical doctors on the market who’re utilizing the Barbie phenomenon to attempt to become profitable. And so, the concept is it’s Lure Tox or Barbie Tox is what they’re calling it to attempt to get a Barbie neck. There’s all the time medical doctors 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. You recognize, it’s a clout factor. Individuals are doing it for clout. And it’s unlucky. You recognize, it’s the identical factor with a few of them recommending like Barbie makeovers. For those who do all these operations to appear to be Barbie. And it’s simply because the Barbie film was so in style.
However ultimately, with traditional surgical procedure, much less is extra. I inform my sufferers, you by no means remorse traditional 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 accomplished. So actually all the time give it some thought. And I’m a plastic surgeon. I do loads of surgical procedure, however the factor is you wish to use surgical procedure all the time as a final resort. And sadly, that’s not the case for lots of medical doctors on the market. It’s very disappointing.
Katie: And one other much more controversial one, in fact, is breast implants. And I’ve had individuals on right here, each medical doctors and individuals who have skilled signs like a breast implant sickness. So, I’m curious your tackle that and any suggestions you might have earlier than, throughout, after, or basically.
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 loads of my colleagues very indignant with me. You recognize, I went by means of my conventional coaching and was informed dogma in my coaching is that breast implants don’t make individuals sick. And loads of plastic surgeons seemed on the moratorium being lifted on silicone breast implants again in 2006, 2007, as being proof that implants are protected.
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 reviews of people that do get sick from their implants. And whenever you take implants out of any person 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 loads of holistic well being influencers who’ve breast implants, a few of them we’re pals with, widespread pals with, they usually’re wholesome with them, however that’s not everyone. And I feel it’s a person course of. We have to know extra about it and sufferers have to be knowledgeable of it. The horrible factor, although, is I do know that there are plastic surgeons on the market telling sufferers that once 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 must see a psychiatrist. Not get my implants out. I must 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 individuals can do even from residence 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 effectively that you simply’re nonetheless the voice of claiming, and there’s these items 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 been this voice for therefore many ladies. And a few questions I like to ask for the tip of interviews. The primary being if there’s a e book or variety of books which have had a profound affect on you personally, and in that case, what they’re and why.
Anthony: So, I learn the e book, 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 write down the e book 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 primarily based in research and references. And that was one thing that for me, I believed, you recognize what, if I’m gonna write a e book, I wanna have my e book be as well-researched as his. Now, as soon as once more, I’m not plant primarily based. And a number of the issues that Dr. Greger has in his e book, I disagree with, however I do admire that he did go the additional route and that the whole lot in there has proof behind it, as a result of there are such a lot of books on the market that simply put individuals’s opinions on the market and there’s no precise proof behind it. And the truth that he does embrace all these references and the whole lot, to me, that was a giant deal.
Katie: I’ll embrace a hyperlink to that within the present notes as effectively. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners that might be associated to the issues we’ve talked about or solely unrelated recommendation.
Anthony: Yeah, my principal recommendation is that you could appear and feel your greatest with out going underneath the knife. For those who simply keep on with the ideas of autojuvenation: weight loss plan, what to eat, when to eat, dietary supplements, and skincare. For those who simply keep on with that, you’re going to be forward of 98% of individuals. For those who add a few of these different issues we talked about, crimson mild remedy, dermaplaning, should you take note of your sleep, the appropriate forms of train, scale back your environmental exposures, and also you’ll be even farther. So, deal with these issues first. For those who’re fascinated with cosmetic surgery, do that different stuff first earlier than you go see a plastic surgeon as a result of hopefully it’s possible you’ll discover that by doing all this, your want to see a plastic surgeon goes away.
Katie: Effectively, I respect all these items that you simply’ve shared with us on this podcast, like I mentioned, I do know there’s a lot extra in your e book, so extremely advocate you guys examine that out. There’s an absolute wealth of information in there. Thanks a lot on your time. This has been such a enjoyable dialog and I’m so grateful we acquired you coming.
Anthony: Thanks a lot, Katie, respect it.
