And I’m right here with Dr. Anthony Youn, who is called America’s holistic plastic surgeon.

He is essentially the most adopted plastic surgeon on social media with over 4.5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and eight million followers on TikTok. And his new e book, Younger for Life, is a whole holistic information to turning again the clock on the method of getting older with autojuvenation. And we go deep on that subject in the present day, in addition to procedures he does and doesn’t suggest, how he thinks that a lot might be completed with out ever turning to surgical procedure to essentially enhance pores and skin look and switch again the clock on getting older. And he provides some very particular ideas 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: Thank you 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 older. But earlier than we leap into that, I’ve a word 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 school, and I’m very mediocre of a guitarist and singer. And so, once I began my residency, I simply, I’ve all the time had this sort of inventive streak. And I assumed, you recognize, I’m this large fan of Jimmy Buffett. And I heard that there have been some people who find themselves enthusiastic about 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 throughout 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 means of, I believe, dwelling out a, if I may choose one job that I may have that I simply, there’s no means I may ever do, however I might 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 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 sometimes and stuff like that. So, it’s, it was a variety of enjoyable, however. It was positively 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 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 powerful, but it surely was enjoyable.
Katie: Wow, I can solely think about, however in all probability an ideal inventive 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 in the present day, which is the work that you simply do now and the various 1000’s of individuals that you simply’ve helped. I believe for type of simply background and start line, you employ a time period that I’ve not heard earlier than, which I imagine is autojuvenation. And I might love so that you can clarify what which means and type 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 yr 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 follow again in 2004. And throughout the subsequent in all probability 5 to seven years, I reached what I assumed was a pinnacle of success. At 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 aim of being a surgeon is to convey folks to the working room. And so, I all the time imagine that that ought to be my aim.
And then a affected person fully modified that and flipped that the other way up for me. So, I assumed I’d reached the head of success. And while you take a look at totally different fields of medication, particularly with surgical procedure, there’s all the time a surgical procedure that’s thought-about the head. And for those who do this, you are feeling completed. If you’re a basic 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 folks could belief anyone to do their liposuction, however you’ll 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 follow, I assumed that I’d reached the head of success. I used to be having folks flying in from all around 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 saved 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 mom die?” She died that weekend just some days after I carried out a facelift on her, and it despatched me right into a tailspin. Because up till then, I’d by no means actually 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 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 fully cleared. She had a stress take a look at. Everything 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-about closing out my follow, 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 little thing I used to be taught about being a surgeon was improper. The aim shouldn’t be to get folks to the working room. The aim ought to be the alternative. It ought to be, how do I hold folks out of the working room, but hold them feeling nice about themselves and looking out nice and all of that? And so, I actually began to spend years then wanting into various 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 talents to show again the clock, to offer 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 extreme story. And I can solely think about what it was like to truly have lived that have. But 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 a lot of them have had, however I might guess many have not less than thought-about the provision of all of the totally different choices associated to surgical procedure. I do know, susceptible for me personally, after having six infants, I’ve thought-about various kinds of pores and skin elimination surgical procedure, for example. And I’ve all the time hesitated and by no means actually appeared into it critically 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. But I really like that you simply, having such a deep understanding of the surgical aspect, nonetheless got here to this conclusion and now assist folks keep away from it. I’m curious for those who may stroll us by means of among the dangers that include surgical procedure and likewise among the methods round that, as a result of I believe that’s in all probability a hope for lots of people to grasp there are different choices that it feels like that may work actually, very well.
Anthony: Yeah, and I believe that one of many surgical procedures I do a variety 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 means. Now, the dangers of surgical procedure begin with dying, and every time any person involves see me in session they usually say, “Hey, what’s the worst thing that can happen, Dr. Youn?” I’ll say, “You could die.” I’ll do every little thing in my energy to stop that, and we’ll take all of the steps obligatory that we will to make this as secure 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 fee with elective surgical procedure, and it’s about one in 50,000 individuals who have beauty surgical procedure will die from the operation.
Now, normally it’s not as a result of a surgeon tousled, it’s normally anesthesia-related problems, underlying sicknesses, and that kind of factor, however there may be that threat, and in order that’s the very first thing you wanna consider. Specifically with the stomach, it’s a troublesome factor as a result of as soon as once more, every time I get folks, and I get so many mothers that are available and say, “Hey, I’m thinking about a tummy tuck, what do you think?” The very first thing I’ll all the time inform them is, for those who might be joyful and wholesome and dwell a fulfilled life with out going beneath the knife, then you need to keep away from surgical procedure. However, for those who can’t, there are individuals who come to see me they usually’ve had 4 children 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 concerning the specifics of the operation. There are a variety of issues that we will do now although that may flip again the clock, that may give us a few of these outcomes that we had been in search of that possibly 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 course, that’s what I attempt to do.
Katie: That is sensible. And that’s such an ideal balanced method. And it looks like 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 nicely. But 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 not too long ago. I did lab testing for an organization 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 degree.
But I believe for lots of us, there’s additionally that ingredient of the exterior dealing with and what our pores and skin appears to be like like, particularly, particularly as ladies. And so, I believe I might like to delve into the causes of that pores and skin getting older 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 normally, I imagine there are 4 main causes of getting older of our pores and skin. The first main trigger is collagen degradation. Seventy to 80% of our pores and skin consists of collagen. Collagen is principally what prompted 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 components of our physique. But as we become 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. Women after menopause that will increase to about 2% a yr. And that’s why our pores and skin will get thinner as we become old. And so, to attempt to combat that course of is without doubt one of the components of autojuvenation.
Second explanation for getting older 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. But we will get attacked by greater than that relying on what our life-style is. So, consuming a variety of extremely processed and processed meals will enhance 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 may have too many free radicals attacking your physique on the identical time, it will probably really harm the DNA in your pores and skin and that may trigger untimely getting older. So that’s quantity two.
The third explanation for getting older is irritation. And irritation might be acute, or it may be power. Acute irritation can really be a great factor. When you get a minimize and your physique reacts to the minimize by creating some irritation to heal that minimize, that’s really a great factor. Sometimes doing sure issues, like let’s say getting a laser therapy or a chemical peel might 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 nicely.
And so, a power irritation just isn’t a great factor. And power irritation, one of many main causes of that’s sugar. And we all know sugar causes irritation since you get sugar spikes may cause insulin spikes, insulin spikes can create power irritation. And so, sugar is type of one of many large causes of irritation. And then the opposite explanation for irritation are superior glycation finish merchandise or AGEs. Sugar as soon as once more is a big offender right here as a result of when sugar is introduced into the physique, particularly when it’s in extreme quantities, it will probably 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 might be usually type of caught collectively and are good and agency. But when sugar bonds to that collagen, it will probably trigger these logs to grow to be frayed and that collagen to grow to be principally kinked. And that may trigger untimely getting older. So, irritation by superior glycation finish merchandise, which is when the sugar will connect the collagen, creating these AGEs and by power irritation, sometimes by sugar spikes and insulin spikes.
And then the fourth factor, fourth explanation for getting older of our pores and skin is principally a buildup of mobile waste. And this is without doubt one of the issues that lots of people extra in conventional medication don’t actually pay a lot consideration to. You could have dermatologists speaking about utilizing lotions to your pores and skin, however they don’t speak about attempting to get that technique of autophagy revved up. And our cells, as they’re principally present process metabolism and type of the conventional each 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 end up 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 perform extra effectively and successfully, and that is also anti-aging as nicely.
Katie: That’s fascinating. And it positively leads into the query of what we will do about it, which I can guess a couple of of the attainable issues we will do primarily based on the way in which you clarify that. Things like fasting in a means that’s acceptable for our hormones, lowering our stress degree, being conscious of what we eat, and doubtless consuming extra nourishing meals, much less extremely processed meals. But I’m positive there’s way more that goes into it from there. Based on what you mentioned, I ponder if folks is likely to be considering are collagen dietary supplements a good suggestion? Are there another dietary supplements moreover 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 totally different causes?
Anthony: Exactly. And in my e book, Younger 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 eating regimen, it’s what to eat, when to eat, dietary supplements to take, and skincare merchandise to make use of. And for those who give attention to 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 principally give attention to these 4 issues, you may actually flip again and see big adjustments in your pores and skin.
So so far as basic 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 doctor said collagen supplements don’t work, your body won’t absorb it, it gets broken down in the stomach.” The reality is that collagen, while you purchase collagen, you need to guarantee that it’s in collagen, hydrolyzed collagen peptides, basically. So, collagen is a giant protein. And for those who simply ingest collagen normally, your physique, sure, will break it down. When you take a look at collagen dietary supplements, that’s why collagen dietary supplements, the most effective 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 really soak up. So, your physique does soak 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 reality, 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 taking a look at 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 completed with collagen discovering principally 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 nicely? I do know there’s a variety 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 variety 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 totally different, whether or not it’s the toes or the cartilage or any of these physique components, for 48 to 72 hours. The large factor with bone broth is it’s chock filled with collagen, however there are a variety of totally different bone broths on the market. And one method to inform whether or not it does have a variety of collagen is for those who warmth it up, it turns into principally that soup. But for those who let it cool, if it hardens or type of solidifies into gelatin, that gelatin is definitely collagen. And you’ll know then that if it’s acquired these type of two phases, relying on the temperature, that almost certainly you’ve acquired a great bone broth there. Now, bone broth is stuffed with collagen, so it does make sense that for those who 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: Got it. And you talked about TikTok. I’ll hyperlink to yours within the present notes so folks can discover you since you do publish a variety of actually useful content material on there. I do know one other factor that has appeared to go viral on TikTok normally is the significance of hydration for pores and skin look. And I’m curious your tackle this. I’m presently a giant fan of including minerals to our hydration as a result of minerals are vital, I believe, for hormones and sleep and lots of different issues as nicely. But are there any research or have you ever seen in follow a profit for folks really bettering their hydration ranges and that benefiting their look of their pores and skin?
Anthony: I believe normally, 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. When you take a look at, let’s say, moisturizers you’re type of doing the identical factor. You’re attempting to lock that hydration into your pores and skin. But the way in which I might describe that, I really had an individual ask me, “Dr. Youn, you’ve talked about four causes of aging of the skin. Why isn’t hydration one of those, 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, for those who’re dehydrated, sure, your pores and skin can get drier. It can look extra wrinkled. You can look older. But the very fact is, is that’s not technically older pores and skin on a mobile degree. So, I positively suggest general hydrating. I believe, within the basic, a glass of water is sweet, however you additionally ideally wanna type of get extra particular with it. I do assume the minerals are unbelievable. And you solely must ask skilled athletes, school athletes. So a lot of them now know that it’s not simply consuming water or, God forbid, Gatorade. It’s consuming water and including these particular minerals into it will probably actually assist stop folks from cramping. I really put minerals in my water the mornings that I function. As I’m getting older, I’m discovering that my palms sometimes will really cramp up. And so, I began placing minerals in my water each morning, and I’ve that additionally at lunchtime once 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 typically instructed we’re 60 no matter p.c 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 basically helped me notice 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 need to circle again to autophagy and see if there are any good basic 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 acquired many, many causes, however once I’m taking a look at 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 bit in another way. I attempt to encourage folks to do a minimal. Now, a variety of my followers are usually not fairly as holistically educated as yours. And so, for me, I attempt to encourage my followers to simply 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 know, that’s a giant begin for some folks. Ideally attempting to get that to a 16-hour quick. So, you cease consuming at 8 p.m. and then you definately don’t eat till midday the following day is what I attempt to encourage folks to do. Part of the 21-day jumpstart in my e book does include intermittent fasting.
One of the 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 eating regimen, you go to an autophagy supporting eating regimen, okay? And what I imply by that’s that we do know that there are particular meals, though you break the quick, you should still have the ability to promote autophagy and that autophagy persevering with. And we all know that for those who 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. Healthy fat, nevertheless, don’t. So, there are two sorts of meals that may really promote autophagy which you can eat and theoretically proceed that autophagy course of throughout the remainder of that day. And these are wholesome fat like omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids and meals which might be stuffed with polyphenols. So basically, you’re taking a look at omega-3 fatty acid wealthy meals, so chilly water fish, salmon, mackerel, trout, tuna, anchovies, that kind of factor. If you take a look at monounsaturated fatty acids, then you definately’re speaking about nuts and seeds. And then for those who’re taking a look at attempting 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 completed with the 21-day jumpstart is on these days and also you break the quick, as a substitute of going again to regular eating regimen, you go on this basically autophagy eating regimen to proceed that technique of autophagy, basically till you may have a daily 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 with the ability to soak 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 variety of longer fasts, and I’ve talked on right here about that earlier than. And I discover that a couple of days into a quick, I really will begin craving these precise 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. But it is sensible while you clarify it that means. It’s like my physique was in all probability prepared for these meals to return again in and to have the ability to soak up them.
I do know one other controversial subject with regards to the subject of getting older 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 need to get some from the solar. But 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 simply 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 believe that like with a variety of issues in life, moderation is the important thing. I’ve buddies 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. And then I’ve holistic well being buddies of mine who’re anti-sunscreen. I’ll let you know for me, I believe that there’s a good joyful medium there someplace. Number one, doctor, particularly as a plastic surgeon, I’ve seen horrific pores and skin most cancers points in sufferers of mine and even buddies 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 they arrive to me and I’m taking a look at like, how do I reconstruct this? I imply, for those who 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 for those who’ve acquired lighter coloured pores and skin and also you’re at increased threat.
So positively I encourage folks general to put on sunblock, not less than an SPF of 30, particularly while you’re gonna be out within the solar. However, 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 assume that there’s a contented medium there. I believe that monitoring your vitamin D ranges, I believe is certainly vital. Ideally sporting the sunscreen, particularly for those who’re gonna be out, however on the identical time, additionally getting that solar that you simply want to your personal psychological well being and to your religious well being and to your interior well being as nicely. So, I believe that there’s a contented medium there. I don’t assume it’s important to go excessive a technique or one other.
Katie: That’s an ideal perspective. And you talked about collagen dietary supplements. I’m curious if there are another dietary supplements that you simply suggest normally. I do know there’s a very personalised side to any type of supplementation, however I might guess there are some which might be thought-about usually supportive of pores and skin well being getting older.
Anthony: Yeah, so one of many components 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 one 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 believe 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 predominant causes of pores and skin getting older is irritation. And that’s one of many large issues that you are able to do to combat that. So, omega-3 fatty acids, ideally from fish. If you’re vegan, then go together with the allergy base, that’s advantageous.
And then a each day probiotic, I believe is essential. More and extra 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 might be 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 each 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.
And then the ultimate factor I like to recommend is simply taking an antioxidant complement of a wide range of antioxidants. We know that our produce, our vegatables and fruits, do not need the identical diet now than they did 50 years in the past. There really was a examine, I’m unsure for those who’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 they checked out how a lot dietary worth the produce had yearly. And that dietary worth decreased yearly in six predominant vitamins. And these embody vitamin C, protein, and iron. And so positively as soon as once more, taking let’s say a each day antioxidant complement might 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 means. I really feel like typically within the skincare dialog, the interior aspect will get missed. 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, but it surely’s so interconnected. And it’s not simply protecting our tooth clear by brushing and flossing, which is in fact vital, but it surely’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 with regards 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. And then in fact, there are issues we will do from the skin in. So, with regards to skincare, what are some good basic tips for folks to pay attention to to type of battle these indicators of getting older?
Anthony: And I believe what you mentioned hits it proper on the nail. Dermatologists historically focus simply on skincare and holistic well being specialists focus simply on the intestine. And I’ve buddies of mine who’re like, “Oh, you want your skin to be better, focus on your gut.” And it’s like, nicely, you are able to do each. You can focus in your intestine, and you should utilize the fitting 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 normally suggest for people who find themselves saying, “Hey, what do I do for a simple skincare routine that I know is gonna work?” And you don’t have to spend so much of time. You don’t need to do a 12-step Korean skincare routine. If you retain it to the fundamentals, that technically is sufficient. So, each morning you wanna cleanse your pores and skin with a cleanser acceptable to your pores and skin kind. If you’ve acquired oily pores and skin, then ideally a foaming-type cleanser will assist to scale back a few of that extra oil. If you’ve acquired dry pores and skin, then use a milky or hydrating cleanser.
And then after that, you wanna use an antioxidant serum. Vitamin C is the most typical that the majority skincare corporations have. And the concept is you wanna combat off these free radicals. Once once more, one of many 4 predominant causes of pores and skin getting older, free radicals, oxidation; antioxidants combat that. So, utilizing an antioxidant serum each morning might be very useful. A bonus is for those who 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, for those who wanna take that to the following degree, not only a vitamin C, do a vitamin C and E serum within the morning.
And then I might comply with that with a sunscreen. Once once more, we talked about type of moderation. If you want a bit little bit of solar, by all means do what you want to 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 evening, you wanna cleanse your pores and skin. If you solely cleanse your pores and skin as soon as a day, be certain that it’s not less than at evening since you gotta eliminate the day’s value of mud, air pollution, grime, and your make-up particularly, okay? Definitely use a cleanser. Some folks even double cleanse. We’re utilizing oil cleanser first to eliminate type of the filth and the oil and the make-up, after which comply with that up together with your basic cleanser afterwards.
And then you definately wanna apply an anti-aging moisturizer or cream. The one that the majority plastic surgeons and dermatologists suggest, 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 essentially the most scientifically studied anti-aging ingredient that there’s. And the concept behind that isn’t solely does it combat getting older, but it surely additionally causes the pores and skin to show over, it helps to scale back darkish spots, and it will probably even probably reverse early pre-skin cancers. So, it’s an enormous deal. And for those who choose one anti-aging cream, then I might choose a retinol. And most skincare merchandise have some type of retinol in them. In their, let’s say, even cream.
If you wanna apply moisturizer on prime of that, be happy. You know, a variety of us, we grew up with our mothers making use of chilly cream at evening. You don’t need to cope with chilly cream. A number 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. But for those who wanna apply moisturizer on prime of that, relying on how your pores and skin is, then be happy to try this. But as soon as once more, protecting in thoughts, like hydrating with water, that’s not gonna be anti-aging on a mobile degree, however might be extra for consolation.
And then the ultimate factor is each three days or so, you wanna ideally exfoliate your pores and skin. So, with both a bodily exfoliator, which is usually 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 an ideal record, by the way in which, I used to be considering too, these are additionally nutrient deficiencies that usually exist in Americans, 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 through the years. So, it is sensible, such as you’re saying, take a multifaceted method, nourish your self from the within out to offer your physique these vitamins, after which additionally apply them to the pores and skin. And then you definately’re type of hitting each side of it and giving your physique the most effective 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 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 possibly no person has actually put all collectively and saying, “Hey, you know what, we can put all this together and we can turn back the clock, feel better, look better, have better energy.” And for those who wanna take another steps, you recognize, there are different issues you are able to do like crimson gentle 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 therapy we do within the workplace the place you take away a layer of useless 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 in every of my follow-up questions as nicely was, is crimson gentle useful? It’s one thing I’ve experimented with. I believe even useful for thyroid well being for me personally was a factor I observed. And now there are such a lot of house gadgets which might be way more reasonably priced than they was and that may make that, such as you mentioned, a house therapy as nicely.
Anthony: And there are research, a lot of research that do present useful results of crimson gentle remedy remedies on the standard of your pores and skin. The query, the research haven’t appeared on the precise mechanism. We assume 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 for those who do common crimson gentle remedy remedies on it.
Katie: Great 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 might guess these are not less than in all probability not dangerous practices, whether or not or not they’re tremendous efficient is likely to be up for debate. I simply observed, for example, if I do lymphatic therapeutic massage on my face earlier than mattress, I are inclined to sleep very well. And if I do dry brushing within the morning, I get a burst of power. But past that, do you are feeling like there’s something useful to it?
Anthony: So, I believe what you get with each of these is you do get the, principally you get your lymph channels extra energetic. And so, we’ve got lymph channels in our physique, for folks 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 might be 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 typically it’s from consuming the improper meals and stuff like that, then you may develop fluid that type of builds up and it builds up and also you don’t eliminate that fluid. You 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 motive why you don’t dry brush from the within out is since you need to push that fluid in direction of the course of the lymphatics. When I do surgical procedure on folks, we attempt to have folks 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, for those who add that with sure issues like coolness, lots of people put their jade curler within the fridge or the freezer, then it’s also possible to assist to shrink among the pores and skin down briefly.
Once once more, we’re not speaking a couple of long-term kind of a change, however you may see some good enhancements. So, for those who’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 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. You know, Koreans have completed that kind of factor for a whole lot of years, however they’re not good. You know, for those who’ve ever been to a Korean spa, it’s not only a dry brush. They take what basically appears to be like like sandpaper they usually simply rub your physique from head to toe with it. Some folks find it irresistible, some folks 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 assume 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 believe all of these items are so foundational and vital for everybody.
I typically speak about this; the easy issues can typically be missed due to their simplicity. Even if somebody desires to do the extra superior biohacks, I all the time say get gentle dialed in first, get sleep dialed in, get diet dialed in, as a result of anything you do goes to be simpler anyway. But don’t simply leap to the costly shiny objects first, since you’re going to get a greater bang to your buck for those who do the foundational issues first. So, I might guess there’s very a lot an identical factor with regards to pores and skin remedies. But I do know that not less than from the web, I’ve seen there’s dozens not less than choices of extra superior skincare remedies folks can do both at house or in workplace. And I might love to listen to your tackle those which might be really efficient and price it or possibly any that aren’t actually value it and or possibly extra dangerous to keep away from.
Anthony: Yeah, so I imply, the very first thing is once I take a look at it’s a bang to your buck. And the issue that we’ve got in beauty medication proper now’s that there are such a lot of gadgets on the market. And the gadget corporations will promote their gadgets to shoppers attempting to type of strain medical doctors and med spots to purchase them saying, “Oh, if you use this, then you’re going to get more people in the door.” And it turns into a state of affairs the place if all you may have is a hammer, every little thing appears to be like like a nail, and it’s important to be as a client, you will need to concentrate on this.
So, for those who’re going to get a beauty therapy completed, you need to just be sure you go to a spot that has a plethora of choices obtainable for you, in order that they don’t simply select the one gadget they’ve that they use on all people. They select a tool that’s going to work greatest for you. I might begin with the fundamentals. If you’re new to the cosmic house and also you say, “Hey, look, I’ve been doing everything that you’re talking about, Dr. Youn. I’m doing the diet stuff. I’m intermittent fasting. I’m using the skincare and supplements, but I’ve got these spots that just won’t go away. And they really, I feel like I’d like to clear my skin up. What can you do that’s not going to be expensive or super painful?” First factor I might suggest can be to begin on a brightening cream. Brightening cream that comprises kojic acid, niacinamide, and/or licorice root extract. That will assist with the darkish spots from the within out. But if you wish to take that to the following degree, take into account IPL remedies, Intense Pulse Light. 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 a variety of locations have them. It’s chemical free. So, to your listeners who’re actually eager to attempt to keep away from extra chemical substances within the surroundings, that is actually simply gentle 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 a great pure brightening cream and that may actually goal these spots nicely. So that’s for spots.
If you’re in search of general simply facial rejuvenation, microneedling is a good way to try this. Microneedling, I believe, is big with autojuvenation as a result of it basically is utilizing your physique’s personal therapeutic mechanisms to truly 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 become old, they grow to be extra kinked, they usually begin to crumble 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 style. Essentially like placing these logs again tightly into that log cabin. When the therapy 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 therapy that could be very cheap in comparison with different sorts of remedies as a result of the gadget that we use to do it actually prices us possibly $3,000 or $4,000 to buy, which within the scheme of beauty medication in comparison with $200,000 for a laser just isn’t that unhealthy. 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. If you wanna take that one step additional, then you may apply PRP to the floor of your pores and skin and that comprises progress components. PRP principally, what we do is we draw your blood, we spin it down, take away the platelets, that are chock filled with your individual pure progress components. And then while 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. If 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 e book, which I need to be certain that we talked about, it’s known as Younger 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 imagine, 21-day plan in there. And so, there’s a variety of actually detailed data in there.
But I might additionally like to get your type of speedy 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 elimination since you talked about lasers are dearer. I do know there’s ache concerned with that one, good or unhealthy or detached so far as impact on the physique and what you suggest or don’t there.
Anthony: I believe that may be very useful for sure folks, particularly for those who’ve acquired points with folliculitis, for those who’ve acquired points with ingrown hairs, then that may be very useful. In basic, we suggest going to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon’s workplace, however there at the moment are at-home laser hair elimination gadgets which have grow to be 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 very well for gentle coloured hair. That’s the draw back for me.
Anthony: That is the problem, is you want pigment within the hair as a result of the precise lasers goal colours. Basically, 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 very well with gentle pores and skin, darkish hair. If you’ve acquired gentle pores and skin and light-weight hair doesn’t work as nicely, sadly. And you don’t actually have any, apart from electrolysis, there aren’t another nice choices for it sadly.
Katie: Okay, that’s what I assumed, however good to know and confirm. The subsequent semi extra controversial one I might ask about is Botox. I do know that is positively widespread amongst a variety of the age teams, not less than the people who find themselves listening. It’s one thing I’ve all the time had a variety 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 therapy within the historical past of the world. About 5 million or extra folks bear Botox yearly. You could 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. But for those who 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 for those who inject it into wrinkles, just like the entrance lens between the eyebrows, the brow, or the crow’s toes, it will probably trigger these wrinkles, basically, these muscle tissue, to then calm down 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 sorts of sicknesses. I’ve completed a variety of analysis into it. In my follow, we in all probability handled 5,000 – 10,000 folks minimal with Botox. I’ve by no means had a serious complication from it of these 5,000, 10,000 folks, not one. But 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 believe with something, it’s gonna be a threat profit evaluation. I’m not a fan of younger folks getting Botox as prophylaxis. I believe that’s loopy. There are people who find themselves encouraging that. I believe that for those who’ve acquired these traces, they actually hassle 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 seem to be an ideal thought to me. And hopefully this isn’t a pattern that’s catching on. I’ve seen folks injecting it into their lure muscle tissue to make their neck look thinner. And to me, activating a whole muscle doesn’t seem to be the most effective 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 earn cash. And so, the concept is it’s Trap 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 attempting to govern social media and their followers to get stuff that basically isn’t all that useful for them. And a part of it’s to allow them to get within the information. You know, it’s a clout factor. People are doing it for clout. And it’s unlucky. You know, it’s the identical factor with a few of them recommending like Barbie makeovers. If you do all these operations to appear like Barbie. And it’s simply because the Barbie film was so widespread.
But in the long run, 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 possibly shouldn’t have had completed. So actually all the time give it some thought. And I’m a plastic surgeon. I do a variety 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 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 folks 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 may have earlier than, throughout, after, or normally.
Anthony: So yeah, I used to be one of many first plastic surgeons to go public that I imagine breast implant sickness is actual. And I had a variety of my colleagues very offended with me. You know, I went by means of my conventional coaching and was instructed dogma in my coaching is that breast implants don’t make folks sick. And a variety of plastic surgeons appeared on the moratorium being lifted on silicone breast implants again in 2006, 2007, as being proof that implants are secure.
The reality is, while you take a look at literature exterior of the cosmetic surgery scientific literature, you take a look at the rheumatology literature, and there are positively research and surveys and case stories of people that do get sick from their implants. And while you take implants out of any person who believes they’ve breast implant sickness, about 55 to 85 p.c of them, their signs will enhance with these implants taken out. I do imagine and I do know a variety of holistic well being influencers who’ve breast implants, a few of them we’re buddies with, frequent buddies with, they usually’re wholesome with them, however that’s not all people. And I believe it’s a person course of. We must 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 instructed him I believe 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. Well, 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 believe that’s actually encouraging information. And I really like that it comes from you being able to suggest each and with the ability to do the extra superior procedures as nicely 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 may not be the reply. I really like such a balanced viewpoint. And I really like that you’ve been this voice for thus many ladies. And a few questions I like to ask for the tip of interviews. The first being if there’s a e book or variety of books which have had a profound impression on you personally, and if that’s the case, what they’re and why.
Anthony: So, I learn the e book, How Not to 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 put in writing the e book that I wrote, Younger for Life. And the explanation why I believe 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 assumed, 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 among 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 every little thing 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 little thing, to me, that was a giant deal.
Katie: I’ll embody a hyperlink to that within the present notes as nicely. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners that might be associated to the issues we’ve talked about or totally unrelated recommendation.
Anthony: Yeah, my predominant recommendation is which you can appear and feel your greatest with out going beneath the knife. If you simply stick to the ideas of autojuvenation: eating regimen, what to eat, when to eat, dietary supplements, and skincare. If you simply stick to that, you’re going to be forward of 98% of individuals. If you add a few of these different issues we talked about, crimson gentle remedy, dermaplaning, for those who take note of your sleep, the fitting sorts of train, cut back your environmental exposures, and also you’ll be even farther. So, give attention to these issues first. If you’re fascinated by cosmetic surgery, do that different stuff first earlier than you go see a plastic surgeon as a result of hopefully you could discover that by doing all this, your want to see a plastic surgeon goes away.
Katie: Well, I admire 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 suggest you guys verify that out. There’s an absolute wealth of information in there. Thank you a lot to your time. This has been such a enjoyable dialog and I’m so grateful we acquired you coming.
Anthony: Thank you a lot, Katie, admire it.
