If you want to have youthful, glowing skin, most people are turning to all these fancy lotions out
there. But there are some very specific vitamins that you need and also some cutting-edge research
on how you can have amazing-looking skin that nobody’s talking about.
Hey, Wellness Warrior, I’m Dr. Nick Zyrowski, and I started my holistic health practice
in order to help you take control of your health naturally because true health only
comes naturally. So be sure to subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell,
give this video a thumbs up, and share with me your thoughts in the comments below.
The general concept that most people have as to how they can improve their skin health
is all wrong. And when you look at some of the top skin care companies on the market,
they don’t even have anything that’s exciting to me. Because your skin is a reflection of
your bodily health, and there’s some specific vitamins that you can take,
but it even goes beyond vitamins and this is where it gets really exciting.
And I know what you’re saying to yourself, “Dr. Zyrowski,
that is a bold statement to make to say that the beauty industry has it wrong,
and the pharmaceutical industry has it wrong.” But let me give you an example.
So I have this young lady who comes in for care. When she comes in,
I just kind of chat it up with her a little bit, what do you have going on for the weekend. So
you explains to me, “Yeah, this weekend, I’m having a pool party,
but I’m kind of bummed out because I can’t go out in the sun.” And obviously,
the first question when you hear something like that is, “Well, why can’t you go out in the sun?”
Well, she goes on to tell me that she’s on some new skin medication,
and the doctor told her she couldn’t be out in the sun for long periods of time. So I say, “Well,
what kind of medication are you on?” I’m thinking young,
healthy individual; why are you on a skin medication? Turns out she’s on Accutane.
Now, when I hear Accutane, I first of all about fall over, but red flags also go off because I
never want to see one of my patients on Accutane. The side effects of this stuff are so bad.
Don’t take my word for it; let’s take a look at what it has to say about the side effects
of Accutane, the pharmaceutical solution in the beauty industry. Dry lips and mouth,
minor swelling of the eyelids or lips, crusty skin, nosebleeds, upset stomach,
ringing in the ears, thinning hair, severe headaches and vision changes, hearing loss,
chest pain, yellowing of the skin, dark urine, severe diarrhea, and rectal bleeding.
I mean, this is a young person on this. This is craziness. Oh, it even gets worse.
Birth defects. And actually they have young women go on birth control, which is going to
screw up their hormones, while taking the Accutane because of the birth defect problem it causes. And
to top it off, she has to get her liver enzymes checked on the regular because it could really
put some damage and harsh impact onto the liver. Craziness, okay?
So, look, I hate acne just as much as the next person. I don’t want it on my face especially when
I’m doing these videos; however, we have to look for real solutions and not look to these Band-Aids
that are causing harm to our body. Now, we all like to have good, healthy skin, including myself.
You can easily misjudge somebody’s age based on their skin health. You might think they’re ten
years older or ten years younger. So I want to give you some out-of-the-box concepts,
ones that you haven’t heard on repeat all over the Internet. So we’re going to kick
this off talking about some probiotics that you can use that really improve your skin health.
And I know, it sounds crazy, right? Considering we
live in a society where we think that bacteria has one purpose and that is to
destroy us. People are running around today soaking themselves with hand sanitizers,
which I will on a side note mention that will have some very long-term negative consequences.
But the fact is is that this bacteria that’s on our skin, in our sinuses, in our gut, all over
our body is referred to the microbiome, and it has some very important purposes in our overall bodily
health, especially our skin. So I’m going to give you a couple of pieces out of the research to kind
of give you an example. It can get a little bit heavy, so I don’t want to go too far in depth,
but let me explain a few of them. Let’s go ahead and take a look at what the research has to say.
We have the Lactobacillus rhamnosus first, and it’s been shown to help three different
ways with the skin. So first of all, it helps reverse atopic dermatitis which is also known
as eczema. It supports the epithelial barrier function of the skin, so the skin cell itself.
And then it supports protecting the skin from UV radiation. We hear about this all the time,
right? You go out into the sun for a long time; t’s bad for your skin. You think of people who
live in Australia, and they never use any type of sunblock and it just ages them dramatically.
So this is why this particular bacteria will promote good skin health.
Next, we have the Bifidobacterium infantus. This actually supports our GI tract, which if you have
poor gut health, you will likely have poor skin health. They always correlate. So what we want to
do is support gastrointestinal health during this time and that’s what this particular probiotic
does. And then also it helps make nascent B vitamins, which this is incredibly important
which I’ll get to more in just a moment on how B vitamins are crucial for good skin health.
Next, we’re going to have the Lactobacillus fermentum, and this one particularly is known
in the research for giving us radiant, glowing and youthful skin. I think that we all need this one,
right? Now, let’s go ahead and look at the Lactobacillus sakei, which is good for the skin
and the sinuses; the Bifidobacterium breve, which is good for helping the skin accommodate
ultraviolet radiation, okay, same thing, UV protection; and then we have the Staph
epidermidis, which has been shown to actually inhibit unhealthy species of bacteria from causing
skin problems for us. So we talked some different possible rashes, some blotches on the skin,
some of these different bacteria that specifically promote acne on the skin. So we want to make
sure that we’re getting that good bacteria on there to protect us from the bad stuff as well.
So in a nutshell, when we look at a lot of these different topical probiotics that we can use,
they’re incredible. So not only can we take probiotics orally, but we can use them
topically in order to increase our skin health. And I personally use a topical probiotic lotion
every single day for my skin because that’s how much I believe in this new cutting-edge research.
Now, there’s a whole bunch of other bacteria that I could mention,
but it can get a little bit boring. Like I said, it’s a little heavy. If you want to learn more,
I recommend you go read on it, and I’ll put a link in the description to the one that I use
on a regular basis and it has the whole list of bacteria in it and the whole list of probiotics,
and I do promise I’ll put it in the description because I know a lot of times I forget.
But remember, as I mentioned before, it’s not what you just put on your skin topically,
but it’s also what you take orally that can improve your
skin health. I have people that take some very skin-specific probiotics all the time and it’s
amazing. Overnight their skin starts to clear up. Their acne starts to lessen.
Some of the red blotching and the eczema that they had on their face starts to dissipate.
So we have to make sure that we don’t only think topically, but we also think how we can
consume these to improve our gut health which is going to improve our skin health. I’ll put,
like I said, all resources in the description for some skin-specific probiotics as well.
Now we can look to a very specific vitamin that
really helps improve our skin health, one that nobody ever thinks about. And that’s going to be
B3 in the form of nicotinamide. Now specifically, this B3 has been shown in the research to do some
pretty amazing stuff for us. First of all, it has been shown to reduce dryness, eczema,
support improving your tone and texture of your skin. It also supports reducing red spots,
lines, wrinkles and redness. So that’s B3 in the form of nicotinamide.
When we start to think of health and how there’s always this like tangled web as to
how it all goes together, remember how that one particular bacteria helps us produce
more B vitamins in our body? Well, that’s pretty important. Many people have B vitamin
deficiencies. And all B vitamins are going to be really good for skin health, but this
one particular one, B3 in the form of nicotinamide is going to be really good for improving our skin.
Now this next nutrient I want to talk about is one of my favorites because when
it comes to the most upstream thing that you can do in order to protect your skin,
in order to protect your youthfulness at a DNA level, a cellular level, it’s using this
right here. And that is Resveratrol. Now, let’s go ahead and take a look at what the
research has to say as to how it can specifically support your skin health.
First of all, it can support with UV damage, okay, it protects us from UV damage which is
something we keep seeing again and again as being very important, by the way. It fights
the process of aging in general from a DNA and cellular level as I mentioned.
It also helps improve cellular function. It helps reduce redness. It helps to brighten and even out
your skin, helps improve the texture of your skin, and then lastly,
it supports with the hydration of your skin. So Resveratrol is definitely on the top of the list.
So if we take some healthy probiotics, we get some proper B vitamins,
B3 in the form of nicotinamide, and we also take some Resveratrol,
we’re doing some incredible out-of-the-box things in order to improve our skin health.
