Mindsip insights from this episode:
Select vitamin E with mixed tocopherols for enhanced anti-inflammatory effects
For superior anti-inflammatory benefits, choose a vitamin E supplement with a mix of tocopherols, including delta and gamma, not just the common alpha-tocopherol.
Tailor treatments for unique skin condition causes
Ten people with the same skin condition, like psoriasis, may each have different underlying causes and require different treatments, not a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Avoid long-term antibiotic use for acne to prevent autoimmune diseases
Taking antibiotics for years to treat teenage acne can damage the gut, leading to leaky gut, dysbiosis, and autoimmune diseases later in life.
Utilize polyphenols to reduce histamine reactions
Colorful plant compounds called polyphenols can reduce allergic reactions by decreasing the expression of IgE and Toll-like receptors on mast cells, which prevents them from releasing histamine.
Utilize colostrum to reduce acne inflammation and sebum
A study showed that consuming lactoferrin-enriched milk, like colostrum, significantly reduced inflammatory acne lesions by 38% and sebum content by 31%.
Maintain vitamin D levels above 45 ng/dL for psoriasis management
For psoriasis, vitamin D levels should be above 45 ng/dL, and levels over 100 may not be harmful and could be even more protective against flare-ups.
Apply flax and borage oil to rejuvenate dry winter skin
An oil containing both flax and borage oil, such as Baren's Omega Twin, can be applied topically to effectively clear up dry winter skin.
