In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast, Mark Tager, MD shares with us the formula for healthy skin. The 60/20/20 formula covers important pillars such as diet, supplementation, and topicals. When it comes to our diet, it is responsible for about 60% of our healthy complexion. Then, 20% of our skin’s look is attributed to what Dr. Tager considers to be our personalized nutrition, which is supplementation specific to our own needs and deficiencies. Lastly, once our overall health is taken care of and we’ve done everything we can to optimize our skin from the inside, then we can look at the remaining 20% and focus on improving our skin from the outside with topicals. We also chat about senescent cells and how they relate to aging, which supplements are great to take depending on your lifestyle, and more.

Mark Tager, MD is CEO of ChangeWell Inc. He is active with a number of associations, most notably The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine where he directs practice enhancement activities. A prolific author, he has written eleven books, the latest of which is titled: Feed Your Skin.
