Quotes
“Typically what you get is you get all of these scaly what we call papules, essentially bumps, that scatter in the areas where you tend to have a bit more sweating on your trunk. Tends to be the chest, the stomach area, the back, maybe onto the shoulders and it doesn't really go beyond that much.” [1:03]
“I try to stay away from foods that are going to spike the insulin and IGF pathway, because some of those can also trigger your oil glands to secrete more sebum, and that's going to trap more moisture than you might need.” [17:01]
