When it comes to maintaining our skin health, many of us focus on what we put on our skin, rather than how we treat and nourish our bodies. But the truth is, the secret to achieving radiant, youthful skin goes beyond just topical treatment. Our guest today is here to share the inside-out approach to health that could have a significant impact on the appearance of our skin.Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Reed Davis to discuss the connection between nutrition and skin health. He shares his journey into Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) and his unique approach to treating health issues. We also cover why it’s important to focus on treating underlying causes rather than symptoms, and why detoxifying the body and maintaining a healthy microbiome are key in improving skin health.Reed Davis is the Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) and the FDN Certification Course. He has made an invaluable contribution to the health and wellness industry through FDN. He has trained thousands of practitioners worldwide in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle approaches, empowering them to help their clients reach optimal health by addressing the root causes of their health issues, rather than only their symptoms. What we discuss:[07:17] Focusing on treating underlying causes rather than symptoms[14:07] Niching is important in marketing to connect with people who have similar health problems.[20:16] Balancing hormones and reducing overproduction of oils can improve skin conditions.[26:16] Nutrition and its connection to training and skincare[32:08] Physical, chemical, and emotional stressors can have long-lasting effects on the body.[38:11] The key things to sort out for holistic health are mental/emotional, physical, and chemical stressors.[44:00] Eating according to your genetic requirements can improve your health and energy levels.[49:45] Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) focuses on personalized health and wellbeing.Key Takeaways:Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) is a holistic approach to health that takes an inside-out perspective, placing emphasis on the relationship between nutrition and skin health. It recognizes that the appearance and condition of the skin are influenced by internal factors, such as gut health and nutrient deficiencies. FDN focuses on addressing the root causes of skin issues rather than solely managing the symptoms.Physical, chemical, and emotional stressors can have profound and enduring impacts on the body. Traumatic experiences and intense physical activity can contribute to the accumulation of trauma within the body, which can have long-lasting effects. Additionally, constant exposure to external factors and toxins can also take a toll on the body's well-being. Eating according to your genetic requirements refers to following a diet that is tailored to your individual genetic makeup. The idea behind this approach is that each person's genetic composition influences how their body responds to different types of food and nutrients. By understanding your genetic requirements, you can make informed dietary choices that align with your body's specific needs. To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.comTo learn more about Reed Davis:Website: fdntraining.com/biohackingbeauty

Most of us have heard of exfoliation, and you may already be incorporating this step into your routine. But did you know that exfoliation plays a pivotal role in keeping your skin radiant and healthy? Think of exfoliation as prepping a canvas before painting. Just like you wouldn't apply fresh paint on a wall without preparing it first, you shouldn't apply skincare products on a layer of dead skin cells. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, dives into an essential step in your skincare routine: exfoliation. He covers why exfoliation is crucial for maintaining healthy skin, and the difference between chemical and mechanical exfoliation. Plus, he shares the importance of understanding the needs of your skin.What we discuss:[00:02:25] Why skin cell turnover is crucial for maintaining healthy skin [00:03:15] Chemical vs. mechanical exfoliation[00:04:08] The benefits of proper exfoliation[00:08:22] Why understanding the needs of your skin is essentialKey Takeaways:Exfoliation plays an important role in enhancing the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products. By removing the layer of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, exfoliation allows the active ingredients in skincare products to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. This means that your moisturizers, serums, and treatments can better target and address specific skin concerns, resulting in improved overall skincare results.There are two primary types of exfoliation: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical or physical exfoliation entails physically scrubbing the skin using an abrasive substance. In contrast, chemical exfoliation involves using ingredients such as acids or enzymes that dissolve the glue binding the dead skin cells together.Understanding the specific requirements of your skin is vital for effective exfoliation. Oily skin, for instance, often faces issues like excessive dead skin cells and clogged pores. Frequent exfoliation can be beneficial in maintaining a clearer complexion for oily skin types. On the other hand, dry skin may require a gentler approach to exfoliation, as it tends to be more sensitive.To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Did you know it’s possible to trick your skin into functioning like it did when it was younger?

It starts with being mindful of what you put into your body and how you move it. Drinking excessively, lack of sleep, insufficient exercise, and failure to use sunscreen can undermine the benefits of any skincare procedure. Paying attention to all these aspects forms a solid foundation for promoting healthy, radiant skin.It's essential to understand that there is a limit to how much you can engage in certain skincare procedures without causing harm to your skin. Overdoing radio frequency or microneedling can exhaust the skin and disrupt its ability to repair itself. Just like when you tear muscle fibers during a workout, it is important to give your skin time to heal.Exposing your skin to sunlight in moderation can have a positive impact on our internal clocks and sleep-wake cycles. However, when it comes to protecting the skin from damage caused by the sun, it is important to take extra precautions and use sun protection.To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.comTo learn more about Darnell Cox:Website: https://www.liveyounglifestyle.com/Instagram: @liveyounglifestyle

Most of us know that protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause premature aging, wrinkles, sun spots, and can even increase your risk of skin cancer. While wearing SPF to protect your skin from sun damage is essential, did you know that other lifestyle choices we make can add another line of defense against the harmful effects of UV rays?Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, discusses the topic of sun damage and sun protection, including why it's essential to understand how sun damage impacts our skin health. He covers the difference between UVA and UVB rays when it comes to how they impact our skin, and how the supplements we take and the foods we eat may help protect our skin from sun damage.What we discuss:[00:02:17] Understanding how sun damage impacts our skin health [00:04:34] How antioxidants protect the skin[00:06:34] Why vitamin E is crucial for skin health [00:10:02] The fundamental role of diet and hygiene in skin health and sun protection [00:14:11] Using supplements for sun protection [00:17:34] Tips for embarking on a new supplement regimen Key Takeaways:The key culprits behind sun damage are UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are primarily responsible for sunburn and direct DNA damage and reach only the outer layer of the skin. UVA rays have a longer wavelength and penetrate deeper into the skin to the dermis, causing long term damage and premature aging.Antioxidants are powerful molecules that play a vital role in protecting our skin and body from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are a byproduct of sun exposure. Antioxidants work by donating an electron and stabilizing the free radicals, which prevents them from causing a chain reaction of damage to other cells.Eating a balanced, nutrient rich, anti-inflammatory diet can greatly enhance our skin's ability to protect itself from sun damage. Fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants can provide an additional line of defense against the harmful effects of UV rays. Additionally, foods high in omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help protect the skin from sun damage. To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Skin aging is a natural process that affects everyone as they grow older, however, there are several factors that can accelerate the aging process, including cellular degeneration. Our skin is composed of various types of cells, each playing a crucial role in maintaining its health and appearance. Understanding these cellular mechanisms can help us take steps to slow down the aging process and maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare!

One effective strategy for aging skin is to mix up your skincare routine. This involves incorporating a range of products and techniques to address different concerns and adapt to the changing needs of your skin.Addressing skin concerns like creepiness requires a combination of internal and external approaches. However, in order to stimulate collagen, it is important to provide the necessary nutrients for fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production. To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.comTo learn more about Dr. Sandra Kaufmann:Website: https://kaufmannprotocol.com/Instagram: @kaufmannantiaging

Collagen is one of the most crucial proteins in our body when it comes to maintaining healthy skin.
