Hormonal fluctuations are what are sort of driving that. But some people get cystic acne, and that's actually an inflammatory condition. And acne is driven by the skin microbiome. This is the reason why many of the treatments that a dermatologist provides are antibiotics. And some of those antibiotics are antibiotics that are taken by mouth.

if you think about the effect that that then has on the skin. On the flip side of this, when we clean up our diet, you can have profoundly better skin. And some of the strategies that I see being helpful, of course, increasing the plant-based foods in our diet, which have the fiber, but also many people who have acne issues, when they reduce or eliminate dairy, they see improvements.

Yeah. So acne, but also psoriasis and eczema are all skin health conditions that the gut microbiome has been damaged. You know, quick story that's interesting. So I have four kids. My son, I have three girls and then I have one son. My son is eight. When he was really young, he had horrible eczema. Like I'm talking about, you know, three to six months old. He had horrible eczema.

And we tried, you know, I'm a medical doctor, and I was trying all the stuff. And he was also breastfed, so it wasn't that. And we tried everything we could. We couldn't get it better. And then we put him on a probiotic. And, like, literally within two days, the eczema cleared up. And then my wife, I forget what, I think she, you know, went away for a weekend.

She had something else that she had to do. So, you know, I was holding down the fort with Lee and my son, and I dropped the ball and didn't give him his probiotic. Eczema came back. My wife gets home. She says, oh, you didn't give him the probiotic. She starts giving it to him, and two days later, it's gone again.

And I think that I'm really glad that we got to talk about the impact of trauma. And what I want to say though, real quick, is that all these things that we talked about, they're all important. Food, sleep, exercise, dealing with trauma. But let me put this out there too. Not everyone has trauma that needs to be healed. But what we do all need is we need human connection.

And we're suffering through a crisis of loneliness right now. And the reason why is because there is zero connection value from your devices, even when you are talking to another human. You get nothing from it. You need to actually sit down and connect with a person. And keep in mind, we talked in the beginning about like that we are tribal origins.

Consider the fact that connection was not this superficial thing. I mean, I realized that like we both have social media accounts with a large number of followers, right? And I appreciate these people, but that doesn't empower me. That doesn't charge me up in the way that a connection with one person really is capable of doing.
