Hi everyone, Drew Proat here. Skin health has always been a passion of mine. And these days, it feels like everyone has a 12-step skin routine packed with lotions, potions, and countless products. But when it comes to anti-aging, or as I like to say, a longevity-promoting skincare routine... I'm more convinced than ever that our skin is a direct reflection of what's happening inside our bodies.
So on today's compilation episode, I'm excited to bring you excerpts from my conversations on this topic with a few people, including America's holistic plastic surgeon, Dr. Anthony Yoon, and gut health expert, Dr. Vincent Pedre. And in this episode, we dive deep into the key factors that contribute to skin aging.
So now let's turn over to my conversation with Dr. Anthony Yoon as he lays out the four key factors that contribute to skin aging from his perspective. And he also answers the question, are topical collagen creams worthwhile? Let's jump in. So let's walk through the four things that age us, starting with the basics of nutrient depletion.
Why should you care about that if you care about not only how you look, but also everything you're talking about today is also about how you feel on the inside and it's connected to your health span. So nutrient depletion, let's start with that.
So there was actually a study that looked at fruits and vegetables in the United States from the years 1950 to 1999. And it looked at their different number of different nutrients and it looked at them year by year and how much of these nutrients they basically had. And they found a statistically significant reduction in at least six different key nutrients in our produce from 1950 to 1999.
And those did include three really important ones, vitamin C,
protein and iron so we do know you know there is this claim that holistic health practitioners will make that our soil is depleted that our industrial farming practices have caused our fruits and vegetables to be less nutritious than they used to be and this is actually proof for that this was actually a scientific study that that proved that that is true and that that study ended in 1999
It's like 24 years later. So now we got to wonder just how bad is it now? So nutrient depletion is something that we are dealing with as we get older. That's one reason why I'm a big fan of supplements and supplements, something I do cover in the book. But the other thing that you have to think about is, like you mentioned before, is collagen.
So nutrient depletion is something I think that's really important. I don't have a lot of solutions for it. Really, it's going to be looking at your macronutrients. It's going to be potentially taking a multivitamin. But where you really, for me, I get into the actionable things is when you do look at collagen and how our skin does... lose collagen and the thickness of collagen.
