What's sexy about fermentation? What's not sexy about eating foods that cause stomach problems and bloating? Fermentation has been used for centuries as part of human food consumption. However, done wrong can have catastrophic consequences.
To eat out or not to eat out, that is the question. Some believe cooking from home is beneficial to your health and may improve your longevity while others may disagree. What's the right answer?

How to cure your acne with nutrition and hormone regulation
Intro/ Acne’s effects With Diet
85% of teenagers have acne
A history of moderate to severe acne is highly correlated with increased risk of breast and prostate cancer
Hormonal based and TOR
It is considered a western disease and is far less and even nonexistent in many countries, especially less industrialised
TOR activity is known to be raised with moderate amounts of dairy and any processed foods
Increased TOR is correlated to premature puberty, acne, cancer, expedited cellular aging, diabetes, alzhimer’s and more
Acne and Hormones
70% of all young adults have skin problems during puberty
Most times acne significantly improves as an adult, (over 25yrs) but 40% still are affected by it, predominantly women at 85% of them
Adult Onset in the “t-zone” of the forehead, nose and chin is a correlated sign of hormone imbalance, usually high testosterone
Same with the chin strap
During puberty, male and females get a surge in all hormones, including androgens
This stimulates sebrum in sebaceous glands, and too much accumulation causes acne
Too little causes cracked dry skin, too much can cause a hard plug around follicle to cause acne
For men, our hormones typically stabilize after puberty, women is a different story
Monthly fluctuations for 20 years, massive changes post menopause, pregnancy causes several more monthly surges.
Earmuff talk for The Mad Scientist;- premenstral acne
Women are most likely to get it in the 2nd half of their cycle
Progesterone and Oestrogen increase heavily in the first 2 weeks, and then plummet right before…”it” happens and they are at their lowest
When they drop, testosterone is actually higher than most female reproductive hormones, sebrum is still high from progesterone boost, and acne is likely
Some women find that contraceptives help via SHBG (sex-hormone binding globulin) sponges up testosterone with increases estrogens and decreases sebrum, and acne
The Gut to Skin Axis
If there is SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and the gut is inflamed, it rapidly causes systemic inflammation via inflammatory cytokines throughout the body
Skin is the largest organ of the body so no wonder it frequently gets attacked
This is leaky gut, what occurs with food sensitivites and allergies that aren’t in check, SAD diet, etc
Skin, brain fog, and bloating are the most common symptoms when there is a gut issue, and when it is the primary factor involved, going on a precise healthy lifestyle for the individual typically causes rapid changes in all 3 areas.
Dairy Acne
Research showed that dairy and sugar are among the greatest factors associated with acne. In this analysis, more people with acne consume dairy products (48.2%) compared to those who don’t (38.8%). People who regularly eat soda, pastries, chocolates and other sweets were also more likely to suffer from acne
There is also all the sugar that is in milk, as well as inflammatory for many people with sensitivities which increases acne chance
Acne is mostly a Western civilization disease with 85% of adolescents having it
Aside from a random pimple or 2, basically unheard of in eastern cultures, especially those without high glycemic packaged foods and dairy
The majority of our milk comes from pregnant cows where their hormones are even higher than normal, but then we add hormones to them to produce even more.
Appears to be a part of hormonal acne.
We aren’t cows, and we aren’t meant to be drinking milk from mothers into and beyond our 20’s anyway! Not very natural
I don’t drink human milk at this age, nor should we (colostrum is a different topic) but it would still be better as our bodies were made a little
Does Chocolate cause acne?
Apparently, yes!
A study had capsules of white chocolate, placebo, and pure cocoa powder and acne prone subjects ate 240 of them to act as a “binge”
The white chocolate group had the most increases in pimples, white/black heads
But cocoa still doubled the acne in 4 days.
Some pimple prone may get it from chocolate. Likely to decrease as we age
This study however was men only
Would there be more or less if the hormonal fluctuating women were tested?- don’t know, but we can argue about it?
Previously thought it was just the milk and sugar involved (plays a factor though)
Cutting back sugar and processed foods however, helps nearly all acne sensitive individuals due to inflammatory markers within a few months, even with severe acne
Acne and Bacteria
Drugs are the go to for the majority still in the wEstern culture, though tides are slowly changing to less invasive and damaging modalities, but are still very rampant.
Antibiotics are still the first line prescribed treatment for acne, even though it’s statistically not as effective as it was a decade ago
Due to more acne caused by hormones and diet?
Bacteria have evolved to be more drug resistant
More people have acne due to non-bacterial causes which will shift the percentage of antibiotic effective treatment
Bacteria can cause acne due to having too much “bad” or good bacteria on the skin where they cause a decrease in the breakdown of sebrum, and cause the follicle to become inflamed and create acne
Antibiotics though may inversely cause acne and other issues down the road due to killing the gut flora, causing an imbalance, and then return to systemic inflammation
Other causes?
Over washing your face
Just like how over doing hand sanitizer kills the bacteria that creates a protective barrier and can increase the risk of warts
This can deplete the protective skin barrier allowing bacteria and blockages of pores and increase acne
Skin could then try to overcompensate for depleted oils, and create more which can in turn, lead to more acne
Tea tree oil or Benyzol alcohol
These are the 2 most commonly used self care items people try for acne, and for some decent reasons, mostly due to they are the top google findings and searches for it.
There was a RCT comparing the 2
In 6 weeks with tea tree oil
40% decrease in white/black heads, 47& drop in pus filled pimples and 40% drop in red and tender acne bumps
3.5x more effective than placebo
Helps with the inflammation, but not bactericidal in pimples due to a biofilm protective layer- works in petri dish just fine….
Benzoyl peroxide- most common over the counter method, even with known side effects
May cause irritation, red itchy skin, peeling, dryness, or burning
Was about 5-15% more effective than Tea Tree oil
Barberry
I was asked about this one specifically, so here it is
Looks like an elongated cranberry
Has berberine in high amounts
43%-45% less pimples and zits in 1 month
2 tablespoons of juice a day
