Summary

The key to having beautiful skin is creating a healthy gut. The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and it’s all the one that receives the most abuse. From the sun’s damaging rays, to the pollution in the air and the destructive toxins we put on our skin. Dr. Trevor Holly Cates joins Dave on this episode of Bulletproof Radio to explain how a healthy gut leads to beautiful skin, why the “beauty products” that are supposed to be good for your skin can actually do more harm than good, and how to maintain and nourish the over one-thousand species of bacteria that make up a healthy skin microbiome.

If you read my anti-aging book, you know that there are seven things that cause aging in your body,

0:04.7

and one of the biggest ones you could call zombie cells. Those are cells in your body that are

0:09.6

done living, but they don't really die. They sit around, they take up resources, and they make

0:13.6

free radicals and inflammation. As you age, you get more and more zombie cells. They also cause

0:19.0

aging symptoms like less energy and longer recovery times. I've been working with my friends at

0:23.6

Neurohacker on a formula that would cause your body to eliminate those zombie cells. It's called

0:30.0

Qualia Cinelletics. It's a new kind of supplement. It's got the most powerful, herbal, and natural

0:35.4

synolytics, and it's so powerful you only take it for two days per month to turn on this cleanup

0:41.4

of your zombie cells. You don't take it every day because you don't want your body to get rid of

0:45.6

those cells every day because that would get in the way of your body's normal functioning. In

0:50.0

other words, you need to do a once a month cleaning cycle. When you check it out, you'll feel the

Two billion years ago, mitochondria took up residents in your cells, and now they're the

1:28.7

guys who decide how you feel. They sense the environment around you and they do whatever they think

1:33.2

will help your body survive. Your environment tells them what energy to create and that energy

1:39.0

drives your willpower, your thoughts, your feelings, every breath you take. Unfortunately, just about

1:45.0

every one over 40 has mitochondrial insufficiency, except maybe solve us by a hacker's. We call that

1:51.8

aging. The good news is that system is totally hackable. All you have to do is improve the signals

1:57.2

that you send to your mitochondria, which then improves how your cells make energy. That way,
