0:00 Introduction: How to look younger
1:46 The best anti-aging food
4:27 Collagen and anti-aging
4:52 The best anti-aging diet
Is your beauty routine actually aging you? The creams and lotions you think are helping your skin could have plastics, toxic chemicals, and hidden carcinogens. Even the products containing collagen will not be absorbed topically through the skin.
Over-cleansing and excess scrubbing destroy your skin’s microbiome. Tap water contains fluoride and chlorine, which are toxic and damaging to the skin. A filter for your shower can help.
Statins can also destroy youthful skin. They block cholesterol, which is essential for skin health and integrity.
The FDA does not do third-party testing on the chemicals in your anti-aging products. The EU has banned 1600 cosmetic ingredients, while the US has only banned 30.
The best anti-aging food is high in retinol, an essential building block for connective tissue and vital for the skin’s immune function. This anti-aging food contains copper and zinc, which support skin elasticity and healing. It’s loaded with iron, and a single serving has more anti-wrinkle and anti-aging benefits than many expensive creams.
If you haven’t guessed, grass-fed liver is the #1 anti-aging superfood! Grass-fed liver contains every cofactor and nutrient necessary for healthy, youthful skin.
Some people don’t enjoy eating liver, and if you have preexisting liver damage, you may feel tired after eating it. If this happens, try taking one beef liver capsule before bed.
Soaking liver in lemon juice can improve its taste. Many good recipes also make it more palatable. Liver pâté, grass-fed liver pills, and blending liver with ground beef can also help mask the flavor.
If you consume collagen, you need many cofactors to penetrate the skin. Liver provides all of them!
Ultraprocessed foods will make you look older! Low-fat diets can also have an aging effect on the skin. Low-fat protein and poor quality protein will help you lose weight, but won’t help you look younger.

| 0:00.0 | The number one best food for aging skin, guess what? It's not collagen. Typically what people do |
| 0:06.3 | for their skin is they use facial creams or moisturizers. They pulled up the top selling |
| 0:11.3 | facial creams for wrinkles and aging skin. I actually read the ingredients. It was shocking to me. |
| 0:18.1 | They're putting plastics, chemicals, things that cause cancer. Some of them actually |
| 0:22.9 | have collagen in these lotions. You can't put collagen topically and think it's going to be absorbed. |
| 0:29.2 | It's not. But all these other chemicals in the cream will. It goes right into the skin. It goes into |
| 0:35.0 | the bloodstream. And then it starts to build up in your liver. And now the liver has to do with it. It has to get rid of the toxicity. And then the skin, it goes into the bloodstream, and then it starts to build up in your liver. |
| 0:41.1 | And now the liver has to do with it. It has to get rid of the toxicity. And then the skin starts looking older. Another mistake is to over cleanse the skin and really scrub it too much. |
| 0:47.8 | There's a layer of microbiome that is there to protect you. So you have to be very gentle |
| 0:53.0 | about when you exfoliate the skin. |
| 0:55.9 | I just recommend that you go really light on the skin because there's all these microbes |
| 0:59.1 | on your skin that are beneficial. And when you pull those off, now we don't have the protection. |
| 1:03.3 | Of course, the water you put in your skin from the shower, fluoride and chlorine, very, very toxic, |
| 1:07.8 | very, very, harsh. So get a filter for your shower. And the last mistake, |
| 1:11.9 | when you're on a statin, I'm not telling you not to take a statin, but that blocks cholesterol. |
| 1:16.4 | Cholesterol and fat are necessary to build the skin. I just want to mention one last thing about |
| 1:22.1 | the chemicals in these lotions. You would think that the FDA does third-party testing? Absolutely not. It's an honor |
| 1:30.6 | system, so industry has to do their own testing. But with cosmetics, there's no testing. They can |
| 1:36.1 | pretty much put a lot of things in there. In fact, in the EU, they actually banned 1600 chemicals |
| 1:42.6 | and cosmetics, but in the U.S., they only ban 30. |
| 1:46.6 | All right. |
