Back to EpisodesS02 E022: Decoding The Gut-Brain-Skin Axis for Acne Relief with Dr. William Davis
Description
In this episode, we sit down with dr. William Davis, a cardiologist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Wheat Belly book series and, more recently, Super Gut. He is also Chief Medical Officer at Realize Therapeutics Corp. which he co-founded to explore the new science of the microbiome to improve health and appearance, including skin health and body composition.
Together, we explore how significant improvements in skin health and appearance are achievable by restoring specific microbes lost from the human gastrointestinal tract combined with non-microbial cofactors. We discuss how disturbances in the gut microbiome, such as SIBO, can affect everything from skin health to mental well-being and how we can change that with our dietary choices.
Dr. Davis outlines simple yet powerful strategies for dietary modifications, like incorporating more organ meats and fermented foods, which can yield transformative results. Moreover, he sheds light on contemporary issues such as the excessive use of antibiotics in treating acne and the ramifications of cesarean deliveries on the microbiomes of newborns.
Tune in to learn all about the complexities of our gut and how nurturing it can lead to a healthier, happier you!
