Combating common skin issues — including red skin, dryness, rashes, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads — might be easier to fix than previously thought. The answer to these problems may be in your diet, says world-renowned surgeon and health researcher Dr. Steven Gundry.
Dr. Gundry found that his patients who were struggling with skin issues were eating foods containing lectins — a type of carbohydrate-binding protein known to cause inflammation. Despite being a respected heart surgeon, Dr. Gundry knew he could help his patients overcome these skin problems.
“The problems going on with your skin are because there is a war going on inside of you,” Dr. Gundry said.
The answer, Dr. Gundry realized, was in harnessing the power of polyphenols — powerful micronutrients found in many plant-based foods that have been shown to reverse signs of acne and aging. It was time for Dr. Gundry to get to work on a polyphenol-based solution.
“The patients who come to me are those who want their skin issues to never come back,” Dr. Gundry said. “After a few weeks of nourishing their bodies with powerful polyphenols, patients saw skin problems that had troubled them since their teen years begin to fade away.”
Dr. Gundry knew he was onto something big and was eager to share it with others. Initially, this information was just shared in the medical community — and the feedback was astounding. But now it’s available in a video for people to learn how to help themselves.
