I hope Dr. Chutkan does have a podcast in the near future!

[@RabiesMoose]

Gutbliss podcast?

[@Grybyx]

My psoriasis has cleared up radically, just remnents remain I'm about 93% wfpb, just take a little fish each day and an occasional egg. Weight down from 92 kg to 77 kg and I feel amazing. The amazing thing is I'm doing half the exercise I were doing at the heavier weight. Have noticed that the small painful pimples on the side of my nose have disappeared as a bonus!

[@osnatshaibe1534]

Absolutely great episode . Thank you 👍

[@TheHouseofFruits]

add acne until I switched to a strictly whole food plant based diet. Chocolate is still a trigger but cocoa nibs are fine. I have them daily when I can get my hand on them. Right now, there is a world wide shortage apparently.

[@brendafarris7350]

Very informative

[@chiyerano]

Oh dear, I just got some sorbet containing 'natural flavoring' and 'natural coloring' that listed things like beet juice and turmeric among other ingredients like coconut oil and I also have some Doritos sweet chili variety which I eat very sparingly. Glad Dr. Chutkan discussed the oil issue. As for chocolates, even some of the dark chocolates contain dairy as well as sugar so I am careful to stay away from those. I used to have some bad skin rashes and acne during my adolescence and early 20's. Happy to say I don't have this problem now. I now focus on protecting my skin from the sun as well as eating a lot more plants like carrots and sweet potatoes and broccoli with kale.

at 67 I still have chronic acne and have been vegan for 5 years,there something I’m missing

[@lizhall2961]

Sometimes a B12 or vitamin D deficiency can trigger acne. So get your B12, MMA, D, and blood glucose tested. Several endocrine conditions can cause acne in our older years. So you may need to explore that avenue.

[@kj_H65f]

Do you eat processed foods or added sugar? Vegan isn't much info on diet tbh

[@Anne-ub1nq]

I'm a vegan, off and on WFPB to be honest. I've had Rosacea since I turned 18, and I'm now 31 and it's progressed quite a bit sadly. I've been hoping for so long for us to have more studies or information on how to use diet to help improve Rosacea specifically. I will say when I'm WFPB and avoiding the Rosacea triggers for a month or two, my Rosacea improves insanely! I just need to be better about avoiding vegan restaurant foods so I can fully allow it to heal better. I'm hoping if I eat WFPB for long enough that I'll be able to eat the healthy Rosacea triggers foods again without any issues. Tomatoes, Coffee, Garlic, Cacao and Spicy Peppers are so healthy. I hope I'll be able to eat them again.

[@brendapeter446]

Dr. Goldner's protocol of hyper-nourishing can be helpful.

[@SincerelyShireen]

I guess she's not Vegan bringing up Bee food (honey).

[@RoxinaSolerGamborena]

Another great episode, thanks! Like very much the remark about selling magic powders as miracle-drinks after a health pep talk- don't trust it :). I just subscribed to her chanel, but can't find the list with chemicals in dermatological products to avoid, or the home made hydration cream based on manuka honey; can someone share that link?

[@LogicsFirst]

One hour long talk without a single slideshow.

[@irradiated_woman8016]

It's a podcast...?

[@LogicsFirst]

@@irradiated_woman8016 A podcast is 30 min long, this is a long lecture under the pretense of podcast.
