I am 60 yrs old and have alot of damage from sun and smoking over the years...At the age of 40 yrs old I got skin cancer on my face and that was my turning point... I started protecting myself from the sun and quit smoking...So please protect yourself from sun and quit smoking while your young is the best advice I could give...

physcial protection from the Sun is better than sunscreen, if you could do both thats great. A lot of people laugh at Asian holding umbrella under the sun but it really works great, here in Singapore, China Japan and Korea people use umbrella to block sun and prevent premature aging.

I tell my patients the reason to take a high quality collagen supplement is not because it can be assimilated into the tissues but for its gut healing properties which in turn improves macro and micro nutrient absorption and decreases GI and systemic inflammation. Which has a positive effect on skin.

There's nothing to "disagree" with. Biotin triggers acne is not a true statement. I don't know why people confidently speak in these absolutes. Taking any supplement is your choice, I'm not telling anyone to take anything. Biotin or any other thing I've ingested didn't ever cause breakouts. My body doesn't work like that. If something causes acne in a small percentage of people it's not true to say it causes breakouts overall.

In my late 70s, this past month I’ve used collagen powder product as an experiment. For few years I’ve gotten subcutaneous bleeds whenever I scratched my forearms, like for insect bite. I have diabetes, never smoked (yuk), drank very little alcohol or even caffeine. Have intentionally scratched my forearm several times in the last few days and NO subcutaneous bleeds!😊🎉 So am now searching for foods to focus on instead of buying powder. I share this in hopes it might be of benefit to others. After listening more, I realize another factor is I’ve been eating a mandarin orange almost every day to help absorb iron-became anemic due to a bleed,so this is probably part of the equation.

[@janieclausen5414]

Dear Dr. Dray and followers. As a young mother (years and years ago-- in my young and stupid days-- who still suffered with acne, I was taking vitamin A supplements, hoping for some improvement. After not getting any results, I thought maybe increasing the vitamin A would certainly help. So I tripled the dose. Before long I noticed my skin looked gold-ish and I felt as if I had a bad case of the flu--but it didn't go away. I felt so sick that I finally went to the doctor. As it turned out I gave myself hepatitis from all that vitamin A, and which of course was making my liver very unhappy. I was sick and weak, and could hardly walk to the kitchen. I was sick for 5 months! I had no knowledge about stored vitamins, and what the result could be. I didn't learn that until years later. Since I had a young baby and a toddler, it was a particularly hard time. And I was also contagious, so no family or f.riends could come to help. Or even visit! Best of luck to followers of Dr. Dray. When she warns not to take a large amount of something, you must listen. A hard lesson learned, and I hope to save someone else such a result. NO fat soluable vitamin overdoses, please. (ADEK) The liver can only handle sooo much.

I was advised by Dr. Ray Strand approximately 20 years ago to add 300mg of Grapeseed Extract to my daily treatment. I have SLE, Sjogrens and Hoshimotos for over 50 years. I was also advised to eat in the manner you've encouraged. I'm lucky my mom is French and this is typical (or it used to be) the way the French eat so I've eaten very well my whole life. I quit using the grapeseed to save money and there was a significant difference. I resumed the grapeseed after 5 years and if nothing else, my joints have a slight, noticeable improvement. My physician believes I "do better than most" in managing my illness due primarily to my healthy diet. This doesn't mean I haven't experienced life-threatening episodes, but I heal and tolerate these episodes "better than most". Thanks for this video.

Collagen is taken with vitamin C and copper

A Soul food favorite GREENS (Turnip, Mustard, Collard) has always contributed to the good skin health I was fortunate to have. This dish provides vit A, folic acid, Vit C and it’s literally stewed in a bone broth (smoked ham hocks) packed with collagen which also helps improve skin, hair and nails.

What a lovely clear concise explanation of what to eat and what not to eat. Easy to understand and though I do most of what is advised I still learnt more of what not to do. Absolutely lovely presentation. Thank you

I am a raw vegan and that has done the best for my skin. Drinking fresh coconut water daily and eating lots of raw sprouted nuts. Eating plenty of sprouted greens and even adding sun fortified mushrooms, to add plenty of vitamin d2. Drinking plenty of fluids. Eating two avocados a day. Cold juicing beets a couple times a week. Cucumber juice, for digestion. Ginger juice, with orange to keep my mouth from the continuing burn of ginger juice, I eat a piece of orange right after. It’s a commitment, but worth it. I stopped eating refined sugars and lost 50 lbs in 4 months. I didn’t diet by any means, I just made some adjustments. Making sure I don’t go hungry. Feeding your body with the best foods you can. I don’t spend hundreds of dollars on skin care products. I eat well and exercise and my skin follows. Wearing SPF or protective clothing. My dad died of skin cancer so yes, I stay out of the sun as much as I can. I don’t think the sun was the only contributing factor to my fathers cancer. I think food was and stress. Sugar is so toxic. It’s in everything!!! I hope my comment helps anyone who is trying to improve their lifestyle. Stay away from restaurants, prepare your foods at home. Raw vegan, well rounded nutrition is a game changer!!!

[@tirzacunningham5813]

All very good advice. However I found I couldn't stick with raw more than 6 months. It was great in the warm months, I just couldn't stay warm in cold months.

Sockeye Salmon cooked in butter, low heat two minutes on each side is wonderful and good for your skin. Have it with asparagus for a nutritious meal.

Thanks so much for sharing! Fun collagen fact: 1/4 of the proteins in the body are collagen proteins!

Purslane is a weed in the USA but not the middle east. I hear it's the best plant source of Omega 3's. I let it grow as a living mulch in my garden. Also supposedly the pretty little herb Self Heal gives some UV protection.

Thank you Andrea, I have made a list and sticking it onto the fridge :) Could you talk about facial muscles at all? Some people are using muscle massage as a way to antiage? Thank you

Love this video! I appreciate that you inform us with evidence based research and take the time to include the references for viewers. Ive heard that credibility is the currency of social media and you consistently bring it!! Thank you Dr. Dray.

[@lovebythemoon5230]

This video was like the best Doctors visit on everything you needed broken down and to hear! Thank you so much....you not just saved skin but potentially saved lives ❤️🥰

You may appreciate "FlavCity with Bobby Parrish"'s channel then, it's what he focuses on.

You can get DHA and EPA in algae oil and it also has DPA, which is not found as much in fish oil. Also, it's sustainable and not harvested in the ocean so it doesn't have methyl-mercury.

I freaking love you for telling this it's so easy to understand even though we aren't experts on this stuff

[@deftauntie7582]

Sharing this - my plate throughout the day looks like a rainbow and I’d like to make that happen for those around me 😋🌈 Thanks doc for this content ✌️

[@krystiesolfyre5340]

Love the emphasis on total body health as opposed to just skin health! Have a beautiful day Dr. Dray! 💃

[@shannonorourke6924]

"Lookin at you, Pop Tart!" made me LOL! Dr Dray is the best! Fantastic information, well-balanced approach, and keeps the whole body/lifestyle in mind. Great stuff!

I know this is silly bc im 28 but I’ve FINALLY found motivation to eat vegetables. I hate them, always have. But if I can imagine my skin literally being healthier while I eat them (hey, whatever works, right?) then... FINE I’ll eat them. Thanks Dr. Dray :) 🥬🥦

[@joycej9415]

I love vegetables. I hope you are loving them too. I garden and grow some of mine. It is amazing how much better really fresh ones taste. Try stir frying or steaming vegetables. Good quality olive oil or Irish grass fed butter make everything taste better and are good for you too!

[@Daria-dg5el]

I have a lot of respect for you for not vilifying good quality meats as part of a health diet, given the fact that you are vegan. Vegan diet did not work for me and I get a lot of crap for it from the vegan community. thank you!

[@Kne2450]

Agreed!

[@babycakes8434]

@Daria Why it didn't work for you? Just curious. Was it because of your health? I recently became almost vegan because of my very high cholesterol. I wasn't eating that much meat or dairy before so it really sucks when your cholesterol is soo high despite of that.

[@andyanderson6522]

@@babycakes8434 veganism lacks many nutrients and does not work in cold climates

[@joycej9415]

Agreed eggs, Irish grass fed butter, and grass fed meat are healthy and eating them along with walking and lots of veggies lowered my cholesterol.

Thank you for dispelling the myth about tofu being bad for you. Besides everything you have mentioned so well for skincare, an analysis combined data from 3 large, long-term studies of survivors from both Asian and Western countries. It found that women who ate at least 10 mg of soy/day after a breast cancer diagnosis had a 25% lower risk of recurrence compared to those eating less than 4 mg/day - not to be confused with soy isolates though - those I would avoid as they are highly processed. In Asian countries as well, traditional women had so much soy that most do not have "hot flashes" in menopause. That term did not even exist in Japanese culture till Western diet came along.

[@yohancab1701]

everyone should look into seamoss for collagen and overall health, you can also use it as a face mask and toner, also look into quality purified shilajit... those 2 are arguably the two most vital foods for health

[@ms.penguin6252]

I always put you on 2x playback speed. I do this to almost every video I watch; however, I find I can absorb your knowledge more attentively this way. I think it's fun to notice how we cannot speak as fast as we can process.
