How to cure your ACNE in 5 mins

Summary

The presenter argues that acne may be influenced by gut health, hormones, and immune function. They recommend trying dietary changes, gut-focused supplements, and gentler skin care. The video does not offer a guaranteed five-minute cure; instead, it describes a multiweek approach.

Strategies discussed

• Try a 30-day elimination period: Avoid wheat, processed sugar, and seed oils as much as possible, then observe whether your skin changes. The presenter says breakouts may appear a few days after a trigger.
• Build meals around whole foods: The presenter favors animal proteins such as steak, wild fish, and eggs (if tolerated), along with cooked vegetables, some fruit, and potatoes. They suggest moderating very high-sugar carbohydrates and limiting dairy if it seems to cause problems.
• Give dietary changes time: The presenter cautions that the first week or two may feel worse and suggests evaluating the approach after three or four weeks.
• Consider gut-focused supplements: The presenter mentions glutamine powder (about 3–4 grams in the morning), aloe vera, licorice root, NAC (800 mg daily), quercetin, vitamins C and D, magnesium, digestive enzymes before meals, and DIM for hormonal-pattern acne. They also mention electrolytes, nettle leaf, and a collagen-containing beef protein product.
• Use a gentler skin-care routine: The presenter recommends stopping harsh or drying washes, including products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, and temporarily using warm water. Raw honey is suggested as an occasional gentle cleanser or exfoliant, followed by a small amount of beef tallow as moisturizer.
• Seek further evaluation for persistent symptoms: If acne and gut symptoms continue, the presenter suggests consulting a functional medicine practitioner and considering lab tests for issues such as mold exposure or gut parasites.

Caution: These are the presenter’s recommendations, not individualized medical advice. Acne treatments and supplements can have risks or interact with medications. Consult a qualified health professional before stopping prescribed skin treatments or starting supplements.
