Poor gut health symptoms include low energy and skin issues, which are often fungal-related and linked to the gut microbiome. The gut contains good and bad bacteria, with an ideal balance of about 15% bad bacteria. However, herbicides, pesticides, processed foods, and gluten can kill good bacteria, leading to an overgrowth of bad bacteria. If the liver, kidneys, and colon can't process the excess bad bacteria, it manifests through the skin. The skin reflects the health of the gut, mirroring what is consumed. Therefore, one can assess gut health by observing the skin and bowel movements.

Hybridized wheat is claimed to be a factor in skin diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, colitis, gastritis, and sinus and respiratory problems. The reason is that it created a complex gluten structure that is hard for the body to break down, causing an allergic reaction. Eating wheat in moderation may not cause problems for healthy individuals. However, overconsumption of wheat or pre-existing health conditions can exacerbate the issue.

Acne is caused by inflammation and disruption of the skin microbiome, potentially stemming from inflammation in the gut microbiome. The standard American diet is a major contributor to acne due to its high content of refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Fast food, with its hydrogenated and inflammatory vegetable oils, also exacerbates the issue. Processed, packaged foods contain chemicals harmful to the gut microbiome. Non-organic or genetically modified foods with pesticides can further disrupt the gut microbiome.

Acne may stem from gut health issues, as inflammation originates there. Increased intestinal permeability results from a weakened gut lining, which can be caused by certain foods. Gluten, a protein in wheat and rye found in baked goods, is known to weaken the gut lining. Sugar also disrupts the gut microbiome by eliminating good bacteria, enabling opportunistic bacteria to grow. This process can thin the gut lining, increasing its permeability.

The speaker discusses the skin as the largest organ of elimination and its role in getting rid of waste. They mention that certain diseases like psoriasis and eczema can affect the skin's ability to eliminate waste effectively. The speaker suggests that allergies to dairy and wheat can contribute to these skin conditions and recommends alternatives like goat milk formula and almond milk. They also mention the importance of investigating other factors like chemicals and mold in the environment. The speaker emphasizes the need to be cautious about what we put on our skin and mentions examples of people who experienced health issues due to exposure to chemicals. Finally, they briefly mention the lack of FDA regulations for baby lotion and share a recipe for homemade body butter and rice water.

When people eat dairy, lactose travels to the small intestine and is broken down by lactase into glucose and galactose, which the body uses. However, many individuals don't produce enough lactase. In these cases, undigested lactose enters the gut and ferments, leading to gas, inflammation, and skin issues. Lactose, being a sugar, also draws water from the colon through osmosis, potentially causing diarrhea.

For 23 years, dermatologists prescribed steroid creams, UV therapy, and antibiotics for eczema. When those failed, Dupixent injections were suggested. But healing naturally without drugs is possible by addressing the root cause in the gut. Chemicals in food can trigger eczema by irritating the gut lining and immune system. By changing diet, the speaker went from severe eczema to optimal health in 100 days, proving that healing without medication is achievable. Born with eczema, now free.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of allowing the skin to breathe and throw off waste. They discuss how the skin absorbs substances and caution against touching or using products that may inhibit its functions. The focus of the presentation is on two common skin diseases, psoriasis and eczema. The speaker shares stories of individuals who have successfully conquered these conditions by making dietary changes, such as avoiding dairy, wheat, refined sugar, and peanuts. They also mention the potential role of environmental factors like mold and chemicals. The speaker advises against using topical remedies and suggests using ice for relief from itching.

Today's video discusses the importance of skin health, emphasizing that skin breathes, throws off waste, and absorbs. The speaker shares stories of individuals who conquered psoriasis and eczema by addressing dietary factors like dairy, wheat, and peanuts. For babies with eczema, switching to goat milk formula and avoiding certain foods helped clear their skin. Environmental factors like mold and chemicals in the home can also contribute to skin issues. The speaker highlights the role of lifestyle in triggering skin conditions and encourages investigating all possible factors. Ice and natural remedies like coconut oil and aloe vera can provide relief for itching.

Anxiety has a direct relationship on your skin. When you are anxious or stressed, what happens is your body releases more cortisol, which is an anxiety or stress related hormone. When it does this, that means your skin cannot heal as well. Your barrier is compromised and therefore you're going to notice that you may be more susceptible to rashes, breakout, irritation. So in essence, when you're stressed out, your skin becomes much more vulnerable to eruptions, rashes, dryness, irritation. So it's important to de stress your self, manage your anxiety, get your rest, follow a good program, good routine, and keep that cortisol level under control.

Skin reactions like those typically diagnosed as hives, psoriasis, dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis may actually be caused by parasites. While hives are often treated with steroids or Benadryl, this does not address the root cause, which is parasites. Seborrheic dermatitis, characterized by white flakiness, is often attributed to fungus or bacteria, but parasites can harbor fungus and bacteria.

The most important thing is changing our diet because it's full of starch, sugar, refined oils, additives, pesticides, herbicides, emulsifiers, thickeners, additives, and sweeteners, causing inflammation. Gluten is a huge inflammatory food because of the way we change our wheat production. Dwarf wheat has way more gluten proteins, starch, and sugar, so it's more inflammatory. Heirloom gluten foods like farro, triticale, kemet, emmer wheat, einkorn wheat, and zea wheat may be better if you don't have celiac disease and may not cause the same level of inflammation. Dairy creates congestion, digestive issues, allergies, acne, and generalized inflammation. Sugar is a huge factor by its effect on laying down belly fat. Adipocytes, fat cells, produce cytokines, inflammatory molecules that create inflammation.

Mold on raw dairy is actually blue cheese. So people used to eat a lot of blue cheese. But it wasn't until they were injected with penicillin till they stopped eating as much blue cheese as they once did. Because the mold in the blue cheese pulls heavy metals out of their body. There's a great book called the peanut allergy epidemic, which is a deep dive, and you can kind of figure out where the peanut allergy came from, you know, the latex allergy, the shellfish allergy, you know, all these different allergies, they're coming from the injections. And now we have people with tick allergies. Now we have people with meat allergies. Now we have people with egg allergies, dairy allergies. You kinda see what's going on there? And guess who sells the EpiPen? The same people who created those injections that they were putting into the people.

When dealing with eczema, consider the health of your liver. Focus on avoiding alcohol, caffeine, processed sugar, dairy, wheat, and processed foods. Opt for whole foods to support your liver's cleansing function and overall health.

The rapid increase in autoimmune conditions and allergies is unlikely due to human genetics, which change over long periods. People with these conditions often have dysbiosis, a dysregulation of gut health characterized by reduced diversity, fewer healthful microbes, and more pathogenic microbes. While a causal relationship hasn't been established for all autoimmune conditions, mechanisms exist. Dysbiosis leads to a breakdown of the mucosal layer and separation of endothelial cells, which are held together by tight junctions. Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid, helps maintain these tight junctions. The breakdown allows molecules, like bacterial endotoxins, to flow from the gut into the bloodstream, revving up the immune system. Increased inflammation leads to oxidative stress, causing DNA damage and accelerating tissue aging.

If you have psoriasis, it's not just a skin problem, but a gut issue. Psoriasis is linked to an imbalanced immune system, often caused by gut problems like leaky gut or dysbiosis. Creams provide temporary relief, but to heal psoriasis, you must address the root cause in the gut by identifying triggers, removing them, and improving gut health with nutrition and supplements. Focus on healing your belly to heal your skin. Seek guidance from a functional medicine provider for support in this journey.

A mother with a baby suffering from eczema was advised to stop consuming dairy, wheat, oats, and peanuts. After two months, the baby's eczema cleared up. Some babies with eczema also showed improvement when switched from cow's milk formula to goat's milk formula. Another woman's 12-month-old son had eczema, and a pediatrician recommended eliminating certain foods. This shows that some doctors are investigating and addressing the role of food in skin conditions. Doctor Robert Thompson, author of "The Calcium Lie," almost left medicine due to the lack of progress in this area.

Traditional cheese has few ingredients: milk, salt, starter culture, and animal rennet. Today, 90% of cheese contains FPC, a genetically modified version of animal rennet made by Pfizer. FPC rennet is labeled as generally recognized as safe, so Pfizer doesn't have to label these products as genetically modified. FPCs contain biotoxins from the genetically modified hosts, like mold or fungus cultured in the lab. A small amount of these toxins end up in the final cheese product, causing allergic reactions, digestive issues, or respiratory problems. People may think they can't digest cheese, but it could be the microorganism residue causing the allergic response and irritating your gut. Avoid these cheeses and look for genetically modified rennet. Get them out of your diet, and share this information.

The most important thing is changing our diet, which is currently high in starch, sugar, and refined oils, and full of additives, pesticides, herbicides, emulsifiers, thickeners, and sweeteners, causing inflammation. Gluten is a huge inflammatory food because of changes in wheat production. Dwarf wheat in America has more gluten proteins, starch, and sugar, making it more inflammatory. Heirloom gluten foods like Barrow, Triticale, Kemet, Emmerweed, Einkornweed, and Zayo wheat may be better if you don't have celiac disease. Dairy is another big inflammatory food, creating congestion, digestive issues, allergies, acne, and generalized inflammation. Sugar is also a huge factor because it causes belly fat. Adipocytes, or fat cells, produce cytokines, inflammatory molecules that create inflammation.

Remember to use ice after sun exposure, especially for those with light skin to avoid worsening eczema. Avoid wheat, dairy, oats, refined sugar, and peanuts due to potential mold contamination. Use biodegradable laundry detergent, wash clothes in natural fibers like cotton, silk, and wool, and sun dry them. Aim for 8 hours of sleep for adults, 10 for children, with a light dinner and no technology before bed. Opt for swimming in saltwater for exercise, or use an exercise bike. Consider alternative grains like millet, quinoa, buckwheat, and rice in your diet.

Matt explains herpes as a lack of collagen. “Herpes is just lack of collagen. It’s a frequency of lack of collagen.” He says when you are missing collagen in your body, you develop open wounds. He extends this to eczema and shingles, stating they are also “lack of collagen,” and that when two people are making friction, they may develop herpes if they don’t have enough collagen; it could also be winter and they haven’t had enough sun, causing their skin “to rip apart.” He notes that many people get herpes on the lips because “your lips are ripping apart. You have no collagen inside the body.” He summarizes that herpes is not contagious in the way it’s often described. Regarding what to do for collagen, he lists several items: “pearl powder,” dragon’s blood, raw cream, and raw butter. He emphasizes bringing fats into the body, saying, “you need fats. That’s it. And if you don’t have fat, your skin rips apart.” He reiterates that eczema is really just skin ripping apart, or from another angle, the body purging toxins and selecting that area to purge those toxins. When someone asks about raw meat, he confirms it as well, stating, “Yes, of course. You can do raw meat with the fat on there. Very good too as well.” In summary, Matt posits that herpes, eczema, and shingles all stem from a deficiency of collagen, leading to skin that rips and open wounds. He ties recurrences to friction, sun exposure, and lack of collagen, particularly on the lips. For remedies, he advocates increasing collagen-supporting inputs through substances like pearl powder, dragon’s blood, raw cream, raw butter, and dietary fats, including raw meat with fat. He characterizes eczema as skin ripping or toxin purging, depending on the perspective.

A gluten-heavy diet can cause more than just digestive problems. Four potential side effects of gluten sensitivity include brain fog, which manifests as problems with memory or concentration. Joint pain can also occur, as high amounts of gluten are pro-inflammatory and often cause joint stiffness and pain. Skin issues, such as hives or eczema, can develop in people with gluten sensitivity. Finally, mood changes, including increases in anxiety, depression, irritability, or mood swings, may occur. Cutting back on gluten may alleviate these side effects.

Doctor Holland and Fasano at Harvard published a study that shows when humans eat wheat, every human that eats wheat, not just the celiacs, but every human that eats wheat gets tears in the inside lining of the gut every time they're going to disease. There’s a barrier between your bloodstream and your intestines called your gut lining, and your gut lining has microscopic holes in it. Over time, if somebody has intestinal inflammation, large holes open up in your gut lining. Some cells turn over very quickly; the inside lining of the gut has a new lining every three to seven days. So you had toast for breakfast, it heals; you have a sandwich for lunch, it heals; pasta for dinner, it heals; croutons on your salad, it heals; a cookie, but it heals day after week, after month, after year, after year, after year, until one day you don’t heal anymore. When you don’t heal, that’s pathogenic intestinal permeability, and these tears can occur and stay torn when you lose tolerance. You don’t heal anymore, whether you’re two years old, 22, or 72, it just depends on when you cross that threshold as to when this happens, but it happens. What can happen now is undigested food particles such as gluten, casein, toxins, bad bacteria, candida can leak from the intestines into the bloodstream. Your body says those shouldn’t be here. It starts this immune response, and if that isn’t corrected over time, it can start autoimmune disease, and systemic inflammation can affect the joints causing rheumatoid arthritis; it can affect the thyroid causing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; it can affect the colon causing things like Crohn’s disease or the muscles causing fibromyalgia. So really all autoimmune disease is first caused by leaky gut. It starts in the gut lining. The biggest factors causing this gut reaction are: certain foods, refined grain products; sugar is a big one because sugar feeds candida and yeast in your body, which causes this issue. Genetically modified organisms are wired with pesticides and viruses, which kill off beneficial microbes in the gut, causing leaky gut and autoimmune disease. Also looking at hydrogenated oils; artificial sweeteners are a big one—all of these things contribute to leaky gut. So if you have any inflammatory condition or really any chronic condition, gluten should be at the top of your list in thinking about why, whether it’s an autoimmune disease, digestive disorders, depression, neurologic issues; many of these things are driven through gluten, and by doing an elimination diet you can often see the impact. We’ve seen athletes like Djokovic, who’s actually selling his career by removing inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy and sugar, and seeing him go from near the bottom of the pile of professional tennis players to number one and unbeatable.
