Your acne isn't a skin problem.

It's your body's warning system telling you:

• Your diet is toxic
• Your gut is destroyed
• Your hormones are in chaos

Here's everything you need to know about acne (& how to get clearer skin): Image
1. The REAL cause of acne:

It's not:

• Genetics
• Bad luck
• Age

It's inflammation from:

• A toxic lifestyle
• Poor gut health
• Hormone chaos

Fixing the root cause will fix your skin.
2. Your gut is destroying your skin.

When your gut is messed up:

• Toxins leak into blood
• Inflammation spikes
• Hormones go crazy

The result?

Acne.

Every time.
3. Foods that are destroying your skin:

• Artificial sweeteners
• Processed sugar
• Factory dairy
• Grain oils
• Seed oils

Your grandparents didn't have acne.

Why?

They also didn't eat most of this garbage.
4. Foods that heal your skin:

These are foods like:

• Fermented foods
• Wild caught fish
• Grass-fed beef
• Pastured eggs
• Raw honey

Eating real food = real results.
5. Stop destroying your skin:

There are multiple little things in your everyday life that’s slowly destroying your skin:

• Over-washing
• Harsh chemicals
• Picking at pimples
• Touching your face
• Using garbage products

You can't heal your skin by attacking it.
6. Daily habits for clear skin:

• Stress management
• Sun exposure
• Quality sleep
• Clean water
• Gut healing

It’s simple but effective.
7. What most people do wrong:

They treat the surface…

Not the source.

You can't fix internal problems with external solutions.

Want clear skin?

Fix your insides first.
The bottom line:

Your body wants to be healthy.

Your skin wants to be clear.

But you have to give it what it needs.
What’s helped the most with your acne?

Belly fat is linked to:

• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Heart disease

After 10+ years in the gym…

Here's every tip I have to shed your belly fat:

1. Stop running if you’re overweight Image
Cardio is great for overall health & longevity. Do it for those benefits.

But if you're overweight, running is hard on your joints & the heavier you are, the worse it is.

If you want the calorie output & cardiovascular benefits of running, with less risk of injury there are plenty of lower impact alternatives.
2. Minimize alcohol.

These empty calories add up.

A few drinks can completely erase your calorie deficit for the day.

Dave Pascoe is 62 years old with the biological age of a 38-year-old.

He's reversed his biological age by nearly 24 years and outranked Bryan Johnson on the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard.

Here's how he's doing it (& what you can steal from his approach): Image
The headlines focus on his 150+ daily supplements, infrared saunas, and red light therapy.

That's the 10-20% optimization.

Here's the 80% nobody talks about:
1) Resistance Training

Pascoe strength trains 4x per week.

At 61, he's focused on preventing sarcopenia and maintaining metabolic rate.

Muscle mass decreases by approximately 1% per year after 30 if you're not lifting.

Resistance training increases your baseline metabolic rate by approximately 7-10%.

He's been fighting that decline for decades.

Weight loss = caloric deficit
Fat loss = caloric deficit + high protein
Fat loss & muscle gain = caloric deficit + high protein + lifting weights

Yet, 99% of people still get it wrong.

Here's exactly how to master all 3 (& get into the best shape of your life):
Most people only focus on the deficit.

They lose weight, but they lose muscle with it, leaving them skinny fat and with a lower metabolic rate than when they started.

The same calories that kept you in a deficit eventually become maintenance.

That's a major reason people regain weight after losing it.
1) Protein

Eating enough protein in a deficit signals your body to preserve muscle and burn fat.

Target: 0.8-1.0g per lb of your goal body weight, daily.

Protein has a 20-30% thermic effect.

Meaning your body burns significantly more calories digesting it vs carbs and fats (3-7%).

It also keeps you fuller longer.

More muscle preserved = higher metabolism = easier to stay in a deficit long-term.

Chuando Tan is 60 years old and looks better than most 30-year-olds.

How?

Here's his full anti-aging routine (actions you can steal): Image
The guy's been at this for 40+ years.

No gimmicks or shortcuts.

He just stayed consistent.

Started lifting in his 20s and never stopped.

That's the foundation everything else is built on.
1. Diet

His philosophy? 70% nutrition, 30% exercise.

Breakfast: 6 eggs (only eats 2 yolks), milk, sometimes a protein shake

Lunch: Grilled chicken with brown rice and vegetables, or fish soup

Dinner: Same deal - lean protein, vegetables, whole carbs

The pattern here?

Cardio is NOT the best way to lose weight.

Follow these 10 health rules to lose all the weight you want WITHOUT cardio:
Let me be clear:

Cardio is great for your cardiovascular health. You should do it for your heart.

But if you're overweight, it's hard on your joints.

The heavier you are, the worse it gets.

And once you get burned out or your joints are sore, the calorie burn stops completely.

For fat loss specifically, there's a better way.
1. Walk 8,000-10,000 steps daily.

This burns approximately 300-500 calories without recovery demands or joint stress.

This is NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis).

Research shows it can account for larger daily calorie burn than structured exercise.

Low impact, sustainable, and you can do it forever.
