Takeaways
- 🔍 54% of people with acne have leaky gut syndrome, linking the two conditions closely.
- 🧩 Leaky gut syndrome occurs when tight junctions in the intestines loosen, allowing unwanted substances into the bloodstream, causing inflammation and acne.
- 🦠 Disbiosis, an imbalance of bad bacteria in the gut, can cause leaky gut syndrome. Factors include processed foods, sugars, fats, preservatives, alcohol, and antibiotics.
- 🍽️ Probiotics introduce good bacteria to the gut, while prebiotics, found in fibers from whole plant foods, feed these good bacteria.
- 😌 Emotional states, such as stress and anxiety, can negatively impact gut microbiome diversity, while positive social environments and psychological traits can improve it.
- ⚖️ Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is more prevalent in acne sufferers and can be caused by low stomach acid levels, leading to gut disbiosis and leaky gut.
- 💧 Eating protein first, waiting 30 minutes after meals before drinking fluids, and avoiding overly fatty processed foods can help maintain stomach acid levels.
- 🚫 Artificial sweeteners like Splenda can cause gut inflammation and disrupt microbiota, leading to leaky gut syndrome.
- 🌿 Herbs and plants, such as certain mushrooms and the fruit trifala, can positively affect gut microbiome by promoting good bacteria and inhibiting bad bacteria.
- 🛡️ Probiotics create a protective shield across the intestinal mucosa, reducing the risk of leaky gut. Topical probiotics can also significantly reduce acne.
Q & A
What is the connection between acne and leaky gut syndrome as mentioned in the video?
-The video states that 54% of people with acne were shown to have leaky gut syndrome. This connection is due to the fact that leaky gut allows unwanted substances like antigens, bad bacteria, and toxins to pass into the bloodstream, causing inflammation that can lead to acne.
What are tight junctions and why are they important in preventing leaky gut syndrome?
-Tight junctions are a part of the intestinal barrier made up of adjoining cells that are locked into place. They only allow good substances to pass through into the bloodstream while keeping the bad substances inside the intestines. When these tight junctions loosen, it leads to leaky gut syndrome.
What is the role of probiotics and prebiotics in maintaining gut health according to the video?
-Probiotics are good bacteria that, when consumed or supplemented, introduce beneficial bacteria into the gut. Prebiotics are fibers from whole plant foods that feed these good bacteria, allowing them to flourish and grow, thus supporting a healthy gut environment.
How does the emotional state affect the gut microbiome as discussed in the video?
-The video explains that stress and anxiety can reduce gut microbiome diversity, while favorable social environments and psychological traits like openness are associated with increased gut microbiome diversity. This suggests that reducing stress and increasing overall life satisfaction can help improve leaky gut syndrome.
What is SIBO and how is it related to acne?
-SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. The video mentions that SIBO is 10 times more prevalent in those with acne and rosacea, and correcting SIBO can lead to significant clinical improvement. SIBO is generally caused by hypochloridia, or a deficiency of stomach acid, which allows bad bacteria to overgrow in the small intestine.
What are some lifestyle and dietary recommendations to prevent low stomach acid or hypochloridia?
-The video suggests eating protein first in meals to stimulate stomach acid production, waiting 30 minutes after eating to drink fluids to avoid diluting stomach acid, eating probiotics, avoiding overly fatty processed foods, chewing more thoroughly, and having the last meal a few hours before bed to aid digestion.
Why should artificial sweeteners be avoided in relation to gut health and acne?
-The video discusses that artificial sweeteners like Splenda can cause inflammation in the gut, disrupt the gut microbiota, and contribute to the overgrowth of bad bacteria, which can lead to leaky gut and acne.
What role do certain types of mushrooms play in modulating the gut microbiota?
-The video cites a study that found mushrooms can stimulate the production of catacolamines and modulate the inflammatory response, with specific types like Shaga, turkey tail, King trumpet, Mitaki, and Lion's mane mushrooms being beneficial for the gut.
What is trifala and how does it affect the gut microbiome?
-Trifala is a fruit mentioned in the video that contains polyphenols which can modulate the human gut microbiome. It promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus while inhibiting the growth of undesirable gut microbes.
How do probiotics help in preventing leaky gut syndrome?
-Probiotics provide a protective shield across the intestinal mucosa, creating an additional barrier that helps prevent leaks in the gut barrier, which is the primary issue in leaky gut syndrome.
What is the effect of topical probiotics on acne as mentioned in the video?
-The video reports that clinical trials have shown topical probiotics can clear up acne in 50% of patients, highlighting the importance of probiotics in treating acne, both internally and externally.

Transcripts
54% of people with acne were shown to
have leaky gut syndrome so if you have
acne this video is a mustat Because by
the end of it you'll know proven methods
of getting rid of your leaky gut and
getting rid of your
[Music]
acne now I recently did a part one where
I covered the basics of leaky gut
syndrome and acne so if you haven't seen
that yet click the card in the corner of
this video or below this video in the
description and then return here because
this video is going to take a bit of a
deeper look into this okay now to
quickly recap your intestines have a
barrier or a lining of adjoining cells
locked into place with something called
tight junctions that only allow good
things to pass through them into your
bloodstream while keeping the bad things
inside of your intestines which
eventually will run all the way down and
you're going to poop out leaky gut
syndrome is when those tight junctions
loosen and allow unwanted things to pass
through like antigens bad bacteria and
toxins all into your blood and this
causes massive inflammation in the body
a whole host of other health problems
but for our Focus ultimately it causes
acne leaky gut occurs from quite a few
different factors that we're going to
dive deeper into but in part one we
found out that disbiosis or an imbalance
of having more bad bacteria than good
bacteria in the intestines which is also
called the gut can cause leaky gut
syndrome eating highly processed foods
high amounts of sugars fats
preservatives alcohol antibiotics and a
bunch of other stuff can cause that bad
back bacteria to overgrow now also to
recap from part one probiotics are good
bacteria and eating or supplementing
with them introduces that new good
bacteria into the gut or the intestines
prebiotics are the food that feed these
good bacteria so that they can flourish
and grow prebiotics are fibers from
Whole plant Foods so eating fermented
foods daily or weekly and or
supplementing probiotics adds good
bacteria to your let's call it gut Army
and then eating vegetables whole grains
fruits that kind of stuff fuels that
army so that it can grow and it can
flourish so that's all the stuff that we
talked about in part one now that we've
kind of recap that a ton of you guys
asked for a deeper look into leaky gut
syndrome and while I could probably make
about honestly 10 parts to the series
because there's so much to cover we're
going to take a deeper look so we can
learn how to get rid of leaky gut
syndrome and ultimately get rid of the
acne that comes with it now before I
just jump off the diving board into this
video I want to mention that my acne
program the acne method.com has a a
whole section dedicated to the gut as
well as a protocol that I follow in case
all the information in these videos is
overwhelming and you just want a simple
to follow plan okay now let's get into
this wrapping the head around the fact
that what we eat affects our gut
bacteria or our microbiome it just makes
sense right seems pretty obvious but
what's pretty crazy to find out is that
our emotional state affects our gut
microbiome too so reducing stress and
increasing overall satisfaction and joy
in our life is actually going to help
improve your leaky gut as well as well
check this out for example Stress and
Anxiety significantly reduce gut
microbiome diversity in addition
favorable social environments such as
higher socioeconomic status and social
integration have been linked to
increased gut microbiota diversity
furthermore psychological traits such as
openness are also associated with
increased gut microbiome diversity so
that study is basically saying that
people who are better off financially
and socially generally have less stress
right and more satisfaction those people
tend to have healthier guts obviously
we'd all be a lot less stressed if
someone just deposited a million dollars
into our bank account but that's not
going to happen right so are we screwed
no the answer to this fact is that we
need to focus on achieving long-term
goals that cause us a release of
Serotonin and ultimately satisfaction
also this shows us that prioritizing
self-care practices and things that
relieve stress into our weekly routine
is as important as eating our Prebiotic
fibers and our probiotics to me it's
crazy that that how we feel literally
affects our physical gut it makes sense
though because I can remember one year
in college when I was I think I was like
19 and I was way overloaded I was
running out of time to finish my end ofe
biology report I was Mega stressed I was
behind on literally everything and I was
also working like there's just so many
things right and I was breaking out way
more than I had the months prior so at
least in my experience this is true it's
interesting stuff now next up we got to
talk about sibo because everything we've
talked Al about up to this point is
going to be completely useless if we
have sibo which stands for small
intestinal bacterial overgrowth check
the study quote out a recent report
indicates that sibo is 10 times more
prevalent in those with acne rosacea
versus healthy controls correction of
sibo leads to marked clinical
Improvement in patients with rosacea 10
times people with acne are 10 times more
likely to have sibo yes that quote is is
about rosacea specifically but the
inflammation that's causing that rosacea
in those patients is the same exact
inflammation that causes all other forms
of acne like pimples so what's causing
sibo generally it's hypochloridia which
is just a really fancy way of saying a
deficiency of stomach acid check this
quote out in 1930 Stokes and Pillsbury
reported that a high proportion of acne
patients had hypochloridia low acidity
levels allow the relocation of colonic
bacteria to the distal part of the small
intes creating a state of gut disbiosis
and small intestine bacterial overgrowth
which causes increased intestinal
permeability and leads to skin
inflammation so even in 1930 they had
this all figured out if your stomach
acid isn't strong enough it will let
bacteria get into the intestines that
shouldn't be there leading to an
overgrowth of bad bacteria and
ultimately leading to leaky gut and acne
so how do we prevent hypoc caridia or
low stomach acid so the Cleveland Clinic
actually has a really cool article on
this and here are some of the things
that they mentioned eat protein first in
your meals because this stimulates
stomach acid production wait until 30
minutes after you finish your meal to
start drinking fluid because think about
this right if you drink a lot of water
or liquid while you're eating you're
actually diluting your stomach acid and
then a few other things eat probiotics
which we're already planning on doing
avoid overly fatty processed foods chew
more thoroughly and also enjoy your last
meal a few hours before bed so that you
have time to digest while still being
vertical before you lay down and go
horizontal okay now I'm about to tell
you a story that is really embarrassing
I don't really want to tell it but it's
the perfect story to drive home the next
point that there are things we need to
avoid like artificial sweeteners so when
I was about 16 I Lov sweets but as a new
bodybuilder I really wanted to gain
muscle but I wanted to stay lean and so
I wanted to prevent eating you know too
many extra calories so at one point I
was eating
126 servings of Splenda or sulos a week
so it should have been obvious but
picture me there in the kitchen face
literally covered in acne everywhere
five or six marble siiz sits and I'm
just pouring a box of Splenda for four
five seconds straight into a bowl of
oatmeal I was completely addicted to
Splenda but I was also super bloated
dropping these megalithic farts I was
burping like crazy I was having weird
poops so looking back it's really
obvious because hindsight's 2020 and
that's why I think it's really important
that I point things out like this but at
the time I just had no clue so check
this next study out enrichment of
bacterial pro-inflammatory genes and
disruption in fecal metabolites suggests
that 6month sucralose consumption at the
human acceptable daily intake may
increase the risk of developing tissue
inflammation by disrupting the gut
microbiota which is supported by
elevated pro-inflammatory gene
expression in the liver of sucos treated
mites okay so basically that quote says
even when you're eating the the
acceptable amount of calorie-free
artificial sweeteners like Splenda it's
causing tons of inflammation in the gut
it's helping the bad bacteria overgrow
and ultimately it's causing leaky gut so
now knowing all this I'm much more
cautious about how much of any
artificial sweetener I consume and also
I really do want to point out you do not
have to be absolutely perfect that's a
thing that I think a lot of people get
scared when they watch these kind of
videos that point things out you don't
have to be perfect but having 90% less
of something bad is 100% better than
just not changing anything at all right
and if you notice improvements in your
acne then keep it going you're slowly
uncovering your own personal makeup of
why you have acne and or leaky gut okay
so now I want to talk about some more
holistic approaches because you know us
westerners tend to dismiss the use of
herbs and specific plants but there's a
lot of science backing up how these can
improve your gut microbiome and
ultimately your leaky gut so there's
quite a few different plants and herbs
and fungi to cover but I'm going to just
quickly talk about the two most
researched right so firstly let's talk
about mushrooms this study says
mushrooms were found to modulate gut
microbiota by stimulating the production
of catacol amines their metabolites and
the inflammatory response so this study
gets really meta it gets really detailed
and ultimately gets really boring so I'm
just going to spare you all the details
the study lists these mushrooms as the
most beneficial for your gut Shaga
turkey tail King trumpet mushrooms
Mitaki mushrooms Lion's man and sh
mushrooms you probably have heard of a
couple of those because some of those
are really really yummy mushrooms that I
personally love to cook with and others
are sold in a lot of Health Products
like adaptogenic mushrooms coffee you
know might have heard of mud water or
like for sigmatic they're in those kind
of things so they aren't that hard to
include into your daily or weekly
routine now next out of the two things I
wanted to talk about is trifala which is
a fruit so check this quote out in the
study it was shown that the polyphenols
and trifala modulate the human gut
microbiome and thereby promote the
growth of beneficial bipo bacteria and
lactobacillus while inhibiting the
growth of undesirable gut microbes
that's a crazy fact so this little fruit
can directly increase the amount of good
bacteria and also at the same time
reduce the amount of bad bacteria that
is really cool it's like a like a secret
weapon last up in this video I want to
take a deeper look at why probotics are
so important cuz I did really harp on
that in the first video there's a lot of
stuff that I did not cover so first up
probiotics create a literal Shield which
helps prevent leaks listen to this
probiotics are living microorganisms
that are beneficial to the host's health
upon ingestion they provide a protective
shield across the intestinal mucosa so
this means that probotics literally
create a shield an additional barrier of
protection leaky gut syndrome is
literally a weakening of the gut barrier
so having something that creates an
additional barrier that's pretty huge
now this next study is about topical
probiotics or probiotics that you put on
your skin the crazy thing is that it
cleared up acne in 50% of the patients
clinical trials have assessed the effect
of probiotics on acne Kang at all
reported that 8 weeks of topical
enterococus falis treatment resulted in
50% reduction in inflammatory acne count
compared with the placebo I wanted to
include that quote because it just
drives home how important probotics are
on a regular schedule 50% of people saw
a massive mve reduction in their acne
after using probiotics okay so let's
stop here like I said this is just the
tip of the iceberg but this information
is so important but it's also
unfortunately so slept on I truly know
that this is helpful because I've seen
loads of people take this advice I've
seen loads of people massively improve
their acne some have even completely
eliminated it before if you look in the
comments of the previous part one you'll
see these and that's why I really wanted
to take the time to do all this research
and put it into video that is just semi
easy to digest I know it was kind of a
lot of information but if you did find
this video helpful I really appreciate
if you give it a thumbs up let me know
what you thought in the comments below
let me know what your experience has
been have you ever noticed any
difference with your acne when you're
having bad digestion when you're having
bloating gas any of that kind of stuff
of course don't forget to subscribe if
you haven't already because I'm always
releasing new and different information
about how to heal your acne and to help
improve your skin care and that is it
for this one so remember you are not
alone you are beautiful and you are part
of Team acne I'll see you skin bosses in
the very next
