As if it isn’t hard enough to enter adolescence with hormones, growth spurts, hair in new places and ACNE! The first question my guest, Dr. Yug Varma, was WHY!? Why does it happen and why does it coincide with adolescence?
Dr. Varma has over 10 years of microbiome research experience and
has uncovered a bacteriophage (a type of virus that infects
bacteria - literally a bacteria eater) that’s found on clear skin
but is absent on acne-infected skin. His product Phyla,
introduces the bacteriophage, to acne prone skin to eliminate
it.
I thought it was important to cover this topic because I know so
many parents worry about their kids and the social anxiety that
comes from having acne. Acne is a chronic condition that is
affecting people for longer, even into their thirties. The
traditional methods use antibacterial and antibiotics to clear the
skin but they aren’t meant for long term use, have many side
effects and kill both good and bad bacteria. Phyla, a natural
product, eliminates acne with zero side effects and without the use
of antibiotics.
In this episode, Dr. Varma and I talk about:
What causes acne (and should we squeeze that zit!)
Why do some people have acne and why some don’t
What the microbiome reveals about acne
How traditional approaches to acne treatment can cause more
harm
