Introduction

This video addresses blackheads, whiteheads, and acne, focusing on addressing the root causes rather than just treating symptoms with topical creams. Dr. Berg explains that the problem isn't excessive oil production but rather the production of thicker, stickier oil. He details several factors contributing to this issue and offers dietary solutions.

Key Takeaways

• The root cause of acne isn't excessive oil, but thicker, stickier oil: Topical creams only treat symptoms.
• Five main causes of sticky oil: Hormones (high androgens, DHT), high insulin (from refined carbs and sugar), zinc deficiency (also caused by refined carbs and sugar), vitamin A deficiency, and consumption of seed oils (highly processed, pro-inflammatory).
• Seed oils are a major contributor: They remain in the body for 1.5-2 years, cause inflammation, and interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins crucial for healthy skin.
• Dietary changes are key: Reducing refined carbs, sugar, and seed oils, and increasing zinc and vitamin A intake (through grass-fed beef, lamb, wild-caught fish, sardines, shellfish, grass-fed butter, and cod liver oil) is crucial for resolving the problem.
• Avoid grain-fed animals: Meat from animals fed grains can worsen acne due to high omega-6 fatty acids.
