you can turn back the clock you can look 5 to 10 years younger naturally my goal should not be to bring my patients to the operating room it should be the opposite it should be how do I keep my patients out or plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Yun has become a social media star in his popular Tik Tok videos he talks about turning back the clock naturally and shows us how by making some simple changes in our lives we can look younger than ever before I think that sounds good to everyone Dr Anthony is joining us
this morning good morning and thank you for being with us thank you so much for having me yeah apprciate it excited to have you for this conversation okay so when we talk about looking younger there's sleep diet exercise skincare products surgery you just mentioned when it comes to looking younger though which one is the most important by far the most important is food when you look at anti-aging it's kind of like you're building a house and surgery and bow talks and all that that's like the Spire at the top of the house but the foundation
is what you eat that's definitely going to make the most impact on your skin and your overall health and aging okay so are you actually like 80 years old and you just look much younger because your diet oh you say food is the I tell my followers that yeah they say Western medicine the doctors try to get you to go and Eastern medicine your doctors try to prevent you from going um you say food is a foundation to younger and healthier skin so can you really turn back the clock on Aging naturally with skin wise
you can and it's a process I call Auto juvenation and this is the fact that your body contains massive regenerative abilities to turn back the clock naturally but the key is in order to unlock it you have to give the right tools and the right environment to do so and food is the first tool that you want to start out with nice okay so if there's foods that are good for us are there foods that can be bad for your DNA or make you look older yes and the first group of foods you want to
stay away from are ultr processed foods and these are basically foods that look nothing like their original state so there are certain uh let's say dessert uh kind of uh uh things that you can buy that are in boxes I don't want to say any brand names they're in boxes that look nothing like the plant they originated from and that's a sign that it's Ultra processed ultr processed foods are filled with free radicals these can damage the DNA of your cells and cause you to age prematurely and they're so accessible and available and everywhere so
it's it's easy to see why people kind of fall into this trap so tell us what are the simple changes we can make to turn back the clock in the new year what should we be doing so one simple thing you can do is to take a collagen supplement now collagen makes up 70 to 80% of the thickness of our skin it's the part of our skin that is nice and firm and that cause it to look youthful but we lose about 1% of the thickness of collagen every year in women after menopause it's 2%
a year and so by taking a hydrolized collagen peptide supplement there are many studies that show that it can help to improve the thickness of collagen in your your skin the second thing I would recommend would be to use a retinol moisturizer retinol cream retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and it's scientifically proven to help promote the collagen in your skin to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and to even increase the thickness of our skin which once again gets thinner as we get older okay and Dr you rud B is laughing at me
because I'm already I'm writing down everything you're saying because I'm going to go buy it but you have more advice for us in your book younger for life which I'm going to be reading tell us more about it so it's a complete step-by-step guide to turning back the clock using your natur body's own natural regenerative abilities and we focus on five things what you eat when you eat nutritional supplements skin care and non-invasive treatments so you don't have to have surgery or injections to turn back the clock naturally just focus on these things and you
can look upwards of 5 to 10 years younger and the book is available wherever books are sold uh so you can find it everywhere all right Dr Anthony y thanks so much for being here congrats on your book we're both going to read it and we're both taking notes thank you and we'll see you on Tik Tok thank you
