68: The Seasons of Skin Care with Dr. Trevor Cates

Reset Renew Revive

On this week’s episode of Reset, Renew, Revive, I had a conversation with Dr. Trevor Cates, the best-selling author of Clean Skin From Within and founder of The Spa Doctor.

Dr. Cates became passionate about health issues after suffering from many allergic reactions as a kid including skin issues, eczema, hives, mysterious rashes and bumps. Doctors put her on medications which often caused more allergic reactions. Finally, they found a holistic practitioner who helped to turn her health around, and she pursued integrative holistic medicine as a result.

There is a definite connection between your health and your skin, especially when you take a holistic approach. When your skin erupts in some way, it’s a sign that our bodies are yelling at us, saying Pay Attention! There are root causes to skin conditions that needs to be looked at to maintain overall health.

Many hormonal changes can also surface on the skin as women get older in the form of sagging skin and muscle atrophy. There is also a connection between nutrition and inflammation on the skin, such as acne. Sugar is probably the worst thing for your skin and can actually speed up the aging process.

Speaking of nutrition, it’s important to eat foods in season because they’re more nutrient-dense, fresher, and more flavorful. And just as the seasons change, there are seasons for the skin and we should treat it differently according to higher temperatures or drier climates, to help support the right pH levels and the skin microbiome.

And last but not least, be sure to choose natural products for the skin, free of toxic ingredients and hormone-disrupting chemicals.

MEMORABLE QUOTE

“As we age, our hormones constantly change, so the hormones that we had when we were in our twenties are not the same hormones that we have in our forties and fifties. So unfortunately we sometimes see that physically on our face.”
