  • Summary

  • In this episode we explore how dairy products, especially casein, impact skin health. Dive deep into the science behind the connection between dairy consumption and acne. Learn how casein—a protein found in milk—triggers the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), leading to increased sebum production, inflammation, and breakouts. We'll also discuss other components in dairy that can exacerbate skin conditions and offer alternatives to casein-rich products, such as almond milk and coconut-based yogurts.
