Focus: Lifestyle-first anti-aging through diet, fasting, retinol, and vitamin C, with surgery as a backstop for excess skin

Dr. Anthony Youn is a board-certified plastic surgeon and author who popularized the autojuvenation framework, which positions diet, intermittent fasting, and topical actives as the first line for slowing visible aging before surgical intervention. He runs a large social-media platform and has authored multiple books on holistic anti-aging.

Youn: A holistic approach to slowing visible skin aging
Visible skin aging is shaped more by collagen and elastin loss than by genes alone, and many of the inputs (nutrition, sleep, topicals) are within daily reach. The episode walks through a holistic framework called autojuvenation: anti-inflammatory eating, intermittent fasting, high-quality protein, and a two-minute daily routine using vitamin C in the morning and retinol in the evening. It is honest about the limits: excess skin after major weight loss usually needs surgery, and intermittent fasting does not tighten skin even if it may slow aging more broadly.
