Episode notes
Exercise To Support NAD+ And Collagen
- Keep moving in winter: aim for regular activity plus 2–3 resistance sessions per week to support skin blood flow and NAD+ levels.
- Exercise helps deliver nutrients and stimulate collagen synthesis, improving skin structure.
Diet Directly Alters Winter Skin Biology
- Winter dietary shifts (more sugar, alcohol; less omega‑3) drive glycation, inflammaging, and slower repair.
- Supplement protein, vitamin C, zinc, and omega‑3s to sustain collagen synthesis and antioxidant defense.
Rebuild Lipids To Fix The Barrier
- Prioritize barrier lipids: use ceramides, cholesterol, and linoleic acid (vitamin F) to rebuild the stratum corneum.
- Rebuilding the lipid envelope prevents inflammation, sensitivity, and water loss in winter.
