Case Study
Wanda B. Young is a 47-year-old
white female who, over the past
ten years:
• spent $10,000 on a face lift
• spent $5,000 on liposuction
• had laser resurfacing at $2,000
• had her hair highlighted and conditioned
• had her nails done and pedicures weekly
She spares no expense to try and keep her
youthful appearance, including all of the most
expensive skin care products she can find at
department stores .
Wanda B. is not Happy
Still Wanda B. Young struggles.
Despite all she does for the outside
she looks in the mirror and still
does not have that “healthy
youthful glow.”
She seems to lose ground faster
than she can make an appointment
for a new expensive procedure!
Wanda B. is not Healthy
Wanda B. is not even trying to be healthy:
• She refuses to pay $30.00 a month on a
multivitamin
• Every Monday she starts the newest fad diet
• She smokes on occasion
• She consumes alcohol regularly
• She views a gym membership as a waste of
money
• She thinks sodas and chocolate are part of the
food pyramid
• She never wears a sunscreen and visits the
tanning bed weekly.
Wanda B. is Clueless
Unfortunately, Wanda
B. Young does not
know about
Pharmanex.
She wants to
feel like this.
She does not know
that nutrition and
lifestyle affect beauty,
youthfulness, and
well-being.
Health is more than Skin Deep
The skin is the largest organ in
the body and is of primary
importance to our survival.
It reflects to the outside the
state of health on the inside.
In fact, your skin is an outward
reflection of your inward
commitment to health.
Healthy Skin = Healthy Living
The skin
has many
important
clinical
functions
• Body temperature maintenance
• Excretion of waste and toxins
• Photochemical action promotes
the production of vitamin D
• Sensory function, pressure,
texture, temperature and pain
• Pigmentation, melanin pigments
develop to protect against UV
light damage
• First line of defense to the
outside world/pathogens
Healthy Skin = Healthy Living
• The skin reflects the
health and nutrition that
is put into the body
• All of the outside
treatments can not
make up for poor
nutrition and poor
lifestyle choices that
affect the inside

Title: A Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Trial to
Determine the Role of Green Tea Extracts in Clinical
and Histological Appearance of Photoaging Skin
Participants: 35 women
Treatment group : Green tea supplement 300mg bid
Duration: 8 weeks
Results:
Skin showed a significant
improvement in elastic
tissue content for the
green tea treated group
when compared to
placebo*

Estera™
• Hormone receptors in the skin indicate
a direct link between skin health,
appearance, and hormone balance
• Increase of androgens compared to
estrogens cause increased sebum
production
• Estrogens are correlated with brown
splotches
• Elasticity and collagen production is
linked with estrogen and genistein
Genistein Poster Presentation
NAMS Convention 2004
• Brazilian University group
• Study covered 40
postmenopausal women
consuming 40mg/day of
genistein for six months
• Biopsies of face were taken
before and after
• Participants saw a significant
increase in collagen and
elastin in facial tissue*

DHEA
• Women 25-50mg daily: Men 50-100mg daily
• JAMA 2004, Men and women, 50mg daily
for 6 months. Reduced fat around belly,
increased lean muscle mass, increased
insulin sensitivity
• MENOPAUSE 2004, Postmenopausal
women, 50mg daily, six week study.
Increasing DHEA levels revealed significant
decrease in sexual distress and significant
increase in sexual function in desire, arousal,
lubrication, satisfaction, and orgasm.
• Also studies on cardiovascular health,
immune system, bone health, emotional
outlook, and quality of life
Topical DHEA
• J Invest Dermatol. 2005 Feb
• Modulation of collagen metabolism by
topical application of DHEA to human
skin
• DHEA may be related to the process
of skin aging through the regulation
and degradation of extracelluar matrix
protein
• DHEA was applied to skin of buttocks
of 12 volunteers for 4 weeks
• DHEA increased procollagen
synthesis and inhibited collagen
degradation.
