The Skin Health Optimization Framework is a structured approach to optimizing skin health by considering the impact of nutrition, particularly protein sources, on skin health. It involves evaluating the effects of different protein sources, such as whey protein and collagen, on acne and skin health. The framework also considers the role of hormones, particularly in women, and their interaction with protein sources.
