Are we really supposed to be EATING our sunscreen now? Because honestly, we’re exhausted from keeping up with wellness trends, and Dr. Steven Gundry just threw the ultimate curveball into our skincare routines.
The controversial wellness guru sat down with ET and dropped what might be the most eyebrow-raising skincare advice we’ve heard all year: forget slathering that SPF on your face like a normal person—you need to be CONSUMING it. Yes, you read that right. Gundry is claiming that the real secret to that coveted celebrity glow isn’t sunscreen on your skin, but rather eating foods that act like sunscreen from the inside out. Revolutionary? Maybe. Totally unhinged? Also possibly.
But wait, there’s more! The self-proclaimed health guru also insists that making your own collagen is the ultimate power move for radiant skin. Because apparently, buying collagen supplements like the rest of us peasants isn’t trendy enough anymore. You have to literally manufacture it in your body through some mysterious wellness wizardry that only Gundry seems to fully understand.
Hollywood insiders are DIVIDED on this one. Some A-listers are already raiding their kitchens looking for “edible sunscreen,” while others are side-eyeing their dermatologists wondering if they’ve been doing it all wrong. One anonymous celebrity nutritionist told us, “This is either genius or the biggest scam since activated charcoal everything,” and honestly? Mood.
The internet is absolutely losing its mind over Gundry’s claims. TikTok wellness influencers are already filming themselves eating mysterious super-foods, claiming they’re absorbing UV protection like some kind of human photosynthesis experiment. Meanwhile, actual dermatologists are pulling their hair out trying to explain that, you know, ACTUAL sunscreen on your skin still matters.
Look, we’re all for glowing skin and feeling our best, but something about this advice feels a little too convenient for Dr. Gundry’s next book deal. Still, we can’t deny the power of a good wellness trend—even if it sounds absolutely bonkers.
What do you think? A) Dr. Gundry is a visionary wellness genius and I’m immediately changing my entire skincare routine B) This is peak wellness culture nonsense and I’m sticking with my SPF and retinol
