Let's get started!

To treat your hormonal acne, we have to find out the root cause and what's causing your imbalances.

These things can be the reason for your hormonal acne:

Poor digestion/ low-quality diet

• Chronic stress (emotional and physical)

• Low quality sleep

• Physical activity level

Inhibit the ability of the liver to excrete estrogens

Xenohormones are found in:

-Car exhaust

-Almost all plastics

-Meat from conventionally-raised livestock (non-organic)- They feed them estrogenic drugs to fatten them up

-Petrochemically derived pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides

-Emulsifiers found in soaps and cosmetics

-PCDs from industrial waste

NOTE: You can absorb xenohormones by ingestion, inhalation, and direct skin contact.

• Hormone therapy (the pill)

• Poor/bad diet

• Genetic predisposition

• Consuming foods with excess hormones (non-organic meats and dairy) As you can see, there are many root causes of hormonal imbalance, most of which are related to diet, lifestyle, and emotional health.

How do you know you have a hormone imbalance?

Here is a little quiz for you, count your yess!

Do you have sleep deprivation?

Do you have mood swings?

What about sugar cravings?

Do you have problems with digestion and bloating?

Do you have difficulty losing or gaining weight?

Are you always tired?

Hairloss?

Anxiety?

Food allergies?

If you answered more than one question with yes, you might have a hormonal imbalance.

How often did you buy cream without double-checking the ingredients?

Yeah, this is what I thought. :P

Ingredients are not always useful nor healthy. That is the reason why I invited an expert for this podcast episode.

But don't worry, we also have good news! Janna is sharing really useful secrets with us :)

How you can change your breakout mindset from this :( to this :) 

Today we will talk about acne and self-esteem and what you can do today to improve your confidence and self-esteem. 

Take three steps back from the mirror and look at yourself; this is how others will see you. Focus on the positive - this will boost your confidence. And remember the only person who will see your skin as close as you see it is your partner, and if they are not happy with what they see - throw them motherfuorkers in the trash.

And in case you feel self-conscious about your acne - remember - people are always more focused on their flaws and imperfections. Nobody is thinking about yours.

Last but not least, write down what you like about yourself and focus on that - if you can't see it, let's help each other out.

Hallo und Herzlich willkommen auf Acne Adieu - dem Podcast für schöne Haut, mehr Wohlbefinden und Selbstbewusstsein.

Mein Name ist Jacky, ich bin die Gründerin von dem Gesundheitsblog FitRead & More und Flea - dem ersten online Fitness Flohmarkt und von Acne Adieu.

Hier auf diesem Podcast findest du tolle Tipps rund um das Thema Haut, Ernährung bei Akne und

Hauterkrankungen, wie zum Beispiel auch Neurodermitis und Schuppenflechte.

Als Ernährungsberaterin habe ich mich auf diese Themen spezialisiert, da ich selber unter Akne und Neurodermitis leide und weil ich in den Ernährungsberatungen mit Klienten schnell gemerkt habe, dass das ein immer größer werdendes Problem ist.

Und da komme ich ins Spiel, deine BFF wenn es um das Thema Haut und Ernährung geht.

Heute geht es um das Thema Pflege Wirkstoffe in Kosmetika, insbesondere um das Niacinamid und Vitamin C.

Du wirst heute lernen was du in deine Akne - Pflegeroutine mit aufnehmen kannst und warum du das tun solltest.

Ganz liebe Grüße und viel Spaß !
