If Your Acne Won’t Go Away, Your Gut Might Be the Problem

13 minutes

What if your acne isn’t a skin problem, but an inflammation + gut health problem? In this video, I’m walking you through the step-by-step framework I use with clients to improve acne long-term by repairing the gut, reducing systemic inflammation, and addressing root causes like leaky gut, diet triggers, microbiome imbalance, and chronic stress.

You’ll learn:

The 3 main drivers of acne: inflammation, increased oil production (and “damaged” inflammatory fats), and bacterial imbalance (including C. acnes)

How leaky gut can increase toxins/inflammatory load and show up on your skin

The foundational lifestyle shifts that move the needle most (anti-inflammatory foods, reducing common triggers, hydration/electrolytes, and more)

Why frequent snacking can keep your gut inflamed (no “rest and digest” time)

A practical supplement toolkit that may support gut lining + inflammation (and when probiotics can backfire)

The missing piece that can override everything: stress and nervous system load

If you’ve tried everything and you’re still struggling, testing (like a GI-MAP plus labs for hormones/thyroid/liver) can help uncover what’s actually driving your acne so you’re not guessing.
