Are you ready for a pop quiz and a lot of insights into the complexities of acne treatment? Today, we're exposing truths, debunking myths, and sharing personal stories from our own encounters with acne medications. We unpack the allure and limitations of isotretinoin, a medication once hailed as a 'miracle drug,' detailing its wide range of potential side effects, from dryness to birth defects. Through personal clinical experiences, we discuss the gravity of choices around medication, reminding you that while isotretinoin can target acne causes like excess oil and inflammation, it may not address the root problem.

Switching gears, we also explore the multifaceted impact of birth control pills and highlight the importance of understanding bodily responses to hormonal changes. From gut health to mental well-being, we paint a holistic picture of the consequences of birth control and the concept of estrogen dominance, proving that education is pivotal!

In this episode, we discuss:

• Birth Control and Acne Medications
• Importance of Medical Supervision
• Personal Experiences with Birth Control
• Estrogen Dominance and Candida
• Regulating Detoxification Processes
• Transitioning off Birth Control
