A hard year can leave its mark on your face—and your spirit. After navigating loss, stress, and the shift into full menopause, I set a bold goal for 2026: rebuild health from the cell up and let the skin show the results. This episode lays out six priorities that work together to calm inflammation, balance hormones, and restore that clear, confident glow without needles or quick fixes.

We start with food that actually feeds skin: traditional cooking that soaks, ferments, and slow-simmers to unlock minerals and reduce anti-nutrients. I explain why I pause dairy, gluten, and sugar for acne-prone bodies, then bring them back with intention. From there, we zoom into cellular health—supporting mitochondria with hydrogen water, red light therapy, and PEMF—and how high oxidative stress shows up as breakouts, dullness, and fatigue. I share my “power hour” routine and when these tools matter most, especially through perimenopause and menopause.

Next, we move to targeted, needle-free skin strategies. I’m leaning on IPL, gentle peels, and Clear + Brilliant, plus an exciting autologous stem cell approach using hair follicles. Pair that with barrier-first skincare, smart actives like retinaldehyde or azelaic acid, and face yoga to keep expression natural and tone strong. We dig into peace as a performance enhancer: meditation, prayer, and daily bookends that raise HRV, restore sleep, and support digestion. Gentle detox remains a year-round rhythm—saunas, castor oil packs, herbal teas—especially important for “slow detoxifiers” whose skin speaks first. We round it out with smart movement: daily yoga, Pilates for strength, and nature walks for metabolism and mood.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and build a system that clears acne from the inside out, this conversation gives you a practical map and momentum for the months ahead.
