A Functional Approach to Healthy, Glowing Skin (Ft. Robyn Johnson)
About this episode
Common acne treatments just aren't cutting it. In fact, they can make acne even worse in the long term. They may help manage symptoms, but they usually aren't solving the root issues of acne.
We need to ask: why is acne happening in the first place? What does it look like to look at root causes, do lab testing, assess health history, and ultimately put together a plan that doesn't just manage acne, but solves it?
In this episode, Jordan talks with functional medicine dietician Robyn Johnson. They talk about all things acne, root causes, stress, and what it looks like to run on food as fuel instead of stress hormones.
Tune in to learn:
- Why common acne treatments aren't cutting it (or even making things worse)
- How metabolism, blood sugar, cortisol, nutrition, and detox systems play a role in acne
- Why completely removing certain foods from the diet may not be the best long-term strategy
- The 5 main root causes of acne
- The role stress plays in skin health
- Shifts to start helping your body run off of food as fuel instead of stress hormones
- The importance of minerals and how to incorporate more minerals in your diet
