[Acne Lies] The Truth: Healing Adult Acne For Good

You’ve tried everything — spironolactone, antibiotics, endless supplements, strict diets, medical-grade skincare. And maybe they worked for a while … until they didn’t. The breakouts keep coming back, and you’re left frustrated, exhausted, and still searching for REAL answers.

In this final part of my Acne Lies series, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to heal your adult acne for good.

We’ll unpack why quick fixes always stop working, what your skin is actually trying to tell you, and how functional lab testing gives you the missing pieces of your acne puzzle.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why products, prescriptions, and supplements only provide temporary relief
The truth about “normal” bloodwork vs. functional lab testing
The two labs that change everything: HTMA and GI-Map
Why restriction isn’t the answer
How long healing really takes (and why six months will pass anyway)
The role of coaching to keep you on track when quick fixes tempt you back

Favorite Quote 🤍

“It’s not just about clear skin — it’s about not having to plan your calendar around when another breakout is going to come.”

[Acne Lies] The Lie: “You've Tried Everything to Clear Acne"

You’ve cut out dairy. Tried probiotics. Taken zinc, berberine, maybe DIM or omegas. You’ve swapped products, tracked your food, even gone gluten-free — and your acne still hasn’t budged. That doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means you’ve been solving the wrong problem.

16. Is Stress Really Causing Your Breakouts? The Truth About Cortisol & Acne

Think stress is only about late-night meltdowns or a packed calendar?

❌ Think again.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason stress is sabotaging your skin — and it’s not what you’ve been told.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

➡️ Why most women with hormonal acne aren’t dealing with high cortisol, but tanked cortisol from years of burnout

➡️ How stress wrecks your hormones, gut, and skin barrier (even if you don’t “feel” stressed)

➡️ What I discovered when I ran my own labs after being diagnosed with PCOS — and how it finally explained my breakouts

➡️ How HTMA testing reveals your body’s “stress history” and shows exactly WHY your skin isn’t healing

If you’ve tried everything — cutting out foods, expensive skincare, endless supplements — and your acne still won’t budge, this might be the missing piece you’ve been waiting for.

✨ Ready to stop guessing and finally clear your skin?

15. The #1 Personality Trait of Women Who Clear Their Acne

Have you thought about what it takes to stick it through until you get clear skin?

I want to reveal the one personality trait I see in every woman who finally clears her acne —and why it matters more than any product, diet, or supplement.

🎙️ We're talking all about:

📆 Why putting a 3–6 month deadline on your acne clearing can sabotage your results

🫷🏽 What resilience really looks like when you’re in the thick of breakouts

🪞 Why clear skin is the last sign of healing — and the surprising improvements you’ll notice first (better digestion, more energy, PMS relief, deeper sleep, and less anxiety)

🧪 How lab testing gives you the clarity and roadmap to keep going when your own trial-and-error runs out of steam

Memorable Quote:

“It wasn’t what happened on day 31 that mattered — it was how I showed up on day 40, day 60, day 90. The simple fact that I kept going is what changed everything.”
