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.
