12. Heal Your Gut & Clear Your Acne With the GI-Map

If you’ve ever wondered why your skin is still breaking out despite eating clean, using medical-grade skincare, and cutting out everything from dairy to gluten to eggs — this episode is for you.

It’s time to stop guessing and start testing.

In this episode, I break down why poor gut health (not your hormones!) is often the real reason your skin isn’t clearing … and how the GI-Map stool test is the one test I’d run for every acne client if I could only choose one.

We’ll dive into:

• Why food sensitivities are just a symptom—not the problem

• What H. Pylori, candida, and bacterial overgrowth have to do with your acne

• Why probiotics, digestive enzymes, or Accutane won’t fix what the GI-Map can reveal

• How this one test gives you the answers behind your bloating, sugar cravings, fatigue, and flare-ups

💬 Notable Quotes:

“We’re not taught to ask: why can’t my body break this food down in the first place?”

“It starts with dairy. Then gluten. Then coffee. Then sugar. Then eggs. Suddenly, you’re rotating between 10 ‘safe’ foods, and you still don’t feel better.”

“You are not what you eat. You are what you can break down, absorb, and eliminate.”

I’ll also share how I used this test in my own journey—and why it would’ve saved me 8 months of skin stress (and thousands of dollars in skincare, peels, and elimination diets).
