[Acne Lies] The Lie: “Cut Out Dairy, Gluten, Eggs, & Sugar”

This is the episode where I tell the truth I wish someone told me:

Your skin isn’t flaring because of sugar or dairy.

It’s flaring because you’re depleted.

Inside this episode, I share:

➡️ Why restrictive diets (even “anti-inflammatory” ones) are burning through your minerals

➡️ How food anxiety is putting your body into survival mode — and keeping your skin stuck

➡️ What high calcium, low potassium, and tanked sodium look like on an HTMA test

➡️ The connection between sugar cravings, fatigue, and hormonal breakouts

➡️ How PCOS symptoms, mood swings, and cystic breakouts can be rooted in mineral depletion — not food sensitivities

You’ll also hear about my client Ari, who was doing everything right — no dairy, gluten, sugar, or even avocados — and still couldn’t go out on date night without hiding behind makeup.

When we ran her HTMA test, the truth was obvious: her body wasn’t overdoing.

It was starving.

This episode will hit you hard if:

✔️ You track every bite and still feel inflamed

✔️ You avoid sugar but still crash mid-afternoon

✔️ You feel like a failure every time your skin flares after a “clean” meal

✔️ You’re scared to eat the foods you love — and tired of watching others eat freely

🎧 You don’t need more food rules. You need more minerals.

This episode will show you where to start.
