Is My Acne Hormonal?
🎙 Welcome to Is My Acne Hormonal? A podcast that helps you decode your breakouts - and listen to what your body is really trying to say. I’m Krystina Dion, founder of the KD–SI™ Framework and also known as The Holistic Skin Detective. After two decades of clinical practice in my own natural skin and spa clinic, I started seeing a deeper pattern emerge - one that no product, prescription, or protocol was fully addressing. Because most acne isn’t “just hormonal.” And your skin isn’t the problem. It’s the messenger. Through the KD–SI™ lens, I help you uncover whether your acne is truly hormone-driven - or whether it’s responding to something deeper: your nervous system, your pace of life, your food environment, or the emotional load you’ve been carrying silently. This podcast is where I share what I’ve learned - from clinical work, from thousands of conversations with women, and from decades of study into what truly heals the body, from the inside out. ✨ How to Use This Podcast: To get the most from what you hear here, start by taking the KD–SI™ Skin Type Quiz. It’s free, takes just a few minutes, and will show you what your unique breakout pattern is trying to tell you - and where to begin. From there, you can listen to the episodes most aligned with your skin type, your symptoms, and your stage of life. Because your breakouts are not random. They’re part of your body’s intelligence that is calling for alignment. And when you learn how to listen - everything begins to change.
