Speaker 2 (00:31):
Are you an adult fighting the wrinkles and the acne
still or maybe you have some girls or boys that
are teenagers that the bumps are just keeping them from
wanting to go to school. This was me, for my
kids and for myself. Welcome to Accelerated Health with Sarah Banta,
where I cut through the noise and fast track your
journey to better health. I'm your host, CEO and founder
(00:53):
of Accelerated Health Products and certified by the National Association
of Nutritional Professionals, and I'm here to share are the
latest on supplements, wellness hacks, and natural health solutions that
actually work, from boosting energy to detoxing new balancing hormones
and everything in between. So let's dive in. This is
one of those topics that hits home so deeply because
(01:18):
it was me, it was my children, and of course
my husband never had a ZiT in his life, but
he had egzema and all of the other issues. So
when you're talking about skin, we've got it here and
we've gone through the ring. And I'm so excited to
have Katie Stuart here. She's a leading holistic nutritionist in
(01:39):
the Coast of the number one nutrition podcast on Apple,
The Clear Skin Chronicle. She's also the creator of the
Clear Skin Solution, a renowned program that helps women finally
get to the root of their breakouts. I wish I
knew this when I was a teenager. Katie, how are
you today?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm good, Thank you. I know so many always say
I knew this twenty thirty years ago. And we actually
just renamed our podcast this month, so we just renamed
to keep it clear. So if you get a little confusion,
that's why.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Okay, well there we go. We want it clear, whatever
it is, we want clear skin. So you know, I'm
assuming that you have a pained to purpose story and
that there's a reason that you are doing what you're
doing and so passionate about it.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I don't think i've met a health practitioner in whether
you're a nutritionist or anything really where you didn't have
a story of what drove you here. I don't think
i've ever met somebody that was like, no, I just
thought this was a cool career to have. So for me,
my former career is I worked in television. I spent
fourteen years working behind the scenes of Hockey Night in Canada.
If you're not from Canada, that's our version of Sunday
Night Football. It's the biggest national broadcast across the country.
(02:47):
I was also working as an on air videographer and
location host for local cable stations, so my face was
on an HD camera every day. Then I was going
to a Hockey Night and I was working with celebrities,
NHL players, alumni, executives, like really big name people. And
in this was about my early twenties and I had
come off of the birth control pill. To take the
iued my girlfriend was like, oh my gosh, it's way better.
(03:09):
You don't have to take a pill. You just you
get the ied within a few weeks, my perfectly clear skin.
But I'd been on the birth control since I was
about fourteen, so I'm assuming that helped. My skin started
to get this very fine braille like acne on my forehead,
my temples, the tops of my cheeks, like the goateea
line area as well, and I went back to my
doctor and said, hey, U switching around my birth control
(03:30):
like it's it's making my skin break out. And she said, Katie,
there is no way changing your birth control around has
anything to do with your skin. You just need this topical,
this medicated, this antibiotic. And I said, no, this is
the only thing we've changed. And I didn't know anything
back then, so I'm really surprised at myself for saying no, no, no,
take it out. So I took the idea out, went
back on the birth control pill, and then my skin
(03:51):
got worse. So now I'm dealing with systic acne, cheeks,
jawling chin, backs of shoulders, my upper back. It was
really really impacting my confidence at work because when you're
working in television, you know it is a very visual
medium and appearance really matters. So I felt so self conscious.
I was always wearing heavy TV makeup. I would even
go to hot yoga like this, and I had no
idea that my skin was anything. I just thought I
(04:13):
hadn't found the right cleanser, I hadn't found the right
medication yet. I spent thousands of dollars trying to figure
it out at the same time, I had been assigned
to work on a gluten free cooking show. I had
never heard of gluten in my life. This was like
twenty eleven, so it wasn't a thing yet, and I
remember thinking this, lady's nuts. There's no way that removing
my favorite foods is going to make a difference in
how I feel like or you're you crazy? So I
(04:34):
said to well not, let me give it a try,
and my bloating went down. My lifelong migraines i'd had
since a child that I was taking a prescription medication
went away. Ended up discovering its celiac through this process,
and still I wasn't making connection between my skin and
what was going on inside. I ended up going back
to school to study nutrition because I was really interested
in after figuring this out. In my very first textbook,
(04:55):
there was a paragraph on how the birth control pill
impacts acne in your skin and your hormones, and I thought, oh,
my gosh, what.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Do you mean.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Nobody, none of the doctor's ever told me this. So
that's when I really began to obsess over all things
acne and internal health, and that's really what led me
to develop my five acne clear and Pillar system that
we now have taught to thousands of clients all over
the world.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Well, I'm just a personal story on me and my
whole family. Like I said, I'm not lying. My husband
hasn't had a ZiT in his life. And it's always
so funny because when my kids would go through their
acne issues, don't talk to your mom, talk to me.
I'm the one with good skin. I know how to
pick zits. And I said, you've never had one in
(05:39):
your life, So how would you be the person to
go to You have eggzema and dry skin and you
have a whole different issue. Now maybe systemically coming from
the same root cause, but it's it's expressing itself differently.
I had acne as a child. The birth control was
(05:59):
a solution for me. I was also put on a
low dose antibiotic that you could take forever. Sarah over you. Yeah,
that doesn't that didn't affect my right. So yeah, maybe
that was the root cause of all of my gut
issues that I've had. And then all three of my
(06:19):
kids different profiles of what their skin looked like, but
whole teenage actme issues and you know, certain things worked
for some of them and not for the others. And
diet is huge, diet stress hormones, all of these things.
Fast forward to just a year ago, where my liver
(06:42):
was overloaded, My enzymes were through the roof. I was
fighting parasites, a bad supplement that was toxic to my liver, shingles,
and a whole bunch of other things, and I was
having skin breakouts. Now it wasn't act me on my face,
but my skin was expressing these things saying, hey, talks
(07:02):
an overload for my liver. I can't do the job myself.
I need to get it out of my skin. And
that's something I want to make sure we touch on,
is the connection between the liver and the skin as well.
So I'm ready to dive in. Okay, is really causing acne?
And is it just a surface issue? Obviously not? But
(07:26):
where is it coming from? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I think that's one of the biggest myths is that
acne is just a topical problem, But in fact it's
an external symptom of an internal issue, just like your
husband's egzema. Wise, it was something internal going on. It's
and I always like to say that you and your
skin and your bowel movements are two of the biggest
windows into what's happening in your body. So if something
is happening topically, you know there's something off inside. So
(07:48):
when we work with our clients, I like to say, well,
there isn't one single root cause causing everybody's acne because
we're all so different, so unique. So when we're really
looking at it, I like to look at what I
call the five acne killing pillars gut health, detoxication, hormones,
nervous system, and nourishing skincare, And underneath each one of
those pillars is very different imbalances that could be driving
(08:10):
your acne. So while there might be two people that
have gut issues, their gut issues might be different, or
one client's dealing with, say candida, and the other one
has h pylori and low stomach acid, but they're still
presenting with the same symptom as acne. So this is
why we're so so big on functional medicine testing, which
is different than the standard blood labs you get from
your medical doctor. They're going to be more comprehensive and
(08:31):
looking at those imbalances. So when we look at gut health,
I know it's such a trendy term people like, oh,
I'm working in my gut health. I take a probiotic
and I drink kampucha and that's all I need to do.
And I say, okay, And we need to know what's
happening in your gut because our gut. Do we have
leaky gut? Are we dealing with low stomach acid? Do
we have an overgrowth of candida or bacteria? We have
(08:52):
an overgrowth of a strap or staff? Are we dealing
with low stomach acid? Do we have lingering infections like
h pylori? How are we dig rusting our food or
are we able to break our fats down? How are
pancreatic enzymes. There's so much more involved in the gut
than just taking a probiotic. Then, if we move into
the detoxification, which you touched on syrup is it's really
(09:13):
really important to be looking at the functioning of our
detox organs. Remember, our skin is our largest organ of detoxification.
So if the livers struggling, the kidneys, the limph everything
else is struggling, they're gonna be like, hey, skin, I
need you to like kind of start pulling your weight here.
We're going to send you a bunch of stuff, get
rid of it for us, and it's like, okay, cool.
That inflames the pores and leads to breakouts. So we
(09:33):
need to be looking, you know, further upstream and see, like,
what's really happening. How are liver pathways working, How are
we methylating, How is our lymphatic fluid, How are our
kidneys functioning? You know, how well is our colon effectively
getting stool outside of the body. These are all really
really important questions to ask.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, and you know, it's funny when you talk about gut,
you'll say to somebody, well, they'll say, I don't have
leaky gut. I have no issues. I'm not constant to
paint it or bloated. Well, you still could have leaky gut,
and it's manifesting in something else. Right, most people have
leaky gut. And now with all of the threats and
the toxins and everything that we're going through and being
(10:14):
exposed to, it is we're salmon swimming upstream with all
of this. My youngest daughter used to eat super clean
in my house, right, and now she's a freshman in
college where the food is out of her control mostly
And of course, first month of school, her skin flared
up and it was like black and white, and she
(10:35):
was doing everything she could to make all the right decisions.
And still so it is truly a window into what's
going on internally and detoxification. I love that you mentioned poop, yes,
because people think that, oh, well, I go to the
bathroom every three days, that's normal for me. That's not normal.
(10:58):
Think about a baby, right, they eat, they poop, They eat,
they poop, that is what you want to do, otherwise
you're recycling those toxins.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And I think it's because we didn't grow up talking
about this thing, right, especially if you're millennial or older,
you didn't really learn these things. I think the new
generations have access to social media that they learn, but
for our generations, we weren't taught these things. You never
talked about like bowel movements at school or at the
dinner table or at a like a party that you're at,
So you never grew up knowing what a healthy bower
(11:26):
movement looks like. And we're supposed to be having one
to three bowel movements every single day. And some people
even think, oh, well, go to the I go every day.
But then we have to think, Okay, are you straining?
Is there undigested food in the stool? Is it taking
a long time to pass? You know? Is there any blood?
Is there mucus? Like, there's so many additional things to
consider that even if you are having a bower movement
every single day, you could still be consipated, or you
(11:48):
could be dealing with diarrhea. And if we aren't getting
that stool out, so we're dealing with constipation. You're exactly right, Sarahs.
We're going to have those toxins and hormones like estrogen
we're trying to get rid of end up back in circulation,
which is increasing our toxic load, our inflammation in our body,
more hormonal imbalances. And then on the other hand, if
we're dealing with diarrhea, that means we're going to be
(12:09):
malnourished because the food is moving through our system way
way too quickly, and we're not able to deserve all
of those wonderful nutrients that the food has to offer.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Right, and our food has very little nutrients today compared
to fifty years ago, So we need every single little
bit of nutrient that we are taking in. So I
want to I want to dive a little more into
the microbiome and the gut because you know, kombucha, covida,
sauer kraut, all of these things could be actually fuel
(12:40):
to the fire, for sure, they could They could be
making things worse.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I know, I know. That's the thing is again, when
gut health became so trendy, that's like probotic rich foods
and sauer kraut and kombucha and kiefer and all of
these different things. They can't be great in the right circumstance.
So for you know, a good handful of our acne
suffers they're actually dealing with the hiss intolerance that they
have no idea, and a histamine tolerance can really go
(13:05):
hidden for a very long period of time. And if
you're dealing with histamine, fermented foods are not going to
be your friend at all. So it is just pouring
fuel on the fire. So it really does come down
to that individual, individualized approach of what is happening in
your body, because when it comes to acne, there is
not one blanket, one size fits all approach.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, and histamine has become a lot worse. I don't
know if you've seen the same thing since the pandemic,
the spike protein has actually triggered histamine response to increase,
even in those people that didn't have an issue before.
So you might be having flare ups and you're thinking,
I don't know where this has come from because I've
(13:44):
never dealt with this before. So we are in a
new reality and it's going to affect our internal health,
our unexplained weight gain, our unexplained inflammation, and our unexplained
skin breakouts.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah. Absolutely, So how.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Does acne or what is acne and what is it
an expression of? I mean, there's so many skin conditions.
There's rosation, egxementsoriasis, but what is acne.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It's inflammation in the body. Of course, you know there
is the acnebacteria that is inside the acne themselves. So
that's why the thinking is, oh, you take an antibiotic,
it kills the bacteria, clears up your skin. It works
for clients while they're on it, but when they come
off of it, their issues are always ten times worse
because again they're pouring fuel on the fire. They're disrupting
that microbiome. So when it comes down to it, acne
(14:33):
really is inflammation. It is getting the inflammatory component is
the redness, the swelling, the pain that we're seeing there.
And when we pull that back, it's like, well, what's
happening in the body that is causing that inflammation?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Got it and the real relationship to hormones. Birth control.
I don't recommend it for you to take as a
prevention of acne, but why was it working?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
So many people are prescribed aside from antibiotics, birth control
is going to be one of the first lines of
defense that a doctor will prescribe to an ACME suffer
for females, and the reason being is that they view
it as very androgenic, right, so testosterone would be part
of your androgen hormones. So if we take the birth
control pill, it's going to suppress your androgens, which is
(15:22):
suppressing oil production, which is going to help clear up
your skin. But the issue occurs is while you're on
birth control, not only is it worsening existing hormonal imbalances,
but it can be contributing to new hormal imbalances. It
can be alter your guts microbiome, it can be overwhelming
the liver. It's going to be depleting key nutrients in
your body like BS, magnesium, selenium, zinc vitamin C. So
(15:45):
when we come off of it, we're going to be
getting an androgen rebound where all of those androgens where
you've been suppressing are going to come barreling back in.
We're most likely going to be dealing with an estrogen dominance,
whether it's too much estrogen in the body or too
much estrogen in relation to progesterone, because really it is
shutting off like it's shutting off ovulation. It is shutting
off your brain talking to your ovarias. And even while
(16:06):
you're on the birth control pill, people are like, oh, well,
like I still get a period. Nope, you don't. That's
actually withdrawal bleed. So you're just flooding your body with
synthetic hormones instead of again once again getting to that root,
cause it becomes just acting like a band aid.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Okay, I'm going to bring up a controversial one. A
lot of teenagers are put on acutane, and I get it,
when your acne is so bad you don't want to
go to school. I remember the the years of COVID
when the kids would wear their masks to school, and
they actually were fine with it because it was covering
(16:40):
their acme that was making it worse, but at least
they could hide their acme. But acutane. Can you talk
about how it works but the side effects?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yes, So acutane is supposed to be prescribed for severe,
widespread scarring out when it's prescribed for a heck of
a lot less than that. I've had clients coming in
and they're like, this is what my sin look like.
I was prescribed acutane and it's nowhere near the level
that it should be at. And when we're looking at acutane,
it's actually a systemic drug, so it's going to be
(17:14):
working body wide. So this is why we see such
big side effects from it. Here in Canada, you legally
have to, if you're a female, have to be in
some form of birth control at the same time as
taking acutine because of the developmental effects that it can
have on the unborn fetus. It's going to be impacting
your eye sight so much that if you are taking acutane,
there's and if you are in the military, I believe
(17:36):
it's like the fighter jets. There's some part of the
military where you can't fly planes because of the way
that it impacts your eyesight. It's going to be very
very drying, because that's what it's going after. It's going
off the oil production. So it's like sucking you dry
from the inside. Super chapped lips, super dry skin, purging,
super dry eyes. It is going to be having that
impact all over. It's very hard on the liver as well.
(17:57):
And we have so many clients that have not only
taken one round of accutane, not two rounds. We've had
clients take six to seven rounds of accutane and their
acne comes back every single time. And it's generally between
month five to six up to about eighteen months, so
anywhere from half a year to a year and a
half is when the acne starts to come back after
the acutane. But they're so desperate, and I completely appreciate it.
(18:19):
Especially as a team. You're desperate to want to have
clear skin and fit in, and there's social media and like,
kids are just so mean these days. To be honest,
if I had been dealing with acne that bad back then,
it would have been really hard for me to say no.
So I can appreciate that thought process. But it's really
just being able to inform yourself on what it's actually
doing to your body and having that informed consent to
(18:39):
make the right decision.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean it is something that you can't You
can't explain the trauma that a child goes through with acne,
but the long term effects. And I mean, I don't
know if this is connected or not. One of my
very dear friends went through two rounds of acutane and
she has issued use with her brittle bones because you're
(19:03):
literally sucking the juice out of every crevice of your body,
not just your skin, right, So you need that lubrication
throughout the body and it's affecting that as well. So
there's so many long term effects. That's why I just
highly recommend do everything else you can before reaching for
that acutine. And so I want to I want to
(19:26):
talk about your solutions. Obviously we'll get into topical in
a minute, but gut, what are we eating? What are
we doing for elimination and for detox? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
So, and I don't want to forget to talk about
our hormones and nervous system because they come in play
just as much as I could talk on this subject
for days at a time. So we got lots to
go through when we're looking at gut Health. It's going
to be again very different for the individual because a
client that needs to do in h pylori protocol is
can be very different than a Candida protocol, different than
a cebo dip protocol, different than a low ox late
low histamine. So that's why we really big on testing
(20:01):
because we can see, Okay, these are the imbalances that
Sarah is dealing with, and this is the pathway that
we need in order to clear up that symptom of acne. So,
you know, it's going to determine what nutrition we're going
to be eating, it's going to determine the supplementation we're
going to be having, it's going to be determining the
lifestyle habits. So making sure we're very clear on what's
driving the acne because I would never have a you know,
(20:24):
two clients come in and be like, Okay, you're both
taking these four supplements and you're eating this way for
this amount of time and everything's going to be good
to go. It has to be very specific to the
person in the beginning. If you're like, Okay, where can
I start making changes? We really like to build on
the foundation of an anti inflammatory nutrition. I like to
say nutrition instead of diet, because diet has such a
bad connotation in society. So anti inflammatory nutrition, these are
(20:47):
going to be foods that naturally help reduce inflammation in
the body and avoiding foods that promote inflammation in the body.
So think your quality proteins with your omnivore or your
vegan plant based. You a plethora of a rainbow of
food of fruits and vegetables. So all of your fruits
and vegetables so wonderful, your healthy thoughts, allive oil, avocado oil,
and nuts, seeds, there's all really great foods to be including.
(21:10):
And then there's going to be those foods that promote
more inflammation, so that's your conventional dairy. It's going to
be impacting our gut health, can be promoting IGF one
insulin growth like factor one, which can be leading to
acne for some clients. We're going to be seeing gluten
as a big trigger for many people. Refined vegetable oils
not going to be your friend. Refine sugar. That's not
(21:31):
to say you can never have something sweet again, Let's
maybe use maple syrup, you know, raw honey, monk fruit,
different options over the refined sugar. So that's where we
really like for our clients to start, and then from
there it's going to determine what their imbalances are of
what nutrition and then you know, if they're starting with
that gut microbiome, we'll start there and then we build
(21:51):
on their protocols.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
That makes sense, I mean, and that's what I promote everybody.
So she's speaking to the choir, and it's interesting, like
my my youngest who's now in college, when she had
her little breakout when she got there. She's usually fine
with dairy, but she goes, Mom, I don't know what's
going on. I go, I know, you think that dairy
doesn't affect your stomach, but but affecting your skin. So
(22:18):
just eliminate it for a couple of weeks and see
what happens. And that's another overall thing to remember. If
what you're doing isn't working, try something else, why not,
and then you can always go back if we're proven wrong. Okay,
so that's the diet, and you wanted to go through
the nervous system, which is lally big.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yes, I mean. Before we get to the nervous system,
there's also the hormones. Because everybody thinks I have acne,
so it's my hormones. I have hormonal acne. I like
to say yes, and hormones can absolutely be at play,
but we have to remember a few things. Your hormones
heavily rely on the health of your gut and your
detoxification system. For an example, your estrabolome, which is a
unique sub set of microbes that helps the metabolize and
(23:02):
regulator estrogen. If our guts struggling, our estrogen is going
to be struggling, So we have to be looking more
upstream from those hormones and our liver and our kidneys
they're responsible for filtering hormones, so if they're struggling, our
hormones are going to be struggling. So we often find
that for our clients we don't even touch their sex
hormones like estrogen progesterone, because when you provide the pathways
(23:23):
that the body needs, it can self regulate, and it
can self regulate its own sex hormones. We do have
core clients where maybe it's a bigger estrogen dominance or
something's happening that we want to be supporting, but the
majority of the time the body is able to do
it itself. But the hormones we really do like to
look from the beginning is going to be the blood sugar.
So you're insulin and quartersol, which is your stress hormone,
because both quarters all and insulin are going to have
(23:44):
a domino effect to drive oil production in the skin,
which now we're dealing with an overproduction of oil in
the skin, clogging pores leading to breakouts. So those are
some foundational things, and it's like not skipping meals, you know,
eating enough food in the day, having protein, fiber and
healthy fats at ever, that's really going to be helping
with our blood sugar. And then you know, weaving in
stress production practices, getting quality sleep and not staying up
(24:06):
and scrolling until two am. All of these things are
going to be helping our core res all. So then
when we move into the nervous system, and I always
like to say, like these pillars have some bleed between. Right,
we have colon, which is in the detox system, but
it's also part of our digestive system, so there's a
little bit of bleed through. Now when we're looking at
our nervous system, this is such an overlooked system in
the body, and I always, you know, kind of laugh internally.
(24:27):
Whenever we run workshops on the nervous system, we get
like a fraction of the registrants that we get for
any other topic that we run, And I'm like, you, guys,
this is your missing piece right here. This is why
you're so struggling here. Our nervous system is that really
strong foundation. If we are stuck in a constant state
of fight or flight, our body is not going to
feel safe enough to heal. And if we are constantly
(24:48):
stuck in that fight or flight, it's going to be
dampening our digestive process. It's going to be impacting our hormones,
it's you know, there's the gut, brain, skin access. So
many things are happening because we are stuck in fight
or flight. And when we're dealing with that negative self
talk so so many acne sufferers have. They're so mean
to themselves. They bully themselves in their head all day long.
And I always like to give this analogy of if
(25:11):
there was a kindergartener struggling to read, and you went
up to them and was like, you can't readcat, what
an idiot? You are so dumb? Like how hard or
how do you think the journey for that child would
be they would struggle with reading for years to come
because they've been bullied about it. The same thing is
happening to you as an adult. And I know people
are like, oh my gosh, I would never speak to
(25:31):
a childlike that. Then why are we speaking to ourselves
like that? And really looking at even past emotional traumas.
So many people have suffered traumas as childhood, teens, even
as adults. These traumas, if we do not process them
and move them through our body, or are going to
be living free in our body and creating disease which
is going to be contributing to myriad of health issues.
(25:51):
And it all comes back to just really helping to
calm down that nervous system, regulate it, work on that
vagel tone, and bring the body back into that us
and digesting.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, it makes sense. The stress and cortisol disrupts everything,
just completely shuts down your thyroid function. Your body is
in like I'm in survival mode. Don't know if I'm
getting a famine, if I'm running from a tiger, or
if I'm just stressed out from not getting my likes
on social media and we're in this world now where
(26:22):
we don't know what it's like not to be out
of that fight or flight stage, and so you don't
even know the difference. I'm laughing because I actually had
a weekend of no one else in my house for
the first time in a very long time. Wow, lucky,
Is this what it feels like to just kind of
go like this because I haven't felt that in a
long time. Of course I missed everybody, but it was
(26:46):
nice to have that little reset, to get a baseline
of what it feels like when you're out of that stress,
and you know, it makes sense that you're outside is
a mirror to what is going on inside when you
have trauma or when you are of negative self talk.
Where do you feel the most ugly or pretty? It's
(27:08):
on your face. It's what you're expressing here, and acne
is a huge expression of look at me, I'm ugly, right,
So that's definitely makes sense, and it makes me think
about the mapping of the face and where the acne
is as an indication of what's going on in the
body that much.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Absolutely so, we love acne face mapping. It's not a
diagnostic tool, but we do love the insights it can
provide alongside functional labs and a client's health history. So
we actually have kind of formulated our own acne face map.
We've based it off of traditional Chinese medicine. However, after
working with well over three thousand clients all over the world,
we've kind of tweaked it just a hair ever so
(27:52):
slightly based on you know, modern life. Right. This was
created over five thousand years ago, so it's very very similar.
So for an example, a lot of people are going
to be cheek acne, this is going to be like
a very like digestion stomach area like the same with
the middle of the forehead, very very stomach area, middle
of the brow, very liver focus. So we really like
to be looking at the face map and where are
(28:12):
those breakouts happening? But also not the breakouts is what
is the coloring of the skin. The inflammation is their redness,
is their purple hueing? Is their broken capillaries? Is their puffiness?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Is there? This?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
So really like looking at those locations and for people thinking, Katie,
I don't know what you're talking about. The face map
is in traditional Chinese medicine, they found that specific zones
of the face can link back to imbalances within the body.
They have actually the same for your teeth as well.
So it's been you can see that based on the
areas that your breakouts are presenting, like say you have
(28:42):
it on the temples, maybe you're dealing with sluggish bileflow,
sluggish gall bladder, and really using that alongside your health
history and your functional lab results to put together that
full picture of what's going on.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
And it totally makes sense. I just did a liver
cleanse and I started getting a couple of little it's
right for sure. Yeah, so it is a real thing.
And the other thing that you had mentioned was the
meridians and the gallbladder. When I was in it was
ten years ago, I was in a car accident and
my eye hit the steering wheel and I was rear
(29:16):
ended at fifty miles an hour and night stitches down
to the bone in my left eye. But what was
more impacting my life was that my my I was
I had a dent in my temple here, Yeah, this
is your gallbladder meridian. I had major gall bladder issues
right out and it's way down here in the body.
(29:37):
But they are connected, so super interesting and It is
interesting when when you can see where the ACME is
showing up. Okay, maybe I should look at more of
my digestion and my debt or my liver or what
what does stress look like as how does it manifest
differently than some of the other types of ACME.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Well, with stress, right, is it's going to be impacting
all of your different body systems, right, it's the quarter's
also going to be impacting your hormonal systems. You're impacting
your gut. So sometimes it can be manifesting in those
areas because at the root of say that gut issue
is stress is just manifesting that we do see like
people that are going to break out, say they're like
they're really stressed. Maybe they're going to get it on
like the jawline or around their chin. We find that's
(30:22):
a really common one. They're like, oh my gosh, I'm
so stressed.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
I had this flair, right, okay, so should we talk
about topical or did we miss anything?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
And the end, I think and topical is everybody's favorite.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
It is. And you know, I have been known and
have a hard time still not scrubbing my face when
there's something there I want off. I just want to
scrub it. And I knew, I know I'm doing the
exact wrong things, So tell me why.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
So topicals are important. And I know a lot of
people are like Katie, if I'm working eternally, do I
stop my skincare? Said no, no, no, no, we want to
continue our skincare. We want to make sure it's a
nourishing skin care routine. Because so many acne suffers overuse products.
So they're using way too many products, too many actives,
they're overexfoliating, like you mentioned, whether they're you know, scrubbing
(31:11):
too hard, too much, they're using too many of the
AHA or bha acids. Maybe they're over using harsh ingredients,
bundle of peroxides and alcohols and top and medicated topicals,
all of these things, they're going to be impacting the
skin barrier. In your skin's microbiome. You have a protective
barrier and a topical microbiome. And if we're overdoing it,
we're really going to be disrupting this, which is going
(31:32):
to be leading to an increase in breakout, slower healing,
drier skin, more reactive skin, more sensitized skin, more irritated,
more inflamed. So when we're looking at that nourishing skin care.
If we want to be exfoliating and it's important for
acne suffers instead of a physical exfoliant, and I like
to call them the scrubbies, you know, the little scrubbies.
We want to be holding off on those if we
have acne because it can be irritating. It can also
(31:54):
break open the pimples and spread bacteria, which we don't want.
So could we be using a chemical exfolient aha, A
bch right, A lactic acid and mandelic acid, glycolic acid.
All of these will be helping to like like break
down and eat away the dead skin, so you're still
getting that exfoliation. And could we be looking at removing
any endocrine disrupting chemicals from our personal care products. These
(32:16):
are the hormone disrupting chemicals that are making hormones in
your body that we don't want to be doing because
if we're trying to balance hormones but we're slathering on
hormone balance disrupting chemicals, it's we're kind of porn fuel
on the fire. So really making sure we're looking at
cleaner beauty options. That's not to say you need to
get one hundred percent organical natural, so a lot of
those are actually commutogenic or poor clogging. So finding something
(32:37):
that's using cleaner ingredients, you know, noncommutogenic, and sticking to
making sure we're cleansing our skin, so a cleanse, and
then we if we want to be adding a ceramin
so a treatment like say an acid or an issinamide
or maybe hyaluronic acid for hydration, then using your face cream.
And yes, even if you have oily skin, we want
to be putting face cream on because if we are
(33:00):
constantly avoiding that, we're going to be starting to tell
the skin it's dehydrated, so it's going to increase oil production.
So maybe you're using a lighter weight moisturizer, maybe del
based moisturizer. And then if it's during the day, you'll
be wanting to put your mineral SPF on for the
day under your makeup before you go out for the day,
and that's kind of like the bare minimum. And at bedtime.
If you are somebody that wears a lot of makeup
(33:22):
or you know a good amount of SPF, then maybe
a double cleanse is going to be really helpful for you.
We're you use an oil based cleanser first because it
helps to be breaking down those oils. You remove it
with your a wet washcloth, and then you would be
using your regular water based cleanser to go in for
a second cleans to really make sure you're removing everything.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Amazing, And I love that you talk about the fact
that you should be using some sort of cream even
if you want to dry things out, because that's the
other thing that people just want to tend to. They
want to scrub and then leave it dry so that
it doesn't come back. But it doesn't work that way.
So Katie, I can't believe we're almost out of time.
(34:01):
What have we not gone over that you want to
make sure everyone hears.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
I think just the last piece of advice is I
know how hopeless it feels when you're struggling with acne
because you've tried. I always get this, Katie. I've tried
literally everything under the sun, and I like to say,
good news. If you had tried everything, your acne would
be clear. You've been doing some really great work and
working towards clearing up your skin. We just haven't gotten
there yet, so please don't give up on yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, and it goes for any health condition that you're
struggling with, right, I mean, the body is a miracle.
It wants to heal itself. You just need to give
it its own tools. So Katie, where can people work
with you and find you?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
They can find me at Katistewart Wellness dot com or
on Instagram at Katie Stuart Wellness our podcast Keep it clear,
I answer all my Instagram DM so you got questions,
just pop on there.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Amazing and remember, everybody, your skin is a window into
a deeper rooted problem inside. So not only are you
going to look better, but you're going to feel better.
We have more energy and probably be less inflamed. And
so thank you Katie. This is a topic dear to
my heart and my families and they will all be
(35:10):
listening as well, So thanks for joining us. I don't
know about you, but that sure hit home for me,
my kids, me and even my husband with his other issue.
But when you're a mom and your children have ACME,
it just hits so deeply. And so in addition to
(35:31):
what Katie's talked about, and she and I are so
aligned in what's going on in the body and how
to address it, there are a few supplements that I recommend.
They're no brainers. Number one is the Accelerated Leaky Gut Bundle.
We need to seal that leaky gut. Most of you
have some sort of leaky gut from the heavy metals,
(35:52):
the microplastics, the endocrine disruptors, the process foods. Even if
you had that one meal that could have cause leaky gut,
doesn't matter if you followed it up with a great
organic whole food meal after that. Well, the accelerated Leaky
Gut Bundle is the megascore biotic. Different than a probiotic
(36:13):
than we are talking about that can be high histamine.
This is a spore based biotic that survives the stomach
acid and gives your body the little gut buggers that
it needs versus someone else. So it literally goes down
in there and sees what you need and builds that microbiome.
And then you've got the megapre to feed those scores
(36:36):
and the megamucosa to seal that gut lining. But in
addition to that, you've got the accelerated Cellular detox powder.
This is the gut superhero. I've had this supplement way
before Accelerated Health Products was even alive, and it removes
toxins through the gut, which is more important now than
ever before. Acne is coming from that, right, we need
(36:59):
to soak up those toxins that are liver and kidneys
and detox pathways are trying to get rid of. Soak
them up and get them out of the body without
the detox flucient system, our symptoms, and without your body saying, hey, skin,
I need your help get rid of these toxins with
(37:20):
the acne or the roseata or the skin condition. Let's
soak them up and get them out of your intestines
and your calling very easily and as micronizeolite, human graine,
dimitatious earth, chitasin organi, trifola, slippery elm activated charcoal. But
with that also we talked a lot about liver. The
(37:41):
accelerated liver care was a game changer for me. It
supports the hormonal balance, the detox pathways, and it helps
the liver process those excess hormones, the toxins, the inflammatory
compounds that influence acne formation. So with things in it
like tocun malk thisle philanthus boople and supplement you've never
(38:02):
heard of, or an ingredient you've never heard of Palperia
that is known for cirrhosis help and helping with liver
cancer things much more serious. So we have thirteen herbs
that work synergistically together with no oxalates, no histamines, and
no sulfur ingredients so they will not trigger your individual system.
(38:25):
And this formula helps break down the estrogens and androgens
linked to hormonal acme, increases the bile production for more
elimination and bowel movements, helps with glutathion, and reduces the
backlog of toxins that otherwise can exit through the skin.
So those are my go tos as a basis on
(38:46):
top of that clean diet and on top of what
Kate you was talking about. So thanks for tuning in today.

Are you an adult fighting the wrinkles and the acne
still or maybe you have some girls or boys that
are teenagers that the bumps are just keeping them from
wanting to go to school. This was me, for my
kids and for myself. Welcome to Accelerated Health with Sarah Banta,
where I cut through the noise and fast track your
journey to better health. I'm your host, CEO and founder
(00:53):
of Accelerated Health Products and certified by the National Association
of Nutritional Professionals, and I'm here to share are the
latest on supplements, wellness hacks, and natural health solutions that
actually work, from boosting energy to detoxing new balancing hormones
and everything in between. So let's dive in. This is
one of those topics that hits home so deeply because
(01:18):
it was me, it was my children, and of course
my husband never had a ZiT in his life, but
he had egzema and all of the other issues. So
when you're talking about skin, we've got it here and
we've gone through the ring. And I'm so excited to
have Katie Stuart here. She's a leading holistic nutritionist in
(01:39):
the Coast of the number one nutrition podcast on Apple,
The Clear Skin Chronicle. She's also the creator of the
Clear Skin Solution, a renowned program that helps women finally
get to the root of their breakouts. I wish I
knew this when I was a teenager. Katie, how are
you today?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm good, Thank you. I know so many always say
I knew this twenty thirty years ago. And we actually
just renamed our podcast this month, so we just renamed
to keep it clear. So if you get a little confusion,
that's why.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Okay, well there we go. We want it clear, whatever
it is, we want clear skin. So you know, I'm
assuming that you have a pained to purpose story and
that there's a reason that you are doing what you're
doing and so passionate about it.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I don't think i've met a health practitioner in whether
you're a nutritionist or anything really where you didn't have
a story of what drove you here. I don't think
i've ever met somebody that was like, no, I just
thought this was a cool career to have. So for me,
my former career is I worked in television. I spent
fourteen years working behind the scenes of Hockey Night in Canada.
If you're not from Canada, that's our version of Sunday
Night Football. It's the biggest national broadcast across the country.
(02:47):
I was also working as an on air videographer and
location host for local cable stations, so my face was
on an HD camera every day. Then I was going
to a Hockey Night and I was working with celebrities,
NHL players, alumni, executives, like really big name people. And
in this was about my early twenties and I had
come off of the birth control pill. To take the
iued my girlfriend was like, oh my gosh, it's way better.
(03:09):
You don't have to take a pill. You just you
get the ied within a few weeks, my perfectly clear skin.
But I'd been on the birth control since I was
about fourteen, so I'm assuming that helped. My skin started
to get this very fine braille like acne on my forehead,
my temples, the tops of my cheeks, like the goateea
line area as well, and I went back to my
doctor and said, hey, U switching around my birth control
(03:30):
like it's it's making my skin break out. And she said, Katie,
there is no way changing your birth control around has
anything to do with your skin. You just need this topical,
this medicated, this antibiotic. And I said, no, this is
the only thing we've changed. And I didn't know anything
back then, so I'm really surprised at myself for saying no, no, no,
take it out. So I took the idea out, went
back on the birth control pill, and then my skin
(03:51):
got worse. So now I'm dealing with systic acne, cheeks,
jawling chin, backs of shoulders, my upper back. It was
really really impacting my confidence at work because when you're
working in television, you know it is a very visual
medium and appearance really matters. So I felt so self conscious.
I was always wearing heavy TV makeup. I would even
go to hot yoga like this, and I had no
idea that my skin was anything. I just thought I
(04:13):
hadn't found the right cleanser, I hadn't found the right
medication yet. I spent thousands of dollars trying to figure
it out at the same time, I had been assigned
to work on a gluten free cooking show. I had
never heard of gluten in my life. This was like
twenty eleven, so it wasn't a thing yet, and I
remember thinking this, lady's nuts. There's no way that removing
my favorite foods is going to make a difference in
how I feel like or you're you crazy? So I
(04:34):
said to well not, let me give it a try,
and my bloating went down. My lifelong migraines i'd had
since a child that I was taking a prescription medication
went away. Ended up discovering its celiac through this process,
and still I wasn't making connection between my skin and
what was going on inside. I ended up going back
to school to study nutrition because I was really interested
in after figuring this out. In my very first textbook,
(04:55):
there was a paragraph on how the birth control pill
impacts acne in your skin and your hormones, and I thought, oh,
my gosh, what.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Do you mean.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Nobody, none of the doctor's ever told me this. So
that's when I really began to obsess over all things
acne and internal health, and that's really what led me
to develop my five acne clear and Pillar system that
we now have taught to thousands of clients all over
the world.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Well, I'm just a personal story on me and my
whole family. Like I said, I'm not lying. My husband
hasn't had a ZiT in his life. And it's always
so funny because when my kids would go through their
acne issues, don't talk to your mom, talk to me.
I'm the one with good skin. I know how to
pick zits. And I said, you've never had one in
(05:39):
your life, So how would you be the person to
go to You have eggzema and dry skin and you
have a whole different issue. Now maybe systemically coming from
the same root cause, but it's it's expressing itself differently.
I had acne as a child. The birth control was
(05:59):
a solution for me. I was also put on a
low dose antibiotic that you could take forever. Sarah over you. Yeah,
that doesn't that didn't affect my right. So yeah, maybe
that was the root cause of all of my gut
issues that I've had. And then all three of my
(06:19):
kids different profiles of what their skin looked like, but
whole teenage actme issues and you know, certain things worked
for some of them and not for the others. And
diet is huge, diet stress hormones, all of these things.
Fast forward to just a year ago, where my liver
(06:42):
was overloaded, My enzymes were through the roof. I was
fighting parasites, a bad supplement that was toxic to my liver, shingles,
and a whole bunch of other things, and I was
having skin breakouts. Now it wasn't act me on my face,
but my skin was expressing these things saying, hey, talks
(07:02):
an overload for my liver. I can't do the job myself.
I need to get it out of my skin. And
that's something I want to make sure we touch on,
is the connection between the liver and the skin as well.
So I'm ready to dive in. Okay, is really causing acne?
And is it just a surface issue? Obviously not? But
(07:26):
where is it coming from? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I think that's one of the biggest myths is that
acne is just a topical problem, But in fact it's
an external symptom of an internal issue, just like your
husband's egzema. Wise, it was something internal going on. It's
and I always like to say that you and your
skin and your bowel movements are two of the biggest
windows into what's happening in your body. So if something
is happening topically, you know there's something off inside. So
(07:48):
when we work with our clients, I like to say, well,
there isn't one single root cause causing everybody's acne because
we're all so different, so unique. So when we're really
looking at it, I like to look at what I
call the five acne killing pillars gut health, detoxication, hormones,
nervous system, and nourishing skincare, And underneath each one of
those pillars is very different imbalances that could be driving
(08:10):
your acne. So while there might be two people that
have gut issues, their gut issues might be different, or
one client's dealing with, say candida, and the other one
has h pylori and low stomach acid, but they're still
presenting with the same symptom as acne. So this is
why we're so so big on functional medicine testing, which
is different than the standard blood labs you get from
your medical doctor. They're going to be more comprehensive and
(08:31):
looking at those imbalances. So when we look at gut health,
I know it's such a trendy term people like, oh,
I'm working in my gut health. I take a probiotic
and I drink kampucha and that's all I need to do.
And I say, okay, And we need to know what's
happening in your gut because our gut. Do we have
leaky gut? Are we dealing with low stomach acid? Do
we have an overgrowth of candida or bacteria? We have
(08:52):
an overgrowth of a strap or staff? Are we dealing
with low stomach acid? Do we have lingering infections like
h pylori? How are we dig rusting our food or
are we able to break our fats down? How are
pancreatic enzymes. There's so much more involved in the gut
than just taking a probiotic. Then, if we move into
the detoxification, which you touched on syrup is it's really
(09:13):
really important to be looking at the functioning of our
detox organs. Remember, our skin is our largest organ of detoxification.
So if the livers struggling, the kidneys, the limph everything
else is struggling, they're gonna be like, hey, skin, I
need you to like kind of start pulling your weight here.
We're going to send you a bunch of stuff, get
rid of it for us, and it's like, okay, cool.
That inflames the pores and leads to breakouts. So we
(09:33):
need to be looking, you know, further upstream and see, like,
what's really happening. How are liver pathways working, How are
we methylating, How is our lymphatic fluid, How are our
kidneys functioning? You know, how well is our colon effectively
getting stool outside of the body. These are all really
really important questions to ask.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, and you know, it's funny when you talk about gut,
you'll say to somebody, well, they'll say, I don't have
leaky gut. I have no issues. I'm not constant to
paint it or bloated. Well, you still could have leaky gut,
and it's manifesting in something else. Right, most people have
leaky gut. And now with all of the threats and
the toxins and everything that we're going through and being
(10:14):
exposed to, it is we're salmon swimming upstream with all
of this. My youngest daughter used to eat super clean
in my house, right, and now she's a freshman in
college where the food is out of her control mostly
And of course, first month of school, her skin flared
up and it was like black and white, and she
(10:35):
was doing everything she could to make all the right decisions.
And still so it is truly a window into what's
going on internally and detoxification. I love that you mentioned poop, yes,
because people think that, oh, well, I go to the
bathroom every three days, that's normal for me. That's not normal.
(10:58):
Think about a baby, right, they eat, they poop, They eat,
they poop, that is what you want to do, otherwise
you're recycling those toxins.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And I think it's because we didn't grow up talking
about this thing, right, especially if you're millennial or older,
you didn't really learn these things. I think the new
generations have access to social media that they learn, but
for our generations, we weren't taught these things. You never
talked about like bowel movements at school or at the
dinner table or at a like a party that you're at,
So you never grew up knowing what a healthy bower
(11:26):
movement looks like. And we're supposed to be having one
to three bowel movements every single day. And some people
even think, oh, well, go to the I go every day.
But then we have to think, Okay, are you straining?
Is there undigested food in the stool? Is it taking
a long time to pass? You know? Is there any blood?
Is there mucus? Like, there's so many additional things to
consider that even if you are having a bower movement
every single day, you could still be consipated, or you
(11:48):
could be dealing with diarrhea. And if we aren't getting
that stool out, so we're dealing with constipation. You're exactly right, Sarahs.
We're going to have those toxins and hormones like estrogen
we're trying to get rid of end up back in circulation,
which is increasing our toxic load, our inflammation in our body,
more hormonal imbalances. And then on the other hand, if
we're dealing with diarrhea, that means we're going to be
(12:09):
malnourished because the food is moving through our system way
way too quickly, and we're not able to deserve all
of those wonderful nutrients that the food has to offer.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Right, and our food has very little nutrients today compared
to fifty years ago, So we need every single little
bit of nutrient that we are taking in. So I
want to I want to dive a little more into
the microbiome and the gut because you know, kombucha, covida,
sauer kraut, all of these things could be actually fuel
(12:40):
to the fire, for sure, they could They could be
making things worse.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I know, I know. That's the thing is again, when
gut health became so trendy, that's like probotic rich foods
and sauer kraut and kombucha and kiefer and all of
these different things. They can't be great in the right circumstance.
So for you know, a good handful of our acne
suffers they're actually dealing with the hiss intolerance that they
have no idea, and a histamine tolerance can really go
(13:05):
hidden for a very long period of time. And if
you're dealing with histamine, fermented foods are not going to
be your friend at all. So it is just pouring
fuel on the fire. So it really does come down
to that individual, individualized approach of what is happening in
your body, because when it comes to acne, there is
not one blanket, one size fits all approach.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, and histamine has become a lot worse. I don't
know if you've seen the same thing since the pandemic,
the spike protein has actually triggered histamine response to increase,
even in those people that didn't have an issue before.
So you might be having flare ups and you're thinking,
I don't know where this has come from because I've
(13:44):
never dealt with this before. So we are in a
new reality and it's going to affect our internal health,
our unexplained weight gain, our unexplained inflammation, and our unexplained
skin breakouts.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah. Absolutely, So how.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Does acne or what is acne and what is it
an expression of? I mean, there's so many skin conditions.
There's rosation, egxementsoriasis, but what is acne.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It's inflammation in the body. Of course, you know there
is the acnebacteria that is inside the acne themselves. So
that's why the thinking is, oh, you take an antibiotic,
it kills the bacteria, clears up your skin. It works
for clients while they're on it, but when they come
off of it, their issues are always ten times worse
because again they're pouring fuel on the fire. They're disrupting
that microbiome. So when it comes down to it, acne
(14:33):
really is inflammation. It is getting the inflammatory component is
the redness, the swelling, the pain that we're seeing there.
And when we pull that back, it's like, well, what's
happening in the body that is causing that inflammation?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Got it and the real relationship to hormones. Birth control.
I don't recommend it for you to take as a
prevention of acne, but why was it working?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
So many people are prescribed aside from antibiotics, birth control
is going to be one of the first lines of
defense that a doctor will prescribe to an ACME suffer
for females, and the reason being is that they view
it as very androgenic, right, so testosterone would be part
of your androgen hormones. So if we take the birth
control pill, it's going to suppress your androgens, which is
(15:22):
suppressing oil production, which is going to help clear up
your skin. But the issue occurs is while you're on
birth control, not only is it worsening existing hormonal imbalances,
but it can be contributing to new hormal imbalances. It
can be alter your guts microbiome, it can be overwhelming
the liver. It's going to be depleting key nutrients in
your body like BS, magnesium, selenium, zinc vitamin C. So
(15:45):
when we come off of it, we're going to be
getting an androgen rebound where all of those androgens where
you've been suppressing are going to come barreling back in.
We're most likely going to be dealing with an estrogen dominance,
whether it's too much estrogen in the body or too
much estrogen in relation to progesterone, because really it is
shutting off like it's shutting off ovulation. It is shutting
off your brain talking to your ovarias. And even while
(16:06):
you're on the birth control pill, people are like, oh, well,
like I still get a period. Nope, you don't. That's
actually withdrawal bleed. So you're just flooding your body with
synthetic hormones instead of again once again getting to that root,
cause it becomes just acting like a band aid.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Okay, I'm going to bring up a controversial one. A
lot of teenagers are put on acutane, and I get it,
when your acne is so bad you don't want to
go to school. I remember the the years of COVID
when the kids would wear their masks to school, and
they actually were fine with it because it was covering
(16:40):
their acme that was making it worse, but at least
they could hide their acme. But acutane. Can you talk
about how it works but the side effects?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yes, So acutane is supposed to be prescribed for severe,
widespread scarring out when it's prescribed for a heck of
a lot less than that. I've had clients coming in
and they're like, this is what my sin look like.
I was prescribed acutane and it's nowhere near the level
that it should be at. And when we're looking at acutane,
it's actually a systemic drug, so it's going to be
(17:14):
working body wide. So this is why we see such
big side effects from it. Here in Canada, you legally
have to, if you're a female, have to be in
some form of birth control at the same time as
taking acutine because of the developmental effects that it can
have on the unborn fetus. It's going to be impacting
your eye sight so much that if you are taking acutane,
there's and if you are in the military, I believe
(17:36):
it's like the fighter jets. There's some part of the
military where you can't fly planes because of the way
that it impacts your eyesight. It's going to be very
very drying, because that's what it's going after. It's going
off the oil production. So it's like sucking you dry
from the inside. Super chapped lips, super dry skin, purging,
super dry eyes. It is going to be having that
impact all over. It's very hard on the liver as well.
(17:57):
And we have so many clients that have not only
taken one round of accutane, not two rounds. We've had
clients take six to seven rounds of accutane and their
acne comes back every single time. And it's generally between
month five to six up to about eighteen months, so
anywhere from half a year to a year and a
half is when the acne starts to come back after
the acutane. But they're so desperate, and I completely appreciate it.
(18:19):
Especially as a team. You're desperate to want to have
clear skin and fit in, and there's social media and like,
kids are just so mean these days. To be honest,
if I had been dealing with acne that bad back then,
it would have been really hard for me to say no.
So I can appreciate that thought process. But it's really
just being able to inform yourself on what it's actually
doing to your body and having that informed consent to
(18:39):
make the right decision.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean it is something that you can't You
can't explain the trauma that a child goes through with acne,
but the long term effects. And I mean, I don't
know if this is connected or not. One of my
very dear friends went through two rounds of acutane and
she has issued use with her brittle bones because you're
(19:03):
literally sucking the juice out of every crevice of your body,
not just your skin, right, So you need that lubrication
throughout the body and it's affecting that as well. So
there's so many long term effects. That's why I just
highly recommend do everything else you can before reaching for
that acutine. And so I want to I want to
(19:26):
talk about your solutions. Obviously we'll get into topical in
a minute, but gut, what are we eating? What are
we doing for elimination and for detox? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
So, and I don't want to forget to talk about
our hormones and nervous system because they come in play
just as much as I could talk on this subject
for days at a time. So we got lots to
go through when we're looking at gut Health. It's going
to be again very different for the individual because a
client that needs to do in h pylori protocol is
can be very different than a Candida protocol, different than
a cebo dip protocol, different than a low ox late
low histamine. So that's why we really big on testing
(20:01):
because we can see, Okay, these are the imbalances that
Sarah is dealing with, and this is the pathway that
we need in order to clear up that symptom of acne. So,
you know, it's going to determine what nutrition we're going
to be eating, it's going to determine the supplementation we're
going to be having, it's going to be determining the
lifestyle habits. So making sure we're very clear on what's
driving the acne because I would never have a you know,
(20:24):
two clients come in and be like, Okay, you're both
taking these four supplements and you're eating this way for
this amount of time and everything's going to be good
to go. It has to be very specific to the
person in the beginning. If you're like, Okay, where can
I start making changes? We really like to build on
the foundation of an anti inflammatory nutrition. I like to
say nutrition instead of diet, because diet has such a
bad connotation in society. So anti inflammatory nutrition, these are
(20:47):
going to be foods that naturally help reduce inflammation in
the body and avoiding foods that promote inflammation in the body.
So think your quality proteins with your omnivore or your
vegan plant based. You a plethora of a rainbow of
food of fruits and vegetables. So all of your fruits
and vegetables so wonderful, your healthy thoughts, allive oil, avocado oil,
and nuts, seeds, there's all really great foods to be including.
(21:10):
And then there's going to be those foods that promote
more inflammation, so that's your conventional dairy. It's going to
be impacting our gut health, can be promoting IGF one
insulin growth like factor one, which can be leading to
acne for some clients. We're going to be seeing gluten
as a big trigger for many people. Refined vegetable oils
not going to be your friend. Refine sugar. That's not
(21:31):
to say you can never have something sweet again, Let's
maybe use maple syrup, you know, raw honey, monk fruit,
different options over the refined sugar. So that's where we
really like for our clients to start, and then from
there it's going to determine what their imbalances are of
what nutrition and then you know, if they're starting with
that gut microbiome, we'll start there and then we build
(21:51):
on their protocols.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
That makes sense, I mean, and that's what I promote everybody.
So she's speaking to the choir, and it's interesting, like
my my youngest who's now in college, when she had
her little breakout when she got there. She's usually fine
with dairy, but she goes, Mom, I don't know what's
going on. I go, I know, you think that dairy
doesn't affect your stomach, but but affecting your skin. So
(22:18):
just eliminate it for a couple of weeks and see
what happens. And that's another overall thing to remember. If
what you're doing isn't working, try something else, why not,
and then you can always go back if we're proven wrong. Okay,
so that's the diet, and you wanted to go through
the nervous system, which is lally big.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yes, I mean. Before we get to the nervous system,
there's also the hormones. Because everybody thinks I have acne,
so it's my hormones. I have hormonal acne. I like
to say yes, and hormones can absolutely be at play,
but we have to remember a few things. Your hormones
heavily rely on the health of your gut and your
detoxification system. For an example, your estrabolome, which is a
unique sub set of microbes that helps the metabolize and
(23:02):
regulator estrogen. If our guts struggling, our estrogen is going
to be struggling, So we have to be looking more
upstream from those hormones and our liver and our kidneys
they're responsible for filtering hormones, so if they're struggling, our
hormones are going to be struggling. So we often find
that for our clients we don't even touch their sex
hormones like estrogen progesterone, because when you provide the pathways
(23:23):
that the body needs, it can self regulate, and it
can self regulate its own sex hormones. We do have
core clients where maybe it's a bigger estrogen dominance or
something's happening that we want to be supporting, but the
majority of the time the body is able to do
it itself. But the hormones we really do like to
look from the beginning is going to be the blood sugar.
So you're insulin and quartersol, which is your stress hormone,
because both quarters all and insulin are going to have
(23:44):
a domino effect to drive oil production in the skin,
which now we're dealing with an overproduction of oil in
the skin, clogging pores leading to breakouts. So those are
some foundational things, and it's like not skipping meals, you know,
eating enough food in the day, having protein, fiber and
healthy fats at ever, that's really going to be helping
with our blood sugar. And then you know, weaving in
stress production practices, getting quality sleep and not staying up
(24:06):
and scrolling until two am. All of these things are
going to be helping our core res all. So then
when we move into the nervous system, and I always
like to say, like these pillars have some bleed between. Right,
we have colon, which is in the detox system, but
it's also part of our digestive system, so there's a
little bit of bleed through. Now when we're looking at
our nervous system, this is such an overlooked system in
the body, and I always, you know, kind of laugh internally.
(24:27):
Whenever we run workshops on the nervous system, we get
like a fraction of the registrants that we get for
any other topic that we run, And I'm like, you, guys,
this is your missing piece right here. This is why
you're so struggling here. Our nervous system is that really
strong foundation. If we are stuck in a constant state
of fight or flight, our body is not going to
feel safe enough to heal. And if we are constantly
(24:48):
stuck in that fight or flight, it's going to be
dampening our digestive process. It's going to be impacting our hormones,
it's you know, there's the gut, brain, skin access. So
many things are happening because we are stuck in fight
or flight. And when we're dealing with that negative self
talk so so many acne sufferers have. They're so mean
to themselves. They bully themselves in their head all day long.
And I always like to give this analogy of if
(25:11):
there was a kindergartener struggling to read, and you went
up to them and was like, you can't readcat, what
an idiot? You are so dumb? Like how hard or
how do you think the journey for that child would
be they would struggle with reading for years to come
because they've been bullied about it. The same thing is
happening to you as an adult. And I know people
are like, oh my gosh, I would never speak to
(25:31):
a childlike that. Then why are we speaking to ourselves
like that? And really looking at even past emotional traumas.
So many people have suffered traumas as childhood, teens, even
as adults. These traumas, if we do not process them
and move them through our body, or are going to
be living free in our body and creating disease which
is going to be contributing to myriad of health issues.
(25:51):
And it all comes back to just really helping to
calm down that nervous system, regulate it, work on that
vagel tone, and bring the body back into that us
and digesting.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, it makes sense. The stress and cortisol disrupts everything,
just completely shuts down your thyroid function. Your body is
in like I'm in survival mode. Don't know if I'm
getting a famine, if I'm running from a tiger, or
if I'm just stressed out from not getting my likes
on social media and we're in this world now where
(26:22):
we don't know what it's like not to be out
of that fight or flight stage, and so you don't
even know the difference. I'm laughing because I actually had
a weekend of no one else in my house for
the first time in a very long time. Wow, lucky,
Is this what it feels like to just kind of
go like this because I haven't felt that in a
long time. Of course I missed everybody, but it was
(26:46):
nice to have that little reset, to get a baseline
of what it feels like when you're out of that stress,
and you know, it makes sense that you're outside is
a mirror to what is going on inside when you
have trauma or when you are of negative self talk.
Where do you feel the most ugly or pretty? It's
(27:08):
on your face. It's what you're expressing here, and acne
is a huge expression of look at me, I'm ugly, right,
So that's definitely makes sense, and it makes me think
about the mapping of the face and where the acne
is as an indication of what's going on in the
body that much.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Absolutely so, we love acne face mapping. It's not a
diagnostic tool, but we do love the insights it can
provide alongside functional labs and a client's health history. So
we actually have kind of formulated our own acne face map.
We've based it off of traditional Chinese medicine. However, after
working with well over three thousand clients all over the world,
we've kind of tweaked it just a hair ever so
(27:52):
slightly based on you know, modern life. Right. This was
created over five thousand years ago, so it's very very similar.
So for an example, a lot of people are going
to be cheek acne, this is going to be like
a very like digestion stomach area like the same with
the middle of the forehead, very very stomach area, middle
of the brow, very liver focus. So we really like
to be looking at the face map and where are
(28:12):
those breakouts happening? But also not the breakouts is what
is the coloring of the skin. The inflammation is their redness,
is their purple hueing? Is their broken capillaries? Is their puffiness?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Is there? This?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
So really like looking at those locations and for people thinking, Katie,
I don't know what you're talking about. The face map
is in traditional Chinese medicine, they found that specific zones
of the face can link back to imbalances within the body.
They have actually the same for your teeth as well.
So it's been you can see that based on the
areas that your breakouts are presenting, like say you have
(28:42):
it on the temples, maybe you're dealing with sluggish bileflow,
sluggish gall bladder, and really using that alongside your health
history and your functional lab results to put together that
full picture of what's going on.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
And it totally makes sense. I just did a liver
cleanse and I started getting a couple of little it's
right for sure. Yeah, so it is a real thing.
And the other thing that you had mentioned was the
meridians and the gallbladder. When I was in it was
ten years ago, I was in a car accident and
my eye hit the steering wheel and I was rear
(29:16):
ended at fifty miles an hour and night stitches down
to the bone in my left eye. But what was
more impacting my life was that my my I was
I had a dent in my temple here, Yeah, this
is your gallbladder meridian. I had major gall bladder issues
right out and it's way down here in the body.
(29:37):
But they are connected, so super interesting and It is
interesting when when you can see where the ACME is
showing up. Okay, maybe I should look at more of
my digestion and my debt or my liver or what
what does stress look like as how does it manifest
differently than some of the other types of ACME.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Well, with stress, right, is it's going to be impacting
all of your different body systems, right, it's the quarter's
also going to be impacting your hormonal systems. You're impacting
your gut. So sometimes it can be manifesting in those
areas because at the root of say that gut issue
is stress is just manifesting that we do see like
people that are going to break out, say they're like
they're really stressed. Maybe they're going to get it on
like the jawline or around their chin. We find that's
(30:22):
a really common one. They're like, oh my gosh, I'm
so stressed.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
I had this flair, right, okay, so should we talk
about topical or did we miss anything?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
And the end, I think and topical is everybody's favorite.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
It is. And you know, I have been known and
have a hard time still not scrubbing my face when
there's something there I want off. I just want to
scrub it. And I knew, I know I'm doing the
exact wrong things, So tell me why.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
So topicals are important. And I know a lot of
people are like Katie, if I'm working eternally, do I
stop my skincare? Said no, no, no, no, we want to
continue our skincare. We want to make sure it's a
nourishing skin care routine. Because so many acne suffers overuse products.
So they're using way too many products, too many actives,
they're overexfoliating, like you mentioned, whether they're you know, scrubbing
(31:11):
too hard, too much, they're using too many of the
AHA or bha acids. Maybe they're over using harsh ingredients,
bundle of peroxides and alcohols and top and medicated topicals,
all of these things, they're going to be impacting the
skin barrier. In your skin's microbiome. You have a protective
barrier and a topical microbiome. And if we're overdoing it,
we're really going to be disrupting this, which is going
(31:32):
to be leading to an increase in breakout, slower healing,
drier skin, more reactive skin, more sensitized skin, more irritated,
more inflamed. So when we're looking at that nourishing skin care.
If we want to be exfoliating and it's important for
acne suffers instead of a physical exfoliant, and I like
to call them the scrubbies, you know, the little scrubbies.
We want to be holding off on those if we
have acne because it can be irritating. It can also
(31:54):
break open the pimples and spread bacteria, which we don't want.
So could we be using a chemical exfolient aha, A
bch right, A lactic acid and mandelic acid, glycolic acid.
All of these will be helping to like like break
down and eat away the dead skin, so you're still
getting that exfoliation. And could we be looking at removing
any endocrine disrupting chemicals from our personal care products. These
(32:16):
are the hormone disrupting chemicals that are making hormones in
your body that we don't want to be doing because
if we're trying to balance hormones but we're slathering on
hormone balance disrupting chemicals, it's we're kind of porn fuel
on the fire. So really making sure we're looking at
cleaner beauty options. That's not to say you need to
get one hundred percent organical natural, so a lot of
those are actually commutogenic or poor clogging. So finding something
(32:37):
that's using cleaner ingredients, you know, noncommutogenic, and sticking to
making sure we're cleansing our skin, so a cleanse, and
then we if we want to be adding a ceramin
so a treatment like say an acid or an issinamide
or maybe hyaluronic acid for hydration, then using your face cream.
And yes, even if you have oily skin, we want
to be putting face cream on because if we are
(33:00):
constantly avoiding that, we're going to be starting to tell
the skin it's dehydrated, so it's going to increase oil production.
So maybe you're using a lighter weight moisturizer, maybe del
based moisturizer. And then if it's during the day, you'll
be wanting to put your mineral SPF on for the
day under your makeup before you go out for the day,
and that's kind of like the bare minimum. And at bedtime.
If you are somebody that wears a lot of makeup
(33:22):
or you know a good amount of SPF, then maybe
a double cleanse is going to be really helpful for you.
We're you use an oil based cleanser first because it
helps to be breaking down those oils. You remove it
with your a wet washcloth, and then you would be
using your regular water based cleanser to go in for
a second cleans to really make sure you're removing everything.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Amazing, And I love that you talk about the fact
that you should be using some sort of cream even
if you want to dry things out, because that's the
other thing that people just want to tend to. They
want to scrub and then leave it dry so that
it doesn't come back. But it doesn't work that way.
So Katie, I can't believe we're almost out of time.
(34:01):
What have we not gone over that you want to
make sure everyone hears.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
I think just the last piece of advice is I
know how hopeless it feels when you're struggling with acne
because you've tried. I always get this, Katie. I've tried
literally everything under the sun, and I like to say,
good news. If you had tried everything, your acne would
be clear. You've been doing some really great work and
working towards clearing up your skin. We just haven't gotten
there yet, so please don't give up on yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, and it goes for any health condition that you're
struggling with, right, I mean, the body is a miracle.
It wants to heal itself. You just need to give
it its own tools. So Katie, where can people work
with you and find you?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
They can find me at Katistewart Wellness dot com or
on Instagram at Katie Stuart Wellness our podcast Keep it clear,
I answer all my Instagram DM so you got questions,
just pop on there.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Amazing and remember, everybody, your skin is a window into
a deeper rooted problem inside. So not only are you
going to look better, but you're going to feel better.
We have more energy and probably be less inflamed. And
so thank you Katie. This is a topic dear to
my heart and my families and they will all be
(35:10):
listening as well, So thanks for joining us. I don't
know about you, but that sure hit home for me,
my kids, me and even my husband with his other issue.
But when you're a mom and your children have ACME,
it just hits so deeply. And so in addition to
(35:31):
what Katie's talked about, and she and I are so
aligned in what's going on in the body and how
to address it, there are a few supplements that I recommend.
They're no brainers. Number one is the Accelerated Leaky Gut Bundle.
We need to seal that leaky gut. Most of you
have some sort of leaky gut from the heavy metals,
(35:52):
the microplastics, the endocrine disruptors, the process foods. Even if
you had that one meal that could have cause leaky gut,
doesn't matter if you followed it up with a great
organic whole food meal after that. Well, the accelerated Leaky
Gut Bundle is the megascore biotic. Different than a probiotic
(36:13):
than we are talking about that can be high histamine.
This is a spore based biotic that survives the stomach
acid and gives your body the little gut buggers that
it needs versus someone else. So it literally goes down
in there and sees what you need and builds that microbiome.
And then you've got the megapre to feed those scores
(36:36):
and the megamucosa to seal that gut lining. But in
addition to that, you've got the accelerated Cellular detox powder.
This is the gut superhero. I've had this supplement way
before Accelerated Health Products was even alive, and it removes
toxins through the gut, which is more important now than
ever before. Acne is coming from that, right, we need
(36:59):
to soak up those toxins that are liver and kidneys
and detox pathways are trying to get rid of. Soak
them up and get them out of the body without
the detox flucient system, our symptoms, and without your body saying, hey, skin,
I need your help get rid of these toxins with
(37:20):
the acne or the roseata or the skin condition. Let's
soak them up and get them out of your intestines
and your calling very easily and as micronizeolite, human graine,
dimitatious earth, chitasin organi, trifola, slippery elm activated charcoal. But
with that also we talked a lot about liver. The
(37:41):
accelerated liver care was a game changer for me. It
supports the hormonal balance, the detox pathways, and it helps
the liver process those excess hormones, the toxins, the inflammatory
compounds that influence acne formation. So with things in it
like tocun malk thisle philanthus boople and supplement you've never
(38:02):
heard of, or an ingredient you've never heard of Palperia
that is known for cirrhosis help and helping with liver
cancer things much more serious. So we have thirteen herbs
that work synergistically together with no oxalates, no histamines, and
no sulfur ingredients so they will not trigger your individual system.
(38:25):
And this formula helps break down the estrogens and androgens
linked to hormonal acme, increases the bile production for more
elimination and bowel movements, helps with glutathion, and reduces the
backlog of toxins that otherwise can exit through the skin.
So those are my go tos as a basis on
(38:46):
top of that clean diet and on top of what
Kate you was talking about. So thanks for tuning in today.

or your child and you can head to Sarah Banta

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
