Episode 31: ACNE, MASKNE, BACKNE EXPLANATION AND GUIDANCE FROM A HOLISTIC MD
- • Podcast
A lot of people are talking all about “maskne” or acne caused by wearing masks, so today I’m explaining what actually causes acne, and what you can do to clear it up.
In conventional medicine, there are a couple of common explanations behind what causes acne and how to treat it. Unfortunately, from a holistic point of view, a lot of those treatments involve antibiotics which can be extremely harmful to your gut and overall health. Acne is a symptom of the body detoxifying excess mucus, estrogenic toxins, candida, food preservatives, and more.
On this show, I talk about what you can do to holistically address the root causes of acne . I talk about the relationship between food and acne, the importance of detoxing your body slowly, the truth about bacteria on your face, and more.

“We are a much more developed species than we were 100 years ago, and even more so 1,000 years ago, because our body has been exposed to more things and it has adapted and learned how to respond to this new environment.” – Dr. Ben Johnson
