Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

Today, our topic is all about acne.

We plan to discuss the nutritional connection to the acne that your teen may be experiencing,

or the nutritional connection to the acne you may be experiencing yourself during perimenopause or menopause.

And this type of acne is also typically called rosacea.

Or maybe it's the acne that many people have been experiencing these days from wearing a mask day in and day out because of COVID.

We will share the nutritional connection to each type of acne that I just described.

As always, there are always foods that can increase acne breakouts and foods that can

studio. Yes. So yes, Leah, I understand sugar cravings professionally and personally.

In fact, I think sugar cravings really tie into our acne topic today.

I am well equipped to help clients kick that sugar habit because I've been there and done that.

And I know the steps needed to conquer that sugar habit.

For me, breaking the sugar cycle is important because I know the harmful effects of eating sugar.

Sugar is controlled much of my childhood and much of my adulthood.
