Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner.

And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones

and teach you how to have healthy periods. Each week, we will be diving into a different topic on women's

health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health.

Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your

healing journey. We hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, we're discussing a topic I think most women can relate to, and that's acne.

I'm here with my friend and colleague Robin Johnson, aka at Nutrition by Robin on Instagram.

Robin is a functional medicine dietitian nutritionist. Her passion of using food and lifestyle as medicine found her

after a personal battle and triumph with psoriasis. She specializes in helping women optimize

their hormones, gut, and skin by finding the root cause to their symptoms. Robin runs a virtual

private practice and is the creator of the Clear Skin Lab. Robin believes healthcare should be

individualized and that starts with each

person understanding how their bodies work and what their body truly needs to thrive. So thank you

for being here, Robin. I'm really excited to interview you. I am excited to dig into this.

Robin and I've actually known each other for a little while now. I feel like what, like a year online maybe?

Yeah, I think we really bonded

over vitamin A. Yeah, we both went through the root cause protocols. So we're both big mineral nerds

and pro retinol. Robin has been inside my membership. She's taught the women in there about acne.

You have a great Instagram, Clare Skin Lab, or that actual course that you have. But I've learned a lot. I've learned a lot about

acne from Robin. And I know if any of you have been listening to the podcast for a little bit, you know,

I struggle with acne a lot. That was a huge part of the reason why I even took the birth control pill
