Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition. Today, Brittany and I will be discussing how you can help your teen manage and even reduce their teenage acne breakouts.

As dietitians will focus on the food connection to acne,

and we'll give you some suggestions about ways to reduce those inflammatory foods in your

teen's diet that may be contributing to that skin problem. We're also going to be sharing about

And if you can relate to the stress and the embarrassment of acne, please stay tuned because we want to

share some of the science about acne, but we also will be sharing some ideas, some

tricks, some supplements on how a better diet can result in fear outbreaks. So joining me today,

you've heard a voice is Brittany Vincent, who's also registered and licensed dietitian. She's

been working in the field of nutrition for the past 15 years. She's going to have three teenagers in about

10 years. It's coming. Yep. I will be in the throes of it before you know it. And I have been here

personally with acne. I struggled with it into adulthood. And I forget about that. Yeah,
