Joining me this week is my guardian angel, Emily Morrow, an Integrative Health Practitioner and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. Emily saved me from a life of acne and hormonal imbalances and now she's here to share her wisdom, insights, and candid tales of her own health battles. She taught me the importance of digging deeper, of looking beyond the symptoms to the root cause of our health concerns - a lesson that has transformed my life.

We delve into often misunderstood topics like cholesterol, hormones, and diets. We also discuss gut and liver health, an often overlooked aspect, especially in adolescents. We focus on skincare, supplements, and lifestyle changes for acne management, and the significant connection between mental health and acne. Emily shares her knowledge on how to use dietary switches for improved wellness, addressing acne with individualized approaches, and managing stress for overall health

Make sure you listen all the way to the end for some rapid Q & A, where we learn about acne safe makeup, fragrance in candles, deodorants to use, red light therapy, body acne and eczema.
