0:00.0	This is the Pursuit of Wellness Podcast and I'm your host, Mari Lauella.
0:09.7	Hi guys. Welcome back to another episode. Today is a Q&A. I asked you guys to ask me anything and
0:17.7	you absolutely did ask me anything. I took a quick scroll through the questions and
0:21.9	they are nuts. The, uh, they really vary. So I really appreciate you guys always asking me so many
0:27.8	questions. I feel like this is such a great way to like see where you guys are at, you know,
0:32.7	give you updates, give advice, especially, you know, going through IVF and, you know, experiencing all these
0:40.1	different things. So without further ado, let's hop into this Q&A, skin update. So yeah, I guess a

0:54.1	episodes.
0:55.0	I had cystic acne for about 10 years on and off, had a really hard time figuring out why, and we

1:28.0	but absolutely nothing like what it used to be. I am still working on scarring. I have a microneedling
1:34.2	appointment coming up. I'm, you know, diligent with skincare. I get facials and things like that,
1:39.3	chemical peels. But so far, so good. It's honestly so nice and I still pinch myself every day that I get to have
1:46.1	clear skin because it was such a brutal, brutal time for me other than doing the inner work
1:52.5	with the H. Pylori and the supplements and the gut rebuild and the colostrum and all that.
1:57.0	I've found brands that I love. You guys know I'm obsessed with clear stem skincare, which is non-hormone
