Podcast 43: Acne - The Holistic Medical Explanation and Complete Solution
Today I give you the holistic medical explanation and complete solution for acne breakouts. I talk about all the places on the body where acne can appear and what can be behind these area-specific breakouts. I also share why some people get cystic acne versus little bumps on their skin and what to do to get rid of them.
Listen to this episode to learn about one of the rare times I agreed with a dermatologist and why you should stay away from most probiotics as a general rule.
