Why Your Skin is Always a Few Weeks Behind

Have you ever started eating healthier, taking supplements, or following a new acne treatment plan, only to look in the mirror two weeks later and think, "This isn't working"? What if your skin is actually healing...you just can't see it yet? In this episode of the Radiant Roots Clear Skin Podcast, Registered Dietitian Anne Marie Berggren explains the fascinating biology behind acne healing and why your skin often reflects what was happening inside your body weeks ago. You'll learn: 🌿 Why a pimple begins developing long before it appears on your skin 🌿 Why nutrition and lifestyle changes can improve your biology before you notice visible results 🌿 How skin cells grow, mature, and shed during the skin renewal cycle 🌿 Why many acne studies, including those on prescription medications and nutrition interventions, measure results after 8 to 12 weeks 🌿 Why understanding the science can help you stay consistent instead of giving up too soon If you've ever wondered why your acne isn't clearing as quickly as you'd hoped, this episode will help you understand what the research actually shows and why patience, consistency, and addressing root causes matter.

Doors are open at Skool

Doors are now open at Skool under the title Radiant Roots Clear Skin. Today after a little long boarding practice session in the park (I'm getting so comfortable and having fun you guys!)

I'm adding fresh content every month, and it's set up as a monthly subscription with yearly discount, but there is a 7 day free trial so check it out! P.S. Pardon the long pause, a dog came up to me to say hi for several seconds towards the end there and if I have to edit this it may never get posted! https://www.skool.com/radiant-roots-1611/about

Glycemic Index, Acne, Gummies, and Long Boarding

In this episode we unpack how the glycemic index of foods and meals you eat can trigger oily skin, an upstream trigger of the acne cascade that is rarely spoken of, but has a significant impact. Balanced meals aren't just for weight management and bodybuilding, they impact your skin! Tangents in this episode include references to fish oil gummy recipes you can find at rootdeepnutrition.com and how learning to longboard is healing my inner child that was wounded by growing up with acne. Enjoy! Musical segments provided by David Koltai.

Healing Acne May Start with Your Gut Barrier

The skin is the last thing your body will try and heal, so it can be a red flag that something is off in your body. In this episode of Radiant Roots Clear Skin, we explore the gut barrier. Your gut barrier is the barrier between you and the outside world. If it isn't functioning properly, you've got inflammation, malabsorption, and this can show up on your skin. We'll get in to situations where this can arise, nutrition to support its healing, and things to look out for that could be compromising your gut barrier health. Music by David Koltai.
