TLDL; action steps for this episode:
1. What your acne looks like can be helpful for narrowing down the root cause. For example, deep/painful/cystic acne is likely an internal cause.
2. The tests at your doctor's office may not be enough to get to the bottom of why you have acne. They are a great starting point but we need testing that tells us what your body is actually DOING with things (hormones, bacteria, etc)- not just how MUCH is there. Meg uses GI MAP, DUTCH + micronutrient testing in her practice.
3. Major starting points for figuring out root causes of adult acne are: hormones, gut, body's ability to detox.
4. A "healthy" diet is NOT the same as an acne healing or acne preventative diet! Meg's tips for following an acne healing diet are: A) Get 30g of fiber daily; B) Double your veggie intake; C) Drink Green Tea!
