S01 E12 – Acne vs Rosacea (And What Causes Them)

Today our focus goes beyond just acne, as we tackle the enigmatic condition of rosacea. Often mistaken for acne, rosacea is actually a chronic inflammatory response that requires a different approach. Many of you who have suffered from rosacea have been told to avoid spicy foods and stress less, but the redness and inflammation persist. In this episode, we explore the correlation between rosacea and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and how rebalancing our microbiome, nutrition, and skincare can lead to the regression of rosacea symptoms.

In this week’s episode, we discuss…

• The key distinguishing factors between non-inflammatory and inflammatory acne.
• Distinctive features and triggers of rosacea to better manage its occurrence.
• Diet and stress management importance when addressing both acne and rosacea.
• The relationship between rosacea, SIBO, and overall gut health.
• Rebalancing mineral imbalances and pH levels contribute to controlling rosacea symptoms.
