S02 E32 – Real Skin, Real Journeys Part 3: Anjan

Welcome back to the third episode of our series “Real Skin, Real Journeys.” part of our Katie Stewart Wellness Reviews.

In this episode, our guest Anjan shares her 10-year journey with cystic acne, from conventional medicine prescribing antibiotics, Accutane, and Spironolactone, to her more recent discovery of a holistic approach that actually addresses her body’s needs. Anjan opens up about the difficulties of having acne in her teenage years and early twenties, how it affected her self-esteem and social life, and made her feel isolated. We also talk about mindset, specifically how it can be one of the biggest challenges on this journey—even for someone with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology like Anjan—but also be a source of the biggest wins and personal improvements along the way. Tune in to hear about Anjan’s empowering story, incredible results, and positive future outlook.
