Get ready for a super real Season 4 kickoff in 2026, where Haley shares how she went from years of cystic acne, a PCOS diagnosis, and relentless jawline breakouts to calmer digestion, steadier hormones, and clear skin that finally felt sustainable. This isn’t a quick-fix skincare story, it’s the behind-the-scenes of birth control, food fear, frustration, and the moment she stopped chasing band-aids and started rebuilding from the inside out.
Get ready for a brutally honest deep dive into the year that tried to take Cris and Katie out, and how they clawed their way back with transparency, support, and a whole lot of dark humour. This episode isn’t a polished recap; it’s the real behind-the-scenes of pregnancy loss, burnout, online bullying, perimenopause, ankle injuries, and the kind of stress that forces you to rebuild everything from the inside out.
What if aging wasn’t something you just had to accept? Dr. Joy Kong joins to unpack the fascinating world of regenerative medicine and how stem cells are changing the way we heal, recover, and age.

If your period has you canceling plans, living off chocolate, and wondering if this is just how it’s supposed to be — spoiler alert, it’s not. Dr. Erin Ellis joins to spill the hormone tea on what a normal cycle should look like and why feeling miserable every month isn’t something you have to just “deal with.”
Acne costs more than just clear skin. It drains your time, your energy, and your confidence, and the emotional toll can be heavier than any breakout. In this episode, we’re getting real about the hidden cost of acne and how to take your power back.
Discover 10 skincare habits that actually change your skin. Easy, realistic tips for clearer, calmer, glowing skin.

I’m Katie
I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist specializing in helping women with chronic acne clear their skin from the inside out.
Hey!
After years of dealing cystic breakouts, I cleared up my skin for good by fixing my gut, liver and hormones. I went back to school for nutrition and then said seeya later to my job in television. I launched an online nutrition business (before working from home was a thing) so I could help as many women as possible feel confident AF in their own skin, too.

Let's finally get you back to clear, glowing skin.
Acne goes deeper than just the surface—it's a sign of internal imbalances. That’s why prescriptions, medicated creams, and high-end facials don’t deliver lasting results. True skin clarity comes from an inside-out approach, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!
I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"Nine months ago I signed up for CSS since my wedding was coming up.
I'm here to tell you that hard work and dedication to your future self WORKS! All I wanted on my wedding day was for clear skin. And when I woke up on my wedding day in August, I can truly say that my skin never looked better."

"My skin.
MY SKIN MY SKIN MY SKIN!!
It's so clear it's unreal.

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."
I used to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
