What this blog is
The readable companion to the Keep It Clear podcast.
A lot of clients land here after years of trying things that didn't work. Diets that left them confused. Supplements that didn't move the needle. Skincare routines that promised results and delivered redness. If that's you, you don't need more noise. You need someone to make this make sense.
Organized around the 5 Acne Clearing Pillars
Gut
The foundation most chronic adult acne is built on.
Hormones
Including what birth control actually does long term.
Liver & Detox
The pathway that keeps estrogen moving out, not recirculating onto your face.
Nervous System
Because cortisol drives sebum, and stress isn't something you can supplement away.
Skin Barrier
The piece your skincare routine is supposed to support, not sabotage.
Who it's for
Anyone who's been told it's just genetics, just stress, just hormones, or just something you grow out of. Anyone still breaking out at 34 after doing all the “right” things.
What you won't find
TikTok supplement stacks. Celery juice takes. Recycled advice that ignores the root.
What you will find
Clinical specificity, real client patterns, and the science behind nutrition for clear skin.
