Welcome!
Hormonal acne, PCOS, gut health, and why intermittent fasting and acne don’t always mix, plus the deeper clues your body might be giving you.
Acne Burnout explained: why trying everything leaves you exhausted, and what actually helps you move toward clear skin.
Adult acne and fitness plateaus often share deeper root causes. Learn why clear skin can stall even when you’re training and eating well.
If you have tried everything and your skin still isn’t clearing up, we explain why clear skin can stay out of reach even with healthy eating, supplements, and all the internet tips.
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.
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.
From hiding behind concealer to walking out the door makeup-free, Peggy’s skin story is one you’ll want to hear. After years of struggling with painful cystic acne, endless products, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it, Peggy joined The Clear Skin Solution. She completely transformed her skin and her confidence in just six months.
Cozy, acne-friendly lattes made without dairy or refined sugar, plus a bonus decaf latte that keeps cortisol and breakouts in check.
Get ready for a deep dive into the real acne detox, the one that starts in your gut, not your bathroom cabinet. In this episode, we’re breaking down how your bowels, bile, and lymph play a massive role in clearing your skin (and why your “detox” might not be working yet).
What if your clearest skin ever wasn’t hiding in a new concealer but in finally addressing what is going on inside? If you have been chasing every cream, pill, or potion with no real results, this episode is your sign that lasting change happens when you look deeper.

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.

"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!"
-Lyndsay P.
"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."
- Sabrina H.
"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!!
