You can eat all the "clean" food in the world and still break out. If you've been doing everything right with your diet but your skin isn't improving, this episode is for you. Katie and Cris are breaking down what actually matters when it comes to skin nutrition, and spoiler: it's not just about eating organic.

What Katie & Cris break down in today's episode:

• Why your body doesn't care how clean your diet is if you're not digesting it properly.

•The real reason stomach acid matters more than you think, and what happens when you're low.

•How poor fat digestion could be causing congestion around your temples and messing with your hormones.

•Why zinc supplements aren't the answer, even though the internet says they are.

•What magnesium actually does beyond helping you sleep, and why coffee drinkers need more of it.

If you're dealing with acne as an adult, you probably feel really alone in it. You scroll social media and see all these perfectly filtered faces and think something's wrong with you. But here's the thing: you're not the only one going through this. Hailey tried everything before finding what actually worked, and her story might just sound a lot like yours.

Here’s a break down in today's episode:

• Why Hailey's intermittent fasting routine was actually backfiring and how eating more throughout the day helped her skin, digestion, and those binge eating patterns she thought she had.
• How her HTMA revealed she was way more stressed than she realized, even though she didn't feel stressed at all.
• Why one gut protocol wasn't enough and how multiple rounds of testing showed what her body really needed.
• The moment she realized she didn't have to control everything and could actually trust the process and her support team.
• All the unexpected byproducts of her acne journey that changed way more than just her skin.

Katie and Cris talk about acne burnout, the part of the acne journey no one really prepares you for. The phase where you’ve done enough diets, supplements, and skincare changes that your body isn’t the only thing tired, your motivation is too.

This episode breaks down why chronic acne feels so heavy emotionally, why constant change creates more confusion than clarity, and how to move forward without falling into the overcorrect-or-avoid cycle.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why wanting clear skin and feeling exhausted can coexist.
• How acne burnout quietly impacts confidence, dating, work, and daily decisions.
• Why skin often reacts last and what that means for your expectations.
• The signals your body gives before acne shifts, and why they’re easy to miss.
• How fewer, steadier inputs reduce spirals and make progress feel safer.
