Keep being told “Everything is fine and within range”? We’ve heard that before

At least 5000 times we’ve heard it before…

It’s typically because your pathology results are being compared against very outdated reference ranges.

But also reference ranges that INCLUDE populations of people WITH DISEASE

Yes, that means your bloods (specifically thyroid I’m talking about here) is being compared to the results of people with thyroid disease that are classified in the “healthy range”

This is why we see so often in our clinic clients having absolutely no answers as to what is going on with their skin before they come to see us

This is why we ALWAYS do testing and we never attempt to through random treatments at you to target your hormones until we know the picture of what’s going on

There’s a method to the madness when it comes to how we work with our clients and until you’re doing the testing you’re pretty much guessing!

If you’re ready to find out exactly what the cause of your acne is and the next steps you can take, comment DISCOVERY & we'll send you the link to book in for a 15 minute zoom discovery call

You should never feel bad for this!

In our realm of focusing on the internals, we can only do so much as well if our clients are chopping and changing skin care or not using quality products

So we can understand that when you’re working externally, it can be frustrating because there can be SO MUCH out of your control

One week is your clients luteal phase and they’re getting heaps of breakouts

The next week there’s a weekend out with the gals and there’s maybe a few too many cocktails

The next week it’s been a stressful time at work so sleep and hydration aren’t even a priority

We are all about saying in your scope of practice, which means as a skin therapist you shouldn’t HAVE to be all over everything

But having the confidence in your conversations to ask the specific questions to your clients about what is going on with their internal health and explain to them the connection this can have with their acne so they can make an informed choice to work on their internals can be exactly the thing they need to do for their skin to heal

You don’t need to go back to uni to be a Naturopath or Nutritionist

And you don’t need to stock every supplement under the sun

If you comment TRAINING below - we'll send you the link to our Advanced Acne Training for Skin Therapists which teaches you everything you could possibly need to up your consultation game in the treatment room!

You’ll thank us later x

Below to learn how we do it!

We love using the glucose monitor to educate our clients on the changes they need to make with their diet to get on top of their glucose response and hormone health

It takes the guess work out of the dietary changes because you can’t deny the data you’re seeing in real time!

How we do it is super supportive:

First - We get you set up with your monitor

Second - We check in with you within the first 3-5 days to help you understand the data and interpret your glucose events.

Third - We set you up with a few challenges (For example eat white rice, brown rice, lentil pasta, rice cakes etc) in order to assess your level of insulin receptor sensitivity and to find the type of meal structure you need to follow to balance your blood sugar.

But, if you want a few more little tips - here they are:

- Be cautious of the drinks that you’re consuming (yes your chai & chatime can be flaring your skin)

- Just because a chocolate contains quality ingredients and is a “natural brand”, doesn’t mean in won’t spike your glucose levels

- On a nutrition label 4g of sugar = 1 x tsp of sugar; yes this can be enough to cause a glucose spike

And, if you want specialised advise so you can get on top of your PCOS or insulin resistance; comment “DISCOVERY” and we’ll send you a link to book in a free discovery call! 🤍

Although we love making customised formulas, a supplement can’t fix everything

When we’re reviewing our clients treatment plans in their return consultations - we are always looking at how we can refine things to keep it simple yet still effective for our clients

What supplement can be replaced by a long term lifestyle change?

What system of weakness actually needs to be addressed first before we just try to throw vitamin A at every acne case?

What nutrient/herb can we prescribe that has a synergistic effect and works on multiple pathways at once - rather than our client taking 1000 supplements to solve multiple problems?

One thing we’re big on asking our clients in our consultations is:

“How do you feel about your current supplement regime? Does this feel too much or is it manageable?”

You could have the best treatment plan written in front of you, but it isn’t going to do (p**p emoji) if you can’t comply to it because there’s too many supplements

And most importantly, focus on the hierarchy of repair

If you’re not p**ping at least once or twice a day and you’re feeling either completely exhausted or constantly wired - start there.

And, if you need a little helping hand along the way

Rosacea isn’t just a “redness” issue

It’s an immune, microbiome and gut-driven condition that shows up on the skin long after the internal pathways have begun to shift.

This is why so many people feel like they’ve “tried everything” topically… only to keep flaring.

Rosacea is complex, but it’s not random. When you understand the immune system, the neurovascular response, and the gut–skin axis, the whole picture becomes much clearer.

In clinic, we often see that supporting gut health, calming immune activation, balancing the microbiome (both skin + gut), and reducing systemic inflammation create far more meaningful, long-term improvements than focusing on the surface alone.

Your skin is reflecting what’s happening internally and when we treat those deeper drivers, rosacea becomes so much more manageable.

It’s a sad reality we live in

Everywhere we turn we’re either seeing a picture that’s been heavily edited or we’re speaking to someone that has every little part of their natural complexion covered with concealer (now we’re not hating on either of those)

But there’s a reason why we can see that individuals with a skin condition can feel so frustrated and out of touch with their body

Or even those without a skin condition can feel like they’re skin just isn’t dewy enough or their cheek bones don’t naturally have a line of bronzer on them

This is where we need to check in with the type of imagery we’re consuming on a daily basis

This is where we need to change our expectation of our skin to an actual true reality

This is where we need to appreciate our skin and body for what it does for us every single day, rather than the way it looks

The list could go on, but the one thing we see towards the end of our clients journey of working with us is the level of resilience and personal growth that has happened from start until end..

Your skin is a reflection of what is going on internally, but it ISN'T a reflection of who you are, your worth, your knowledge, your kindness, your empathy, your loyalty, your ability to care for others, your ability to create a safe space for those around you to feel heard and all of the things that actually matter.

What lessons have you learnt from your skin condition? 💜

Is gluten stopping your clients skin progress?

Gluten sensitivity can often present in so many little ways throughout the body, the only way to see if it's driving inflammation in your body is to go through the process of elimination, assess your symptoms and re-introduce to see how your body responds.

Because of how the body works and the increase immunoglobulins that occurs following gluten exposure (in those with a sensitivity), it's really important to adhere to elimination strictly for at least 12 weeks. Unfortunately, the body doesn't recognise it's the weekend and lets us have a hall pass for the sourdough toast with avo (or croissant)..

The signs/symptoms you need to look out for are systemic - and because your clients are probably use to feeling a particular way (i.e you can have clients that may say yeah I'm a headache type person I've always been that way, yes I get anxious over most things) they may not make the connection that it could be gluten driving a lot of the inflammation.

The important thing to remember is that it's never just one driver - if gluten is impacting your clients skin, then gut work needs to be done to optimise the repair!

If you're a skin therapist and want to learn more about how your clients internal health can be impacted their acne, head to our website for our Advanced Acne Masterclass - where you can learn how to help your clients achieve lasting results with their skin.

POD doesn’t have to be one of the trickiest skin conditions to treat

We know first hand seeing so many clients with POD and collaborating with so many skin therapists that POD can SEEM to take SO long to get results

And trust me, it can be one of those conditions where you feel like you’re all over it and then boom spring hits and it comes back with a vengeance

BUT, there’s often missing pieces of the puzzle we see in a lot of our cases that cause it to flare time and time again:
〰️ Underlying nervous system disregulation NOT addressed
〰️ Nasal cavity infections NOT addressed
〰️ Gut-skin connection NOT addressed
〰️ Oral microbiome NOT addressed

Plus of course, you want to be under the guidance of a Skin Specialising Naturopath and collaborating with a skin therapist/dermal clinician at the same time!

If you’ve followed us for a sec, you know that we always go on about blood sugar regulation

With very good reason why..

Your blood sugar levels can determine your:
- Inflammatory status
- Cortisol response
- Sleep quality (melatonin production)
- Collagen degradation
- Hormonal status (we’re looking at you hormonal acne)
- Glycation (and also looking at you wrinkling ageing skin)
- Immune system function (and also have our eyes on you POD, Rosacea & recurrent thrush)

If you’re not working on your blood sugar, you’re not working on your internals!

Head to the link in our bio for our CLEAR SKIN BLUEPRINT

We share with you exactly what you need to get results with your skin and find balance with your blood sugar 💜
