A Functional Approach to Healthy, Glowing Skin (Ft. Robyn Johnson)

Common acne treatments just aren't cutting it. In fact, they can make acne even worse in the long term. They may help manage symptoms, but they usually aren't solving the root issues of acne.

We need to ask: why is acne happening in the first place? What does it look like to look at root causes, do lab testing, assess health history, and ultimately put together a plan that doesn't just manage acne, but solves it?
