217: Dr. Trevor Cates on Hormonal imbalances and their effects on skin health, including acne, premature aging, and inflammation

Is your skin trying to tell you something? Maybe it's breakouts that won't budge, redness that flares up out of nowhere, or early aging signs that feel... off.

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Trevor Cates—naturopathic doctor, hormone health expert, and founder of The Spa Dr.—and she's walking us through the real connection between hormones and your skin.

What are the signs your hormones are out of balance—and what does that look like on your face? Which ingredients should hormone-sensitive skin absolutely avoid? Are stress and cortisol secretly sabotaging your glow? And what can you do today to start calming hormonal acne or inflammation from the inside out?

Plus—I loved our conversation about facial oils and how they fit into a hormone-supportive routine (yes, there's a right and wrong way to use them). If you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond and feel like your skin has changed lately—don't miss this episode. It's packed with tips that blend natural skincare, hormone support, and holistic beauty from the inside out.

XX, Lindsey
