Before & After Progress Report

This one is on a health journey. She is working with a Naturopath doing some detoxing and I’m working alongside to help with what’s showing up on the skin. After 2 facials (and a lot of vacationing in between) she is making progress. As I always say, CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Inflammation has decreased, texture improved and clearing is happening.

Want Better Skin? Lift Weights.

I always tell my clients that beautiful skin is multifaceted.
There isn’t one cream, one facial, or one healthy habit that solely creates healthy, resilient skin. It’s the combination of what you do consistently that makes the difference.

Strength training is one of those things. When you lift weights, you’re doing so much more than building muscle. You’re improving insulin sensitivity, helping your muscles clear glucose from your bloodstream, reducing glycation (one of the processes that damages collagen), lowering inflammation, and creating an internal environment that supports healthier skin.

Research has even shown that resistance training can improve skin elasticity and increase dermal thickness, the deeper layer of your skin where collagen lives.

Will lifting weights replace a good skincare routine? Of course not. But if your goal is healthy, resilient, well-aging skin, it’s one more powerful tool to add to your routine.

Healthy skin is built from the inside and the outside. Now go lift something heavy.

ADULT ACNE: WHY DOES IT HAPPEN

A holistic perspective

Adult acne is a reflection of whole-body balance.

Common root causes include:

* Blood sugar instability: Frequent glucose spikes increase insulin and growth signals that stimulate oil glands.
* Gut dysfunction: Dysbiosis, constipation, or increased intestinal permeability can promote systemic inflammation.
* Chronic stress: Elevated cortisol influences immune regulation, healing, and sometimes androgen activity.
* Nutrient deficiencies: Zinc, omega-3s, vitamin D, and antioxidants all support healthy skin function.
* Lymphatic stagnation: Reduced circulation and lymphatic drainage may contribute to slower removal of inflammatory byproducts, though evidence for this as a direct cause of acne is limited.
* Hormonal transitions: Perimenopause is a common time for first-time adult acne because estrogen declines while androgens may become relatively more dominant.
