Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, yet it can leave us feeling isolated, frustrated and completely overwhelmed. From expensive skincare routines to restrictive diets and endless social media advice, it's hard to know what actually works.
In today's episode, I'm joined by Danielle Gronich from CLEARSTEM, to unpack the real root causes of acne and why treating your skin from the inside out may be the missing piece.
We dive into the connection between hormones, gut health, nutrition and inflammation, discuss common acne medications like antibiotics and Accutane, and explain how to identify pore-clogging ingredients hiding in everyday skincare and makeup products.
Whether you're struggling with hormonal breakouts, pregnancy acne, or you've simply been searching for answers, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you better understand your skin and support it for the long term.
In this episode we cover:
The biggest root causes of acne
Hormonal acne and why it happens
Antibiotics, Accutane and common acne treatments
How to read skincare labels and avoid pore-clogging ingredients
The role of nutrition, caffeine and exercise in skin health
Pregnancy acne and changing hormones
Rebuilding confidence while healing your skin
I hope this conversation reminds you that your skin isn't working against you. It's communicating with you.

When I first found out I was pregnant, one of my biggest questions was: Can I still exercise safely?
In this solo episode, I'm sharing exactly how I've adapted my training throughout pregnancy, the mindset shifts that have surprised me most, and why movement has become more empowering than ever.
We chat about:
How I've safely modified my workouts during pregnancy
Why eating more and gaining weight is essential for your baby's health during this era 
The importance of strength training (especially your posterior chain)
Why some movement is always better than none
The biggest mindset shifts that have helped me embrace this season
I also open up about navigating body image during pregnancy after experiencing an eating disorder, and how this chapter has helped me build a healthier relationship with food, movement and my body than ever before.
Whether you're pregnant, planning to conceive or simply looking to build a stronger relationship with exercise, I hope this episode reminds you that movement isn't about shrinking yourself. It's about supporting your body through every season of life.
