Are you dealing with persistent breakouts, hormonal acne, or cystic acne? Acne is more than just a surface-level concern—it often reflects deeper imbalances in the body. Naturopathic medicine takes a root-cause approach to clear skin by addressing factors like hormonal imbalances, gut health, inflammation, and impaired detoxification.
- Hormonal Imbalances – Fluctuations in androgens, oestrogen, and progesterone can trigger breakouts, particularly around the jawline, chin, and cheeks.
- Gut Dysbiosis & Leaky Gut – Poor gut health and imbalances in the microbiome can contribute to systemic inflammation and acne.
- Inflammation & Oxidative Stress – Chronic inflammation can exacerbate acne by increasing sebum production and clogging pores.
- Poor Detoxification – The liver plays a key role in processing hormones and toxins; sluggish detox pathways can contribute to acne. The skin is connected to the lymphatic system, sluggish lymphatic clearance of metabolic waste products can worsen acne.
- Diet & Blood Sugar Imbalances – High-sugar, processed diets can increase insulin levels, promoting excess oil production and breakouts.
- Environmental Toxins & Skincare Products – Endocrine-disrupting chemicals in skincare, makeup, and household products can clog pores and influence your hormones contributing to acne.
