Why Your Acne Isn’t Going Away (Even After Trying Everything)
If you’re in your early 20s and struggling with acne, I see you. 💛
So many women come to me here in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples and beyond completely frustrated — they’ve tried all the things:
Supplements they found online (that sometimes make hormones even worse)
Creams or prescription face washes that only help temporarily
Probiotics they hoped would magically “heal their gut”
And yet… the acne is still there.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the truth → acne is rarely just a skin problem. Your skin is often the messenger, telling you something deeper is going on inside.
Functional Nutrition for Acne in Fort Myers
This is why I use functional lab testing with my clients. Instead of guessing, we test to see what’s really going on inside the body.
Almost every time, we uncover one (or both) of these root causes:
✨ Gut Imbalances
An imbalanced microbiome, hidden bacteria, or inflammation inside the gut can make detox pathways sluggish. When your body can’t clear things properly, it often shows up on your skin.
✨ Hormone Pathways
Sometimes estrogen or androgens take what I call the “harsher route” through the body — increasing oil, inflammation, and breakouts. This is especially common in women in their 20s dealing with PMS, irregular cycles, or post-birth control changes.
When we actually see what’s happening inside, it’s like flipping on a light switch. Suddenly, the “mystery acne” isn’t a mystery anymore.
Why Skincare Alone Won’t Fix Acne
Here’s the thing: you can’t supplement your way into health. You also can’t cream or face wash your way into clear skin (as much as we all wish you could).
Topicals may help the surface, but if the root cause is in your gut or hormones, no amount of skincare can truly fix it.
That’s why my approach to acne support in Fort Myers is always whole-picture:
Functional labs to uncover what’s driving your breakouts
Diet and lifestyle shifts to support your body’s healing
Targeted support (when needed) to bring things back into balance
The Results: Clearer Skin + Better Health
The best part? Once we identify the issue, we actually get results.
Clients who’ve struggled for years finally see their skin clearing — not just for a week, but for good. And even better? They feel more energy, better moods, and fewer hormone swings because when your skin clears, it’s a sign your whole body is moving toward balance. 🌿
