How Grace Healed Her Skin + Detoxed from a Decade of Prescription Acne Medications

Chronic acne is just cruel sometimes.

If you’ve tried all the skincare routines, expensive treatments, acne prescription medications, and acne home remedies but still struggle with relentless breakouts, this episode is for you. Hi 

Grace, our founder’s assistant, knows firsthand what chronic acne feels like – and how it makes you feel. In this episode, she explains how a routine dermatologist treatment for teenage acne turned into almost a decade of rotating steroid creams and acne prescription medications. Years of conventional treatments masked her symptoms but failed to address the root cause.

Grace persevered through some extremely challenging times to heal her acne naturally. And as she learned, there’s no rulebook for resolving chronic acne. You have to get to your unique root cause.

In this episode, you’ll sit with Grace, Bethany, and Taylor Dukes (Grace’s functional medicine practitioner) to listen in on: 

• How steroid creams and acne prescription medicines often make acne worse – fueling imbalances in your skin and body

• The moment Grace knew without a doubt that she needed to get off her acne prescription medications

• Why Bethany + Grace’s initial 30-day experiment to naturally heal acne didn’t fix the root causes of Grace’s chronic acne and what they’ve learned in hindsight

• Why functional testing with Taylor Dukes was the answer + a look into the full protocol they used to address the root cause(s). They talk about everything – from nutrients to digestion and gut health to full-moon parasite cleanses

• How your gut can be affected by conventional acne treatment protocols + the intricate link between gut health and acne

• What Grace has learned about masking symptoms with medication – and why she’d encourage anyone to invest in your health from the inside out 

• The one thing that motivated Grace to stick it out when things got really tough + her advice for anyone in a similar situation 

Grace is so excited to have the opportunity to tell her story and really explain why the conventional route of acne prescription medications isn’t the only option.

This conversation will empower you with newfound hope. You’re not broken – and every issue in your body stems from a root cause.
