The Cause?

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, yet its root cause is often misunderstood. While most treatments focus on the surface—creams, scrubs, or antibiotics—the truth is that acne originates much deeper. So what is the main cause of acne?

It’s Not Just One Thing

There isn’t a single, universal cause of acne. Instead, acne is the result of several interconnected factors—hormones, diet, digestion, stress: essentially toxin buildup—that create the perfect environment for breakouts. The skin simply reflects what’s happening inside.

Hormonal Imbalances

Hormones play a central role in acne. Excess androgens can overstimulate oil production, clogging pores and fueling inflammation. Supporting hormone balance through nourishing foods, stress management, and healthy sleep patterns is essential for long-term clarity.

Diet and Nutrient Deficiencies

Modern diets high in refined sugar, seed oils, and processed foods drive inflammation and strip the body of nutrients that the skin needs to thrive. In contrast, traditional, nutrient-dense foods provide fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and proteins that support skin healing. This is one aspect necessary for clear skin, and there are more "esoteric" means that are rarely discussed: all are revealed during our 90-day program.

Gut Health and Detoxification

A disrupted gut microbiome and sluggish detox pathways often push toxins out through the skin, resulting in breakouts. Supporting digestion and detoxification with fermented foods, bone broth, and whole foods helps restore balance.

A Holistic Answer

So, what is the main cause of acne? At its core, acne is a signal of toxicity in the body—hormonal, nutritional, digestive, or environmental. Addressing these underlying issues holistically allows the body to heal naturally, leading not just to clear skin but to stronger overall health. That is one part, the other part determines how this toxicity can "escape" the body without the usual method (i.e. acne). Learn how to transform toxins and make them leave in a manner that doesn't appear as acne through our 90-day one-on-one coaching program.
