SUGAR AND DAIRY; REAL TALK

Do you experience hormonal acne? 

Hormones, along with many other factors, including bacteria, skin cell abnormalities, genetics, and stress levels all play a role. 

Lifestyle factors and dietary choices play a role in reducing symptoms.

Avoiding blood sugar fluctuations by choosing low-glycemic-index foods and high quality protein is key to controlling acne.

Eating sugary foods increases levels of insulin, which then stimulates the release of other hormones, such as insulin-like growth factor 1 which is a major contributor to the development of acne.

Dairy products ALSO promote insulin secretion and the production of IGF-1!

Say goodbye dairy and refined sugars!
