Getting Started

1
Hormonal & Glucose Testing

Test for elevated Androgens and Fasting Insulin, as high insulin triggers sebum-producing IGF-1.

2
Dairy & Sugar Audit

Temporarily eliminate high-glycemic dairy and refined sugars to see if skin clarity improves within 30 days.

3
Skin-Specific Nutrients

Supplement with Zinc and Vitamin A (under supervision) to regulate skin cell turnover and oil production.
