Adult acne affects SO MANY OF US, but it never gets talked about because there's so much shame and self-hatred surrounding the topic. Plus, we're all confused because we're not hormonal teenagers anymore - so, what's going on?!
In this eye-opening episode of the podcast, I chat to Mehgan Weatherly - Health Coach, Hypnotherapist and long-term chronic acne sufferer - to get to the root of the issue. We cover:
- Mehgan's experience with having acne from the age of 12 that lasted for 15 years
- Being on the birth control pill for 10 years and how it band-aided Mehgan's symptoms as well as causing a flare-up when she came off it
- Mehgan's experience with anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues
- The gut-brain-skin connection
- How Mehgan got into holistic health to support her parents with cancer and why ancient wisdom is important alongside western medicine
- What Mehgan has done to heal her chronic acne: eating for blood sugar balance, gut healing, digestion, detox organ support, stress management and beyond
- Changing her intention from focusing on having clear skin to focusing on self-acceptance and compassion
- Are you in a constant stress response? You might not even realise it
- Mehgan’s transition from marketing to health coaching and hypnotherapy
- Learning to listen to her inner knowing and go against the status quo when she hit her rock bottom in and her body literally said "no" (she couldn't move!)
- Common triggers for adult acne
- Antibiotics and acne
- Mehgan’s experiences with spirituality, “high vibe” culture, raw veganism and now finding a more grounded, balanced place
- The importance of reaching out and getting help on your healing journey
- Remembering that life is supposed to be fun!
