and spending most of my days worried
about the giant zit
on my forehead rather
than actually being in the moment.
I tried everything, and I mean everything,
to clear my skin —
hormonal birth control
pills, antibiotics, prescriptions, over-
the-counter creams, holistic treatments…
you name it. I went
to derm after derm,
trying to find “the magic cure” for my
breakouts. Nothing worked.
While trying too many ‘scripts and treatments to count, I had a nagging feeling
that my acne issues might have something to do with the chili-cheese-dog-Doritos-Sour-Patch-Kids-and-Dr.- Pepper-diet I was on – but all the doctors dismissed me completely... And so for a long time, I ignored my intuition too.
And many painful years (and breakouts) later, my final acne
appointment ended abruptly with the dermatologist’s final words, “Well, I don’t know what else to tell you, Jill. You’ve tried everything.”
OOF.
Those words rang in my ears the whole drive home. I cried. Hard. And I realized…
she was right — I had exhausted every option. Except one. My food.
So I went all in. I did a complete 360 with my diet. Within a few days, I went from eating a ton of processed foods and sugar, to a nutrient-packed, deliciously healthy daily meal plan. And after 15 years of struggling with acne, my skin was completely clear in 30 days.
(Yup, just 30!)
After perfecting my system for clear skin (Hello, Clear Code™!) for the last 10+ years
- banishing breakouts for good has kinda
become my jam.
