E93: A Holistic Perspective on Acne with Maria Marlowe

Send us a text

Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, I have Maria Marlowe as my guest, and we’re going back to the foundations of health and how that relates to inflammation and acne.
Maria is a certified holistic nutritionist and the founder of Kuma, a science-based ingestible skincare company. We discuss the six root causes of acne and how to treat acne from the inside out.
I loved this conversation because Maria gives us a great perspective on acne that is a bit more nuanced and detailed than what I've shared on the podcast before. In this episode:

• [02:45] Maria's own acne struggles
• [04:57] The connection between diet and acne
• [09:32] Acne medications and studies surrounding acne
• [14:09] The role of gut health on acne
• [23:03] The impact of hormonal imbalance on acne
• [26:00] The best foods for acne
• [31:36] Is your skincare making your acne worse?
• [34:02] Lifestyle factors and habits for clear skin
