Healing Acne Naturally: Alternatives to Harsh Medications

In this episode of the To The Root Podcast, Robyn Spangler R.D. outlines a practical, evidence-based approach to addressing acne at its root causes. She discusses the five primary contributors to acne—hormones, infections, inflammation, stress, and topical irritants—and explains why restrictive diets and quick-fix solutions often fail to provide lasting results. Robyn also shares insights on how past acne medications like Accutane, antibiotics, or Spironolactone can offer valuable clues about underlying issues. Whether you're managing your own skin concerns or supporting clients in their journey, this episode offers a clear roadmap to natural, sustainable skin healing.
