From 15 Years of Chronic Acne to Clear Skin – Talia’s Journey with Clear Skin Lab

June 10, 2025 • Robyn Spangler • Episode 27

In this episode of To The Root, host Robyn Spangler sits down with Talia, a driven professional and soon-to-be bride, to explore her 15-year struggle with chronic acne—and the transformative path she took to finally achieve clear skin.

After years of conventional treatments, including Accutane, spironolactone, and countless topical products, Talia still found herself stuck in a cycle of breakouts and frustration. It wasn’t until she joined The Clear Skin Lab that she discovered how deeper root causes—gut imbalances, stress, under-nourishment, and hidden inflammation—were driving her symptoms.

Through functional lab testing, personalized protocols, and step-by-step guidance, Talia learned not only how to heal her skin from within but also how to build a sustainable lifestyle that supported her overall health—physically and emotionally. As she prepares for her wedding with renewed confidence, Talia shares the insights, setbacks, and successes that helped her get here.

If you’re tired of short-term fixes and ready to explore a deeper, more effective approach to skin health, this episode is a must-listen.
