In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler speaks with Clear Skin Lab client Kolby about her 20-year struggle with psoriasis and cystic acne. After years of conventional treatments—including Accutane, birth control, and countless topicals—Kolby found that these approaches offered only temporary relief. Her story highlights the turning point of transitioning from conventional dermatology to a functional, root-cause approach.
Through comprehensive lab testing, mineral balance, targeted supplementation, and nutrition strategies tailored to her lifestyle, Kolby began to see significant improvements in her skin health. Kolby also shares insights into the emotional side of chronic skin conditions, the importance of proper expectation-setting, and how she learned to heal without overly restrictive diets or unsustainable supplement routines. Her journey is a powerful reminder that skin healing requires both the right data and the right support.
