Rooted Conversations
You’re not broken. You’re just disconnected from the truth of your body.
Rooted Conversations is the podcast where real healing meets real life. Hosted by functional health practitioner Mackenzie Grace, each episode peels back the layers of mainstream wellness to explore the messy, beautiful, and deeply transformative process of getting reconnected—to your body, your biology, your inner wisdom, and your power.
We talk about the root causes behind hormone chaos, gut issues, burnout, weight loss resistance, and why “doing everything right” still doesn’t work. We unpack the nervous system, metabolism, trauma, womanhood, and what it actually takes to feel grounded, nourished, and free again.
Whether you’re in your healing era, your soft girl season, or your “burn it all down and start fresh” chapter, you’ll find truth, tools, and fierce compassion here.
Because your symptoms are signals and it’s time someone finally listened.

Acne, Aging & the Root Cause No One Talks About — with Dr. Stacey Shillington, ND
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if acne wasn’t just a surface issue—but a sign of deeper imbalances your skin is trying to tell you about?
In today’s episode of Rooted Conversations, I’m joined by Dr. Stacey Shillington, a Naturopathic Doctor with over 20 years of experience helping women reverse chronic acne and premature aging by getting to the root of what’s going on internally.
We’re pulling back the curtain on the gut-skin connection, how detox pathways and hormones play a role in breakouts, and why topical products are only part of the solution. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of new routines, prescriptions, or peels that never fully solve the issue—this conversation is for you.
💡 What We Cover:
- Why your skin might be signaling gut, liver, or lymph issues
- How detoxification impacts acne, aging, and overall radiance
- Functional testing Dr. Stacey uses to identify root causes
- How to stop chasing trends and start trusting your body
- Why acne is an inside job—and what your symptoms are trying to say
