If Your Acne Won’t Go Away, Your Gut Might Be the Problem
from TCY Podcast · host Jensen Morris
What if your acne isn’t a skin problem, but an inflammation + gut health problem? In this video, I’m walking you through the step-by-step framework I use with clients to improve acne long-term by repairing the gut, reducing systemic inflammation, and addressing root causes like leaky gut, diet triggers, microbiome imbalance, and chronic stress. You’ll learn: The 3 main drivers of acne: inflammation, increased oil production (and “damaged” inflammatory fats), and bacterial imbalance (including C. acnes) How leaky gut can increase toxins/inflammatory load and show up on your skin The foundational lifestyle shifts that move the needle most (anti-inflammatory foods, reducing common triggers, hydration/electrolytes, and more) Why frequent snacking can keep your gut inflamed (no “rest and digest” time) A practical supplement toolkit that may support gut lining + inflammation (and when probiotics can backfire) The missing piece that can override everything: stress and nervous system load Disclaimer: I’m a Physician Assistant (PA), but this video is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Please consult your healthcare professional before changing medications, supplements, or treatment plans. If you’ve tried everything and you’re still struggling, testing (like a GI-MAP plus labs for hormones/thyroid/liver) can help uncover what’s actually driving your acne so you’re not guessing. So if you'd like labwork and 1-on-1 fully personalized help, apply for coaching at TCYCoaching.com or DM us on Instagram at TCY.Coaching
