THE PODCAST
On supplements - it depends on the driver of the acne. Is it hormonally driven? Is it gut-driven? Is it because there are nutritional gaps in the diet, as there's lots of inflammation and it's going to depend on the individual person and the individual presentation on what else is going on for that patient. But one of the things I do normally start with is a good quality zinc supplement, and like with a lot of supplements, not all zinc supplements are the same. Zinc is so important because it helps with our hormonal regulation. So basically it helps to inhibit this certain enzyme, which for the nerds out there is 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, which is involved in our androgen production, and it helps to regulate that pathway... which is really important for our skin healing, for the actual healing of the acne lesions themselves, it reduces the excess production of sebum and it does so many other things for our hormonal system too.
