    Ep 22. 4 Things I Would Do to Balance My Hormones & Clear My Acne in 2026

    If you’ve already realized your acne isn’t just a skincare problem — but you still feel unsure what to do next — this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I share the four exact things I would focus on if I were starting my acne journey over in 2026, knowing what I know now as a functional practitioner who helps women clear hormonal acne every day. This is not about doing more or going to extremes. It’s about doing the right things, in the right order — and finally treating acne like the full-body inflammation issue it actually is. In this episode, we go over: Why treating acne like a skin issue, a dairy issue, or a spironolactone deficiency keeps you stuckWhy functional medicine testing (including deeper bloodwork, GI-Map, and HTMA) should come first — not after years of guessingHow chronic stress and a constantly “on” nervous system quietly block skin healingWhy supporting digestion is more effective than cutting out more foodsThe overlooked role of blood sugar and insulin in hormonal acne This episode is especially for women who know there’s a deeper root cause, but you feel like you're either doing too much or not doing the right things to clear your acne. ✨ Next Steps Mentioned in This Episode: 👉🏽 Learn more about The Hormonal Acne Reset Method™ & Book a free Clear Skin Call : CLICK HERE. ✨ Follow Ashley over on Instagram 👉🏽 CLICK HERE.

    21. What I Eat as an Acne Nutritionist to Clear My Hormonal Acne

    If you’ve ever felt confused, restricted, or anxious about food because of your acne — this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I walk you through what I actually eat in a day as an acne nutritionist — and more importantly, why I eat this way to support clear skin, balanced hormones, stable energy, and a HEALTHY relationship with food. I was scared of fruit, strict keto, avoiding carbs, and close to cutting out dairy — and I tal about why that restriction was quietly making my acne (and PCOS) worse. You’ll hear how focusing on HOW to eat instead of what to eliminate completely changed my skin — and now I help my clients enjoy food freedom without breaking out. This is not a restrictive “what I eat in a day” to copy — it’s a mindset shift and framework that shows what’s possible when you stop fearing food and start supporting your body. 🔗 Mentioned in This Episode ✨ Book a free Clear Skin Call to find out what’s actually keeping your acne stuck 👉🏽 Click HERE. ✨ Follow Ashley over on Instagram 👉🏽 Click HERE.

    18. Why Your Bloodwork Came Back "Normal" But You’re Still Breaking Out

    Your doctor said your labs are “normal” — but your skin, energy, and digestion tell a very different story. In today’s episode, I break down why basic bloodwork doesn’t give you the full picture when it comes to acne — and what you actually need to be testing if you want real answers.

    [Acne Lies] The Lie: “Cut Out Dairy, Gluten, Eggs, & Sugar”

    This is the episode where I tell the truth I wish someone told me: Your skin isn’t flaring because of sugar or dairy. It’s flaring because you’re depleted. Inside this episode, I share: ➡️ Why restrictive diets (even “anti-inflammatory” ones) are burning through your minerals ➡️ How food anxiety is putting your body into survival mode — and keeping your skin stuck ➡️ What high calcium, low potassium, and tanked sodium look like on an HTMA test ➡️ The connection between sugar cravings, fatigue, and hormonal breakouts ➡️ How PCOS symptoms, mood swings, and cystic breakouts can be rooted in mineral depletion — not food sensitivities You’ll also hear about my client Ari, who was doing everything right — no dairy, gluten, sugar, or even avocados — and still couldn’t go out on date night without hiding behind makeup. When we ran her HTMA test, the truth was obvious: her body wasn’t overdoing. It was starving. This episode will hit you hard if: ✔️ You track every bite and still feel inflamed ✔️ You avoid sugar but still crash mid-afternoon ✔️ You feel like a failure every time your skin flares after a “clean” meal ✔️ You’re scared to eat the foods you love — and tired of watching others eat freely 🎧 You don’t need more food rules. You need more minerals. This episode will show you where to start. 🔗 DM me RESET on Instagram [@yourskinwithashley] to learn how we run the HTMA test inside The Hormonal Acne Reset Method™ — so you can stop restricting and start healing.
