S04E06. Client Journey: Hailey on Hormonal Acne, Gut Health, and Why Intermittent Fasting Backfired Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

If you're dealing with acne as an adult, you probably feel really alone in it. You scroll social media and see all these perfectly filtered faces and think something's wrong with you. But here's the thing: you're not the only one going through this. Hailey tried everything before finding what actually worked, and her story might just sound a lot like yours.

Here’s a break down in today's episode:

Why Hailey's intermittent fasting routine was actually backfiring and how eating more throughout the day helped her skin, digestion, and those binge eating patterns she thought she had.
How her HTMA revealed she was way more stressed than she realized, even though she didn't feel stressed at all.
Why one gut protocol wasn't enough and how multiple rounds of testing showed what her body really needed.
The moment she realized she didn't have to control everything and could actually trust the process and her support team.
All the unexpected byproducts of her acne journey that changed way more than just her skin.

S04E05. Acne Burnout: Why You’re Exhausted From Trying to Clear Your Skin (And What Helps) Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

Katie and Cris talk about acne burnout, the part of the acne journey no one really prepares you for. The phase where you’ve done enough diets, supplements, and skincare changes that your body isn’t the only thing tired, your motivation is too.

This episode breaks down why chronic acne feels so heavy emotionally, why constant change creates more confusion than clarity, and how to move forward without falling into the overcorrect-or-avoid cycle.

In this episode, we cover:

Why wanting clear skin and feeling exhausted can coexist.
How acne burnout quietly impacts confidence, dating, work, and daily decisions.
Why skin often reacts last and what that means for your expectations.
The signals your body gives before acne shifts, and why they’re easy to miss.
How fewer, steadier inputs reduce spirals and make progress feel safer.

S04E04. Client Journey: Adult Acne, Fitness Plateaus, and Learning to Trust the Process With Elizabeth Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

January has this magical ability to make us think we’re going to reinvent our whole life by Monday. New workouts, new meals, new skin routine, new everything.

In this episode, Katie sits down with client and personal trainer Elizabeth Fitzpatrick for a crossover convo on why the fitness journey and the acne journey are basically the same. You start strong, hit a plateau or flare, then panic-reset and end up back at square one.

They talk mindset, timelines, nervous system support, and why coaching is often the missing piece when you’re doing “all the right things” but can’t stay consistent.

In this episode, we cover:

Why plateaus and flares trigger the “I need a new plan” spiral.
Elizabeth’s story - symptoms since childhood, birth control fallout, and feeling like an imposter in a fitness career.
The surprising progress that shows up first - anxiety calming down, feeling more grounded, and nervous system shifts.
Why you can’t coach yourself, even if you’re educated and motivated.
How coaching gives reassurance, better expectations, and a plan you don’t keep restarting.

S04E03. Why Your Acne Isn't Clearing Up (Even Though You've Tried Everything) Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

Ever catch yourself thinking, “I’ve tried everything. Skincare. Diets. Supplements. Tests. And nothing is changing.”

You’re not alone, and you’re not imagining it.

In this episode, Katie and Cris break down why adult acne can feel so defeating when you’ve already done all the “right” things. From dermatology routes to functional testing to internet nutrition advice, they talk about why progress often stalls, even when effort is high, and what usually gets missed along the way.

This conversation pulls apart the belief that you’re out of options and reframes what “nothing is working” actually means.

In this episode, we cover:

Why trying everything doesn’t mean you’ve tried what your body actually needs.
How “healthy eating” can quietly turn into yo-yo dieting for acne.
The patterns food journals reveal that Instagram advice doesn’t catch.
Why piling on supplements can slow progress instead of speeding it up.
What AI and generic protocols can’t replace when it comes to acne clarity.

If you’ve been stuck in trial-and-error mode and wondering what you’re missing, this episode brings a lot of light to the confusion.

Show notes

Living with IBS, Crohn’s, or colitis can feel incredibly isolating, especially when you’re doing “all the right things” and still not getting answers. In this episode of Keep It Clear, Katie and Cris sit down with Dane Johnson, holistic nutritionist and founder of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle, to talk about what actually keeps gut symptoms stuck for so many people. Dane shares his own near-death experience with Crohn’s and colitis, how years of medications and conflicting diagnoses pushed him to look deeper, and why healing often requires strategy, patience, and the right support, not more restriction. If you’ve been dismissed, overwhelmed, or told this is “just how it is,” this conversation will feel deeply validating.

The real differences between IBS and IBD, and why so many people are mislabelled or under-investigated
Dane’s personal story with severe Crohn’s and colitis, including multiple diagnoses and nearly losing his life in his twenties
How hidden triggers like viral reactivation, mold exposure, and infections can keep inflammation turned on
Why constantly changing diets and supplements creates confusion instead of clarity, and how sequencing changes everything

S04E01. Client Spotlight: From PCOS and Cystic Acne to Clear Skin with Haley Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

Adult acne can feel extra defeating when you’ve been dealing with it for years and nothing seems to work. In this Client Spotlight episode, Haley shares her long history with PCOS, cystic acne, and birth control, and how committing to one full year of healing completely changed her relationship with her body. After years of prescriptions, restrictive diets, and feeling dismissed, she finally stopped chasing quick fixes and started addressing what was actually driving her symptoms. If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure what else to try, this conversation will feel incredibly validating.

In this episode, we get into:

Why adult acne after birth control often shows up years later, not overnight.
What changed when Haley gave herself a full year to focus on healing instead of rushing results.
How using a Hair Trace Mineral Analysis (HTMA) uncovered root imbalances that bloodwork never flagged.
The emotional side of acne recovery, food fear, flares, anxiety, and learning to trust her body again.
