and spending most of my days worried
about the giant zit
on my forehead rather
than actually being in the moment.
I tried everything, and I mean everything,
to clear my skin —
hormonal birth control
pills, antibiotics, prescriptions, over-
the-
counter creams, holistic treatments…
you name it. I went
to derm after derm,
trying to find “the magic cure” for my
breakouts. Nothing worked.
While trying too many ‘scripts and
treatments to count, I had a nagging feeling
that my acne issues might have something
to do with the chili cheese dog, Dorito,
Sour Patch Kids and Dr. Pepper diet I was
on – but all the doctors dismissed this
thought. And so for a long time, I did too.
Many painful years (and breakouts) later,
in what would be my final acne
consultation, the appointment ended
abruptly with the dermatologist’s final
words, “Well, I don’t know what else to
tell you, Jill. You’ve tried everything.”
OOF.
Those words rang in my ears the whole
drive home. I cried. Hard. And I realized…
she was right — I had exhausted every
option. Except one. My food.
So I went all in. I did a complete 360
with my diet. Within a few days, I went
from eating processed foods and sugary
comfort treats, to a nutrient-packed,
deliciously healthy daily meal plan. And
after 15 years of struggling with acne,
my skin was completely clear in 30 days.
(Yup, just 30!)
After perfecting my system for clear skin
(Hello, Clear Code™!) for the last 10+ years
- banishing breakouts for good has kinda
become my jam.
