Keep It Clear

If you've tried everything for your skin and you're wondering whether a holistic, root-cause approach is worth your money, this episode is the honest gut-check no one gives you.In this episode, Katie and Cris get real about something most practitioners won't say out loud: the holistic, inside-out approach to clearing acne isn't for everyone. After more than a decade and thousands of clients, they break down exactly who this kind of work fits and who it doesn't, from the mindset traits that predict results to the patterns that quietly sabotage them. They cover why this isn't a quick supplement swap, why "busy" isn't the disqualifier you think it is, and what a realistic clearing timeline actually looks like. If you want to make sure you're spending your money on something that'll actually help, this one's for you.In This Episode We CoverWhy the holistic acne approach works beautifully for some people and falls flat for others.The three traits Katie and Cris see in every client who gets great results.Why "I've tried everything and nothing works" is the mindset most likely to keep you stuck.How self-sabotage and staying comfortable in your discomfort quietly block your skin progress.Why this work leans more on lifestyle than on food or supplements (and why that surprises people).The realistic clearing timeline, from the 6-week anomalies to the clients who needed two years.Work With Us + ConnectReady to start?

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.If this episode resonated, we'd love it if you left a rating or review.

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.--In this episode, we get into:The real differences between IBS and IBD, and why so many people are mislabelled or under-investigatedDane’s personal story with severe Crohn’s and colitis, including multiple diagnoses and nearly losing his life in his twentiesHow hidden triggers like viral reactivation, mold exposure, and infections can keep inflammation turned onWhy constantly changing diets and supplements creates confusion instead of clarity, and how sequencing changes everythingWhy progress is often quiet before it’s visible, and how building a personalized plan helps you respond to setbacks without panic--Connect with DaneInstagram | @danejohnson1 + @crohnscolitis_lifestyle Website | https://crohnscolitislifestyle.com/--Let's ConnectApply to work with us in The Clear Skin Solution, here.Download The Gut Loving Cheat Sheet, here.Follow Katie on Instagram, here.
