Episode #14 My Skin Journey: I Didn't Think I Was Ever Going To Be Here

When your skin breaks out, it’s easy to think it’s just about products, food, or hormones. But what if it’s actually your body asking you to change how you live?

In this raw and deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Anthea Todd shares her 7-year journey with debilitating hormonal acne — from the despair of cystic breakouts and failed treatments to finally finding freedom in her skin.

Through a mix of medical insight, functional testing, and energetic self-inquiry, she reveals what really shifted her skin: listening to her body and making choices that felt alive.

Whether you’re battling acne, feeling lost in an endless cycle of protocols, or wondering why your symptoms won’t go away, this episode will help you see your skin as more than a problem — it’s a compass guiding you home to yourself.

You’ll Hear About:

• The emotional toll of hormonal acne and why skincare wasn’t enough
  
• Why normal blood tests don’t always give real answers
  
• The power of functional testing (and what Anthea’s hair test revealed)
  
• How stress, boundaries, and “should's” show up on your skin
  
• The energetic shift that finally brought her relief
  
• Why healing isn’t just about what you cut out — but how you live
