• Ep. 29: How to Decode Your Acne + Heal the Root Cause with Maria Marlowe

  If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still struggling with acne… This episode is for you.In honor of Acne Awareness Month, we brought on a guest who’s not only deeply informed, she’s also been through it herself. Holistic nutritionist and skin health expert Maria Marlowe joins Bethany for a powerful conversation on how to heal your skin from within and why it’s time to rethink everything we’ve been told about acne.After trying every conventional acne treatment out there, from antibiotics to birth control, Maria stumbled across something that changed everything: the healing power of food. Within five months of changing her diet and repairing her gut, her skin completely cleared. Since then, she’s spent over a decade helping others do the same through her Clear Skin Plan and research-backed nutritional guidance.This episode covers so much — from hormone-related breakouts and inflammation to gray hairs, Botox, motherhood, and how the grocery store might secretly be working against your skin.Episode Resources:Maria Marlowe:Follow: https://www.instagram.com/mariamarlowe/?hl=enClear Skin Plan: https://mariamarlowe.com/clear-skin-plan/Glow Biome Probiotic: https://www.kumaglow.co/Explore more from Primally Pure:Shop: https://bit.ly/4e1HzVvBlog: https://bit.ly/4gAeIsY

  In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Teo Soleymani, Stanford-trained, double board-certified dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon, joins us on our regenerative farm (under the sun) to unpack some of the most common misconceptions about sun exposure, skin cancer, and the products we’ve been told to trust. Dr. Teo shines light (literally) on why the most deadly skin cancers don’t come from sun exposure at all.
