Keep It Clear

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.

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.

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.
The unexpected wins that came before clear skin, from digestion and energy to hair regrowth.

Get ready for a brutally honest deep dive into the year that tried to take Cris and Katie out, and how they clawed their way back with transparency, support, and a whole lot of dark humour.
