How to avoid a NIP slip 🥴
(AKA Nutrition Information Panel)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
NIPs don’t have to be hard...
So here is a quick run down of how to read a NIP for a quick zip around the grocery aisle without needing to study 4 unit maths.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍏 Start with the ingredients. Any numbers, additives, long scientific words, things that sound like they belong in a chemistry lab, probably do and not in your digestive tract.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😵‍💫 Next; the panel with all the numbers. Look at per 100gms and search for;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sat fat, Sugar and Sodium.
These are your main concerns
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤌🏼 Finally; Ideally (but there are exceptions to the rule) you want to aim for
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sugar

Honestly though, what if the affected area is everywhere…

So this one seems pretty obvious to the naked eye, or to the common diet, but we still miss out on antioxidants daily!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Berries contain so many great nutrients, antioxidants and polyphenols that help your skin get all glowy and dewy ✨

They work on so many different body functions like our gut health, skin cell quality, and even reduce inflammation 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So when was the last time you popped a berry? 🫐

✨If you are suffering with Acne and want to get it sorted, I would love to help!

Maybe just one more will do the trick! 😑🫠🤡

Not sure who needs to hear this today...

Did you know avocados contain one of the highest amounts of fibre of any fruit!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cra-zee.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fibre is so good for your gut health, balancing your blood sugar and helps to reduce inflammation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Avocado also contains more potassium than a banana and is full of good fats and nutrients that are amazing for your skin!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Real good, real food.

Happy Friday!! A reminder to put your Nikes & New Balances up, give yourself permission to rest 🤍

🌞Hidden Drivers of Acne 🌞

🚌 Inflammation!! 🚌

Inflammation isn’t just a little driver of acne it’s a big school bus that will run you over and keep on driving.

It’s one of the main roadblocks from allowing your skin to glow 💫

So how to you get rid of it?

You identify where it is coming from and target it at the source.

👉🏼 is it your diet?
👉🏼 is it your lifestyle?
👉🏼 is it your environment?
👉🏼 is it your hormones?
👉🏼 is it your gut?

There are ways to clam down inflammation such as adding some anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory foods in to your diet.

This can look like adding turmeric in to your eggs or berries on your yoghurt.

But the main thing to remember is you will not put out the fire of inflammation if you don’t address the source.

Do you need help identifying your source of inflammation?

Hmmm feels a little too close to home...

Antibiotics 👉🏼Disrupted gut microbiome, reducing good bacteria, increasing acne

The Pill 👉🏼 Suppresses sebum production, the body compensates by producing more sebum, acne can get worse (especially when coming off the pill)

Roaccutane 👉🏼 thins the skin, reducing the barrier protection, increasing potential microbes when roaccutane is ceased (it also has a big impact on the liver which is a vital organ that plays a big role in skin health)

☝🏽A common cycle I myself have been caught in. Band-aid fixes, eventually causing more acne!

🤌🏼The reason why I love Natural Medicine so much is that it focuses on finding the root cause of acne, not just giving band-aid fixes

🙏🏼If you are struggling to break this cycle or want to know more send me a message or book an appointment via my website via the link in bio

There is something to be said for spending time in nature that helps to clear our heads.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But did you know that just spending time in nature can physically alter your gut microbes!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One study showed increased serotonin levels in children's gut microbiomes after spending time outdoors in nature. Leading to a lower level of stress and depression!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you are feeling a little stressed, take a walk on the wild nature side.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You will physically change for the better

Wondering why your 10 step cleansing routine isn’t budging your acne?

Steroid creams not helping eczema?

Bleach baths not helping your dermatitis?

⚖️ Acne is a sign that your body is out of balance in some way. It can be painful, frustrating and embarrassing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤯 Going on the pill, antibiotics or roaccutane is not a permanent fix, it is only a band-aid solution to a deeper cause. Here are just some of the roost causes of acne.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ If you suffer with acne, send me a message, I would love to help you!
