## Resource

Savannah's been dealing with acne since middle school. She's tried Proactiv, prescription topicals, birth control, esthetician peels, and literally everything the internet told her to try. So when she says this journey changed her life... she means it. In this episode, Savannah joins Katie and Cris to get real about what six months of inside-out skin work actually looked like, and spoiler: the biggest shifts had nothing to do with skincare. In this episode: Why doing "all the things" (we're talking whole food plant-based, clean supplements, monthly peels) still wasn't cutting it, and what was actually going on beneath the surface. The wild connection between unprocessed trauma, a calcium shell on your HTMA, and why your skin won't budge, no matter how clean you're eating. How three back-to-back cycles with zero breast tenderness and manageable periods showed up after years of debilitating PMDD, without the pill or an SSRI. The real reason Savannah kept putting it off, and the mindset shift that finally made her say "okay, let's do this" (hint: it wasn't just about the money). What "cocooning" actually looks like in real life, and why the emotional work might just be the most important part of your whole skin journey. Let's Connect Come hang out with Katie on Instagram .
