Welcome to The Holistic Skin Detective™ — a podcast designed to help you understand what your skin is really trying to tell you.

After more than two decades working in natural skin health, I began noticing something remarkable: most breakouts follow specific, repeatable patterns. Each pattern has its own set of underlying triggers — internal or environmental — that point directly to where healing needs to begin.

I documented these findings and developed the KD-SI™ Framework — a system that helps you identify your unique skin pattern and uncover the root causes behind your acne. It’s the first step toward working with your skin, rather than turning to harsh or temporary fixes.

These episodes are designed for those who’ve taken the Acne Type Quiz and are diving deeper in their own Holistic Skin Detective™ journey

In this episode, we continue to explore how stress influences the skin through the digestive system and why learning to process emotional tension can help your breakouts calm down naturally. You’ll discover:

• How the body shifts between fight-or-flight and rest-and-digest

• Why emotional tension can block the skin’s natural elimination cycles

• Gentle reflection tools to release stress safely and bring your system back into balance

If you’ve ever felt like stress is your biggest skin trigger, this episode is for you.

Your skin isn’t betraying you — it’s communicating.
The more awareness you bring inward, the more peace you’ll bring outward.
