NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) is often recommended to people struggling with dermatillomania, but does it actually work? In this episode, we break down what NAC really is, how it functions in the body, and why it might help reduce chronic skin picking.

We’ll explore:

  • What NAC is and how it’s connected to antioxidants and glutathione
  • How oxidative stress affects your body (and mind)
  • The possible link between NAC and neurotransmitters like dopamine and glutamate
  • Real experiences from the community on whether it helped
  • What else you can do to support your healing from the inside out

Plus, Raffaela shares simple but powerful lifestyle shifts that support your nervous system and reduce urges - no supplement required.

If you've been curious about NAC or wondering whether it's worth adding to your routine, this episode is a must-listen.
