Clean Skin From Within: Balancing Your Hormones to Maintain Your Healthy Glow with Dr. Trevor Cates

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, Dr. Trevor Cates joins me to talk about hormones and nutrition. Dr. Cates is the author of the USA Today bestselling book</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clean Skin From Within</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and the founder of The Spa Dr. natural skincare line. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In order to obtain hormonal balance, we should look at many factors, including diet and seasonal changes. Our needs change with fall, winter, spring and summer and changing up your diet is important to get the freshest food with the most nutrients. Eating the same diet every day is not optimal. So if you’re used to eating the same chicken salad every single day, try replacing it with something seasonal.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even adult acne can be traced back to our gut health and metabolism because there is a gut-skin connection. Using the right skincare products without harmful chemicals is essential because those chemicals can pass through into our bodies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We get a healthy glow when your hormones are balanced. Dr. Cates suggests eating a little more fiber, a little less sugar, and trying to find ways to reduce your stress and have a more positive mindset. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look in the mirror and love what you see as much as you can!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[4:41] Why Dr. Cates wrote her 2 books</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[8:11] Why it’s important to change eating habits with the seasons</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[11:29] Adult acne in perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[15:05] How we can support ideal digestion and gut health</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[15:43] Our gut-skin connection</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[18:
