Can Corn Cause Acne? The amount of carbohydrates that turn in to sugar in our bodies from eating corn is the main reason why many people who suffer from acne would see relief from not eating corn. This is because of insulin resistance. In our modern society, excess accessibility to sugar and carbohydrates all the time create a huge burden on the liver, adrenals, and pancreas.

This is one of my favorite recipes that reminds me of my junk food days at the same time as it fulfills the best nutritional needs for acne and gut healing. I hope you enjoy it! Why grain-free? This childhood favorite crispy chicken recipe is grain-free for acne and gut health. Lower glycemic diets help lower inflammation in the body.

Carrots contain beneficial fiber and micronutrients to support the gut and your acne. They help balance hormones, fight inflammation, and contain vitamin C and beta-carotene which act as antioxidants fighting toxins, free radicals, and promote healing.

Why Paleo? I’m Italian so I grew up eating pasta and cheese. You might be wondering, why don’t I keep eating these foods?Over time, my microbiome (the ecosystem of bacteria in my gut) has undergone severe stress from environmental toxins, chemicals, and highly processed sugar, grains, and dairy.

When I first started my healing journey with my very own Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, Stacie Bailey NTP, I had a very different relationship with chocolate. I still consider myself a chocoholic but my addiction, yes addiction, no longer controls me. In fact, I may even break up with chocolate for good! (I can’t believe I just said that!)

Why Nut Free? Nuts and seeds contain phytic acid which is an amino acid (protein) that can be difficult to digest and can contribute to leaky gut, food intolerances, and skin issues.

I made this Young Wild Caught Tuna Steak with sesame lemon sauce fresh off the Oregon coast for my brother’s wedding. It did not disappoint!

Young tuna is superior in nutrients and doesn't contain the mercury or radiation that older tuna does. For acne and gut healing we need a balance of omega 3 fatty acids (fish) to omega 6 fatty acids (nuts/seeds/grains). So, you can eat more wild-caught fish.
