In the second half of this episode, Whitney candidly shares her lifelong skin journey and struggles with acne. She details all of the various treatments she tried in an effort to cure her acne from: lasers, topicals, accutane, and more - with the hopes of one day achieving clear skin. It wasn't until she changed her nutrition and lifestyle habits that her skin and gut health completely transformed. Dr. Murad’s teachings & approach to skin was an inspiration to Whitney throughout her journey and led her to primarily focus on “eating her water.” Whitney experienced such a profound transformation with her skin and overall health from Dr. Murad’s teaching that it became one of Sakara’s 9 Pillars of Nutrition, which were created to set the foundation for total wellbeing.
