IT’S ALL YOU CAN FOCUS ON

Not a single hair could be out of place, your outfit could be crisp and coordinated, the love of your life could be kissing you on the cheek—and—no, please don’t go anywhere near that pimple !

It doesn’t matter how steady the conditions around you are—when there’s a break out, it can make you break down. That’s especially true when things aren’t so great, like they have been for the vast majority of us in the last year and a half—that break out can do a lot more damage.

Maybe you thought you left acne behind in your middle school bathroom, or in your postpartum days, or during your stint with mask-ne—but, when you least expect it, it keeps rearing its (white)heads. So you try it all: you click add-to-cart after watching an Instagram influencer apply their stampede of serums, you surrender greasy food from your diet, and you even venture down the path of medication.

If those acne combat strategies actually work, they only seem to help for a short time, and even if they keep it at bay longer than all of the CVS aisle 7 products you’ve slathered on your skin combined, the bumps still find their way to the surface. The reason? Something much deeper is happening, and one that can’t be unearthed without an elixir you’ve (probably) never thought of before: holistic medicine.

It’s possible to walk across the bridge between western and eastern medicine and land safely on the other side with clear skin—whether that means stomping out acne, wrinkles, or not-so-sightly signs of aging. It’s time to stop zeroing in on your skin, and start zooming out. Treat the source, not the symptoms, and watch your skin, and maybe even your life, transform.

Ready to get started? Meet the Avenger of acne,
Dr. Shayna E. Peter.

    “I’ve had struggles with bouts of acne for years and have always wondered what exactly triggers it for me. There are months that go by when I have clear perfect skin and then all of a sudden I get terrible acne again. It’s Not Just Acne opened my eyes about how acne isn’t just a skin condition. It’s also an immune system imbalance and has all sorts of other root causes. I also learned how the digestive system plays a role in causing acne and what kinds of supplements are good for me and my kind of acne. My favorite chapter was 8 Taking Out The Guesswork because now I know how to test for and figure out all the possible things that are causing my specific acne problems and what to do about those causes. I even figured out a totally new skin care routine that looks promising. If you’ve also been struggling with acne I highly recommend this book”.

With treatment options seemingly limited to gimmicky over-the-counter products or dangerous medications, consumers are often left in turmoil about options to pursue. Fortunately, real science supporting ways to address acne do exist.

Nowhere else have I seen a collection of information such as this compiled to give the acne suffer true hope. If you are frustrated, embarrassed or simply want answers, you should look no further than “It’s Not Just Acne”.

“A paradigm shift in acne care”

Have you been looking for a clinician who looks at your entire body and its interconnectedness to other areas when trying to discover why you have acne? With the knowledge of your acne’s root cause, you will have an opportunity to treat it better and keep it from reoccurring again. Rather from exposures you had as a child or new exposures as an adult, Dr. Peter provides all the tools you’ll need to discover exactly what you’ll need to reverse your acne. The medical community needs clinicians like Dr. Peter to shift the disease management paradigm to one where disease reversal and healing are the new standard. I highly recommend her book for anyone who has been struggling with acne.”

“It’s About Time!”

“Lotions, creams, potions, hormones, antibiotics, steroids, and synthetic (toxic) vitamin A…This in a nutshell has always been the conventional way to deal with acne. It is so relieving to see Dr. Peter tackle this issue with sincerity and integrity. She goes into detail about the root cause of acne. She includes chapters on:

  1. Vitamins and Minerals
  2. Gut Health
  3. Hormone imbalance
  4. Liver health and detoxification

Healthy skin comes from within, and this book can help you understand the how and why.
Definitely worth a read”

In particular, acne has been linked to blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, leaky gut and food sensitivities. Dr Shayna Peter’s book is a comprehensive resource that will help you understand what root cause factors are driving your acne problems and the best nutrition and lifestyle strategies you can take to heal acne and have the radiant skin and optimal health that you want.
