Prevent Acne By Getting To Its Root Cause

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and
Vuori. Acne is the number-one skin condition in the United States,
affecting not just millions of teenagers but an increasing number
of adults under the guise of hormones. Typically, the first thing
we reach for to deal with acne is a lotion, potion, or cream to
apply to the skin—and conventional medicine doctors frequently
prescribe birth-control pills. However, these approaches do not
target the root cause of acne. In this episode of my Masterclass
series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru
Purohit, about the biggest triggers of acne, why we all react
differently, and the top nutrients for skin health. We also discuss
some frequently asked questions from our community about acne
during puberty and more. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial
entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His
podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health
podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His interviews focus
