Struggling With Acne That Just Won't Go Away?

Healthy lifestyle and nutrition consultation at NXTLVL Health

Do you feel like you've tried every cream, face wash, and topical treatment out there? Does your acne keep coming back no matter what you do? Are you tired of hiding your skin and feeling self-conscious?

You're not alone. Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, and it can affect teens and adults alike. At NXTLVL Health, we understand how deeply acne can impact your confidence, your daily life, and your overall well being.

That's why Mitch, our trusted naturopath for acne, takes a different approach—one that gets to the root cause. A comprehensive health assessment is essential in the naturopathic approach to acne, including running lab work to assess digestion and nutritional status.

What Is Acne Naturopathy?

Acne naturopathy is a natural, holistic way of treating acne by looking at the whole body. Instead of just treating the symptoms on your skin, we dig deeper to find what's really causing the breakouts. That includes things like hormonal imbalances, poor gut health, stress, diet, and lifestyle.

Mitch uses a naturopathic approach to acne that supports healthy skin from the inside out. By balancing hormones, improving gut health, and reducing inflammation, we help your body restore balance so your skin can heal naturally. Learn more about how effective Naturopathy is for Acne.

Do Any of These Sound Like You?

You have acne that won't go away, even with good skincare
You break out around your period (hormonal acne)
You've developed post pill acne after stopping the pill
You have oily, acne prone skin with clogged pores
Your skin feels red, sore, and inflamed
You feel anxious or down about your skin
You've tried everything, but nothing seems to work long-term

What Causes Acne?

Acne happens when dead skin cells and excess oil block your pores. This creates the perfect environment for bacteria, which causes acne lesions like whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.

But acne isn't just about the skin—it's about what's happening inside your body. Here are some of the common root causes:

Hormonal imbalances (like excess androgens or stress hormones), which can lead to excessive oil production and stimulate an inflammatory response
Poor gut health and digestion
High blood sugar or insulin resistance
Chronic stress and lack of sleep
Processed foods and refined sugars
Liver congestion and poor detox pathways

How a Naturopath for Acne Can Help

At NXTLVL Health, we don't just look at your skin. We look at your whole body.

Mitch, our experienced skin naturopath, uses testing, deep health assessments, and natural treatments to understand what's going on. Hormone testing can provide a comprehensive view of how your body processes hormones. Then he builds a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and lifestyle.

  • Anti inflammatory foods to reduce acne flare ups
  • Gut healing protocols to improve digestion and restore balance, including incorporating fermented foods and probiotics
  • Herbal medicine to balance hormones and support liver function
  • Essential nutrients like zinc, vitamin A, and omega-3s to support healthy skin
  • Stress management techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, and sleep hygiene

Why Gut Health Matters for Clearer Skin

Many people don't realise that poor gut health can lead to acne. If your gut isn't working well, toxins can build up, inflammation can rise, and your immune system can become overactive. The microbiome plays a crucial role in overall health, including skin health. This can trigger inflammation and acne development.

Mitch focuses on improving gut health with probiotic rich foods, herbal remedies, and gut-healing nutrients. When your gut is healthier, your skin gets healthier too.

Hormonal Acne and the Naturopathic Approach

Hormonal acne usually shows up on the jawline, chin, and neck—especially around your cycle. It may also appear after stopping oral contraceptive pills (post pill acne). Hormonal acne affects approximately 80% of women between the ages of 11 to 30. Naturopathic doctors focus on balancing hormone levels naturally, using herbs, nutrients, and lifestyle shifts that support hormone regulation without the side effects of medication.

We also look at your stress hormones, blood sugar, and liver function to make sure your body can detox properly and keep your skin clear. Detoxification is the process of eliminating toxins from the body, and it is important for overall health and well-being.

Foods That Help and Hurt

Helpful Foods for Acne Prone Skin:

  • Whole foods like leafy greens, berries, and cruciferous veggies
  • Lean proteins and healthy fats (avocado, nuts, seeds)
  • Anti inflammatory spices like turmeric and ginger
  • Probiotic rich foods like sauerkraut, kefir, and miso

Foods That May Trigger Acne Flare Ups:

  • Refined sugars and sugary drinks
  • Dairy products (in some people)
  • Processed foods and trans fats
  • Excess caffeine or alcohol

Topical Treatments vs. Natural Support

Topical treatments like tea tree oil or salicylic acid can help manage acne on the surface. But they don't fix the internal imbalances causing acne. High cortisol levels can lead to inflammation and contribute to acne development. That's why we focus on a naturopathic approach to acne that treats the root cause while still supporting the skin from the outside.
