overnight acne and peri menopause symptoms
My client had never suffered with acne before but woke up with a breakout that she just couldn’t budge, even as the owner of a natural skincare brand. She was also noticing changes in her periods and digestion and suspected she might be in peri menopause.
Nicole, 37yo business owner, never suffered with her skin until a period of high stress
My SKIN blood test revealed elevated thyroid antibodies and nutrient deficiencies so we got to work right away. My client already ate a really good diet and was avoiding many of the common acne culprits such as sugar and alcohol so I knew we were going to need to dig a little deeper to find out what was driving her symptoms.
We decided to run my favourite DNA panels to understand what role her genetics might be playing and sure enough we found plenty to work on. The tests showed that my client had some issues around a process called methylation, something our cells do every second and can impact out immune system, nervous system and detoxification abilities.
With these results we were able to further personalise her diet and supplement programme and within a month my clients breakouts had started to clear. With 4 months her periods had also greatly improved; from flooding to totally normal again. We were able to totally reverse her symptoms.
As my client had a family history of thyroid disease having this information about her health not only helped heal her skin, but also meant she could work preventatively to support her thyroid health in the long term.
What Nicole says..
“If you are unsure why your skin is breaking out or you feel that something isn't right with you then please reach out to Chloe! I am miles ahead of where I was only 4 months ago and my skin has healed and I feel like I understand what is going on with my body and how to nourish it in the right way.”
