Clearer Skin Starts Within A Functional Medicine Approach to Acne

Acne is more than just a surface-level concern—it’s often a sign of underlying imbalances in the body. Our team at Columbus OBGYN takes the time to understand your personal history with acne, identifying the root causes that may be contributing to persistent breakouts. By addressing these underlying factors, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to support long-term skin health.

Identifying the Root Cause

Acne can be triggered by a variety of internal and external factors, including hormone imbalances, inflammation, gut health issues, and lifestyle habits. During your visit, we conduct a thorough assessment of your health history, diet, stress levels, and other key factors that influence skin health. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to pinpoint the underlying causes of your breakouts rather than just treating the symptoms.

How Lifestyle Factors Influence Acne

Your daily habits play a significant role in your skin’s health. We examine the following areas to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs:

1

Diet

Certain foods can contribute to inflammation, hormone fluctuations, and imbalances in gut health, all of which impact acne. We focus on creating a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory diet to support clear skin.

2

Exercise

Movement is essential for circulation, detoxification, and stress reduction. However, over-exercising or improper post-workout skincare can sometimes worsen acne. We help you find the right balance.

3

Stress Management

Chronic stress triggers hormonal shifts that can lead to breakouts. We incorporate stress-reducing techniques to help restore balance and support overall well-being.

4

Sleep Quality

Poor sleep can contribute to inflammation, increased stress hormones, and slower skin healing. Optimizing sleep habits is a key component of our holistic acne treatment plan.

Your Personalized Path to Clearer Skin

Functional medicine is about addressing the whole person—not just the symptoms. Through in-depth evaluation and targeted strategies, we create a plan that supports your body’s natural ability to heal. Whether it involves dietary adjustments, stress management, or addressing hormonal imbalances, our goal is to provide sustainable, long-term improvements in your skin health.
