CLIENT MATERIALS
Are you desperate to treat your clients suffering with acne but you're not sure how?
If you're feeling frustrated by the lack of proven nutrition strategies for treating acne, you're not alone. There is very little acne nutrition education for professionals like you which is why I created this Certificate in Functional Nutrition for the Holistic Treatment of Adult Acne
You'll learn the origins of acne at the cellular-level so you have a depth of understanding that most practitioners lack.
You'll take a journey through the multi-faceted causes of acne: inflammation, various hormones and insulin resistance. Including perimenopause.
You'll understand the important link between gut-health and acne formation. And how the skin microbiome also plays an essential role when it comes to healing acne.
You'll also investigate the role that the body's own detoxification systems can have on acne formation especially when those systems breakdown.
And, of course, you'll learn about the nutritional causes AND cures for acne. Giving you a toolkit of nutritional strategies to use with your own clients to get amazing results.
And as an exciting bonus, you'll also learn to help your client erase acne-scarring using an integrative blend of natural skincare products (they can make themselves) and holistic nutrition for skin-repair.

The course was in detail and covered all topics about nutrition to help my business grow.
Grishma Solanki
This course is easy to follow, but rich in content. I learned so much about what is in different foods and how they affect the skin. The lessons are in words I easily understand and can translate to truly using in my practice
MELISSA BERRY
So informative and evidence-based!
Elona Dahary
I loved the course because it made me look at what I was eating and have a clear understanding of what I should be eating and why. I don’t want to be a diet nutritionist. Skin is my thing, so the information in this course is fantastic on knowledge for ageing well.
Debbi Cronin
Loved the layout of the course materials, felt seamless working through the content.
Star is a pro, excellent at explaining things which could be otherwise complicated but her delivery and down to earth approach make learning this enjoyable.
