recently I had a question in my live

show why acne during my period every

other month the ovaries take turn an

ovulation so this month it might be at

the left ovary next month it might be

the right ovary and that correlates

sometimes with acne that develops on the

jawline and one side one month the next

month it’s on the alternate side which

is actually quite interesting but let’s

talk about what actually causes the acne

during menstruation when you’re having

your period if we look at the entire

month we have several things happening

at day 14 when you’re ovulating you have

the high spike of estrogen about a week

later you get the high spike with

progesterone but during menstruation you

have the lowest amount of estrogen and

the lowest amount of progesterone so the

question is why are you getting acne if

these two are alone well there’s another

hormone involved and that is called

testosterone now testosterone is a type

of androgen and that is a male hormone

but even women have a certain amount of

it but if there’s too much of it in a

female body you start getting facial

hair acne hair loss deeper voice things

like that now the ovaries produce

several types of androgens which can

then turn into testosterone or DHT okay

also your adrenal glands also make

androgens which can also turn into

testosterone but the majority or the

lion’s share is produced by the ovaries

so what’s happening with acne is you’re

getting too much testosterone for the

amount of estrogen and progesterone

that’s in your body so we have this

ratio that just shows too much

testosterone and testosterone and DHT

enlarges the sebaceous gland or the

sweat gland and that can then release

more sebum or more oil and there can be

bacteria involved and then that results

in acne so acne just occurs if there’s

too much antigen you see this in puberty

you see this in another condition called

polycystic ovarian syndrome in that case

you have

much insulin that’s converted to

androgen in this case it’s a little bit

different because it’s cyclic in other

words it doesn’t happen all month long

it happens during this period of time so

we know there’s just an imbalance

there’s too little estrogen and

progesterone and just too much

testosterone now the big question is

what do you do about this there’s a

really really good remedy that can help

you and it’s called dim dim is a super

concentrated cruciferous product the

there’s certain phytochemicals in

cruciferous vegetables and dim is like

consuming two pounds of these vegetables

in one pill so it is an androgen

antagonist so it helps lower and urgent

and it helps with acne and helps with

cystic acne on your back so it can be

very helpful now dim is also helpful in

balancing estrogen so it acts as a

phytoestrogen that can increase estrogen

and it also can eliminate excessive

amounts of estrogen too now it does not

give you more estrogen that you already

have it helps to balance the ratios of

good versus bad estrogen so it’s very

beneficial for women that are fighting

breast cancer and sometimes they’re

concerned about it being a phytoestrogen

that can increase more estrogen but it

really helps the ratio so it helps to

balance both estrogen and androgen now

there’s two other hormones that may be

involved that you might want to look at

one is cortisol because cortisol is a

hormone produced by the adrenals and a

lot of times when people go through

stress that can generate more adrenal

hormones and more testosterone so you

want to monitor your stress level and

then of course we have insulin if you

were to help to normalize your insulin

levels that would also help to normalize

testosterone as well and that’s done

with keto intamin fasting if you’re new

to my channel I put a link down below

you definitely want to check that out

because that can help not just with your

skin but with weight and many many other

conditions anyway that’s what causes

acne and this is the recommendation
