whey protein and acne - what’s the link

@rebeccagunningnaturopath

Now this won’t happen in every body, but in susceptible individuals, whey can affect the skin and lead to acne. It does this by:

• Increasing a hormone called IGF-1, which drives oestrogen & testosterone levels in the body. This presents on the skin as oily, red, and cystic acne. Other associated symptoms include menstrual changes, brain fog, hair loss, hirsuitism & even PCOS!
