Acne and Hormones

Hormonal changes during puberty can lead to increased acne, particularly with elevated androgen levels. Insulin plays a crucial role in this process, as a diet high in glycemic load can exacerbate the problem by stimulating mTOR and further increasing testosterone and sebum production. To mitigate acne, it's essential to focus on a balanced diet with minimal processed foods and to manage insulin spikes effectively.
