Naturopathy with Lexie, Melbourne (2026)

06/08/2023

The Lexie you thought you knew, died sometime last year.

My naturopathic style, love life, diet, lifestyle, personal beliefs and LOCATION has all shifted in a major way.

Travelling & moving to Portugal has given me a much needed break from running a business & other life stuff. However, both travel & relocation are exciting and incredibly stressful exercises for two already over cooked adrenal glands.

I wasn’t exactly peeling myself off the floor, chronically ill or unable to get out of bed. Fortunately, even when I’m struggling I have always been in relatively good health. But I was TIRED. Physically & energetically. My nerves were frazzled, I was quick to tears, irritable, anxious, tired & wired, sleeping 10 hours a night (and another hour or two on the couch in the afternoon) I literally slept the first 3 months after we arrived in Lisbon.

My liver wasn’t happy, my bowels weren’t happy & so my hormones weren’t happy. PMS made me pretty unpleasant to be around & I was experiencing painful periods for the first time in my life (whole new level of empathy for anyone living with chronic pain)

Only in the last few weeks have I felt a really solid shift in my physical body & nervous system, after almost a year of dedicating myself to rest & total nutritional nourishment.

So many times I’ve witnessed clients in that moment between “is this ever going to get better” and “something has changed and I feel so so much better almost overnight!” ~ lately I’ve gotten to feel that again myself.

It got me reflecting on how the body really does have our best interests at heart, always. We aren’t separate from our bodies - we ARE our bodies. Every physical sign & symptom is a message from me to me.

It’s not a punishment. When you understand biology, all symptoms are simply the body’s way of protecting you & communicating that an organ or tissue needs more support.

“After an excellent meal, body and spirit experience a very special sense of well-being. Physically, the face lights up, while the brain refreshes itself; the facial line reddens, the eyes shine, and a gentle warmth permeates all the limbs.

Psychologically, the spirit becomes more alert, fantasy more lively… In addition, one frequently finds united around the same tables all factors which make society possible: love, friendship, business, speculation, power, protection, ambition, intrigue— that is why a feast brings fruits of all kinds.” ~ J.A Brillant-Savarin

Want to say hasta la vista to hormonal acne?

❶ GET YOUR BLOOD TESTED - and look out for testosterone that is in the high end of normal or elevated. This could be the cause of your acne & then you can start to balance your testosterone with some of the next tips!

❷ REPLACE ADDED SUGAR & REFINED CARBS - with stevia, xylitol and whole fruits (nature’s candy) this plus adequate protein will help to balance your insulin & blood sugar levels which (when out of whack) can drive high testosterone & acne.

❸ SLOW THE F*CK DOWN - running on a cocktail of caffeine, carbs & cardio training creates the perfect storm for acne because it can worsen the effect of stress hormones on acne & mess with the delicate balance of oestrogen, progesterone & testosterone.

❹ UP THE ROUGHAGE FIBRE & HYDRATION - get yourself passing a good p**p daily. You clear hormones & toxins through poo so constipation or diarrhoea can mean you aren’t clearing oestrogen properly (hello PMS breakouts)

❺ EAT FOODS THAT SUPPORT LIVER DETOX OF HORMONES - these are rich in magnesium, iron, zinc, B vitamins, protein & vitamin C like grass fed meat, organic eggs, nuts & seeds, green leafy vegetables & brightly coloured fruits.

🙌🏼 Incorporate these tips into your day to day life and I PROMISE you will thank me for it with happier hormones.

I'm back with the sassy infographics 👋🏼

Just for 1% out there who need me to clarify, this is what I suggest that you DON'T do. 
Friends don't let friends: 
❌ Use scalding hot water to clean their make up off
❌ Use chemical sunscreens that's been sitting in the sun all summer
❌ Drown their pores in cheap and nasty make-up
❌ Use micellar water or make-up wipes. Just don't.
❌ Attempt to scrub away the outer most layer of skin  
Tag a friend who needs to be (in a nice way) publicly called out for still doing any of the above 😅

AND if you are an account with any interest in promoting skin health, it is your CIVIL DUTY to share this post with your followers. I don't make the rules.

Part of my job is teaching acne sufferers what NOT to do. I take that very seriously. So seriously in fact, that I have a free masterclass that I'm hosting live on Zoom TONIGHT at 7pm Melb Time 🥳

It's called CLEAR SKIN SECRETS: How to Clear Your Acne & Radiate Confidence [without more pills & potions that don't even work!] 
This one is for you if:
👉🏼Your skin is sabotaging your self esteem
👉🏼You're sick of the bandaids & quick fixes
👉🏼You're fed-up and don't know what to do next
👉🏼You just want to start seeing some PROGRESS

You'll learn:
👉🏼What you need to focus on right now to clear your skin (and what you dont!)
👉🏼Which quick fixes are doing more harm than good & the approach you need instead (it is the opposite of everything you've been told!)
👉🏼The BIGGEST secret the wellness industry isn't telling you about (this will blow your MIND)
👉🏼Why feeling embarrassed, disheartened and frustrated with your skin is slowing down your progress

WHY ACNE DRUGS DON’T WORK [AND WHAT TO FOCUS ON INSTEAD]

💊 Spironolactone (Aldactone) is a diuretic blood pressure drug that is prescribed in acne because it can reduce the effect of hormones on sebum production in skin (less sebum = less acne) or so they say. It’s used even though Spiro isn’t technically indicated for use in acne (according to the Food & Drug Administration)

So, Spironolactone inhibits sebum production which means less oily skin?

👉🏼 Perhaps, but there is conflicting scientific evidence as to whether this mechanism actually delivers long term results in acne.

There is a lack of high quality clinical trials proving that spironolactone is safe and effective for the treatment of acne.
In the real world of patients and doctors, when prescribed at the high dose of 200mg/day for at least three months, clinicians anecdotally report improvements in their clients with very inflamed, hormonal acne when used in combination with a combined oral contraceptive drug like the pill (a whole other kettle of fish).

However in the follow up period after treatment, acne lesions returned to baseline (eg pre-treatment levels)

Lower doses of spironolactone seem to be less effective in acne, with the scientific evidence being of low quality.

👇🏽The Short Version?

Spironolactone can be effective but you might also have to take the pill at the same time to get results - a double whammy of hormone interrupting medication and all the risks associated

These drugs seem to clear skin because they suppress the effects of hormones like androgens on the sebum glands.

❌ If you don’t address the underlying cause of androgen excess, the acne will keep coming back after you stop taking the drugs, because the glands will respond to androgens again ❌

👉🏼 This is just one example of why acne drugs don’t work. Want to know which other medications are commonly prescribed in acne, how they’re supposed to work (and how they don’t address the root cause?)

SO YOUR GP SAYS YOU’RE “TOTALLY HEALTHY AND YOUR BLOOD TESTS ARE NORMAL” 
Buuuutttt…. You have acne sooo…. 
Something is definitely up 🥵 
Here’s what I look for when helping people get to the root cause of their acne: 
✔️ Are there signs of hormone excess? Psst this doesn’t just mean that your hormones fall within the normal range - “normal” hormone levels can still trigger acne! 
✔️ Are there signs of blood sugar disruption? Acne is often a result of a metabolic issue in the skin - that means you’re not handling glucose (sugar) so well. Unfortch this is often compounded by gut inflammation and fungal/yeast overgrowth in the gut. 
✔️ Are there signs of acidity and inflammation in the blood? Acne is an inflammatory condition, so we want to check for anything that is adding fuel to this heathen fire 
✔️ And are there any blatant nutritional deficiencies that are slowing down your skin’s ability to heal. That could be a mineral deficiency like zinc or a vitamin deficiency like vitamin D or B12.

🍑 We can get so much juicy juicy info from basic routine bloods that your doctor glances at for 2 seconds and then dismisses (bc they are trained to look for overt excesses or deficiencies + they’re overworked + under supported and have to help people with everything from thrush to arthritis in a 10 minute consult)

🤓 Nit picky naturopaths like myself will read between the lines and piece together the whole story - even if your blood tests are “normal”!

🍑 Then we resolve the issues we find with dietary changes, nutritional supplementation & herbal brews.

🙌🏼 When we get the internal stuff changing, the skin will follow!

OKAY if you lurved this info and want to know more about my strategy for clearing acne by using a mix of nerd-science and herb magic then you will not want to miss the FREE MASTERCLASS I’m hosting next week!

I give away my step-by-step formula and heaps of free insight into how to clear your skin so that you can radiate confidence 🔥

4 THINGS I LEARNED THE HARD WAY (so you don't have to) 
❌ I wasted a ton of time and energy trawling YouTube (and the internet at large) for answers and trying to find a strategy for my acne. There's SO much conflicting information out there (and most of it is useless)

✅ Spending my time consistently implementing the recommendations that I got from my uni degree and learning how to trust the process got me results quicker than jumping ship every two weeks to try some new hack I saw on YouTube. 
❌ I got the maths wrong and I spent WAY more money on random supplements & skin care (literally thousands) because I thought paying someone for expert help was too expensive.

✅ So my lesson for you is to start investing wisely in your health and your skin in order to save both time and money on well-marketed fads that just don't work. 
❌ I was restricting everything and trying to eat "perfectly". Which meant I was feeling the FOMO, cutting out all the potential acne trigger foods & then feeling guilty when I ended up giving in to hardcore sugar cravings… 
✅ What I really needed was a sustainable plan to replace MY personal trigger foods with skin loving foods WITHOUT the FOMO & cravings sending me on a loop. Now I can even eat those foods without breaking out. 
❌ I was letting acne control every part of my day. I'd look in the mirror and feel shame, embarrassment & hatred towards my poor skin (which of course, made it worse)

✅ With some help, I began to adopt a calm and self-loving approach towards clearing my skin, using tools to let go of acne anxiety & other yuck feelings

Can you relate to any of this? 
Have you been hanging out in the ❌ category for WAY too long? I know I was. Now my job is to help you swap over to the ✅ crowd. We have t-shirts! 
PS. Want my exact clear skin strategy so that you can clear your acne and radiate confidence without wasting time, money and energy on things that aren’t working?

Come along to The Clear Skin Series kicking off on Monday 13/2! I’m hosting a week of free training to help you ditch the prescriptions & step into your clearest skin yet.

6 of the most UNDERRATED skin foods out there (and why I love them) 👇🏼 
🥒 Organic cucumber with the skin on for cooling, anti-inflammatory, hydrating goodness
🐟 Oily fish like sardines for their high omega-3 fatty acid content + skin loving nutrients; iodine & vitamins A,D and E.
🍍 Tropical fruits like papaya and pineapple for their anti-inflammatory antioxidants & enzymes which support digestion
🥩 Liver Pate [chicken or calf liver] is one of the best sources of vitamin A which regulates oil flow, keratin production, speeds up wound healing & supports healthy hormone balance
🐮 Grass fed bone broth for a dose of fat soluble vitamins, collagen & gelatine for skin integrity and elasticity!

👉🏼 If you haven’t tried these before, mix it up this week & experiment! You might find a new favourite.
 HOT TIP: smash sardines with salt, paprika, pepper & chilli flakes. Serve with avocado on buckwheat toast for a super filling quick meal that delivers 1-2g of omega-3 fatty acids + calcium and much more 🥑🥑

CONFIDENT & CLEAR student journey 👇🏽

I LOVE this story. This lovely lady joined the last live round of C&C after experiencing years of acne, thyroid & gut health issues.

Through C&C we identified her acne root cause [we suspected it might be SIBO -small intestine bacterial overgrowth-] and after further testing, turns out that we were right!

After working through C&C, joining the group coaching sessions & following the strategies, she saw fewer breakouts, less redness and started to piece together some other symptoms that had been bothering her.

After completion of C&C, she went on to work with a SIBO practitioner to get 1:1 support. Months of commitment to treatment later and she’s sending me photos of her newfound GLOW!

I love this story because it goes to show how a collaborative approach can get results.

I’m so pleased that through C&C this student was able to:

✨ Understand her health better
✨ Identify her acne root cause
✨ Lay the foundations for healthy gut, hormones & skin

And when needed, go on to receive 1:1 support with resolving a tricky issue like SIBO that was causing her breakouts 🦋

Enrolments for Confident & Clear open on February 16th!

Will you be starting your journey to make-up free, GLOWING confidence!?

YES: there's more to hydration than just drinking water 🤯 [long post alert - save for later]
 
📣 "Drink 3+ litres of water a day if you want clear skin" They say.

And you're like: "GIRL, I 👏🏼 AM 👏🏼 TRYING"

But you're peeing constantly & your facialist still insists that your skin is dehydrated 🫠

So what's the deal!? Well - THERE'S TWO PARTS TO THE HYDRATION EQUATION 👇🏼

💦 Water enters our cells (gotta think on a cellular level when it comes to health) via osmosis which means that it follows salt. Water follows salt to create equilibrium in the fluid of our cells and tissues. We need minerals + water for healthy cell function.

👉🏼 If you are drinking a TON of water but lack electrolytes (like sodium & potassium) then you are less likely to absorb & utilise that h2o. Basically it's going to go right through you. In a mineral depleted state, excess water can flush minerals out further (because its a game of mineral:water concentration) 
Cells under stress will burn through mineral electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium & bicarb) so we need to stay on top of our intake.

THIS IS WHY ATHLETES DRINK GATORADE 🏃🏼‍♀️ - they're churning through the electrolytes & drinking water without electrolytes does not rehydrate.  
You don't need gatorade though (with its 30g+ sugar)
 
💦❌ SO instead of drinking MORE water, eat a piece of fruit 🍉✅ after each meal with a pinch of Maldon or Celtic sea salt (which is better than Himalayan IMO)

🥭 Fruit is a glorious source of electrolytes & natural sugar to help your cells function & remain juicy & hydrated. A squeeze of lemon or lime with the salt elevates fruit to another LEVEL.

Another factor for skin hydration is the integrity of your skin cells + your cholesterol and fat intake (but that's a story for another post…

Most skin care professionals and doctors miss the nuances involved with the foundations of healthy skin (like hydration)

If you want more free & natural clear skin tips, make sure you like & follow! I'm running a free training series all about acne in February and I'd love to see you there (turn on your notifications and I'll see you there!)

3 INGREDIENTS OR LESS 👌🏼👌🏼
 
Feel free to go rogue - the main thing to focus on when creating a meal or snack that nourishes your skin is this:
 
🥑 Choose your protein & fat source first
🥑 Then add a wholefood source of carbs (fruits & veg or something like a rye crispbread if you need a vehicle for your condiments)
🥑 Mix in hydrolysed collagen powder into drinks or liquid snacks for a quick dose of skin loving protein
🥑 Avoid highly processed snack foods
🥑 Keep it simple!
 
Have you tried biltong before? Its basically strips of dried meat, similar to jerky. Check your local health food store for grass fed dehydrated meat snacks that will keep well in the car for long trips or even in your handbag.
 
Because everyone knows that gorgeous gorgeous girls carry dehydrated meat in their tote bags 💅🏼
 
Enjoy! & if you have a certified skin friendly snack that is your absolute go to - we want to know what it is! Share in the comments 👇🏼
 
PS if you want more tips for healing acne through food, make sure you follow me & have notifications 🔔 switched on! I have a free training coming up to make sure your diet is set up for clear radiant skin. Sharing more details soon ❤️‍🔥
