Healthy Skin, Healthy Hormones: Your Body In Balance

If you have been struggling with your skin and battling acne and nothing seems to make it go away, the solution could be getting your hormones back in balance!

As we begin our special series "Your Body In Balance" with Dr. Neal Barnard and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll the pair are joined by twin sisters Nina and Randa Nelson whose struggle with acne led to bouts of depression and took a toll on both the budding entertainers' careers. During bad flare ups they would shut themselves inside their home and shut out their friends and the outside world. It seemed as though pimples would plague them their entire lives and that all hope was lost. That is until they changed what their diet.

On this episode, Dr. Barnard explains why our hormones are affected by food and how if what we eat causes them to go haywire, the solution to healthier skin might begin at the table.

Their story is just one of many featured in Dr. Barnard's new book, Your Body In Balance which will be released February 4.
