In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler tackles a widespread myth in the skin health world: that Candida is the root cause of acne and other chronic skin conditions. While Candida overgrowth may play a role in certain symptoms, Robyn explains why it's rarely the primary driver — and why simply following anti-Candida diets or supplement protocols often fails to deliver lasting results.Drawing on over a decade of clinical experience, Robyn walks through the deeper terrain issues that allow Candida to thrive: compromised digestion, heavy metal overload, mineral depletion, chronic stress, poor liver detoxification, and more. She shares how addressing these root factors — rather than targeting Candida in isolation — creates a stronger foundation for true skin healing.If you've struggled with recurring acne, eczema, or rashes and suspect Candida may be involved, this episode offers a clear, research-informed perspective on what it takes to support your body and restore balance long-term.Listen now!Highlights:Why Candida is typically a symptom — not the root cause — of chronic skin issuesKey internal factors that contribute to Candida overgrowth.The link between Candida and skin conditions such as fungal acne, eczema, dermatitis, and histamine-related flaresWhy temporary improvements from Candida protocols often don't lastThe importance of assessing nutrient status, hormone balance, and digestive healthHow functional testing and a whole-body approach can lead to sustainable skin healingConnect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.com
