After years of struggling with persistent adult acne, Olivia Pierson reached a breaking point.

The 34-year-old TV personality and influencer, known for her appearances on WAGs, Relatively Nat and Liv, and her close friendship with Kim Kardashian, had been using birth control to manage her skin condition. However, she decided to take a break from the medication. As a result, Pierson started experiencing breakouts in new areas of her face. She tried popular remedies like spironolactone, doxycycline, and accutane, but none of them worked for her.

Her frustration led her to explore a new approach to improve her skin health and address her issues from the inside out. While browsing on YouTube, she came across Katarina Grabic, the founder of Glow Beauty — The Gut Lab Inc., a program that focuses on using holistic methods to treat the underlying causes of external skin problems such as acne.

"I didn't want to rely on more chemicals or over-the-counter medications," Pierson shared with We. "Katarina provided me with valuable insights about the significance of gut health and its impact on various aspects of the body, including conditions like psoriasis and acne. This perspective was truly enlightening for me as it highlighted the importance of healing from the core."

Pierson decided to sign up for Grabic's Full Reset treatment program after a consultation, which is priced at $2,400. She mentioned, "Investing in yourself may not always be the cheapest option, but it's worth it."

Grabic also offers the Medical Reset program for $3,175 and an annual membership for $10,000. Payment plans are available for all services, and each program is tailored to meet the individual needs of the client.

Grabic, located in Los Angeles, is not only a board certified and licensed acupuncturist but also a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to being a registered nutritionist and herbalist, Grabic is certified in biological medicine and somatic energetics.

Pierson's specific plan involves a six to eight week process that focuses on a very clean diet, eliminating sugar, dairy, and alcohol. Initially, Grabic identified that Pierson had candidiasis, a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the body, often triggered by high sugar intake. This infection commonly manifests on the skin.

"I used to not eat the healthiest, so this was quite a surprise for me. I quickly noticed that my brain fog disappeared. Changing my diet gave me a clear mind. By cutting out unhealthy foods, I was able to rid my body of certain chemicals and even parasites that were causing flare-ups, some of which even became cystic," Pierson shared with Us.

Pierson shared that as she cleansed, Grabic would check in. Grabic would examine her tongue, looking at the patterns and colors. Pierson learned that a white film on the tongue indicates candidiasis, while a pink tongue signifies good blood flow. In addition, Grabic would also test her blood.

Based on the results of the examinations, Grabic would determine the supplements that Pierson needed. She would also prescribe Sips, a blend of various natural ingredients tailored to Pierson's specific condition.

Us also caught up with Grabic, who explained, “The tongue shows me what is going on internally within the body using ancient traditional Chinese medicine.”

She explained that patients are often complex, not as straightforward as some may think. Simply suggesting milk thistle or omega supplements as a quick fix does not get to the underlying issue.

Pierson noticed a change on her face when she started taking Sips, iron, and liver supplements. Her skin gradually cleared up, thanks to the detoxing properties of the liver and its ability to maintain collagen levels. Collagen helps improve skin moisture, elasticity, and hydration.

Since partnering with Grabic, Pierson has simplified her skincare routine. She has gone back to basics by using a cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF. Additionally, she has slowly reintroduced retinol to address scarring, which is her next challenge to tackle.

Pierson wants to encourage others to find the “root cause” of their skin issues now that she knows the importance of it.

"Medication can be effective, but it may only provide temporary relief. It's crucial to understand your body and pay attention to what you eat. The food you consume doesn't just affect your weight or mood, it can also be the underlying cause of your skin problems," Pierson emphasized.

Grabic shared that Pierson’s most recent lab tests came back with “no flags” and is a result of her “hard work” of eating clean and prioritizing internal health to get glowing skin.
