I always love looking back and figuring out what was the most popular article on my website for the previous year. In 2020, the most popular article was all about acne. I wonder if this has something to do with all the maskne (mask acne) people have been experiencing? When working with acne, I focus on a number of things including skin care, diet, lifestyle, hormone health, inflammation, blood sugar balancing and stress management. I also offer facial acupuncture for acne and scarring but there is still a lot that can be done for acne through virtual phone or video appointments.

Back when I worked in retail at the mall I kept hearing a song play in the background with the lyrics "I get nervous when I'm happy...'cause what goes up must come down". This is a feeling that so many people with anxiety and depression can relate to. Relaxation Induced Anxiety (RIA) is a phenomenon that was first studied in the 80s. While many people benefit from relaxation techniques, some people actually experience more anxiety after using these techniques. A 2019 paper we...nt over some theories about why this might happen. People with RIA may find that relaxation techniques make them more aware of their body tension which makes them more anxious. Also, some people with RIA prefer to stay anxious because constant anxiety is less painful to them compared to feeling relaxed one moment and then anxious the next. There's a safety and sense of control in the anxiety which creates a fear of relaxation. Health is never a one size fits all thing. If relaxation techniques haven't worked for you, don't be discouraged. Talk to your healthcare provider to come up with a plan that suits your needs. PMID: 31450137
