In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler explores a stage of the healing journey that many people experience but few talk about openly: when you're doing all the right things, but your skin hasn't caught up yet.Robyn unpacks the physiological and emotional reasons why skin healing can feel more difficult before it starts to improve. From the deep internal work your body is doing at the cellular level, to the emotional toll of not seeing visible results right away, this conversation offers perspective, science-backed insight, and support for anyone currently in what she calls "the Valley of Despair."If you’ve ever questioned whether your healing plan is working, felt frustrated after months of effort, or wondered why your skin is the last to reflect your progress—this episode is for you. Tune in now! If you’re ready to stop guessing and start healing with a data-driven, root-cause approach, we’re here to help.
