Hey {{firstname}},
Time is whittling away for the Naturally Clear Skin Bootcamp – it’s starting on March 15th 2015, which means there’s less than 4 days left to join!
The 6 week Bootcamp program is going to give you the step-by-step tools, motivation, and support you need to change your lifestyle for real this time and clear your skin for good.
You can still join from the 15th on but the price is going to be going up afterward, and you’re going to miss out on the AMAZING deal – which is that when you join before midnight on March 15th, you get the Naturally Clear Skin Academy as a completely free bonus (the Academy includes everything I have ever made to help you on your journey to clear skin).
Perhaps the reason you haven’t signed up yet is that you still might have some hesitations about whether this program is right for you.
That’s totally normal, and almost all my past participants had quite a few hesitations before signing up as well, but found that it was well worth it when they saw the results in their skin and how they feel about themselves.
So in this blog post, we’re going to go over some things I’ve been asked about the Bootcamp, as you might be wondering about them too, so here they are:
Will this help with MY type of acne?
People have seen amazing results with my program no matter what type of acne they have…. the lifestyle changes I guide you through address the underlying factors for all types of acne.
Whether it’s pustules, nodules, cystic, whiteheads, blackheads – and no matter where it is – forehead, cheeks, neck, chin, back – and no matter what it’s caused by – hormones, gut, stress, coming off the pill etc – and no matter how long you’ve had it. I’m confident that my program will help you.
I want to join but I can’t start on the 15th, or I have to go away for a week in the middle. How long do I get access for?
When you join, you get access to all the material and the forums for life.
This is an incredibly generous offer and it affords you the ability to do the course whenever it works best for you, at your own pace, and still get the support you need.
So it’s best to join now to get this sweet bonus offer and before the price goes up, even if you can’t do the course right away! 🙂
What’s are the meal plans like… are they paleo, vegan, or some other category of diet?
It is a whole foods diet that is dairy, gluten, soy, and refined sugar free. It includes vegetables, fruits, beans & legumes, non gluten grains, squash & sweet potatoes, coconut products, meat, eggs, seafood. If you are vegetarian, there are plenty of vegetarian meals included.
If you have intolerances or just don’t like certain foods, there is an absolute ton of variety in the meal plans so you can just double up ones that you like and eliminate ones you don’t. It’s not so much the meal plan as it is the principles behind it, which means you don’t have to follow the menu exactly.
Are the meals going to be really complicated and time consuming?
The meals will range from 10 minutes to 45 minutes to make and are not overly complicated.
The recipes and meal plans are extremely varied with new recipes for each day in order to make sure things don’t get boring, but I encourage picking and choosing ones you think look good and making large portions that will span several meals, in order to cut down on kitchen time and make this all much more do-able!
What about the workouts? Are they going to be really hard and time consuming?
Well they might be kind of tough but this is a Bootcamp, baby! 🙂 Oh, I kid, I kid. The workouts are for all experience levels, I just show you how to modify them if they are beyond your current ability. And they will take less than 2 hours per week to complete.
Can I do it if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
You can (with clearance from your primary health provider), but I would definitely make the diet changes much more gradually than we’re doing it in the Bootcamp and avoid certain supplements. And maybe take it a bit easier on the workouts.
If you jump into lifestyle changes really quickly like we’re doing, you will often go through a ‘detox’ period where a lot of toxins get released from your body all at once to be eliminated. This could end up being harmful to your baby and we don’t want that.
Can I do it if I’m a man?
The Love Vitamin and my programs are obviously geared towards women, but pretty much all the information still applies to men and I’ve had a ton of men in the past get amazing results with my methods.
There’s also a couple very active men participating in our forums.
So if you can get past me calling you a ‘chick’ in general correspondence, then by all means, get on board! 😉
I want to join but I’m not sure I can afford to?
I’d say you can’t afford not to! This needs to be thought of as an investment… how much of your life are you losing right now to acne? Probably a lot. is it really worth letting this get in the way of finally getting on the path to a better, happier life? Is it worth months and years of more suffering?
You owe it to yourself to make this leap. I can’t advise you on your finances, but most people tend to find the money for the things that really truly matter to them. I’ve also set up a payment plan to make it as easy as possible for you.
And here’s a big thing: people generally hate feeling like they wasted their money on something they never followed through on.
So when people commit their hard earned money to something like this, it infinitely increases the chances that they will actually do the work and get the results. Free isn’t always best, especially if the result, ie. clear skin, means a lot to you.
What format is the Bootcamp content in? Will I have to download it all?
The content is delivered as a mixture of written online content, downloadable written content (files will be mainly in PDF format and sometimes Microsoft Word format if it’s a worksheet), and videos. Videos can be downloaded but can also be watched online. So you will at least need some space on your computer or phone for quite a few PDF files.
I’ve tried everything! How do I know this will work when everything else hasn’t?
With all love and respect – can you truly say you’ve really tried everything? If you’ve never tried this holistic stuff then you can’t say you’ve tried everything. If you have tried holistic methods- are you sure you’ve tried everything in that arena and weren’t ignoring some crucial aspect of health and natural healing?
Have you dealt with self-sabotaging behaviours for good, and shed beliefs that may be holding you back despite your actions?
I’m not able to call you out and say you really haven’t tried everything, but I’m willing to bet that if you haven’t gotten the results you want, you’re missing something and the Bootcamp (or the Academy content) is probably going to cover it!
Who is the Bootcamp not for?
The Naturally Clear Skin Bootcamp is not for you if you’re after a quick-fix for your skin rather than a lifestyle change. Only join if you are committed to changing your skin and your life for good! — no excuses or ‘but I can’t because…’ defeatist attitudes, please.
I can’t fix you, but I can guide you. In the end, you are the one who has to do the work! 🙂 If you’re up for that and ready to take responsibility for your situation, then please get on board! I’d love to work with you!
Join the Bootcamp and Get Real Results in Your Skin Fast
I hope this cleared up some concerns for you. If so, please click here to join us in the Bootcamp (and as I said, you’ll get the complete Naturally Clear Skin Academy as a free bonus if you sign up before midnight on the 15th of March 2015).
If you have more questions or concerns about the Bootcamp (or Academy), please ask them in the comments section below and I will answer them for you!
Lots of love,
Tracy xo
Tracy. I would really like to try this boot camp out, but I’m kind of afraid. I am getting married on 12/13/14 and I would really like my face to be clear, but I also don’t want to do something to make it worse; there’s not much time to bounce back! I’m so tired of dealing with acne. It’s almost worth me just taking the chance! What do you think? Help! 🙂
Congrats Kelly 🙂
Hmm yes I understand that is a dilemma. People do tend to go through detox periods in the beginning… hopefully not to last that long though! Like a week or two usually, but I suppose you never know as sometimes people’s do last longer. I personally think the likelihood of things being much, much better or completely better by December is the much more likely scenario, and at the very very least, not any worse than it is currently.
Kelly – I totally understand where you’re coming from as well. Best of luck with your wedding plans! I can only offer my perspective, but something I’ve found with treating acne through diet and gentle skin care is that I’ve never had detox or purging periods like I did with antibiotics, chemical peels, and other conventional treatments. I think it might be because often diet and natural supplements soothe inflammation. You’re working with your body with holistic treatments, not against it. It’s worth a shot. 🙂
I am going to be traveling during this bootcamp. Will you be having this offer again?
Hi Dara 🙂
Yep…. so how it will work is that…. well from now until 6 weeks from now, each module will be posted week by week. But you can still join the Bootcamp at any time after we begin, and you will have access to all of the modules that have been posted so far. Essentially, it’s going to be an “evergreen” product that you can buy at any time and go through at your own pace and have full access to the forum and everything, but every so often, we will be doing a “live” run of the course where a big group of us start at the same time to go through it together, and do live coaching calls, each week etc, (like what’s happening now).
So, in short, you can definitely join the Bootcamp in the future. But I can’t say whether or not I will have this free Academy bonus again.
Do you offer a money back guarantee if this does not help at all? If so, what are the terms?
I am one of those who has tried everything (short of Accutane) and already to include limited diets that proclaim to clear skin, OCM and even eft.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Hi Jessica 🙂
The refund policy is that you can get a full refund within 30 days after purchasing it
Hey Tracy,
I’m considering doing the boot camp. Mostly because I would love the community and support. I’m hesitant because after months of food restrictions and still having acne, I decided that more than excluding from my diet I need to include love. I finally feel like I’m getting to a place where I love myself no matter what I look like. So I’m afraid of the food restrictions. What do you think?
Hey Ryssel, you don’t have to follow the food part exactly and just do what you feel is best for you. If restricting food isn’t doing the trick, then no need to be even stricter, in fact you might benefit from relaxing a bit. This is an all around program and isn’t only about food…. I like to say that trying to improve areas of your health that are strong is not going to make much of a difference… much more bang for your buck working on areas that you tend to ignore. And yes we will be going over lots of self love stuff 🙂
Hi Tracy,
I have been following your blog for a while now and did a lot of your recommendations like switching to all natural face products and as well just trying to not stress about the foods I eat. I also have been on Estroblock since May and progesterone cream due to my low progesterone after getting a hormone test done. (due to getting off the pill) I really want to do this boot camp to see if my acne is possibly from food allergies but I am concerned with how it will be after the boot camp. Is this the type of thing that after getting finished with the camp I have to continue eating gluten, daily and soy free to remain acne free? I understand there are many more parts to this program like self love which I need to do but I am still hesitate because I have done a candida type of diet before and it didn’t really help and I love food so its hard for me to give up everything but am willing to do whatever to get clear skin.
Hi Cali! 🙂 Well, the aim is to be a little stricter in the Bootcamp than usual with food just to get things on track quickly…. on the other hand if you are someone who has already been really strict with food and that’s not helping you might even relax a little for the Bootcamp! I’m all for people doing the parts of it that they need, not necessarily exactly as planned. People are going to work on different areas of their health, not just food. As for after the Bootcamp…. I even just wrote this today for one of the modules…. it’s not like you can never eat the foods that aren’t in the meal plans ever again. After you body gets stronger, healthier, you learn to manage your stress levels better, self love, etc and find just a good balance in your life, it’ll be a lot easier to be more lenient with food without breaking out. I eat varying degrees of all of those things now and junk and sugar sometimes, but I still try to keep the real foods diet as the basis … the daily “habit”, and then make exceptions. I don’t really feel restricted anymore at all! This is not just about the six week challenge (which will gives you the skills and the habits and the recipes and such) but also helping you find a healthy balance in your life that you can take on with you so you can keep your skin clear forever. And personally I don’t think being very strict about anything forever is really that much of a good thing. But you have to experiment and see what works for you to keep your skin clear in the long run since everyone’s skin is very individual 🙂
So I would really like to join the bootcamp and I wasn’t sure where I should ask this question, but I tried to pay here online a little bit ago and the payment wouldn’t go through. I can’t remember exactly the error that came up, but I think it was because I was paying with a debit card, not credit. Should that make a difference? I don’t have a credit card – so I’d be bummed if I could sign up and make the payment! What should I do?
Hi Rachel! Thanks so much for your interest in the Bootcamp, I’m excited that you’re wanting to sign up 🙂 Sorry about the inconvenience… I had to switch my payment processor recently and it doesn’t take debit cards… but I think I can set up an alternative for you. I’ll send you an email with deets 🙂
Hey Tracy,
I’ve been doing the caveman regimen for about a month now and I’ve seen major improvement of my mild acne. However, my skin is a mess of brown patches, discoloration and blotchiness that is due to the dead skin buildup. I’m pretty pale and no ones really said anything except for my mom who asks me why my face is two different colors. Is this a part of the process? I noticed you also had these patches but mine look a lot darker and are all over like I rubbed in dirt or something! I want to try your program but I’m not sure. Do you think it would finally help me to shed this dead skin and remain acne free?
Hi Francesca,
The brown patches and blotchiness all happened to me, it’s part of the healing. Yours may be worse, but it’s still part of the healing! As for the Bootcamp isn’t really about the Caveman specifically (although if you do join before tomorrow night, you will get the Caveman Regimen book included), but if you’re not already pairing the caveman with a healthy lifestyle, then yes it’s going to help you definitely heal your skin faster and get it back on track faster and heal any blotchiness and inflammation 🙂
Hey Tracy,
will any kinds of supplements be required during the bootcamp? Like expensive teas, vitamin supplements, detox pills and all kind of (organic) supplement stuff that is hard to find and has to be ordered in a special shop?
Regards,
Kris
Hi Kris, I recommend some supplements that over the years I have found to be the best ones for catapulting yourself towards clear skin but they aren’t required. Lots of people are successful without supplements, so you can always wait and see if you actually need them before giving them a shot
Hi Tracie
I am also interested in signing up today! But I only have a debit card available to use. Could you hook me up? Thanks in advance. 🙂
I have missed out on an amazing deal. 🙁 I sent you an email to support@thelovevitamin.com explaining my situation. Could you please review and get to me ASAP. Thank you Tracie.
Best Regards,
Dels
HI Tracy,
I am feeling so desperate and hopeless about my acne right now. About six months ago, I was diagnosed with PCOS and immediately went on the pill. As soon as I went on it, I had started breaking out horribly. I went off after about a month. Ever since then, my breakouts have gotten worse and worse. Right now I have severe cystic acne. I am soooo confused because I have been doing the paleo diet pretty consistently since May, I take various supplements like estroblock, vitex, probiotics, and vitamin d, but my acne is just worsening. I am also on the bio-identical progesterone cream. I have been told to just be patient, that my liver is probably detoxing, etc. All of these things, but it is sooo hard to feel hopeful and optimistic when things are just getting worse. How is it that my acne is getting worse when I seem to be doing all the right things? I am 5’8 and weigh 127 lbs, so i am not overweight like other people with PCOS. My insulin levels are low, blood sugar is normal, testoserone levels are even normal, no inflammation…. the weird thing is that even though i am taking vitex and bio-identical hormone cream, my progesterone is still extremeley low. i am think that might be an issue. or that i might have excess candida. Back in february, i had a bacterial vaginosis infection that lasted three months. and at the tail end of that infection is when i started getting acne. anyway sorry for so much information. i am just having those moments right now where i don’t want to get out of my bed because i feel so ashamed and so low…. aw thanks for reading. xoxox
Hi Cara, sorry to hear what you’re going through 🙁 You might have a different kind of PCOS than the typical…. like…. if your estrogen and progesterone is low but testosterone stays normal you can end up with PCOS… this is usually caused by extreme stress, not eating enough (ie low body weight and fat), excess exercise, etc. I don’t know if that’s you, but something to look into…. look up Stefani Ruper’s book about PCOS. PCOS Unlocked which explains this. Also, yes, candida and gut problems could also be factoring into it. I can’t really say what it is exactly… but I’m sending you love x
Hi Tracy,
Thanks for the reply and the great recommendations! My acne is actually starting to get better since I last posted on here, so I am feeling more optimistic than before. A few months ago, I was a little underweight, but i am gaining it back via muscle mass through yoga and lifting weights. My uncle is an acupuncturist, and he brought my case to a roundtable of thirty different doctors who are all alternatively minded, so they set up a protocol for me with some new supplements. I think the new protocol is working!! Instead of getting cystic acne, my blackheads are all now coming to the surface. Is that a detoxing sign? thanks again . <3 <3 <3 Cara
Hey Tracy,
I switched birth controls and my face went from clear to crazy. I moved to Thailand to teach, but I really want to do your bootcamp. With Thais not believing in kitchens and street food EVERYWHERE at a great cost, is it possible to do the diet on Thai meals (white rice, meat, spicy sauces, mysterious bitter vegetables)? I don’t have a kitchen and am forced to eat out at every meal. Any advice? (The vegetables here are disgusting and ones from back home are either nonexistent or expensive)
Thank you so much!
Chels
Hi Chels, thanks so much for your interest in the Bootcamp 🙂 Well you certainly couldn’t do the diet part of it perfectly but there is a LOT to the Bootcamp that isn’t about diet and I still think you’d get a tremendous amount out of it. You can just do your best with the food (I could think of worse foods than Thai food… just eat smaller portions of the rice, and more vegetables if that’s possible)
Hi Tracy,
I’m very interested in participating in the bootcamp. You come across as very genuine and knowledgeable unlike others who try to rip off/scam acne sufferers! Could you provide a bit more info as to what the meal plans are like? The information is a bit vague. Is there a specific ‘category’ they stick to (e.g paleo, cavemen etc?) Thank you!
Hi Emily 🙂
Thanks for your interest in the Bootcamp! The meal plans are a pretty well rounded whole foods diet… so not really a category like paleo, or vegan or anything like that. No processed foods, and the meal plans are dairy and gluten free, and free from refined sugars. Foods that are included are: vegetables, whole fruits, non gluten grains, beans & legumes, coconut products, meat, eggs, seafood …. I think that covers it. For vegetarians there are plenty of vegetarian meals included.
Hi Tracy,
I am very interested in participating in your clear skin bootcamp; however, I had a question regarding candida acne. I believe I’ve had candida for about a year as a result of taking antibiotics, birth control, and eating a high carb diet. Unfortunately, I am one of the lucky people to have both internal and external candida symptoms. I have what appears to be pityrosporum folliculitis (tiny, uniform, white pustules) on my chest, upper back, and forehead. Would your bootcamp benefit me and my condition? I have tried 3 months on the candida diet with minimal success. I now take good probiotics 3 times a day and various vitamins to rebuild immunity but I can not get rid of the candida acne. The only thing that helps is applying H&S, Selsun Blue, and zinc pyrithione soap to the affected area. But the results are intermittent and the products are super harsh and dry out my skin. Please help!
Thanks.
Hi Kat, hmm hard to say, if you’ve been on the candida diet for three months already with minimal success… I mean there are plenty of other aspects of the Bootcamp / Academy beyond the diet, so it’s beneficial no matter what, but speaking specifically to the candida rash type acne, I’m not sure. I’d maybe look into getting GI stool test and see what it says
