In his detailed blog titled "What Causes Acne - Hormone Dysregulation And Epigenetics," Dr. Daniel Pompa, founder of the Pompa Program, the world leader in cellular detox and cellular healing, references studies on what causes acne on the core level.
Genetic factors play a significant role in the development and severity of acne. Recent research has shown that certain genetic variations affect the production and sensitivity of hormones responsible for triggering acne. Specifically, genes related to immune system regulation and hormone production have been found to be closely linked with acne occurrence. In short, acne is an immune and endocrine system dysfunction.
Recent research has revealed a strong connection between epigenetic changes and the function of sebaceous glands. Epigenetic modifications disrupt these glands, leading to the overproduction of sebum.
One particular study found that individuals with severe acne had higher levels of DNA methylation in their skin cells compared to those with clear skin. This means that certain genes involved in regulating sebum production were turned off or suppressed in those with acne, causing an imbalance in sebum production and leading to breakouts.
Research has shown that certain EDCs, such as phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), disrupt the production of sebum and trigger inflammation in the skin. This combination drives acne symptoms because they trigger hormone dysfunction and epigenetic changes.
Studies have also shown that exposure to pesticides has been linked to a weakened immune system, contributing to excessive sebum production. It's important to be aware of the harm that pesticides cause and strive for organic and pesticide-free options whenever possible.

A 30-mile stretch of California's Central Coast, Santa Maria Valley and its expert Santa Maria Style pit masters are prepped and ready to share their expert flavor (and hot takes) with the rest of the world.

So, what sets Santa Maria Style barbecue apart from the rest? (There is no competition as far as Santa Maria Valley is concerned.) Here at Sizzle Central, barbecue isn't a smoke show, rather, it's a spiced-up, red-oak-fired, perfectly wine-paired flavor found in a foodie's dream destination.
"Santa Maria Style barbecue is in a category of its own compared to other styles of barbecue because of how we cook the meats," said Jaime Flores, Santa Maria Valley pitmaster and founder of the Santa Maria Barbecue Festival. "We cook on an open pit and control the heat by raising and lowering our grill. This open pit style allows the meats to cook evenly and the red oak smoke flavors the meats, which are seasoned with a dry seasoning usually consisting of salt, pepper and garlic. With these attributes to our style, there is no reason to sauce the meat."
Each year, hundreds of people gather in mid-May (May 13, this year) for the annual Santa Maria Barbecue Festival, a celebration of grilling Santa Maria Style. The cornerstone of the event is a professional competition with local celebrity judges that vote on the Best Barbecue in Santa Maria Valley as local businesses and professionals compete for bragging rights and the first-place Branding Iron award. There is also a separate competition for "best backyard cook."
"The differences between East, West, North and South vary greatly," said Anthony Minniti, Santa Maria Valley pitmaster. "Each style differs in cooking time, temperature, rub or no rub, and, when applicable, the sauce. I love them all, however, I think Santa Maria Style is the purest form of barbecue because of its balance and simplicity."
Santa Maria Style barbecue started in the mid-19th century when the rancheros gathered to help each other brand their calves each spring. As a thank-you to fellow vaqueros — America's first cowboys — the host would prepare a Spanish-style barbecue, consisting of beef barbecued over a red-oak fire, served with Pinquito beans, bread, salsa and homemade desserts. The region's flagship varieties also pair perfectly with barbecue — cool-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah — all "bold but gentle" and paired perfectly with barbecue.
So, what are you waiting for? Come to Sizzle Central (whether in person or at home) and experience Santa Maria Style barbecue either for the first time or again and again.
