healthy gut = happy skin

Healthy gut =healthy skin

Did you know that your gut health is directly correlated to how healthy your skin is? Research has shown that when there is an issue with your digestive health the skin tends to become more irritated. This wisdom is dating back to ancient Eastern medicine. Oftentimes skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. When any of my clients are struggling my first suggestion is always to heal the gut. Cutting out or minimizing sugar & gluten processed here in the US is crucial sometimes for healing the skin.

Taking probiotics is an essential step in balancing the gut bacteria. My favorite is by the brand, Flora.

Minimizing sugar will dramatically improve the skin. It is the most common sneaky ingredient.

Best foods for healthy skin and why?

There are many essential vitamins that aid in healthy skin. We all have heard of vitamin C and omegas but what kind and where get we get this from? 

It's important to note that while omega 3 is vital as well as omega 6 having too much omega 6 can actually have a reverse impact and cause inflammation. I prefer to get my omega vitamins from walnuts, flax seeds, hemp seeds, and fish rather than supplements.
