The skin truly is the window of the gut with eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, hives, and even rashes connected to gut infection, inflammation, and leaky gut. This is acknowledged but not addressed well in the world of dermatology where patients will often be put on an antibiotic, antifungal, steroid or other prescription to bandaid the problem often leaving the microbiome more at risk for future infection and the gut barrier more damaged. In this episode, we unpack how the key formulas in the Naturally Nourished Beat the Bloat protocol can serve to support rebalancing the microbiome and repairing gut barrier for better skin health. 

 

Ali shares the particular probiotic strains to consider in restoration and recovery post-cleanse as well as how to troubleshoot your gut cleanse for best outcomes. In this episode we discuss key nutrients for skin health with supplement and food-as-medicine solutions. Ali discusses the connection of detox and liver health to gut health and why this needs to be supported along with gut health. Learn about topical considerations for skin health to support barrier and microbial balance.
