Root cause skincare: testing your gut microbiome health

The relationship between skin and gut health is a complex and interconnected one. Research has shown that the balance of bacteria in the gut, known as the gut microbiome, plays a significant role in skin health. A healthy gut microbiome can help reduce inflammation in the body, which may translate to fewer skin issues such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis. Conversely, an imbalance in the gut can lead to increased inflammation and potentially worsen skin conditions. Maintaining a diverse and balanced gut microbiome through a diet rich in fiber, fermented foods, and probiotics can positively impact skin health. Furthermore, drinking plenty of water, managing stress levels, and getting adequate sleep are also essential factors in supporting both gut and skin health. Remember, achieving radiant skin goes beyond just what you apply topically—it starts from within.
