The Link Between Gut Health and Skin Conditions: How Healing Your Gut Can Improve Your Skin
Introduction
Are you struggling with acne, eczema, or rosacea? You may have tried countless skincare products, but the real solution to clear skin might start within your gut.
At Zen Attitude Wellness, Dr. Alaina Goesling specializes in integrative dermatology, combining naturopathic and functional medicine to treat skin conditions at their root cause—your gut health.
The Gut-Skin Connection: Why Your Gut Health Affects Your Skin
Your gut and skin are deeply linked through the gut-skin axis, meaning that imbalances in your digestive system can trigger inflammation, food sensitivities, and hormonal imbalances—all of which contribute to skin flare-ups.
Common Skin Conditions Linked to Gut Health
Acne – Often caused by gut dysbiosis, inflammation, and poor detoxification.
Eczema & Psoriasis – May be triggered by leaky gut, food intolerances, and immune dysfunction.
Rosacea – Strongly associated with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and digestive issues.
💡 Research shows that over 50% of rosacea patients also have SIBO, proving a strong gut-skin connection!
