Why Your Breakouts Start in your Belly

The Functional Aesthetician

Did you know your skin and gut are constantly communicating?

From bloating to breakouts, your body is sending signals. Learn how the gut-skin axis connects digestion and skin health, and how to reduce inflammation for clear, healthier skin.

In this episode, we dive deep into the gut-skin axis, the powerful connection between gut health, digestion, and skin inflammation. You’ll learn how an imbalanced gut microbiome can trigger acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions, and how addressing your gut health can transform your skin from the inside out.

We’ll explore what happens when the gut barrier and skin barrier are compromised, the role of inflammatory foods, and why functional gut testing can uncover the root cause of chronic skin issues.

Whether you struggle with bloating, breakouts, or gut discomfort, this episode will help you understand your body’s signals and take the first steps toward real healing.

If you’ve ever wondered why topical treatments alone don’t solve your skin issues, this episode will change the way you look at your skin forever.
