True Skin Health Starts from Within

Many of us have been led to believe that skin issues are simply surface-level, needing only a better skincare routine or a few extra facials. While these can definitely help (and yes, if you’re looking for my skincare tips, scroll down!), they rarely bring about lasting change.

Traditional medicine often approaches skin problems this way too—seeing them as isolated, external issues. The common solutions? Dermatology appointments, steroids, cortisone creams, or even medications like Actuate. These treatments target the symptoms on the surface, but they miss something essential: what's going on beneath.

In reality, most skin issues have deeper roots. Sometimes, it’s a hormonal imbalance. Other times, it's linked to your detox pathways being overloaded. And quite often, it’s connected to gut health. Your skin is a reflection of your inner health. 


For Skin Imbalances

the common culprits include:


Diets high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats can lead to inflammation in the body. This inflammation may manifest on the skin as redness, breakouts, or other irritations. Addressing dietary choices is a key step in reducing inflammatory responses and promoting clearer, healthier skin.

When the body lacks essential vitamins and minerals, it can compromise the skin’s ability to repair and regenerate. Nutrient deficiencies might result in dullness, dryness, or premature aging. Ensuring a balanced intake of nutrients can help fortify the skin’s natural defenses and support overall skin vitality.

Food intolerances often trigger systemic responses that extend beyond digestive discomfort. In some individuals, these intolerances can lead to skin flare-ups, such as rashes or eczema. Identifying and eliminating problematic foods may help in reducing these adverse skin reactions.

The gut and skin are closely connected through the gut-skin axis. An imbalance in gut flora or impaired gut integrity can lead to systemic inflammation, which may reflect as skin issues. Restoring gut health through diet, probiotics, or other interventions can have a positive impact on the appearance and health of your skin.

The liver is critical for detoxifying the body, and when it becomes overburdened with toxins, these harmful substances can affect the skin. Signs of liver toxicity may include breakouts or uneven skin tone. Supporting liver health through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes can help reduce toxin-related skin problems.

Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol influence many bodily functions, including skin health. Fluctuations or imbalances in these hormones can lead to issues like acne, dryness, or excessive oil production. Addressing hormonal imbalances can be an important strategy in achieving and maintaining clear, balanced skin.


Let’s get into it!

Skin Nutrition

Diet for Radiant Skin

Hydration

The Foundation of Healthy Skin

One of the simplest yet most overlooked elements of skin care is proper hydration. When your body is dehydrated, your skin is often the first to show signs of neglect—appearing dry, flaky, and lacklustre. 

Drinking plenty of water throughout the day is a fundamental step towards achieving glowing, healthy skin. If dryness is a persistent challenge, be sure to check out our guide on "How to Heal & Prevent Dry Skin" for expert tips on nourishing your skin from the inside out.

Balanced Diet

Nourishing Your Skin from Within

Just like every other part of your body, your skin flourishes when it receives the right nutrients. We emphasise the importance of a well-rounded diet that’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. This balanced nutritional approach not only enhances your skin’s appearance but also supports its overall health and resilience.

Essential Skin Nutrients

Key Components for Radiance

Several nutrients are particularly critical for maintaining vibrant skin. These include zinc, selenium, iron, biotin, and vitamins C, D, A, and E. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids and protein play a vital role in skin repair and regeneration. Ensuring your diet includes these essential elements can make a significant difference in your skin’s health and radiance.

GLA – Gamma-Linolenic Acid

An Unsung Hero for Skin Health

Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) is a powerhouse nutrient that you might not have heard much about—but its benefits for skin health are remarkable. Research indicates that GLA can significantly improve issues like dry skin and even more challenging conditions such as atopic dermatitis. Natural sources of GLA include hempseed, borage oil, evening primrose oil, black currant oil, and sea buckthorn. We’re committed to helping you integrate these nutrient-rich foods into your routine for lasting, real-world results.


By focusing on these key areas—hydration, a balanced diet, essential nutrients, and the benefits of GLA—you can empower your skin to look and feel its best, naturally radiating health and vitality.

Our face is often a window into the health of our gut.

Our Face is Often a Window into the Health of Our Gut

The food we consume has a profound impact on the appearance and condition of our skin. Modern diets frequently miss the mark by lacking essential nutrients that our skin needs to thrive. Moreover, many of the foods we regularly eat can trigger inflammation, which in turn may worsen skin issues through systemic inflammatory processes.

Common offenders include refined sugars, processed carbohydrates, an excess of omega-6 fats, additives, and alcohol. It's worth noting that alcohol not only disrupts your gut lining and promotes the growth of harmful gut bacteria but can also elevate estrogen levels. For those seeking healthier skin, reducing alcohol intake is a sensible choice.

Transforming your skin health begins with a nutrient-rich, whole foods diet that minimises processed ingredients and inflammation. Our "Eat to Achieve" nutrition guide is designed to walk you through the precise steps needed to transition to a healthier eating pattern, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to nourish your skin from within.


Real Food Heals Your Skin

Food sensitivities can be a hidden culprit behind gut inflammation, which often manifests as skin issues. Recognising and removing foods that trigger these sensitivities can be key to alleviating both gut and skin problems.

There are two primary methods to pinpoint food intolerances:

  • Elimination Diet: In Phase 3 of our "Eat to Achieve" nutrition program, we adopt a systematic approach by removing potential trigger foods. This process helps to clearly identify which foods may be causing your sensitivities.
  • Food Sensitivity Testing: We offer advanced testing that provides a detailed analysis of your reactions to various foods. However, we advise that food sensitivity testing be conducted under the guidance of a skilled clinician. Proper timing and interpretation are essential to ensure you receive the most accurate and actionable insights.


Food Sensitivity Testing

The Skin-Gut Microbiome Connection

Understanding the skin-gut link


Your skin’s health is deeply connected to the state of your gut. The gut microbiome plays a significant role in shaping the skin’s microbiome, which directly impacts its condition and appearance. While many recognize that the skin is our body’s largest organ, it's often forgotten that true skin health is nurtured from the inside out. By understanding this connection, you can begin to see why addressing gut health is essential for achieving lasting skin improvements.

Traditional dermatology typically targets surface-level symptoms using creams, steroids, or medications, which may provide temporary relief but rarely address the underlying causes. In many cases, skin issues are not just skin-deep—they can be driven by factors like hormonal imbalances, sluggish detox pathways, or gut health issues such as SIBO and H. pylori. Without addressing these root causes, external treatments alone often fail to deliver long-term results.

we adopt a functional medicine approach that digs beneath the surface. We explore a range of underlying issues—from food sensitivities and gut pathogens to hormonal imbalances—that can trigger conditions like rosacea, acne, or eczema. By targeting these root causes, we empower your body to heal itself from within. Ready to dive deeper into your gut health?

Understanding Your Skin's Health


Ever wonder how your skin reflects your inner health? Often, the skin is one of the first places where gut issues reveal themselves. Problems like poor digestion, low stomach acid, leaky gut, or an imbalance in your gut’s bacteria (dysbiosis) can all show up as skin irregularities.

We recognise that skin issues often mirror what’s going on in your gut. If symptoms like poor digestion or difficulty breaking down fats sound familiar, it’s time to take a closer look. Healthy skin depends on properly breaking down fatty acids, and when digestion isn’t working well, it can lead to persistent skin problems.

To help you on your journey, we’ve created a free Digestive Support Guide. This resource is especially useful if you’ve been struggling with fat digestion, a key piece in supporting glowing, healthy skin from the inside out.​


Understanding Acne and Gut Health

Acne affects a large part of the population, and its causes can be as complex as the condition itself. Research shows that around 37% of people with acne also experience gut-related symptoms, while 40% may struggle with low stomach acid. One of the most common triggers? Dietary sensitivities—especially to dairy.

Research shows that around 37% of people with acne also experience gut-related symptoms, while 40% may struggle with low stomach acid. One of the most common triggers? Dietary sensitivities—especially to dairy.


Identifying Dairy Sensitivity

If you think you might have a sensitivity to dairy, there are some key signs to look out for, including:

  • Bloating, diarrhea, or constipation
  • Skin issues like eczema or rashes
  • Persistent respiratory problems like a cough or sinus issues
  • Headaches or migraines


If any of these sound familiar, eliminating dairy from your diet could lead to noticeable improvements in your skin health.

Hormonal Causes of Acne

For many women, acne can be tied to higher levels of androgens like testosterone and DHEA. If you suspect hormones might be at play, consider the Your Hormone Revival program. This 13-week journey uses the DUTCH hormone test to provide clear insights into your hormone levels and offers a personalised protocol to help you rebalance them.

The Role of Blood Sugar in Acne

Blood sugar imbalances are another key factor in acne. When insulin levels surge, it can trigger hormonal shifts that increase testosterone and DHEA, which can contribute to breakouts.

Achieve Better Blood Sugar Control

To manage your blood sugar and insulin levels more effectively, we recommend the Carb Compatibility Project. This comprehensive plan is designed to help you stabilise blood sugar, giving you the tools to work toward clearer skin.​

Addressing Eczema Through Gut Health

Poor gut bacteria and food sensitivities are the primary culprits behind eczema. Dairy and gluten are the most common triggers, so testing for these and/or removing them from your diet is a great place to start. Eat to Achieve is a gluten-free, dairy-free food plan designed to help manage eczema.

Identifying Food Sensitivities

Start by testing for and possibly removing dairy and gluten, as they are primary triggers for eczema. Consider adopting the Eat to Achieve plan, which emphasises a gluten-free, dairy-free diet to support skin health.


Understanding Histamine Intolerance

Histamine intolerance can also contribute to eczema. Clinically, histamine issues often accompany H. Pylori infections, candida overgrowth, and low levels of Bifido species in the gut.

Solutions for Eczema

Consider supplementing with a powerful probiotic to support gut health. If this approach doesn’t yield results, functional GI testing through our private membership may be beneficial.​


Liver & Detoxification

The Hidden Link to Your Skin Health

Overwhelmed Detox Pathways

Skin issues such as acne, rashes, and rosacea can be indicators that your liver is overburdened and your body's detox pathways are struggling. Acting as your body’s filtration system, the liver processes toxins for elimination through the lungs, kidneys, gut, and even the skin. In today's world, with over 80,000 synthetic chemicals introduced into our environment—many untested for safety—the liver is under constant pressure to manage an ever-increasing toxin load. 

Environmental and Skincare Toxins

Reducing your exposure to harmful toxins is a crucial first step in supporting liver health. Not only do environmental chemicals contribute to the burden on your liver, but everyday products, including skincare items, can also be problematic. Since the skin is the largest organ and constantly absorbs substances, toxic ingredients in your skincare routine eventually make their way to your liver, exacerbating the strain on this vital organ. 

Supporting Liver Health for Radiant Skin

By becoming more mindful of both the environmental toxins around you and the ingredients in your skincare products, you can alleviate the load on your liver. This supportive approach enables your liver to function more efficiently, promoting better detoxification and contributing to healthier, glowing skin from the inside out. 

Most conventional skincare and personal care products contain endocrine disruptors

Chemicals that interfere with your body’s hormone signalling and metabolism. These ingredients can have a profound impact on your hormonal health.

We’ve seen numerous cases of Estrogen dominance in women, which can lead to symptoms such as:

  • Heavy or irregular periods
  • Severe PMS
  • Breast tenderness
  • Fibroids
  • Endometriosis
  • Ovarian cysts

By being more mindful of the products you use on your skin and body, you can take a crucial step toward balancing your hormones and supporting overall health.

Think cosmetics don’t matter? Think again. The average Indian uses 10-12 personal care products every day—soap, toothpaste, deodorant, makeup, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, shaving cream, perfume, cologne, body wash, and more. When you add it all up, that’s a lot of exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.

For optimal health, it’s essential to choose products that are free from these harmful toxins. We provide safe, natural alternatives to help you take care of your body and support your overall well-being.

Even if you’re using just a few products, you’re still exposing your body to low doses of environmental toxins—and that can have a significant impact. Endocrine disruptors can affect your body at these low doses, just like natural hormones, potentially damaging important tissues like the thyroid and ovaries.
