There are many ways that gut health impacts the rest of our bodies. For example, there is a communication pathway that exists between the digestive system and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis.

Our nervous system transmits signals between the two, which means that the health of your gut has a direct impact on the health of your brain, and vice versa.

Since mood and behavior influencing chemicals ( like dopamine & seratonin ) are produced in the gut, an unhealthy gut can contribute to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety & the inability to manage stress. Similarly, a HEALTHY gut can support healthier cognitive function overall.

Another connection that might be of interest to you is the gut-skin axis. Gut health influences the health of your skin, and vice versa. Diet & lifestyle choices that breed excess bacteria and parasites in the gut lead to inflammation and imbalances in the gut microbiome.

This inflammation & internal imbalance results in your immune system trying to fight off the bacteria and parasites. Your lymphatic system (which filters toxins out of your body) begins working overtime, which can result in skin issues such as acne, eczema & rosacea.

A holistic approach is the only real approach to healing, and that begins INSIDE of your body. My products are designed to aid your body’s natural healing process.

They strengthen your skin’s natural barrier, making it less susceptible to external toxins from pollution and other environmental factors. They soothe & prevent breakouts, blemishes & rashes. HOWEVER, as a holistic health enthusiast I will always advocate for internal healing above anything else.
