Gut Microbiome

The gut microbiome and your skin – a topic our Naturopath, Mel, is frequently asked about, so we asked her to share her wisdom.

A healthy gut microbiome is one of the key foundations to clear, glowing skin. It modulates our immune function, which promotes skin barrier integrity, protects us from forming allergies which, lowers skin reactivity and inflammation, synthesises vitamins to ensure our skin can repair itself, improves mineral absorption to support the health of our skin, and synthesises neurotransmitters which keeps our stress response in check.

However, the health of our gut microbiome can be significantly impacted by a few elements.

Functional gut testing enables you to dive into the composition of your unique microbiome (because no two of us are the same, of course). Our Naturopath, Mel, is able to order this test for you after a consultation. She’ll then be able to highlight the elements disrupting your microbial balance that might be impacting your skin and create a tailored treatment plan to get your gut health on track.
