If you’ve ever googled “leaky gut” or “leaky gut diet” because you’ve seen wellness experts claim that leaky gut is why your skin is a mess…
This episode is for you.
To be fair, there’s a pretty big chance you have leaky gut.
BUT, it’s not a root cause of chronic eczema or psoriasis or any of the other skin issues we talk about on the show.
Leaky gut syndrome (also known more formally as gut permeability) is caused by other factors. So while it’s a problem, it’s just not THE problem.
So in today’s episode I’m sharing an interview that I did on the Balanced Bites podcast hosted by Liz Wolfe where we got into this topic along with others that I know will hit home for you.
It’s my hope that this perspective will offer you some much needed insight about what’s really causing skin problem. (If you want to learn more about this, JOIN ME HERE.)
So let’s dive in!
In This Episode:
Quotes
“Functional medicine does a really bad job of actually helping people understand chronic skin problems because they treat them like autoimmunity and they're not.”
“If you have chronic skin problems, it's likely you have leaky gut. You don't need to go do a test for it.”
