We know that there is a direct connection between the health of your gut and the function of the skin - but the first thing often spoken about is probiotics or the role of the gut microbiome. There are many different facets of the digestive system which we analyse when it comes to identifying the driver of dysfunction in the gut that can be impacting a clients skin presentation. Having the tools to identify the signs/symptoms of the gut-skin axis needing some extra support is just the first step and screening for infection is the next.
