Can Healing Your Gut Cure Skin Problems? with Dr. Barbara Paldus
"Hormonal acne is a complex condition deeply connected to the gut-skin-brain axis, where diet, stress, and systemic inflammation play critical roles. Understanding and managing hormonal acne requires addressing not just the skin but also mood, inflammation, and hormonal balance."
Your skin is home to trillions of tiny microbes that can affect your whole body, from your gut to your brain. These little organisms play a big role in skin conditions like eczema and hormonal acne.
Today, we're lucky to have Dr. Barbara Paldus, CEO of Codex Labs, a dermatologist who's changing the game when it comes to skincare. She'll introduce us to integrative dermatology and explain how your skin, gut, and overall health are all connected.
We'll learn why common treatments like antibiotics can actually make your skin problems worse. Dr. Paldus also shares some fascinating ways to address stubborn skin issues by working with your body's natural systems.
Whether you're dealing with persistent skin problems or aiming for healthier skin, you'll gain insights to support your skin from the inside out.
