Gut Health & Glowing Skin in Perimenopause: The Inside-Out Secret


Listen Later

If your skin feels unpredictable in perimenopause and menopause — breakouts one week, dryness the next, redness that won’t calm down — your gut might be the missing link. In this episode of the pod, I’m breaking down the fascinating gut–skin axis and showing you why your digestion has everything to do with your complexion.

We’ll explore why gut health often becomes more sensitive in perimenopause and menopause, the biggest food and lifestyle triggers that could be sabotaging your skin, and simple swaps you can start making today. Plus, I’ll share my go-to “Skin Smoothie” recipe — a delicious, anti-inflammatory way to feed both your gut and your skin.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why perimenopause can make your gut (and skin) more reactive
  • The top gut-skin triggers I see in clinic — sugar, alcohol, processed foods, and low fibre
  • How poor digestion and leaky gut contribute to breakouts, redness, and dullness
  • 4 skin-loving food groups that support a calm, radiant complexion
  • My simple Skin Smoothie recipe for daily gut + skin nourishment
  • How inside-out strategies can reduce your reliance on expensive creams or cosmetic fixes

Here's the recipe for my Skin Loving Smoothie:

•1 cup coconut water
•1 handful spinach or kale
•½ cup berries
•1 tbsp chia seeds
•1 tbsp flax or hemp seeds
•Scoop of unflavoured, non-WPI protein powder
