Detox the right way for skin health - how to support your liver and optimise your gut.

“By addressing the gut microbiome and slowly reducing the inflammatory components there, we start to see this distance being created between each skin infection.” -Jennifer Fugo

Does it feel like you’ve tried EVERYTHING to clear up your skin? If skin creams haven’t worked and detoxes are failing you, you’re not alone. 

Whether you have acne, rashes, rosacea, or more severe forms of eczema and psoriasis, skin care products and medications alone aren’t enough to help you. You’ve got to look at your gut health, your liver function, your nutrition, and your lifestyle. 

Jennifer Fugo is a clinical nutritionist helping her patients to beat chronic skin issues and unending gut challenges. She’s also got her own line of skincare and supplements and hosts the Healthy Skin Show podcast.

In this episode, Jennifer explains which supplements and foods you should be using for great skin health. The link between cytokines, inflammation, and “leaky skin”. How nutrition, environmental toxins and genetics can cause imbalances in the skin microbiome. And why a diet-only approach sometimes fails - and what to do instead.
