On this episode of Talkin sMACK, we feature certified Integrative Esthetician & Acne Specialist, Tiffany Owings specializes in functional nutrition & coaching, gut health, acne treatments, skin reparative treatments and preventative skincare treatments as a nutrition coach. Tiffany tells us autoimmune conditions are caused by a combination of genes, inflammation, and digestion. Skin conditions can be a warning sign of an impending autoimmune disease. The gut plays a crucial role in overall health, and what we put into our bodies affects our skin. Many dermatologists and estheticians focus only on topical treatments and neglect the importance of diet and lifestyle. Taking care of the gut is essential for addressing skin issues. The quality of food in the US is often lower than in other countries, and the use of fluoride in water and toothpaste can contribute to skin problems. Birth control can have a significant impact on gut health and hormones, and it's important to support the liver and ensure proper elimination before considering more intensive detox methods. Tiffany offers services called 'The Root Cause' and 'Hair Scan' to address the root cause of health issues. She emphasizes the importance of understanding symptoms and keeping a food, mood, and poop journal. Tiffany believes in taking a whole-body approach to health and considers factors like gut health and nutrition. She is passionate about helping people and being an advocate for their health. Tiffany shares her personal journey and the importance of self-confidence and self-care. She encourages listeners to ignore negative voices and keep going. There are many potential topics for future discussions, including hormones, digestive health, and so much more.
