Can your gut make biologic psoriasis treatments work better?

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis don’t just affect the skin and joints. They are closely linked to what’s happening in the gut.

Research shows that people with psoriasis often have lower gut microbiome diversity, with fewer beneficial bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (important for calming inflammation), and higher levels of pro-inflammatory microbes.

Interestingly, studies also show that people who respond well to biologic medications tend to have a more balanced and stable gut microbiome even before treatment begins.

This is where diet and microbiome support come in.

While biologics can be incredibly effective, emerging research suggests that supporting the microbiome through nutrition, targeted prebiotics and probiotics, and gut-friendly lifestyle strategies may help enhance treatment outcomes for some people.

The science is still evolving, but the connection is compelling.

💚 In my clinical experience, I often see better results when gut health is addressed alongside medical treatment — not instead of it, but as part of a whole-body approach.
If you’re living with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis and feel like you’re doing “everything right” but still not getting the results you hoped for, it may be worth looking beyond the skin.

✨ Your gut could be part of the missing piece.

Always work alongside your prescribing doctor or specialist.

🌱 5 herbs for hormonal acne 🌱

Herbs are a key component of any treatment plan I put together for my acne clients. They work to correct underlying causes. I custom make skin tonics for my clients after an in-depth consultation but here are 5 herbs I regularly use in my herbal medicines.

REISHI
🌿 Traditionally used in Chinese medicine for glowing skin. Reishi is an excellent herb to modify cortisol. If stress and poor sleep habits are showing up on your skin Reishi can be an excellent plant ally.

PEONY
🌿 Peony is useful if PCOS is driving your acne. The type where you can large pimples around the mouth and chin.

SPEARMINT
🌿 Is an antiandrogen and a couple of cups of spearmint tea a day can support hormonal balance.

VITEX
🌿 Can be useful if your menstrual cycle is irregular or you get your breakouts premenstrually.

SARSAPARILLA
🌿 I love this herb for chronic cystic acne where the pimples never reach a head. It’s also great for helping the liver detoxify hormones.

Holistic support for hidradenitis suppurativa: the naturopathic approach

Conventional treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa often focus on symptom management, but a holistic approach targets the root causes to support long-term remission. It also complements conventional medical treatment so it doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Naturopathic care aims to:
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve immune function
• Balance hormones and metabolism
• Support the skin & gut microbiome
• Encourage healthy lifestyle changes (stress, sleep, quitting smoking)

Working with an experienced practitioner can help you create a personalised, effective plan for lasting results.

Oils are popular in skincare products and either used individually or as part of a formulation.

If your skin is prone to acne choose a non-comedogenic oil. Comedogenic is a fancy term for a substance that blocks pores.

Blocked pores increase the risk of breakouts and that’s not what you want.

I generally find most people can tolerate jojoba and rosehip oils without causing issues.

Do you use oils as part of your skincare routine? Let me know what you’ve found to be helpful.

There are many pieces in the hormonal acne puzzle. Insulin and insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) though are the biggest ones. Imbalances in these metabolic hormones then trigger a knock-on effect to other hormones like estrogen, progesterone and androgens.

Sub clinical (ie: not qualifying for a diabetes diagnosis) elevations in insulin and IGF-1 drive excess sebum production (oiliness), keratin (blocked pores), inflammation, and other hormone imbalances.

With my clinic clients, I see two main reasons this happens.
1. Diets high in refined sugars, processed food, alcohol
2. Chronic stress triggers cortisol production, raising blood glucose and insulin.

It’s why topical treatments, and traditional dermatology treatment often don’t get lasting results you long for. To successfully treat acne, we need to go deeper than the dermis and correct the underlying metabolic imbalances.

This is the reason a low glycaemic, insulin stabilizing diet and stress management are core components of all my acne treatment.

If you’d like help with your acne, I’m working with clients in my Brisbane clinic and Australia wide via Telehealth.

Five ways low estrogen impacts your skin in perimenopause

👉🏻 Decline in collagen. During the first 5 years of menopause, the body's collagen production decreases by approximately 30%. This also affects tendons and ligaments, which can leave women more prone to joint aches, pains, and injuries. Another skin protein, elastin, also decreases, and when combined with the lower collagen, this results in sagging skin, wrinkles, and skin thinning.

👉🏻 The decrease in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), such as hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, impacts the skin, ligament/tendon structure, hydration, and tissue repair.

👉🏻 Lower levels of skin lipids, such as sebum and ceramides, impact skin hydration, barrier function, sensitivity, and microbiome profile.

👉🏻 Low estrogen alters thermoregulation/temperature sensitivity and drives “flushing” and night sweats.

👉🏻Low estrogen alters how inflammation is regulated, which can exacerbate skin conditions where inflammation is a primary driver, such as eczema and psoriasis.

Supporting your skin barrier from the inside out.

Skin barrier health is an important component for many common skin conditions including acne, atopic dermatitis and eczema and rosacea. An anti-inflammatory, nutrient dense diet is the absolute underlying foundation of this but sometimes you need a little extra support. Here are five of my favourite supplements to use to support and healthy skin barrier:

🌱 Prebiotics like GOS and PHGG increase the production of short chain fatty acids from the gut microbiome and along with generally reduce inflammation promote healthy keratinocyte function and increase ceramide production.

🌱 Lactobacillus plantarum137 is an immunobiotic has been shown to increased hyaluronic acid (HLA) and helps reduce pro-inflammatory

🌱 Omega 3 fatty acids. The DHA component of these increases filaggrin expression (important if you are prone to eczema) and help improve keratinocyte differentiation (important in psoriasis). They also are helpful to reduce inflammation

🌱 Flaxseed oil is a good source of alpha linolenic acid which helps improve skin hydration and reduce sensitivity

🌱 Polyphenols are plant chemicals which can act as antioxidants and are helpful for a skin barrier damaged by UV radiation and air pollution, they also help improve the lipid barrier to support moisture retention. Some of the most researched polyphenols for skin include green tea and pomegranate.

Ideally supplements should be used as part of a broader skin care treatment plan focusing on diet, lifestyle and any other underlying drivers of your skin condition.

In amongst the hormone balancing, gut healing, sebum reducing microbial killing which are common targets of both natural and conventional acne therapies the health of the skin barrier is often forgotten. This barrier is quite complex having a physical layer, a chemical layer, an immune layer and a microbial (skin microbiome) layer which all function together to support healthy skin.

In acne vulgaris the skin barrier integrity is challenged both by the acne condition itself and by the treatments used to fight it.

This is why is it is so important to take care of the skin barrier in a holistic acne treatment plan.

1. Acne Already Damages the Shield: Even before treatment starts, skin affected by acne often has a compromised barrier. This damage is evident through increased water loss (signalling that the skin cannot hold moisture) and a higher pH, making the skin inherently prone to irritation and sensitivity.

2. Acne Treatments Make It Worse: Many topical and oral acne medications—such as benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and retinoids—work by causing changes that disrupt the skin's structure. This further impairs the barrier, leading to uncomfortable side effects like dryness (xerosis), irritation, burning, and peeling. It also creates a vicious cycle where you need to keep taking the treatments ongoing and cumulatively creating more damage.

Stick around because I’ll be posting more about how you can improve the health of your skin barrier and, also, possibly nerding out a bit on the role of the skin microbiome in skin barrier function!🤓

So, what diet is best for acne? How should you eat for clear skin? Despite what you may read, there is no “one” magic diet that rules them all when it comes to acne.

No single food in and of itself triggers acne. It would be easy if there were, but it’s more complex than that, and everyone is different.

Here are three examples:

1. If your gut health is suboptimal, eating gluten grains may increase inflammation that triggers your sebaceous glands and results in breakouts. But, if you were to optimise your digestion, you might not have that issue. (Plus whole grains contain many vitamins and minerals that healthy skin needs. So, let’s not demonise them without a fair trial!)

2. Low carb ketogenic diets may work well for some, but if you have reduced capacity to digest fats, they will leave you with diarrhoea resulting in less nutrient absorption.

3. How stressed are you? Stress reduces the output of stomach acid and digestive enzymes, making any food potentially a trigger.

This shows why simplistic advice, although well-meant can miss the mark and leave you feeling lost and confused and still struggling with your skin. Not to mention creating an unhealthy fear of foods.

Tried every topical acne treatment under the sun but still getting breakouts? Maybe it’s time to look and listen to your gut.

Naturopaths have long observed the link between an unhealthy digestive system and acne. The gut-brain-skin theory proposes emotional states such as anxiety, depression and psychological stress alter the balance of beneficial gut bugs giving rise to a “leaky gut”. This intestinal permeability contributes to body-wide inflammation including the skin.

Inflammation in the skin’s sebaceous (oil producing) glands stimulates excess production of sebum, blocking follicles resulting in pimples and acne lesions.

Learn how to reduce intestinal permeability to support a healthy gut and achieve clear skin.
