Leaky Gut Syndrome & Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Is Your Gut Sabotaging Your Skin, Mood, and Metabolism?
Your gut health is the cornerstone of your skin clarity, mental wellness, and even how well your body absorbs nutrients and medications.
If you’re struggling with bloating, IBS symptoms, skin issues like acne or eczema, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, or food intolerances, you might be dealing with Leaky Gut Syndrome - and it’s more common than you think.
What Is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Also known as intestinal permeability, Leaky Gut occurs when the tight junctions in your gut lining become compromised. This allows toxins, microbes, and undigested food particles to pass through the intestinal wall and into your bloodstream - triggering widespread inflammation and an allergic reaction.
The Consequences?
💥 Poor absorption, leading to deficiencies in iron, B vitamins, magnesium, &more;
💥 Reduced metabolism and energy production;
💥 Autoimmune flares and chronic inflammation;
💥 Mood disorders like anxiety and depression via the gut-brain axis;
💥 Skin breakouts, eczema, psoriasis – driven by systemic inflammation;
💥 IBS symptoms – constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, cramps;
The Gut-Brain-Skin Axis!
Your gut, skin, and brain are intricately connected. When your gut lining is damaged, it doesn’t just affect digestion - it impacts your immune system, neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, and your skin barrier.
This explains why clients with chronic IBS often suffer from anxiety, depression, and persistent skin conditions - all tied back to gut dysfunction.
If any of these concern you, we encourage you to speak to your healthcare practitioners.
