𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗻𝗲, 𝗲𝗰𝘇𝗲𝗺𝗮, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗮 are often treated with creams, antibiotics, or elimination diets. These may reduce symptoms temporarily, but they rarely address why the problem keeps coming back.

Your skin is closely connected to 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝘁, 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘅 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀. When the gut lining becomes compromised, or the microbiome is imbalanced, it can trigger systemic inflammation that shows up on the skin.

🥴 𝗦𝗹𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘅 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, especially in the liver and lymphatic system
🍽️ 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 or low digestive enzyme production

If you're reacting to everything, experiencing flares without a clear cause, or finding that nothing topical is working anymore, it's time to look deeper. 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆!

It’s easy to end up taking 10+ supplements when you’re trying to “𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀.” But just like with food or medications, more isn’t always better.

A new CDC report confirmed that over 55% of the average American’s calories now come from ultra-processed foods. 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱, 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗶𝗹𝘀, 𝗲𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘀.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
🔸 These foods disrupt your gut microbiome.
🔸 They drive chronic inflammation.
🔸 They spike blood sugar and promote insulin resistance.
🔸 They make it harder to feel full and more likely to overeat.

𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱:
✅ Cook a big batch of real food staples each week
✅ Choose unsweetened, plain versions (yogurt, nut butters, milks)
✅ Replace packaged snacks with whole food ones (nuts, hard-boiled eggs, fruit + nut butter)

Switching to whole foods can make a huge change in your overall health. Learn more by booking a strategy session today.

🔹 Balances blood sugar so you don’t crash and binge
🔹 Helps you feel full + stable longer
🔹 Provides amino acids that support neurotransmitters (aka mood, focus, motivation)
🔹 Reduces the “stress” signal that triggers emotional eating

Aiming for 25–30g of protein at each meal can be a game changer.🥩💪
