Most of us sense a link between our gut and our skin, but just how strong is that connection?
In today’s episode, I talk to Sophie Medlin, a leading dietitian who has spent nearly 20 years helping patients tackle gut problems and heal their skin from within.
From acne and eczema to rosacea and midlife dryness, Sophie explains why your skincare routine might be failing because of what’s happening in your microbiome and what to do about it, including through diet, probiotics, prebiotics and even post-biotics!
