You don't need to be bloated, constipated, or running to the bathroom for your gut to be driving your acne. Shocking? Maybe. Important? Absolutely.
In this episode, Katie and Cris break down the digestive red flags most people are completely overlooking, why your gut is almost always part of the acne picture, and how your gut, brain, and skin are all in constant conversation with each other. If you've ever said "I don't have gut issues" and dismissed it as a root cause, this one's for you.
In This Episode We Cover
- The digestive red flags that signal your gut needs attention, even if you feel "fine."
- Why constipation and diarrhea both drive inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and acne.
- How upper digestion is the most overlooked piece of the gut health puzzle.
- The non-digestive symptoms that are secretly pointing back to your gut.
- Why food sensitivities are a symptom of poor gut health, not a diagnosis.
- The gut-brain-skin axis and how stress, digestion, and your skin are all connected.
