Can gut health improve your skin health? If there are 5 people in a room with eczema, they’re probably all dealing with it for completely different reasons. And that’s something we don’t talk about enough. Eczema, acne, psoriasis… these are rarely just skin issues. They’re often a reflection of what’s happening inside the body, particularly in the gut. So instead of just asking what to put on your skin, this episode is about asking a better question. What’s actually driving this underneath? My guest today is Farzanah Nasser, a registered nutritionist and certified functional medicine practitioner specialising in gut health, immune health and chronic skin conditions. She works with people every day, dealing with long-standing skin issues using a practical, gut-first approach. She’s also the author of “The Everyday High-Fibre Plan”, full of simple, gut-friendly recipes, including those cookies on the table!
