Health is more than skin-deep
We understand how conditions that affect the health & appearance of your skin can be more than a superficial concern. They can impact your confidence, your mental health, your well-being, and believe or not - your entire body!
Many conditions that do not improve with topical treatments are often just a surface symptom of a deeper issue. That’s why we investigate the root cause of the skin condition. There are multiple reasons why you may be struggling with a skin condition such as psoriasis, eczema or acne.
The good news is that with proper treatment many skin conditions respond well!

Our skin is our body’s third largest detox organ. When it is overloaded with toxins such as pesticides, herbicides or heavy metals however, that is when diseases will often present themselves.

You may suffer from conditions like psoriasis, eczema or acne when your gut is having food allergies or food sensitivities to things in your diet. Some allergies are hidden and hard to determine. Therefore, it is important to do proper blood and stool testing to determine the root cause of the skin concern.

Hormone imbalances like irregular periods, use of hormonal birth control, changing hormones in puberty, perimenopause, or pregnancy can all impact the health of your skin. Balancing and regulating hormone levels is an important step for treating problem skin.
