Summary

When we think of skin, we usually think of the outside of the body, but our skin reflects what's happening inside our body as well. It's rare for problems to be isolated to the skin alone. Anyone with a skin-related autoimmune disease knows this. But it's also true for any skin problem, including acne, rashes, eczema, rosacea, and others. They're all signals from the skin that something is unbalanced within the body. We've talked about the importance of gut health many times on this podcast. It won't surprise you to know that it has a major impact on skin health as well. We're doing a deep dive into the gut-skin connection today. My guest is Dr. Shayna Peter, a holistic dermatologist who uses a root cause approach to heal skin from the inside out. She is a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, specializing in dermatology and functional medicine.

0:06.5	autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel.
0:11.8	I'm Eileen Laird, your host. In this podcast, I interview experts in the fields of nutrition, lifestyle,

1:22.2	First let me pause for a moment and mark this milestone.
1:25.4	When I started this podcast back in 2014, I didn't know if I'd end up
1:29.7	with any listeners at all. Now, 200 episodes and 2 million downloads later, I want to say thank you
1:35.8	to each and every one of you. This podcast couldn't happen without you, and I'm so grateful
1:41.1	you chose to spend your valuable time with me. So our topic today is the gut
1:46.7	skin connection. We've talked about gut health many times on this podcast. It's integral to
