The state of our skin is often a representation of the state of our internal environment. Common causes of skin problems include:

Hormonal imbalances, stress, poor nutrition, minerals and vitamin deficiencies, inflammation in the gut, food and environmental sensitivities or allergies

The skin is a very important elimination system in the body that allows us to excrete toxins and minerals through our pores. A toxic body often results in redness, rashes and inflammation of the skin. We must also maintain good skin hygiene and circulation to allow for adequate blood flow and open pores and nourish our skin from the inside with proper hydration, essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

The treatment approach to skin depends on the root cause, however in all cases a healthy diet that is free of inflammatory and acidic foods is essential. This dietary approach may be combined with food and environmental allergy testing to identify unique triggers to each patient. A predominantly vegetarian, whole foods approach ensures that there is adequate fiber, nutrients and alkalinity in the body for gorgeous skin.
