Skin Conditions

Struggling with Skin Concerns? Let’s Address the Root Cause.

Persistent acne, dryness, rashes, or other skin conditions can feel overwhelming and affect your confidence. But your skin often reflects more than surface-level issues—it’s a window into your overall health. Many skin concerns stem from deeper imbalances within your body, such as:

  • Hormonal Fluctuations
  • Chronic Stress
  • Nutrient Deficiencies
  • Toxin Exposure

These factors can disrupt healing, trigger inflammation, and impact your skin’s resilience. The good news? With the right care, you can uncover and address these root causes, achieving clearer, healthier skin naturally.

The Connection Between Stress and Skin Health

Stress isn’t just emotional—it’s a major contributor to skin issues. Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, which can:

  • Worsen breakouts and inflammation
  • Trigger flare-ups of eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea
  • Contribute to dryness, redness, and delayed healing

Stress comes in many forms—illness, environmental toxins, surgery, or even rapid weight changes. That’s why our approach prioritizes holistic stress management. Incorporate strategies like:

  • Mindfulness and meditation to calm your mind and body.
  • Breathing exercises, such as box breathing or progressive muscle relaxation.
  • Regular physical activity to reduce stress hormones naturally.

By calming your stress response, we help reduce skin inflammation and improve overall well-being.

Hormones and Skin Imbalances

Hormonal fluctuations frequently manifest in the skin, causing issues such as:

  • Acne or excessive oiliness
  • Dry, flaky patches
  • Irritation or sensitivity

Key hormone disruptors include:

  • DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) A potent androgen hormone that increases oil production, contributing to acne and hair thinning.
  • Thyroid Dysfunction Imbalances can lead to dryness, slow healing, and changes in skin texture.
  • Life-Stage Hormone Shifts Hormonal changes during adolescence, motherhood, or menopause can disrupt your skin’s natural balance.

Using functional hormone testing, we identify imbalances and create personalized treatment plans. These may include supplementation, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments to bring your hormones into harmony.

Nutrient Deficiencies and Diet’s Role in Skin Health

Nourishing your skin starts from within. Essential nutrients play a critical role in hydration, repair, and immunity. Deficiencies in the following can significantly impact your skin:

  • Zinc, Iron, and Vitamin D Crucial for collagen production, elasticity, and wound healing.
  • Selenium and Iodine Key for thyroid health, influencing skin texture and hydration.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids Help combat inflammation and support a healthy skin barrier.

Through functional lab testing, we identify deficiencies and recommend tailored solutions, including:

  • Personalized supplementation plans.
  • Diet plans rich in skin-supporting foods like fatty fish, leafy greens, and antioxidant-rich berries.

Actionable At-Home Steps for Better Skin

1. Evaluate Your Skincare Products

  • Avoid products with synthetic or natural fragrances, which can irritate the skin.
  • Steer clear of pore-clogging ingredients like isopropyl myristate, coconut oil, and lanolin.
  • Use a Pore-Clogging Ingredient Checker like CosDNA.

2. Choose Clean, Non-Toxic Products

  • Use apps like Think Dirty or the EWG Skin Deep Database to find safer skincare options.
  • Switch to hypoallergenic laundry detergents free from dyes, fragrances, and harsh chemicals.

3. Prioritize a Consistent Skincare Routine

  • Cleanse gently, moisturize daily, and protect with SPF 30 or higher.
  • Incorporate chemical exfoliants like salicylic or glycolic acid 1-2 times per week for clearer skin.

4. Optimize Your Environment

  • Install shower filters to reduce hard water effects on your skin.
  • Use air purifiers to minimize exposure to airborne irritants.

5. Eat Skin-Friendly Foods

  • Focus on a diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and hydration-promoting foods.
  • Avoid high-glycemic foods and excessive dairy if they exacerbate skin issues.
