Resolving Acne, Psoriasis, And Other Skin Issues Using Functional Medicine

This episode is brought to you by Mitopure and Levels.   Skin
problems like acne, psoriasis, and eczema are often treated with
over-the-counter lotions, creams, and potions or even with
antibiotics. But while these options may reduce symptoms
temporarily, they don't get to the root cause of the problem. In
Functional Medicine, we dig deep to determine the underlying cause
of skin issues, which often originate in the gut—treat the gut, and
the skin clears up. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth
Boham, Dhru Purohit, and Dr. Todd LePine about the pathophysiology
of acne, why diet matters for skin health, and how gut health is
related to skin health.   Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician
and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The
UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and
lecturing, she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals
of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of
nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training
other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing.   Dhru
