Addressing the Gut-Skin Axis: A Root Cause Approach to Chronic Skin Conditions

In this episode of New Frontiers, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald sits down
with Dr. Valerie Gershenhorn, a leading expert in functional
dermatology and a Clinical Team Member for Diagnostic Solutions
Laboratory, to explore the profound impact of the gut-skin axis and
autonomic nervous system on chronic skin conditions like acne,
eczema, and more. Dr. Gershenhorn shares her comprehensive
approach, including the use of functional testing, targeted
nutrition, and specific supplements to address the root causes of
skin issues. Clinicians will gain valuable insights into how gut
health influences skin conditions and practical strategies for
discovering imbalances with GI-MAP testing, and how to correct
these findings in clinical practice. This episode is a must-listen
for those looking to deepen their understanding of the connection
between gut and skin health. ~DrKF
