That's so many people are treating their skin with Loathings creams medications, but they're ignoring the root cause, which is in the gut now when I get through all five I'll tell you how to correct them But I want to kind of just touch on each one first number one altered microbiome that might mean we just don't have enough good guys We have too many bad guys that could come from your diet or especially taking an antibiotic One of the most common effects of having alteration in your gut is rosacea Even if you look at how they treat rosacea they give you an antibiotic because they want to kill off the excess Bad bacteria and it does work temporarily. It's going to come back You actually worse this imbalance in the microbiome creates inflammation that then becomes systemic and it can go throughout the body But it shows up in your cheeks now. There's other problems in the digestive tract number two Cebow small intestine bacteria overgrowth. That's a condition where you have the microbes really in the wrong place Most of your microbes should be in the large intestine But when those microbes start to go up into the small intestine you develop
Nutritional deficiencies because these microbes compete for your food and you definitely have a lot of inflammation Sometimes arthritis, but you can also have rosacea I'm telling you if you want really nice skin just fix your gut and you will have beautiful skin Number three is inflammation in the gut and you'll feel like a pain or tightness or bloating in the gut and the great majority of the time It's what the person's eating the big culprit is gluten in wheat and other grains and here's what you need to know about inflammation the more inflammation in the gut that you have The less you can absorb zinc a deficiency of zinc can cause rashes But also the deficiency of zinc will cause the flaky Scaly red skin around your nose around your mouth, but deeper It's the inflammation the gut that won't let you absorb zinc the worst off your digestive system is the fewer foods You should eat in a given meal and this is why carnivore seems to be really good for a lot of people because you're eliminating
A lot of different things that could be aggravating the gut when you think about zinc. It's a great healer of wounds Ulcers, leaky gut as a side note. There's a couple other things that can cause this flaky dry Scaly skin high levels of omega-6 fatty acids from seed oils and not having enough omega-3 fatty acids From fish and cod liver oil. Okay, so that's inflammation But let's say that inflammation now has become chronic and it's gonna be the for a period of time now You're gonna lose your villi the little root-like projections on the inside of the colon in the purpose of these villi is to have more surface area to absorb things You're gonna have a hard time absorbing nutrients and especially vitamin D There are a lot of autoimmune skin disorders that are directly related to low vitamin D because once you don't have enough Vitamin D your immune system is vulnerable one solution is to take a lot more of it Okay, so that will penetrate
Into the areas that need to absorb it being out in the sun on a regular basis or even using certain types of light therapy And the last one is there's something going on with your gallbladder Maybe you had it removed or you just don't produce enough bile salts if you don't have enough bile now We can't break down and digest the fat-ciple vitamins, especially vitamin A and if you're deficient in vitamin A You may start developing those little goose pimples on the back of your arms or your legs In which case you need to start taking things that are high in vitamin A Beef liver or even cow liver oil has a really good source of active Vitamin A called retinol and the cool thing about cow liver oil It's high in omega-3 fatty acids which also can help those little goose pimple things in the back of your arm And so if you don't have a gallbladder or you're sluggish with bile You might need to take bile. You can get ox bile You can get purified bile salts or even something called tutka which works really good Then what happens is one of the symptoms could be itchy skin
So what's at the bottom of that? Well, it's your diet. It could be stress It could be that you're taking estrogen therapy like birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy Or it could be that you have too much insulin that's depleting your bile because you eat a lot of carbohydrates A good probiotic would be very beneficial also consuming for menifoods Sour-crout kimchi yogurt raw milk cheese actually eating like raw salad that's grown in your garden It also has microbes that can be a form of a probiotic believe it or not If you have SIBO a lot of bloating and you get worse when you eat fiber You're gonna have to go in the carnivore for a while This is why so many people clear up their autoimmune diseases as well as their skin issues when they Spring is here and the shopping list is long time to make a lows run by three bags get three free Stay green one cubic foot garden soil plus right now members can earn four times the points on an eligible purchase Start spring off strong with these deals and more our best lineup is here at lows
