The Gut–Skin–Mind Connection: A Functional Medicine Approach to Skin Health

Join Catherine on Wednesday 6th May at 6:30pm for a talk that explores the growing understanding of the gut–skin axis, the connection between the health of the digestive system, the immune response, and the skin. We will look at how factors such as gut imbalance, inflammation, and nutrient absorption can influence skin function and contribute to common skin concerns.

This talk will also introduce the role of psychodermatology, the interaction between the mind, the nervous system, and the skin. Stress, emotional wellbeing, and nervous system regulation can all have a measurable impact on skin health, often influencing both the onset and progression of skin conditions.Drawing on a functional medicine perspective, this talk offers a more integrated way of understanding skin health. Rather than viewing the skin in isolation, it considers the wider systems that support it, and explores what can help bring the body back into balance.
