Beauty Tips with Dr. Burkenstock: Dr. B explains the gut, brain, skin connection

Did you know your gut can impact your skin? It’s called the gut, brain, skin connection.

When we have an unhealthy gut, we don`t absorb vitamins and minerals properly, but what we have instead is an over growth of bad bacteria.

Those bad bacteria send out toxins in the body. The toxins influence not only our brain making us excessively moody, but also effects the skin. Those toxins cause an outbreak in rashes, acne, and other annoying skin conditions.

Add prebiotics and probiotics to your diet. Probiotics go into the gut and start healing the gut with the good bacteria. Prebiotics help the probiotics grow, sort of like a fertilizer for the probiotics.

Lisa Naquin, Patient of Dr. Burkenstock, said, “I take the pre and the probiotic every morning. All of a sudden you are feeling better and you don`t realize it. All of a sudden people are telling you how much better you look and you`re acting better, just all around, it`s more fun.”

So when taken together, the combo of pre and probiotics is very excellent for the body, the skin, the brain, the gut, and your overall health.
