With extensive clinical experience in skin health and being the Author of The Australian Healthy Skin Diet we know and understand the hardships of skin conditions and the challenges this has on your wellbeing.
Acne
Anyone who’s experienced acne will know how emotionally isolating and shattering it can be for your self- confidence. It might show itself as a combination of whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, papules, cysts or nodules.
Oily skin
Many people tend to ignore changes in their bodies and skin, because hormones are a fact of life. However oily skin can actually be an indication of an underlying metabolic dysfunction that requires a medical diagnosis and long- term healthy eating plan.
Skin tags
Are your skin tags causing discomfort or irritation or even making you self conscious if they are in a visible location? What if I told you that this too was linked to an underlying metabolic condition?
Hidrenitis Suppurativa
When a boil is not just a boil… Hair follicles become blocked, they leak into the dermis causing swelling, nodules and painful wounds. As with acne and PCOS, eliminating foods that might contribute to an inflammatory response is a key treatment.
Psoriasis
Anyone who’s had psoriasis knows the insatiable itch it can cause and the despair of unsightly patches that can show up anywhere. Like many skin conditions, psoriasis is a combination of genetics, a hyperactive immune system and environmental stressors but can also point to deeper metabolic turmoil. So what does metabolic dysfunction have to do with acne?
Hives and eczema
Just the words make me itchy! Hives act like an allergic response, with sudden itchy, swollen, dry lesions and welts appearing. Or do you suffer from the scaly, itchy, crusty, red rash called Eczema? Did you know food intolerances can cause symptoms due to additives or chemicals naturally occurring in foods by irritating nerve endings?
Dermatitis Herpetiformis
“All disease begins in the gut,” is true for dermatitis herpetiformis. There is a strong link between this blistering autoimmune skin disease and coeliac disease which requires lifelong nutrition therapy.
Rosacea
Are your cheeks always red and flushed, as if they’ve just come back from a run in the Arctic. Rosacea can be linked to genetics, sun exposure, pale skin tone and abnormal blood vessels in the face. But what many people don’t know is that this is an inflammatory disorder and proper nutrition is crucial for keeping your metabolic, immune and gut health in order.
Pigmentation
Research has found a link between how you eat and how your hormones respond in the case of pigmentation.
