Now, back to this week’s topic…
Many people treat skin issues like acne or eczema with creams, hoping for a quick fix. Although these can help for a limited time, they do not usually address the root cause.
Persistent skin problems are usually a sign that your body’s detox systems—like the liver, kidneys, lungs, and gut—are overburdened.
When these organs struggle, your skin becomes a backup detox organ, leading to breakouts and irritation.
Your skin does more than make you look good—it’s your largest detox organ and a key part of keeping your body healthy.
If you struggle with skin breakouts, rashes, or dryness, your body might be signaling a deeper problem with one of your detox systems.
In this episode, we break down:
How your liver, lungs, gut, and kidneys work together to keep your skin healthy
Why nutrition is the key to better detoxification
Practical steps to support your skin from the inside out
Episode Highlights
Your Skin is a Detox Organ
Sweat helps your body eliminate toxins. But excessive sweating when you’re not hot? That could be a sign of stress or toxin overload.
The Role of Your Detox Organs
Liver: Converts fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble forms for elimination. Lacking nutrients like choline? Your liver might store toxins instead, leading to long-term issues.
Lungs: Expel gaseous toxins. Deep breathing, yoga, and exercise can help clear them out.
Gut: Houses probiotics that aid in detoxification. Poor gut health can lead to toxin buildup, contributing to stubborn skin issues.
Kidneys: Filter toxins from your blood. Dehydration makes this more challenging, resulting in dry skin and other problems.
Nutrition for Healthy Skin
What to eat: Organic, grass-fed protein, fresh vegetables, and foods high in vitamin E, D, and choline.
What to avoid: Excess sugar—it feeds harmful bacteria and fungi in your gut, worsening skin problems.
Hydration matters: Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water daily.
Fungal Infections and Skin
Overgrowth of fungi like Candida can release toxins into your body, causing itchy skin, joint pain, and even "unpoppable" pimples.
Key Takeaways
Skin issues are often signs of deeper imbalances in your body’s detox systems.
Nutrition and hydration are critical for supporting detoxification and clear skin.
Address the root cause instead of treating the symptoms with creams or topical solutions.
