FOCUS AREA

Skin health

Your skin often reflects what is happening inside: gut, hormones, nutrient supply and stress leave their mark. That is why I look at skin complaints holistically – with a view to possible causes.

Booking & next steps

Acne

Acne develops when the sebaceous glands produce more sebum and pores become clogged. Besides the skin itself, hormones, blood sugar and gut health often play a role – in adults, too.

Typical signs

Inflamed spots

especially chin, jaw, back

Cycle-related

flare-ups before your period

Oily skin

enlarged pores

Marks

redness, scars

My approach: I look at hormones, blood sugar and gut – for example with hormone or stool testing – and tailor nutrition and micronutrients accordingly.

Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with an impaired skin barrier. It usually comes in flare-ups – possible triggers include stress, allergens, climate or diet.

Typical signs

Severe itching

often at night

Dry skin

flaky, tight

Typical areas

elbow creases, backs of knees, face

Flare-ups

after stress or infections

My approach: Alongside dermatological treatment, I look for personal triggers and at the gut barrier, microbiome and nutrient status.

Eczema

Eczema is an umbrella term for inflammatory skin reactions – such as contact, hand or seborrhoeic eczema. It is often worth taking a close look at what keeps irritating the skin.

Typical signs

Redness & blisters

weeping or flaky

Itching & burning

on the affected areas

Common areas

hands, face, scalp

Recurring

after contact with triggers

My approach: Together we explore possible triggers and look at gut, liver and nutrient supply as part of the bigger picture.
