Treating Your Skin Naturally From the Inside Out
Gut Health Testing
The gut-skin connection is a key factor when we treat skin concerns. Disruptions in gut bacteria, inflammation, or digestive dysfunction can lead to skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Supporting gut health is essential for resolving persistent skin concerns and promoting long-term skin improvement.
Nutrition Planning and Advice
Our nutritional planning addresses skin conditions by identifying nutrient gaps and optimising your intake of skin-supportive foods. We then tailor specific nutrients, such as antioxidants, vitamins, and health fats, to support your specific concerns. This approach promotes long-term skin health and lasting relief from unwanted symptoms.
Food Sensitivities or Intolerances
Hidden food allergies, sensitivities or intolerances can trigger inflammation, immune responses and flare skin issues like eczema or acne. We can help identify problematic foods; utilising evidence-based testing where appropriate. This allows us to create a customised elimination and reintroduction plan that reduces inflammation, regulates the immune system and restores skin balance.
Hormone Testing
Hormonal issues like PCOS, cortisol dysregulation, thyroid issues or oestrogen imbalance can cause symptoms like acne, oily skin, dryness, or eczema. We offer comprehensive testing to identify and correct hormone imbalances, promoting clearer, healthier skin and addressing underlying hormone health issues rather than masking symptoms.
Therapeutic Supplementation
We offer evidence-based nutritional therapy (supplement) recommendations, often compounding a tailored product based on your specific needs. We include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants that promote skin healing and target root causes of common skin concerns. Therapeutic doses of key nutrients can be a game changer when it comes to skin health!
Lifestyle Advice
Our approach emphasises lifestyle adjustments that directly impact skin, focussing on improving sleep quality and managing stress. Chronic stress and poor sleep can disrupt hormonal balance and increase inflammation, leading to skin issues. We provide personalised strategies to support better rest and stress reduction, promoting overall skin health.
Holistic Support for Your Skin Health Concerns
Acne
Acne often results from hormonal imbalances, inflammation, or gut health issues. At PHC, we identify underlying triggers and create a personalised plan that includes dietary changes, hormonal support, appropriate testing, nutritional therapy and gut-healing strategies to reduce breakouts and support clearer skin.
Eczema
Eczema is often linked to immune dysregulation, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut issues like SIBO, digestive dysfunction or food sensitivities. Our holistic eczema treatment addresses the root causes using targeted nutrition, dietary and lifestyle adjustments functional testing to reduce flare-ups and soothe the skin.
Rosacea
Rosacea can be aggravated by gut issues, inflammation, and triggers like food, environment or stress. Through thorough case assessment and investigative testing, we can identify these triggers, recommending effective, evidence-based treatment protocols, anti-inflammatory diets, and lifestyle modifications to reduce redness and irritation.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that can result in scaling, inflammation, and discomfort. It is often linked to inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and nutrient imbalances. At PHC we address these root causes by recommending specialised dietary strategies, addressing nutrient imbalances or deficiencies, supporting gut health, and optimising detoxification pathways to promote long-term skin healing.
Dermatitis
Dermatitis can be triggered by allergens, irritants, gut dysfunction or immune system imbalances. We work to identify and eliminate potential triggers, such as specific foods or allergens, using testing, targeted elimination diets and nutritional therapy. By reducing inflammation, strengthening the immune system, and addressing nutrient deficiencies, we work with you to create a personalised plan to promote long-term skin health.
Dry, Itchy or Oily Skin
These skin issues can stem from hormonal imbalances, dehydration, food or environmental allergens, or nutrient deficiencies. Our skin health nutritionists identify and address these factors by recommending dietary and lifestyle strategies, key nutrients, and hormone balancing strategies to restore skin’s natural moisture and oil levels.
Keratosis Pilaris
Keratosis Pilaris, often characterised by small, rough bumps on the skin, is typically caused by the buildup of keratin in hair follicles. This is often triggered or aggravated by nutrient deficiencies, imbalances in essential fatty acids, and food sensitivities. We can help manage this condition by thoroughly investigating and treating these underlying imbalances or supporting you with identifying and avoiding triggers.
Hives
Hives are raised, itchy welts that can result from allergic reactions, stress, poor detoxification, or underlying health issues. At PHC, we can help identify triggers through testing and evaluation of potential allergies or sensitivities, as well as thorough case analysis. By helping you eliminate your unique triggers and supporting detoxification, gut and immune health, we can reduce and prevent hives and restore skin comfort.
