the surprising science to looking and feeling radiant from the inside out

Skin disorders beat out anxiety, depression, back pain, and diabetes as the number one reason Americans see their doctors. Unfortunately, the vast majority leave the office with the underlying conditions at the root of their skin issues unresolved. Bowe explains how many skin disorders are manifestations of irregularities originating in the gut. She encourages readers to focus on the microbiome, and highlights the connection between sleep, stress, diet, gastrointestinal health, and the look of your skin
