ANECDOTE

Personal Healing From Peeling Fingertips

  • Tyler Kruse had painful peeling fingertips that doctors misattributed to bacteria in hockey gloves.
  • After gut testing he found 22 IgG food sensitivities and gut infections, and his skin healed when digestion and elimination improved.
ADVICE

Test The Gut For Persistent Skin Issues

  • Test the gut when skin problems persist because the gut houses most of the immune system.
  • Address dysbiosis, elimination and food sensitivities rather than relying on long-term topical or symptomatic fixes.
ADVICE

Treat Constipation As A Skin Factor

  • Expect at least one bowel movement daily and ideally one to two per day for proper detoxification.
  • Improve constipation to support skin health because stool is a major detox pathway.
