SIBO Made Simple EP 25 | Face Off: What Your Skin Says About Your Gut and Vice Versa with Dr. Amy Bader
We are BACK with season 3 of SIBO Made Simple! I’m tackling some of your most-requested topics right at the beginning of the season, including today’s conversation, which is all about the skin-gut connection. Rashes, breakouts, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea—you name it, and I’ve been asked if it’s a symptom of SIBO.
Luckily, I was able to bring on the perfect person to talk about how what shows up outwardly on our face is connected to the internal motherboard. Dr. Amy Bader, a naturopathic physician and creator of SkinTē is here to explain her process of evaluating someone’s skin and what it tells her about thyroid and adrenal health, gut integrity, liver function, and so many other underlying issues.

- Why dermatologists get it wrong with Bandaid treatments
