What do your skin, your gut, and your daily habits have in common? Dr. Mary Alice Mina and Dr. Katrina Coulter take a deep dive into the powerful connection between gut health, skin health, and the impact of today’s food systems.

They explore the importance of maintaining a healthy microbiome through a diverse, fiber-rich diet, fermented foods, and mindful antibiotic use. You’ll learn how hydration, sleep, exercise, and lifestyle choices shape gut microbiome diversity—and why even small daily habits matter. They also discuss the effects of antibiotics on both gut and skin, discuss the role of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, and share insights into GLP-1 agonists and gut health. Plus, they explain simple ways to assess gut health through digestion and other key indicators.
