More about the book

Internationally renowned dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe reveals the crucial link between gut health and radiant skin, introducing a 21-day program designed to enhance skin beauty and health. Each year, nearly 80 million Americans seek medical advice for skin issues, making skin disorders the leading reason for doctor visits, surpassing anxiety, depression, and other health concerns. Unfortunately, most receive only superficial treatments, leaving the root causes of their skin problems unaddressed. Dr. Bowe emphasizes that skin reflects overall health, illustrating that skin disorders like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and premature aging often stem from gut irregularities. Traditional treatments such as lasers and creams are insufficient for achieving lasting skin health. Instead, she focuses on the microbiome, where trillions of microbes communicate with the skin through the brain. The book explores the interconnections between sleep, stress, diet, and gastrointestinal health, all vital for skin wellness. With accessible scientific explanations, practical skincare strategies, and a transformative 21-day program, this guide offers a comprehensive approach to achieving great skin from within and beyond.
