You see them all over the media: Beautiful people with glowing, healthy skin. Sure, photoshop, lighting, and makeup all play a role. But we all know it’s not that easy. Millions of Americans strive to recreate that glow through expensive skin creams, lotions, pills, vitamins, and other topical treatments with no luck. In fact, the skincare industry is on track to rake in more than $189 billion by the year 2025.
So what’s the difference between you and them? Many of these people you see are rich and famous and can afford all of the products, specialists, and nutrition they need. But that’s not the reason. The fact of the matter is, so much of what people spend on skincare products is a waste of money. There’s more to it. And it turns out, the answer is simple.
What if we told you that the answer was in your gut? Sounds silly, right? We are talking about your skin after all, not your stomach. However, modern research shows that many diseases and other conditions are actually tied to your gut health. That includes skin conditions such as acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, dandruff, and many more. It all begins in the gut, and it’s all tied to what you eat.
Perhaps you’ve heard of the gut-skin axis? If not, let us explain. Scientists have found that there is a line of communication between your brain, immune system, and skin. That line of communication is your gut microbiome, which is a network of 100 trillion microorganisms living in your gut. Your gut microbiome communicates with your skin, which influences your appearance and skin conditions like those mentioned above.
We all know how annoying, embarrassing and even painful skin problems can be. There are a million so-called “cures” out there. “Take vitamin A and zinc for your skin,” “take these probiotics for acne,” “slap some salicylic acid on to take care of that hormonal acne.” The list goes on and on. But in the end, these are temporary solutions.
Prescriptions, over-the-counter probiotics, and pharmaceuticals may work temporarily (or not at all), but in the end, skin problems just seem to come back.
Your doctor may even prescribe probiotics to help with your gut health. The problem with those doctor-prescribed probiotics for acne is that they only contain a handful of strains of bacteria. Your gut microbiome actually contains over 8,000 strains that make up trillions of microbes. Your microbiome is unique to only you, and so is your skin. There is no one-size-fits-all cure.
The bottom line is, if you’ve been struggling with skin problems for a while, it’s probably time for a new approach. What works for someone else may not work for you. This is where Viome’s new Precision Supplements comes in. You don’t need a prescription for it, and it is personalized just for you, your gut microbiome, and your skin. The Precision Supplements formulation is based solely on you and your unique health scores.
3 Steps to Improved Gut Health and Healthy Skin
Here’s how it works:
1. Measure:
Our Gut Intelligence and Health Intelligence tests measure your health down to a molecular level, from your mitochondrial health and cellular health to your oxidative stress and gut health. You will have access to over 20 unique scores (30 with Health Intelligence) on the Viome App, so you can keep track of your progress when you retest.
2. Nourish:
We provide precise food and supplement recommendations: what foods are best for you (your personalized Superfoods), what foods you should avoid, along with serving sizes and recommended servings per day of each food group.
When you subscribe, you can also look forward to receiving an exciting package in the mail each month. It contains your Precision Supplement capsules, designed just for you. We’ve all heard of the benefits of turmeric on skin, or that astaxanthin or various vitamins can help with acne. But which ones? And how much? Viome has the answer. And your answer is not the same as anyone else’s. Whether you should take curcumin, ashwagandha, dandelion root extract, zinc, acai or Vitamin A will all be determined by your test results. There are more than 200 natural ingredients that go into your daily Precision Supplement sachets (8 capsules each), all in the correct dosages!
Additionally, your box includes customized prebiotics and probiotics designed just for your gut microbiota. No more probiotics that supposedly work for everyone. Simply pour the powder pouches into a glass of water or juice, mix it up, and enjoy. These powders include just what your gut needs, and nothing else.
Each month you will receive a new box with your prebiotics, probiotics, and personalized supplement sachets.
Not only can improving your gut health help your skin, but a healthier gut can also help improve immunity, mental clarity, sleep, energy levels, digestive wellness and even help you lose weight. See, gut health really is tied to everything!
3. Improve:
Here’s where you close that loop and see the improvements on your health journey. When you retest periodically, you can experience health benefits, better skin, have any adjustments made to your unique supplement formula, and be able to track your progress with your test results.
A healthy gut = healthy, glowing skin. It’s time to heal your gut. It’s time to begin your journey to healthier skin and improved overall health with Viome’s new customized vitamins, supplements, and probiotics product, Precision Supplements. Find out more and subscribe today!
