The Spa Dr

Is Your Health Written on Your Face?

Acne, eczema, psoriasis and other skin complaints aren't just beauty dilemmas, they may actually be your skin's way of sending out an SOS that an illness is lurking in your body.  The skin is both the largest organ in the body and the most visible. It is the body’s primary defense against the elements and speaks about you, your health, and your diet. 

So why is it that some people struggle with skin problems while others have glorious skin? 

In my practice every day and as The Spa Dr., patients visit me for skin problems such as acne, rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. Once you understand how comprehensive your skin is, you will see that it only makes sense to start caring for your skin where it starts; deep below the surface.  

On today's show, I uncover the root causes and triggers of skin problems, including skinflammation, my 7 steps to glowing skin and vibrant health, and the top 7 best and worst foods.
