No discussion about gut health would be complete without talking about PROBIOTICS!⁣ 🦠

Probiotics are live microorganisms found in foods that increase the numbers of beneficial bacteria within the gut microbiome. These beneficial microorganisms are known as "commensal" bacteria, often referred to as "good" bacteria.

Probiotics play a really important role in promoting overall health, particularly when looking at the health and integrity of both the gut & the skin. In the gut, commensal bacteria populations such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species support a balanced microbiome, aiding in digestion, promote nutrient absorption, and regulate our immune system function. They also help maintain a healthy gut lining and prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.

Recent research has also also highlighted the important role of probiotics in managing skin conditions and promoting skin health. By modulating the gut-brain-skin axis, probiotics can help alleviate or prevent skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea - which can be attributed to their ability to reduce inflammation, improve skin barrier function, and regulate the immune system, ultimately contributing to healthier, more radiant skin.

A powerful way to support the health of your gut & skin is to incorporate more probiotic-rich foods into your diet. This includes foods such as:
- kimchi
- sauerkraut
- kefir
- natural yoghurt
- tempeh
- kombucha
- sourdough

Probiotic supplements can also be beneficial in the short term in managing and treating gut or skin conditions. However, given the huge number of bacterial strains out there, it's always best to consult your practitioner to ensure you're taking the right strain for you!

Glowing skin starts from within 💫

It's a little more complicated than that - so let us explain! Despite the distance between them, our digestive system & skin are closely connected via the gut-skin axis. This means that the gut microbiome and our skin microbiome are constantly communicating with each other. Changes within one environment, is likely to result in changes to the other (& vice versa).

When our gut is inflamed, irritated or leaky, we're likely to experience skin breakouts, acne & eczema/dermatitis that mirror this internal situation. One of the key driving factor behind these skin concerns is inflammation.

When we look at the health, integrity & complexion of the skin, we ALWAYS look to the gut to see what the root cause of your skin concerns actually is. When we think of the two systems as being connected, it's easy to see why healing the gut is key to healing the skin. Attending to the internal environment, whilst also maintaining good hygiene practices, keeping up your skincare routine & getting regular skin treatments will do wonders for the healthy & integrity of your skin.

Keep your eyes peeled for our next post where we will let you in on our top tips to optimising gut health and maintaining healthy, glowing skin! ✨

PRACTITIONER SHOUT OUT✨

Our women’s health & fertility specialist .noonan.naturopath is currently supporting 11 women in their 2nd trimester who are all enjoying healthy pregnancies. These 11 women had all experienced multiple miscarriages in the past. Incredible Maree, we are so proud of the work you’re doing 😍

***mhealth

The preconception period is an important opportunity for a woman and her partner to ensure they are as healthy as possible, before trying to conceive. It takes 150 days for an egg to develop and 106 days for s***m to fully mature. Taking this 5-6 month period to optimise health and wellbeing lays the foundation for a healthy and safe pregnancy for both mum & bub.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During this period, both partners should act as though they are already pregnant! Eating well, limiting alcohol and caffeine, quitting smoking/vaping, staying physically active, reducing stress and achieving good quality sleep will go a long way toward optimising health & fertility. It is important to remember that pregnancy outcomes are influenced equally by both sets of DNA and the health of both parents!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seeking the knowledge and advice of a naturopath is an excellent way to prepare for the journey that is pregnancy. Your practitioner can assist you with implementing positive health practices that support general health & wellbeing, as well as optimising fertility. Our practitioners can provide support with:
- fertility assessment and testing
- hormone assessment and balancing
- maximising egg and s***m quality
- supporting detoxification pathways
- optimising nutrition status
- reducing stress

Dealing with eczema can be challenging, but the right skincare routine can make all the difference! Choose skincare products and routines that soothe, hydrate, and protect your sensitive skin. ​​​​​​​​​
Incorporate products enriched with soothing ingredients like colloidal oats, ceramides, and shea butter. These natural wonders can help calm inflammation, restore the skin barrier, and provide deep nourishment.

Steer clear of harsh exfoliants, fragrances, and strong detergents that can trigger eczema flare-ups. Opt for products labeled 'dermatologist-tested,' 'hypoallergenic,' and 'eczema-friendly' to prevent irritation.

Remember, consistency is key. Stick to your routine, stay hydrated, and be patient – skin transformation takes time ✨

Support

Eczema, a chronic skin condition affecting so many, has several underlying factors contributing to its development. Understanding these drivers and triggers is essential for effective management and prevention.

Genetics, environmental allergens and irritants, digestive dysfunction, autoimmunity, stress & weather/climate changes may all be implicated in the development and severity of eczema.

Using a holistic approach, our naturopaths can support you in addressing both the internal factors and external triggers to address underlying dysfunction and restore the protective barrier of your skin.

You asked - we listened! Your complete guide to coming off the pill, what to expect and how to make the transition as smooth as possible. Be sure to save this post (& tell all your girlfriends to as well)!

The decision to come off the oral contraceptive pill is often a hard one for many. Unfortunately, after getting off the pill there is no quick fix to bring our hormones back into balance. Everyone’s transition will be slightly different - some easier and some more challenging. It is so important to patient with yourself during this time and know that you have made a positive choice for your overall health & wellbeing!

Supporting your body & mind in the months before and during the transition phase can have a really positive impact in bringing your hormones back into balance.

Here at The Sana Co, our naturopaths are passionate about using pathology & functional testing to assist them in best supporting the health & wellbeing of their clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Testing enables our naturopaths to detect imbalances, excesses or deficiencies within the body, that can then be brought back into balance using herbal blends, targeted nutrition, diet and lifestyle interventions. Testing also allows our naturopaths to track the progress being made toward restoring balance and ensure your personalised treatment plan is right for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pathology testing can tell us sooo much about what's going on inside and is key to not only preventing disease, but to promoting health, wellbeing and vitality!

Female hormones can be confusing, we know! So we've created this go-to guide to help you better understand the many important roles of some of the key female hormones. Ideally, we want all hormones to be tightly regulated and functioning in harmony with each other. ​​​​​​​​​

However in reality, many factors can disrupt the delicate balance of these hormones - leading to fertility changes, menstrual irregularities and a whole host of different symptoms (more on that to come)!

At The Sana Co, we like to think of the menstrual cycle as a vital sign - it gives us insight into your current health status. When we start to see changes in our cycle, this can be an indication that something is not quite right.

SKIN HEALTH //
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that your skin has it's own microbiome? Yep that' s right! What we usually only reserve for digestive talk, our skin has it's own microbiome that helps to maintain it's function (and appearance!). The bacteria that lives on our skin can help to maintain healthy immune function of the skin as well as helping to keep pathogenic bacteria or bad bacteria out. When it comes to eczema we can often see an imbalance of this bacteria and this can also occur in conditions like acne as well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So when we are looking at factors that effect your skin, we are always taking into consideration your skins microbiome, and what effect this might be having on your skin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what can effect your skin's microbiome? No surprise that the products you apply topically can have a big impact on your skins microbiome, so ensuring that the products your'e using are appropriate for you and your skin type is vital. We like to keep it simple here at The Sana Co but heading to a qualified dermal therapist will be able to give you a more personalised skin care program.
Our internal gut bacteria can also influence our skins microbiome, so pump up the probiotic foods (think fermented foods like kombucha, sauerkraut, miso etc) and your fibre to help promote good gut health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
