Skin Health & Disorders
Is Your Skin Telling You Something?
Your skin is your body’s largest organ—and one of the most important indicators of your overall health. Acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, hives, rashes, and premature aging aren’t just surface-level concerns. They are signals that something deeper in the body is out of balance.
Skin issues often reflect imbalances in:
-
The gut microbiome (dysbiosis, leaky gut, candida overgrowth)
-
Liver detoxification and terrain health (toxin overload, sluggish clearance)
-
Hormone regulation (stress, thyroid, estrogen, and androgens)
-
Circadian rhythm misalignment (disrupted sleep-wake cycles, late-night eating, lack of natural light exposure)
-
Mitochondrial function (your cells’ ability to produce energy and repair tissue)
When your inner terrain is resilient, your skin naturally radiates health.
The Terrain Theory Approach to Skin Healing
Traditional dermatology often focuses on suppressing symptoms with creams, antibiotics, or steroids. But according to terrain theory, true healing doesn’t come from fighting the skin itself—it comes from supporting the internal environment where health or disease takes root.
Instead of asking “What cream should I use?” we ask:
-
What stressors are burdening the terrain (toxins, processed foods, EMFs, chronic stress)?
-
How is the gut-skin axis functioning?
-
Are circadian rhythms disrupted, preventing deep cellular repair?
By restoring balance to the terrain, the skin can return to its natural state of resilience and beauty.
Another common root cause of skin disorders is a high toxic burden. Our skin is a major detox pathway and when the liver is stagnant or overburdened toxins will be pushed out through the skin. Toxins can also be contributing to dysbiosis and inflammation in the gut.
By getting to the root cause of your skin issues and identifying these imbalances in the body you can look and feel your best again. We will work together to heal your gut, support detoxification, and create a customized nutrition and lifestyle plan based on your individual needs.
Circadian Rhythm & Skin Health
Did you know your skin has its own circadian clock?
-
During the day, your skin acts as a barrier—protecting you from UV radiation, pollutants, and pathogens.
-
At night, it shifts into repair mode—stimulating collagen production, cellular detox, and wound healing.
But when your circadian rhythm is disrupted (through late-night screen time, irregular sleep, or artificial light exposure), this natural cycle is thrown off. The result? Premature aging, dullness, poor wound healing, and chronic skin conditions.
By syncing your lifestyle with your circadian biology, we support your skin’s innate ability to protect and repair itself.
The Role of GHK-CU Copper Peptide in Skin Regeneration
One of the most exciting breakthroughs in skin health is GHK-CU copper peptide. This naturally occurring peptide, first discovered in human plasma, has powerful regenerative properties:
-
Stimulates collagen and elastin production
-
Improves skin firmness and elasticity
-
Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and visible aging
-
Enhances wound healing and scar repair
-
Supports antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in the skin
Because copper peptides also support the terrain at a cellular level, they don’t just mask symptoms—they help restore the skin’s innate ability to repair and renew.
My favorite way to increase GHK-CU copper peptide is using light therapy patches.
