Healthy Skin from Within: Herbal Medicine & the Gut-Skin Connection

When you think about "glass skin" or "glowy skin," your mind probably goes straight to skincare products. Facials and multi-step routines can help, but what we're learning today is that skin health is directly tied to the balance between your gut, your nervous system, and your mental health.

Your skin is already telling you something. Breakouts right before a big deadline or after fried food, or redness that flares after a rough week of eating on the go: in Traditional Chinese Medicine, these signs mean something.

If you've noticed your skin shifting with your stress levels, digestion, or environment, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone. How we feel mentally affects our digestion and gut health, and that shows up directly on our skin.

Led by a TCM-informed Business Consultant and a Naturopathic Doctor, this session will explore how to:

Use Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to get unstuck in your daily habits
Manage stress through food and lifestyle
Build healthier habits that support long-term healing and sustainable change for your whole body

Dr. Julie Hwang, Naturopathic Doctor, and Michelle Hsu, TCM-informed Business Consultant, will walk you through how stress, digestion, sleep, and everyday business and wellness habits connect to what shows up on your skin, and what that looks like through both an integrative medicine and a TCM lens.
