Whole Body Health

Your skin microbiome is just as important as your gut microbiome for whole body health.

A repressed skin microbiome can have an adverse effect on the gut microbiome and visa versa.

A damaged Skin Microbiome may be a leading cause of food allergies

Your Skin & Gut Microbiome work together

The skin and the gut microbiome do not act in isolation, but interact with each other to maintain our body’s defences. For instance, a repressed skin microbiome can have an adverse effect on the gut microbiome and visa versa.

Often, therefore, repairing one of these microbiomes alone is not enough, and stubborn chronic diseases will remain even if action is taken to increase the biodiversity of one of these.

Increase the diversity of both Skin and Gut

Our own research has shown that biodiversity is the only way of measuring health, so we would recommend, therefore, that everyone takes a two pronged attack to increase the biodiversity of his or her whole microbiome:

1) Skin Microbiome: firstly, use a Third Wave skin microbiome enhancing product such as JooMo.

2) Gut Microbiome: consume a diet that increases the biodiversity of the gut microbiome.

"New studies have shown that a damaged skin microbiome can actually lead to food allergies and internal problems. Make sure your Skin Microbiome is diverse AS WELL as your Gut Microbiome!"

How to increase the biodiversity of my skin

Your skin microbiome is the first line of defence as it is constantly exposed to substances and chemicals that you come in contact with.

To increase your skin microbiome diversity, these steps are best to follow:

  1. Stop using everyday cosmetics that contain chemicals and soaps that can damage the skin microbiome.
  2. Only use 100% Natural products that are proven to enhance the skin microbiome.

How to increase the biodiversity of my gut

Your gut microbiome is different to the skin microbiome in the fact that it is an enclosed system. It is more protected in that way.

To increase your gut microbiome diversity, start with these two steps:

  1. Eat a large variety of vegetables, fruits, legumes, pulses, nuts and seeds and importantly, fibre. This will diversify the bacteria in your microbiome.
  2. Instead of “probiotics”, try to eat a variety of fermented foods.

"It is VITAL that you increase the diversity of your Skin Microbiome AS WELL as your Gut Microbiome!"
