Gut Health and Skin: The Inside-Out Secret to Radiant Skin


Discover the inside-out secret to radiant skin: how gut health and the microbiome shape your glow—with practical steps you can start today. When your gut health and skin are in conversation, the glow you see on your face often reflects the health of your microbiome. This page explores how gut health and skin are linked, and it offers approachable, real-world steps you can begin now to support clearer skin from the inside out—starting with the foods you eat, how you digest them, and the microbial signals your body uses to keep your complexion radiant. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers gut microbiome testing products for brands and consumers alike. The platform features a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0-100) based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, giving a clear, comparable measure of overall gut health. You’ll also see Bacteria abundances for a top 40 panel—showing how you stack up against a healthy cohort—and Bacteria functions that are categorized as positive or negative, so you can understand how microbial pathways relate to skin health. With Target Group analysis, you can dive into areas like Skin & Hair Health and see how your microbiome aligns with the pathways most relevant to complexion. For individuals, personalized nutrition advice uses data from 3-day food diaries and stool samples to tailor recommendations to your unique gut microbiome, strengthening the link between gut health and skin. Start today with practical steps that bridge gut health and skin. Increase diversity of plant fiber to nourish beneficial microbes, include fermented foods, stay hydrated, and prioritize sleep to support gut barrier function—all of which can influence your skin’s radiance. Our personalized nutrition advice helps translate this science into concrete choices that positively shift microbial functions related to inflammation, barrier repair, and nutrient synthesis—benefits you may notice as improved skin clarity and glow.
