A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube episode by Robert Whitfield MD discussing the connection between gut/oral health and skin conditions. In this exchange Whitfield affirms that oral and gut issues can manifest in skin problems and references biologic dentist Kelly Blodgett as an expert corroborating the ‘inside-out’ relationship.
Like, I've. I don't know if this is true, but I've heard that basically you're the inside out of your scum. Your stomach is essentially your face. Is that an accurate sort of, like, indication for someone that has anything wrong with their skin, that they could look to their gut health to be the first stop?
Kelly Blodgett is a biologic dentist, and I had him on my show and we talked about this, and it's very true. Like, someone who has problems orally is a real tell to everything else going on.
