In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler, explores the powerful connection between gut health and skin health — specifically how a compromised gut lining can trigger chronic inflammation that surfaces as acne, eczema, rosacea, and more.
Robyn breaks down the science behind “leaky gut” (also known as intestinal permeability) and explains how everyday factors like stress, poor nutrient absorption, and microbial imbalances can quietly fuel skin flare-ups. She also shares The Clear Skin Lab’s structured, evidence-based approach to repairing the gut, restoring the skin barrier, and calming inflammation from within — without resorting to restrictive diets or guesswork.
Whether you’re navigating stubborn acne, managing eczema, or simply curious about the gut-skin connection, this episode offers clear guidance, real clinical insights, and a refreshing take on what true root-cause healing looks like.
