Episode 71 - The Gut-Skin Connection with Chiropractor and Functional Medicine Practitioner Dr Michelle Solomon

If you've ever felt frustrated by skin issues that don’t respond to products, the real answers might be hiding deeper in your gut, your hormones, and your stress levels.

In this episode, I’m joined by Functional Medicine Practitioner and Chiropractor Dr Michelle Solomon. We dive into the real root causes of skin issues. It’s not just about what you’re putting on your face. Specifically, we explore the powerful link between gut health and skin health. 

We talk about how inflammation, stress, and dysbiosis can all play a role in acne, dermatitis, dryness and more.

Dr Michelle shares practical tips for improving gut function, how your hormones and detox pathways impact your skin, and why functional testing like the GI Map can uncover hidden contributors to chronic skin issues. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn breakouts, dryness, or mystery flare ups, this conversation will help you shift from surface solutions to deeper answers.

 

Dr Michelle and I chat about: 

  • The gut-skin connection (and what it really means)
  • Root causes of acne, dermatitis, and dry skin
  • How to support your skin from the inside out
  • Functional medicine approaches to testing and treatment
  • The impact of stress on gut and skin health
  • Practical steps you can take today no matter your budget

 

Dr Michelle Solomon earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, following a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario. She has completed Functional Integrated Acupuncture training, which applies a biomedical approach to treating pain and sports injuries. She also has advanced training in upper and lower extremity Active Release Techniques (ART), Osteo-Articular Pumping of the Lower Limbs, and the Webster Technique for prenatal care.
