Your gut health has powerful effects on both skin and joint health — and supporting the gut is a vital component of any effective longevity diet.
How gut health influences skin:
✅ Modulates inflammation that accelerates skin aging
✅ Supports collagen production and skin barrier function
✅ Reduces oxidative stress
✅ Promotes hydration and skin tone
How gut health influences joints:
✅ Regulates immune responses that impact joint inflammation
✅ Modulates gut permeability (“leaky gut”) → prevents systemic inflammation that affects joints
✅ Supports nutrient absorption → collagen, magnesium, vitamin C, omega-3s — all critical for joint repair
✅ Influences hormone metabolism → balanced hormones support both skin and joint health
How to support gut health through the longevity diet:
✅ Prioritize fiber-rich plant foods → nourish beneficial gut bacteria
✅ Include fermented foods (sauerkraut, kefir, kimchi, yogurt) → support microbial diversity
✅ Incorporate omega-3s → reduce gut and systemic inflammation
✅ Minimize refined sugars and processed foods → prevent dysbiosis
✅ Personalize gut-supportive strategies through naturopathic care
