Improving Skin Health: Acne, Rosacea with Dr William Davis Gut Wellness Yogurt

Advice from Dr William Davis on Improving Skin Health

"Eat Prebiotic-rich diet and fermented foods to balance gut bacteria and improve skin health.
1. The Role of Harmful Bacteria in GI Tract:
- Overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the GI tract can cause acne and rosacea.
- These bacteria release toxic by-products that trigger inflammation and diseases when transported outside the GI tract.

2. For Improving Gut Health and Skin Health:
- Incorporate more prebiotic-rich foods into your diet and reduce consumption of ultra-processed foods.
- Consuming fermented foods like "YoGut Balance" yogurt will balance gut bacteria and improve gut health."


An overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the GI tract can cause acne and a facial condition called rosacea. These invasive bacteria can release toxic by-products that trigger inflammation and diseases throughout the body when transported outside of the GI tract. Endotoxins are released when these bacteria die, and dissociated endotoxins can cross the gastro-intestinal barrier and enter the bloodstream.

To encourage healthier eating habits, it is recommended to incorporate more prebiotic-rich foods into your diet and reduce consumption of ultra-processed foods that are high in added sugar, unhealthy fats, and low in dietary fiber.

Consuming fermented foods, such as gut wellness yogurt, can also help balance the gut bacteria. "YoGut Balance" yogurt is a specific fermented yogurt that combines three bacterial strains known for their ability to combat excessive bacteria and produce bacteriocins. Consuming this yogurt for four weeks can lead to significant improvements in gut health.

Transitioning from an overload of invasive bacteria to a well-balanced microbiome should be done gently, as the invasive bacteria may crave the foods that we're recommending you to avoid. It's important to be patient and make gradual changes. During this process, there is a possibility of endotoxemia occurring as your gut eliminates the invasive bacteria. We have a simple program that can help you through this challenging period, allowing you to repopulate your gut microbiome with healthy bacteria and switch to a nutritious diet that makes you feel great.

For individuals with acne and rosacea, dietary recommendations to improve skin health include following a healthy lifestyle diet that includes fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, lean meat, and plenty of water. Increasing intake of prebiotic fibers found in foods like onions, bananas, wheat, and garlic can nurture beneficial gut bacteria. It's important to choose foods that promote skin health, such as walnuts, berries, tomatoes, lemons, and dark green leafy vegetables, even if digestion of these is currently a struggle.

Avoiding ultra-processed foods and reading ingredient labels for simple, unprocessed contents can help prevent flare-ups in rosacea patients. Additionally, adequate sleep, stress management, and avoiding excess alcohol and smoke pollution are important factors to consider for overall skin health.
