Why Skin Symptoms Aren’t Just Skin Issues

Many chronic skin concerns—like acne, eczema, or rosacea—are signs of internal imbalances. While topical creams may provide temporary relief, they often don’t address the root causes. Functional lab testing offers a deeper look into what’s happening beneath the surface.

What Could Be Driving Your Skin Issues?

Functional medicine focuses on systems, not symptoms. Skin problems may be connected to:

1. Gut Health Imbalances

• Leaky gut / intestinal permeability

• Dysbiosis (microbial imbalance)

• Candida or parasites

• Food sensitivities (IgG/IgA reactions)

2. Hormonal Dysregulation

• High androgens (testosterone, DHEA)

• Estrogen dominance or low progesterone

• Cortisol imbalances (stress response)

3. Chronic Inflammation

• Elevated inflammatory markers

• Histamine intolerance

• Poor detoxification or liver congestion

🧪 What Functional Lab Tests Can Help?

Here are some of the most commonly used tests to explore skin-related root causes:

GI Zoomer + Wheat Zoomer by Vibrant Wellness / Stool Analysis: Testing a wide variety of gut bacteria, pathogens, inflammation markers, gut-skin axis, leaky gut, microbial triggers

Hormone Zoomer by Vibrant Wellness: Hormone Zoomer is a comprehensive urine test that measures adrenal and sex hormones with their metabolites, four-point melatonin, and toxins that interfere with hormone receptors. It also evaluates how hormones impact bone health and equips your provider to determine if you may benefit from hormone replacement therapy (HRT), targeted detox strategies, and a personalized treatment plan to address fatigue, low libido, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menopause-related symptoms, and more.
