Beauty Begins in the Belly
Beauty begins in the belly — at least, according to the gospel of Carla Oates, founder of The Beauty Chef. “Did you know that people who have acne and rosacea are 10 times more likely to have gut issues? And that 34 percent of people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome show skin manifestations?” Oates posited to the audience. “Inflammation in the gut is associated with premature aging in the body.” Oates, an Australia native and former beauty editor, realized the impact food can have on skin and well-being at young age. She suffered from allergies and eczema as a child, and a naturopath eliminated processed foods, gluten and dairy from her diet early on. When her daughter displayed symptoms of allergies and eczema, Oates found research that linked gut health to eczema and allergies. “I decided to put my family on a gut-healing protocol — eliminating certain foods from our diet, and introducing gut loving probiotic rich, kefir kimchi and sauerkraut. As I experimented more and more with these foods, I knew I was on to something.” Oates’ daughter’s allergies improved, and she started getting compliments on her glowing skin. “I started becoming the local pusher and supplier of lacto-fermented foods,” said Oates.
