Dr. Vincent Pedre: Leaky Gut, Wrinkles & Inflammation — The Hidden Connection

What if the real reason your skin is aging faster has nothing to do with your skincare, and everything to do with your gut? In this episode, Dr. Vincent Pedre, gut health expert joins us to uncover how leaky gut, dysbiosis, and hidden food sensitivities can trigger acne, eczema, redness, and premature wrinkles. We explain how gut inflammation accelerates collagen breakdown, fuels glycation, and weakens the skin barrier, and why restoring your microbiome can be more powerful than any topical cream. You’ll discover the surprising role of pomegranate polyphenols, how certain “healthy” foods can sabotage your skin, and Dr. Pedre’s most effective tools for repairing the gut. Plus, he shares the daily habits that keep your microbiome, and your complexion, healthy, resilient, and glowing from the inside out.
