    Is your skin suddenly drier, duller, or more reactive — no matter what products you try? You’re not “aging badly.” You’re not imagining things.

We’ll also talk about gentle ways to support your microbiome using Arbonne’s Digestion & Microbiome Support sticks, Prebiotic Fiber, Green Synergy Elixir, Omnigut Daily, and Fast Melt Probiotics — tools I use and trust as a nurse and midlife wellness coach. By the end, you’ll understand why your gut might be the missing link in your skin journey — and what simple steps you can take today.
