Mistake #3 Not explaining the inside-outside link
Consultation mini series part 3
I get it, you weren't trained to assess the gut-skin connection, let alone educate your clients on it!
But if you believe in the power of internal skin health AND want your clients to embrace changing their diet and lifestyle to elevate their skin results (+ health!) - then you need to start joining the dots for them right from the start....and I'm here to help you do that!
The mistake: Experty explaining topical changes and skimming over how internal health is showing up on the skin.
Why this matters:
-
Clients follow plans they understand (if diet or sleep changes feels abstract, it won’t happen - simple).
-
Clear inside-outside links build trust, adherence, and consistent outcomes.
-
You’re positioned as a therapist invested in true healing - not just products and treatments.
Some simple changes you can try this week in clinic:
-
Ask your client if they are experiencing any of the following symptoms: fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, poor sleep, PMS, breakouts, skin flares, brain fog.
-
Ask them if they had ever considered if those symptoms are connected to their skin?
-
Explain how blood sugar dysregulation can result in the symptoms they are describing as well as their *acne*rosacea*eczema*perioral dermaitis* insert relevent skin complaint.
-
Share simple tips on how they can balance their blood sugar levels with diet and lifestyle changes.
Not sure how to do that? Then keep your eyes peeled for tomorrows email where I will be teaching you exactly how PLUS my 3C's For Consultations That Change Skin
p.s. all skin protocols/treatment plans/interventions/supplements will fail if a clients blood sugar levels aren't regulated. It's THAT important.
p.p.s what I am going to be sharing tomorrow is where I start with ALL of my clients, cos even those with the best diet still have work to do in this area.
Back tomorrow!
