Great post (and blog site!). Having struggled with skin issues 'all my life', a more gut-healthy lifestyle has made a massive difference for me, and also my twin! Adding probiotic foods such as kefir is one of my fave easy wins :-) - so much so I had to write about it! It is of course only part of the picture, and look forward to learning more about the gut health-longevity link
