Would you like to improve your skin treatments?
Do you work in healthcare and do you also like to help people with skin problems?
But you don't know how?
Your client is probably very satisfied with you as a doctor or therapist — you offer attention and a listening ear, you provide a pleasant treatment, and your client trusts you! But is your external therapy truly effective? And what are the results in the long term?
The external treatment fails!
Do you also find it frustrating to keep treating the same skin problems, knowing that your treatments only work temporarily and your client keeps coming back? Do you sometimes feel discouraged because you just can’t figure out why your skin treatment isn’t having the desired effect? Have you perhaps felt for some time that there might be ways to address skin problems ‘at the root,’ but you’re not sure how or where to start?
You recognise countless complaints but cannot link them together?
You may have already noticed that your clients often experience many other physical and/or mental issues in addition to their skin problems — such as digestive and intestinal disorders, fatigue, brain fog, depression, burnout, mental imbalance, and headaches. You might be wondering whether these issues could somehow be connected.
What if you could learn to recognize how different symptoms are interrelated and identify the common thread behind them? What if you could understand how complex the causes of skin problems can be — by learning how the skin functions and interacts with the intestines and our microbiome, and how it is influenced by nutrition and lifestyle?
Thanks to our Skin–Gut Books, based on extensive, scientifically supported knowledge, you as a doctor or therapist will learn to look at affected skin in a completely new way. As you read, you will gain fresh insights and discover many practical tips to truly help improve — and in many cases even heal — the skin from within.

Skin-gut practical example: seborrhoic eczema (76-year-old man)
When a 76-year-old man with gluten intolerance suddenly developed severe seborrheic eczema all over his body, the dermatologist told him it was a chronic condition he would simply have to live with.
After I conducted a thorough case history, I discovered that his intestines were also significantly disturbed. With intestinal therapy, he recovered within a month! This case is discussed in Chapter 1 of my second book (available in Dutch, English, and German). It explains how his stool pattern led me to the underlying cause, how I collaborated with his general practitioner, and what the outcome of the intestinal therapy was.

Every person is unique, and so are the causes of every skin problem. In my books on the skin–gut axis, I teach you how to look at the skin from a different perspective, ask different questions, and include bowel function and lifestyle in your search for underlying causes.
This approach enables you – with or without the cooperation of other doctors and therapists – to identify potential root causes and find effective solutions, as happened with this patient.
Be inspired by the new, scientifically grounded knowledge and the many real-life case studies described in the second Skin–Gut book (2023).

Skin-gut practical example: severe eczema (18-year-old woman)
An 18-year-old woman who had suffered from severe chronic eczema for many years asked her dermatologist whether her intestinal problems (frequent diarrhea) could be related to her skin condition. The dermatologist denied any connection. In the end, however, recovery was possible — thanks to intestinal therapy.
This case is described in Chapter 1 of my second book (available in Dutch, English, and German). It explains how she came to me, what I observed and thought, which therapies I applied, what worked immediately (and what didn’t yet), and what ultimately led to her recovery.
Would you like to learn what you can do when faced with a skin condition like this?
By learning and understanding how our skin and its microbiome interact with the intestines and the gut microbiome, you will begin to look at the skin in a completely new way — and discover alternative solutions: sometimes through a different skincare approach, a modified diet, or by avoiding a food allergen. Sometimes it involves eliminating an intestinal pathogen (parasite, yeast, etc.) and/or restoring the gut microbiome. And sometimes, you may uncover other (mental) stress factors that can be addressed.
The Skin–Gut Books available on this website will help you gain new insights. Let yourself be inspired!
We share knowledge, so your care can reach further than ever.
Why should you deepen your knowledge about the skin-gut connection?
The skin and the intestines are closely linked and constantly interact with each other. In science, this relationship is referred to as the gut–skin axis. An imbalance in gut health can manifest in numerous physical and mental symptoms, as well as in skin conditions such as acne, eczema, rosacea, and premature skin aging. For health professionals who work with clients suffering from skin problems, understanding this connection is essential. It allows them to address skin issues at their root cause and achieve long-lasting results.
Do you share our dream?
It is our dream to contribute worldwide to improving the health of people with skin conditions, by sharing our knowledge about the skin–gut axis and our microbiome with health professionals like you.
What you can learn from our books?
In our scientifically grounded books, you will discover how gut health, the microbiome, nutrition, and lifestyle can all influence the skin — and how to apply this knowledge in practice. You will finally truly understand the skin and, through a playful yet insightful “stool-reading course,” learn what bowel movements can reveal about skin health. Thanks to numerous real-life case studies, the complex theory is immediately brought to life in practical examples. You may even start recognizing similar patterns from your own clients’ case histories. As you read, you will expand your expertise and be able to offer your clients a holistic approach to restoring skin health — on the path to a healthy skin and a healthy gut.
Who is the author of the skin-gut books?
The books we offer are all written by Marcelline Goyen, BSc Skin Therapy, the Dutch pioneer in the field of the skin-gut axis, with over 20 years of practical experience in her own skin therapy practice in the Netherlands. Her books have made a significant contribution in the Netherlands and Belgium to raising awareness of the skin-gut axis and the role of our microbiome in health and disease. Or, as Marcelline prefers to say: "the role in balance versus imbalance!" Her motto is: "It's all about balance!"
