The Healthy Skin Show 140: Do's + Don't's For Prebiotics (Especially If You Have Rashes) w/ Kelsey Kinney, MS, RD
Most of us know about why we need probiotics to help optimize our gut health. But have you ever heard of prebiotics? My guest is going to tell us all about them.
My guest today is Kelsey Kinney MS, RD, a registered dietitian in private practice specializing in digestive and hormonal health.
She completed her Bachelor's degree in Nutrition at New York University and holds a Master's degree from the University of Western States in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine.
Kelsey works with her clients to address all aspects of chronic digestive and hormonal disease, including balancing the microbiome, optimizing motility, regulating the HPA axis, enhancing the gut-brain axis and, of course, encouraging a healthy diet and lifestyle. In doing so, she brings her clients from daily discomfort to full, vibrant health.
Join us as we talk about all things prebiotics.

Quotes
“A prebiotic is essentially, really the easiest way to think about it is like food for your probiotics, food for good bacteria that's hanging out in your gut.” [2:58]
“Apples, for example, would be something that's got some prebiotics in there. But things like chicory root, blueberries, blackberries, garlic, leeks, onions, all of those kinds of foods have prebiotics in them.” [10:14]
