Clinical Frameworks, Stool Analysis, and Practical Protocols

About the Textbook

This evidence-based textbook on the skin–gut axis is an essential resource for dermatologists, dermal therapists, nutritionists, and integrated healthcare professionals. Taking the practitioner on a detailed microscopic analysis through the cutaneous barrier and intestinal mucosa, it highlights the profound immunological role of the human microbiome in both homeostasis and chronic inflammatory disease states.

Written in an accessible yet highly clinical style, this volume bridges academic theory with daily practice. It features structured diagnostic guidelines, practical stools marker interpretations, and interdisciplinary therapeutic protocols that demonstrate how to systematically target the root causes of complex dermatological conditions.

Bibliographical Note: This textbook is the official English edition and clinical update of the widely acclaimed European publication 'De wonderlijke samenwerking tussen huid & darm' (2023).
