Face Reading with Before & After Photos
Identify Leaky Gut with Face Reading
DIY Diagnosis
You can detect leaky gut (intestinal hyper-permeability) by looking in the mirror. Over centuries, Chinese medicine developed a sophisticated system of correspondences between outward signs and the internal organs; such as, for example, that the lower lip region reflects colon health. So take a look. If your lower lip is toned, uniformly colored and if its border is precise with adjacent skin that is normal in color and texture, as in photos #1 and #2, your gut health is good.
1. Stock photo showing a defined border between the bottom lip and skin, and normal skin and lips that are free of color, size and texture irregularities.
My bottom lip also has a clear-cut border with normal-colored and normal-textured skin. What about the wrinkles radiating out from my lips? They are normal after menopause. I fondly consider them an announcement, as it were, of retirement.
As seen in the photos below, a lower lip border zone that is rough, fuzzy, discolored, swollen or that has an extra ledge suggests leaky gut. Leaky gut occurs when the junctions between the cell walls of the intestinal wall lose their tone. This means toxins, microbes and undigested food particles pass directly into the bloodstream, which causes inflammation throughout the body. Leaky gut is implicated in a variety of illnesses and underlies autoimmune disease.
A look at the mouth region in photos, art and sculpture prior to our modern diet reveals that the historical norm for lips was precise borders with normal surrounding skin. Before the 1950s, lips were typically uniform in size and color (as we also see in photos #1 and 2). For comparison purposes, look at present-day photos and people around you. The disparity is dramatic.
Leaky gut is a recent condition exacerbated by environmental toxins, stress and our modern diet. For this reason, we don’t find references to intestinal permeability in traditional Chinese medicine. But here’s what I observe in my clients who have lower lip irregularities: if they amend their diet and lifestyle, their leaky gut symptoms resolve and their lips regain what had been their personal norm. See examples showing client’s Before and After photos. Also see Swollen Lips and Discolored Skin Around the Lips.
Does your lower lip border have irregularities? If so, these are some of the symptoms of leaky gut that you might be experiencing:
• Food sensitivities
• Bowel disease
• Autoimmune disease
• Fatigue
• Malabsorption
• Weight problems
• Inflammatory skin conditions
• Mood issues and/or autism
• Asthma
As you adjust your diet and lifestyle, track the results in the mirror and you’ll see a direct correlation with improved symptoms and your lower lip zone. You’ll observe how Face Reading can be a fascinating and eminently practical tool.
If you would like help in this connecting the dots, consider a Face Reading Report. I will ask you for a photo and use it to point out how your personal facial indicators correspond with your internal organs. Then I’ll set you up with diet and lifestyle steps to resolve your specific health issues.
I would like to do a face reading. What cost am I looking at
You’ll find several different Face Reading packages available on my page under “store”. I anticipate working with you.
Hi Rebecca, i have just stumbled upon your site. Very interesting, and it gives me hope.
I am wondering what i should first try cutting out of my diet?
My lips are similar to the last two photos on this post.
I have always had dark circles under my eyes, so does my sister and my mum.
I have been constantly bloated for 5 years.
I am vegan, and have been for 3 years.
I dont eat gluten.
I dont eat onion or garlic.
I dont eat a lot of grains, and wasnt eating them at all for a good month or so but noticed no changes.
Should i try cutting out the nightshade family?
Or soy?
Or beans? Beans will be hard to cut out for me though. They are my main source of protein. Along with soy.
Thank you very much. Im desperate…

Dear Laura,
That you’ve been bloated for 5 years is a red flag that your diet needs adjusting. Thanks for understanding that it would be unethical to give personalized diet advice as I simply do not have adequate details. It would be my pleasure to work with you in a consultation. Or consider seeing my presentation, Color Me Healthy for direction. Good luck!
Is it possible to heal a leaky gut while on a vegan diet?
I trust it can be done but I’m yet to see it happen. How ironic–and unfortunate–that our historical staples (grains, beans and seeds) exacerbate a leaky gut. I wish you every success and do let us know your results.
So what diet do you follow to fix a leaky gut?
The first step is to identify the foods that, in your case, underlie leaky gut. Then remove them from your diet. Also some adjustments to your life style may be required.
I would like to know how long it would take to correct the leaky gut condition
Eliminate what’s hurting your gut, and then it can start to mend. Our bodies are hardwired to heal. There are specific diet and lifestyle adjustments that expedite healing.
