The Functional Skin Reset
Skincare is an inside job
At Taylor Paige Integrative Skincare, we believe the skin and body are deeply interconnected. Most of the visible skin concerns — like dryness, acne/congestion, discoloration, rashes — often stem from an internal imbalance. Digestive stress, inflammation, sluggish detoxification, and microbiome disruption can all contribute to compromised skin function.
Topical products play an important role, but true transformation begins by addressing these deeper root causes from within. When your body is nourished and in balance, your skin reflects that vitality.
The Functional Skin Reset was created to help you target your internal imbalances and empower the body’s natural healing processes tosupport a clear, radiant complexion from the inside out.
Your internal biomarkers are more important than your skincare routine. All it takes is proper testing.
Don't guess, test
Knowledge Is Power : Understanding how to gather and analyze data is one of the most important factors in achieving optimal wellness. Functional lab analysis allows us to identify each person’s unique biochemical, nutrient, gut and hormonal imbalances, and therefore restore balance and achieve sustainable health.
Humans Were Designed To Heal : Given the right support and healthy environmental conditions, the human body is capable of healing from just about anything. When we work with the body instead of against it, we can restore balance and harmony.
No “One-Size-Fits-All” Approach To Health : What helps one person recover & heal may aggravate symptoms in another. While the FDN methodology works for everyone, the protocols that result from this methodology are highly personalized and unique to each individual.

The Functional Skin Reset Includes 4 Comprehensive Tests
The DUTCH
(Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)
DUTCH is a groundbreaking methodology that sets a new standard in hormone metabolite testing, surpassing traditional saliva and blood tests. Used by thousands of healthcare professionals, the DUTCH test has become the gold standard.
gi-map
(Gastro Intestinal Microbial Assay Plus)
The GI-MAP test is a comprehensive stool analysis that uses DNA-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology to assess the microbial composition of the gastrointestinal tract and imbalances in the gut microbiome.
HTMA Test
(hair tissue mineral analysis)
A hair tissue mineral analysis is a non-invasive test that measures the levels of minerals and heavy metals present in a person's body to help identify nutrient deficiencies & toxic metal excesses.
functional blood test
Bloodwork helps to bridge the gap between gut, hormone, and metabolic function. It identifies hidden systemic imbalances that directly affect skin health. Because blood markers change within just weeks to months, they're particularly useful for monitoring progress.
Because a blood test simply isn't enough
While a blood test can provide a snapshot of certain health markers, they rarely tell the whole story. If a blood test result is outside the ‘normal’ range, further
tests are needed to confirm the abnormality and determine its significance.
Combining a blood panel with other forms of diagnostic testing allows healthcare providers to make informed decisions and create better protocols.
DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)
DUTCH is a groundbreaking methodology that sets a
new standard in hormone metabolite testing,
surpassing traditional saliva and blood tests. Used by
thousands of healthcare professionals, the DUTCH test
has become the gold standard.
Traditional vs. DUTCH Testing
While traditional hormone diagnostics via blood provide limited information
about hormonal status, the DUTCH test provides a comprehensive picture of
hormone levels by capturing multiple urine samples over a 24-hr period.
Every Sample Has A Story
Each urine sample in the DUTCH test tells a part of your hormone story
throughout the day. Together, they reveal how your hormones rise and fall,
giving a clearer, fuller picture than a single test.
GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus)
The GI-MAP test is a comprehensive stool analysis that
utilizes DNA-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology to
assess the microbial composition of the gastrointestinal
tract and identify imbalances in the gut microbiome.
What the GI-MAP Test Reveals
The GI-MAP test analyzes a stool sample to identify and quantify various
microorganisms, including pathogens, opportunistic organisms, normal
flora, and markers of GI health.
Why Gut Health Affects Your Skin
Intestinal Permeability (aka ‘leaky gut’) is a driver for systemic and local skin
inflammation. Barrier disruption in one area of the body leads to barrier
disruption in another, enforcing the concept that ‘leaky gut’ leads to ‘leaky skin’
and ‘skin inflammation’. By pinpointing imbalances in the gut microbiome, we
can identify the root cause of many inflammatory skin conditions.
HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis)
A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive test that measures the levels of minerals and heavy metals present in a person's body to help identify nutrient deficiencies and toxic metal excesses.
What the HTMA Reveals
While blood tests show the recent and current body status (like a snapshot
in time), the hair acts like a storage space for minerals, revealing how
minerals are being utilized in the body.
What a HTMA Can Reveal
An HTMA can identify imbalances in essential minerals like sodium, potassium,
copper, and magnesium, as well as levels of toxic heavy metals like lead,
mercury, aluminum, and arsenic. It offers insights into your metabolism, stress
response, digestive health, thyroid and adrenal function, inflammation, and
immune health.
FUNCTIONAL BLOOD CHEMISTRY
Bloodwork helps to bridge the gap between gut, hormone, and metabolic function. It identifies hidden systemic imbalances that directly affect skin health.
Because blood markers change within just weeks to months, they’re particularly useful for monitoring progress.
Gut-Hormone-Metabolism Link
Functional blood chemistry uncovers subtle imbalances that link your
digestive health, hormone levels, and metabolism. These connections often
influence inflammation and nutrient absorption, which directly affect the
condition and appearance of your skin.
Tracking Progress Over Time
Blood markers respond quickly to changes in diet, stress, and treatment, making
blood tests a valuable tool to measure improvements. Regular testing helps adjust
your health plan for better results and ensures you’re on the right path.
Frequently asked questions
No, supplements are purchased separately.
You will not be asked to discontinue anything recommended or prescribed by your doctor. Instead, we aim to complement your existing care with a supportive, root-cause approach.
Because this program relies on specialized, functional labs with specific biomarkers, you’ll be required to complete a new set of lab work.
This program does not require elimination diets. Instead of fearing food, our goal is to help you reintroduce foods and discover why the body is experiencing sensitivities in the first place.
The short answer is... no. You don’t have to give up everything you love to be successful in this program. However, you should expect to make dietary and lifestyle modifications. You’ll be given the tools and support to make it manageable for your life.
