Sasha Chasco, LE, IFNCP
About Me
I am an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner (IFNCP) and a licensed Esthetician with over a decade of experience. A few years ago, I faced debilitating health challenges that led me to explore healing through diet, herbs, supplements, and lifestyle changes. This transformative experience inspired me to incorporate a root-cause approach into my practice, focusing on truly addressing underlying imbalances rather than relying on one-size-fits-all protocols.
My Approach
I believe lasting skin health comes from a balanced approach that combines topical skincare with internal healing. I approach skin care and skin concerns from a holistic standpoint – treating the skin as the complex and interconnected organ that it is. Studies have shown that skin conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea are deeply connected to gut health, inflammation, and overall systemic imbalance. While many methods simply mask symptoms and aren’t sustainable, I focus on uncovering the root causes of your skin concerns. I do this by addressing internal imbalances and restoring skin health with a barrier-supportive, hydrating, and inflammation-conscious approach. After all, the majority of skincare products on the market contain comedogenic and inflammatory ingredients, despite labels stating otherwise.
In my 100% virtual practice, I start with a comprehensive consultation. For clients interested in exploring internal factors, I offer functional internal testing to assess gut health, nutrient status, metabolic function and hormones. I create personalized plans that blend topical skincare with tailored nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted supplementation when necessary. I take a lot of what I’ve learned from my mentors—who are experts in both skincare and functional health—and integrate that knowledge into my approach, ensuring my clients receive well-rounded, science-backed care. This dedicated approach to managing acne and other skin conditions provides sustainable, long-term results—far beyond what harsh topicals can achieve.
