Skin Health Assessment for Functional Medicine Practitioners
A structured, evidence-informed screening tool that evaluates skin conditions through the lens of functional medicine. Helps practitioners identify connections between skin health, gut barrier function, hormonal cycles, food triggers, and environmental exposures — in about 3 minutes, before the first appointment. Patients receive an instant, personalized health archetype report upon completion.
What This Assessment Covers
Skin Condition Mapping
Evaluates acne distribution (jawline vs. forehead vs. cheeks), eczema patterns, rosacea triggers, and psoriasis presentations. Maps location and timing to underlying functional drivers.
Gut-Skin Axis Assessment
Correlates skin symptoms with digestive patterns — bloating, bowel irregularity, food sensitivities, and antibiotic history — to identify gut-driven skin presentations that won't resolve with topicals alone.
Hormonal & Environmental Triggers
Captures cycle-related acne flares, stress-induced breakouts, product and environmental exposures, and dietary patterns that practitioners can use to design root-cause treatment plans.
Pre-Appointment Screening
Send the assessment link in booking confirmations or reminder emails. Patients complete it before they arrive, so you walk into the appointment with a structured skin health profile — not a list of failed creams.
Instant AI-Generated Report
Patients receive a personalized health archetype report immediately after completing the assessment. The report explains their results in plain language, builds trust, and primes them for your consultation.
Sample Questions
Each question is designed to be patient-friendly while gathering clinically useful data. Here are three examples from the skin health assessment:
Where do you experience skin issues most often?
- · Jawline and chin — especially around my cycle
- · Forehead and T-zone — mostly congestion and texture
- · Cheeks — redness, irritation, or breakouts
- · Body — chest, back, or arms
- · Diffuse — all over or unpredictable
Do your skin issues flare with certain foods?
Yes — dairy is a clear trigger · Yes — sugar or processed foods · Yes — gluten · I'm not sure / haven't tracked it · No — food doesn't seem to affect it
Do you notice a connection between your skin and digestion?
Yes — when my digestion is off, my skin breaks out · Sometimes — I see a loose connection · Not that I've noticed · I've never thought about it
How It Works
Each skin health assessment follows a structured three-step flow that connects dermatological complaints to systemic functional drivers. It is designed to capture gut, hormone, and environmental data for skin archetype mapping without overwhelming the patient.
Patient Completes
The patient answers 8–12 questions about their skin concerns, digestive health, hormonal patterns, and environmental exposures. Takes about 3 minutes on any device.
Archetype Is Generated
The assessment maps responses to three evidence-informed skin archetypes: Gut-Driven Skin, Hormonal Skin Pattern, or Environmental/Contact-Driven Skin.
Practitioner Reviews
Results are available in your Brevlix dashboard before the appointment. Use them to prioritize interventions (gut repair, hormone balance, elimination diet) and structure the treatment plan.
Clinical Use Cases
From dermatology-integrative practices to general functional medicine clinics, practitioners use structured skin health screening in several key clinical workflows.
New Patient Intake
Send the assessment link alongside intake paperwork. By the time the patient arrives, you have a structured skin profile with diet, hormone, and trigger data mapped — the first appointment starts with root cause hypotheses, not a review of failed topicals.
Pre-Consultation Screening
For discovery calls or initial consultations, the assessment acts as a filter. Patients who complete it are pre-qualified and pre-educated about functional medicine approaches to skin health, making the consultation more productive.
Treatment Progress Tracking
Re-administer the assessment at 4- or 8-week intervals. Track shifts in skin severity, trigger patterns, and archetype changes over time — quantifiable data for patient progress reports and treatment plan adjustments.
Group Program Enrollment
Use the assessment as an enrollment gateway for clear skin group programs. Stratify participants by archetype — Gut-Driven types need different protocols than Hormonal Skin types.
Patient Intake Workflow
Adding skin health screening to your intake flow is straightforward. Most practices have the assessment running in a single afternoon — here is the typical setup sequence:
Generate Your Assessment Link
From your Brevlix dashboard, choose the skin health assessment and customize your branding, booking link, and widget appearance. Copy the unique assessment link or embed code — no coding or developer help required.
Add to Booking Flow
Paste the link into your booking confirmation email, intake form, or appointment reminder. Most EHRs and scheduling platforms (Acuity, Calendly, Practice Better) support adding custom links to automated emails.
Embed on Your Website
Copy the Brevlix embed script and paste it onto any page — your homepage, a dedicated "Work With Me" page, or a services listing. The assessment renders as an interactive widget that matches your branding.
Review Before the Appointment
Completed assessments appear in your Brevlix dashboard. Review the skin profile, archetype result, and root cause directions before the patient arrives. Walk into every appointment with a data-informed clinical picture.
How practices use this today: Functional medicine practitioners send the skin health assessment link in Calendly confirmation emails, embed it on Squarespace intake pages, and include it in Practice Better onboarding sequences. Patients complete it at home, on their phone, before the appointment — so the first visit is about solutions, not history-taking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the assessment questions?
The assessment questions are maintained by Brevlix and updated based on functional medicine research and practitioner feedback. You can choose from 12 pre-built health topics and customize your branding, booking link, and widget appearance to match your practice.
What does the patient see after completing the assessment?
Patients receive an instant, personalized health archetype report based on their responses. The report explains their results in accessible language, highlights relevant health patterns, and includes a clear next step — typically booking a consultation with your practice.
Can I embed this assessment on my website?
Yes. Brevlix provides an embed script — copy and paste onto any page. Works with Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, and custom sites. Practitioners often embed it on their clear skin program page or send it before initial skin consultations.
Can skin issues really be linked to gut health and hormones?
Yes. The gut-skin axis and hormone-skin connections are well-documented in functional medicine. Conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea often have gut permeability, microbiome imbalance, or hormonal drivers that topical treatments alone can't address.
How is this different from a dermatology intake form?
Dermatology forms focus on lesion type, location, and treatment history. This assessment connects skin to systemic factors — digestion, hormones, diet, and environment — providing a functional medicine framework rather than a topical-only approach.
