Main Points From Today’s Episode
- There are four stages of eczema: flare, outbreak, healing, and remission. Most of the time, people get stuck in between the first three stages because they don’t deal with the underlying triggers.
- Folks spend an average of $2,000 a year on skincare products in an effort to alleviate eczema symptoms. Many skin creams not only contain harmful chemicals, they’re also engineered to dry out your skin so you’ll apply more of the product.
- An unhealthy gut microbiome can disrupt the skin microbiome. It’s crucial to address food sensitivities and incorporate healing foods and supplements into your routine.
