Main Points From Today\u2019s Episode

1. 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\u2019t deal with the underlying triggers.
2. 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\u2019re also engineered to dry out your skin so you\u2019ll apply more of the product.
3. An unhealthy gut microbiome can disrupt the skin microbiome. It\u2019s crucial to address food sensitivities and incorporate healing foods and supplements into your routine.
