Takeaways

Addressing the root cause of skin issues is crucial for true healing.

The gut plays a central role in overall health, including digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, andneurotransmitter regulation.

Testing, such as stool testing and neurotransmitter testing, can provide valuable insights into imbalances andsensitivities.

Common food sensitivities associated with eczema include dairy, gluten, eggs, peanuts, and soy.

Reducing inflammation through dietary changes can lead to significant improvements in eczema symptoms.Traditional lab testing often has wide reference ranges and may miss subtle health issues, while functional lab testing provides a more comprehensive view of the body's health.

Holistic and integrative approaches to healthcare focus on supporting the body's natural healing processes and using natural alternatives to medication.

Taking back control of our health and using natural remedies can empower us to live a vibrant and healthy life.
