If you or your child suffer from eczema, you’re not alone— up to 1 in 5 children and 1-3% of adults are in the same boat! In today’s episode, Christa Biegler and Samantha dive into the imbalances that are often the source of the uncomfortable symptoms of eczema. Christa is the host of the Less Stressed Life Podcast, author of The Eczema Relief Diet & Cookbook (April 20), and the founder of the Eczema Nutritionist, specializing in difficult skin and digestive issues. She lives with her unicycling husband & kids in the Midwest.
Tune in to discover lifestyle changes, documentation tricks, and essential oils that can be helpful in supporting your body’s systems when searching for eczema relief. Remember that the skin is usually the last organ to respond to a treatment that is working—so focus on overall well-being and give a new regimen some time when searching for what works!
