060: Stress Response-Skin Rash Connection w/ Dr. Jerry Bailey

Finding the root cause of a chronic skin condition is hard work, especially since many conventional doctors simply prescribe steroids instead of digging deeper. My guest today will talk more about the possible root causes associated with skin rashes. My guest today is Dr. Jerry Bailey. Dr. Jerry is a guy's guy; a Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, Functional Medicine Doctor, and dad to two boys.   He practices functional medicine along with being host of the insanely fun and popular show, The Guy Show, where he interviews the experts offering their best tips, tricks and tutelage in health, wealth and mindset for guys. Dr. Jerry's irreverent look at life, health and mindset allows guys to talk about the things that matter most to them while keeping it real yet approachable allowing men a humorous but serious talk on the topics that affect men in the midlife. Join us as we talk about how antigen antibodies, hormones, and stress play a role in skin health. Has stress reduction helped you manage your skin condition? Tell me about it in the comments!   In this episode: What is often overlooked in conventional medicine when it comes to dermatological issues? What is an antigen antibody? How do you know if you have an immune complex? Is there any connection between where rashes present and different organ systems? What does Dr. Jerry look at after the gut? What does he look at in men specifically? Can hormones affect conditions like eczema, dandruff, and psoriasis? What role does stress play in skin conditions? How does sun exposure help? Quotes "When we see that antigen antibody immune complex combination start depositing in the skin and then show eruption within the skin (through eczema or dermatitis of some sort or any of the other conditions there), we can actually then know something's going on internally and we know to how to address it." [4:59] "Within Chinese medicine and functional medicine, too, it's always that deep dive into why and where things are coming from. And most of the time it's GI related: gastrointestinal related." [6:10] "When that cortisol and that fight or flight response becomes overactive, the body adapts incorrectly and we get a maladaptive stress syndrome." [15:22] "We can't out-supplement nor out-drug a bad environment."
