In today’s episode, I’m sharing what you need to know to get rid of Keratosis Pilaris naturally! In this episode: Why Keratosis Pilaris is not a skin issue The importance of Vitamin A for your skin and other body systems What’s the best test? Keratosis Pilaris diet recommendations Supplements for Keratosis Pilaris Quotes: If you have struggled with Keratosis Pilaris, know this — you don't have a skin problem. You have a gut problem. KP is a symptom of something else directing you to investigate. And that something else happens to be low or deficient Vitamin A status. To up your Vitamin A game in your diet, the easiest and most obvious answer is to add sources that contain it! These foods include liver and cod liver oil, both of which give you way more than your daily value of active vitamin A. You can also choose from other food options that offer a much lower amount but could still be really helpful such as king mackerel, salmon, Bluefin tuna, goat cheese, and butter. Beta-carotene is not the same as active Vitamin A and requires work on your body’s part to make that conversion happen. Not everyone can easily make this conversion.Ready to figure out your skin’s root causes so you can finally fix your skin + break free from meds + flare ups?My virtual clinic works with adults worldwide struggling with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, urticaria, hives, dandruff, perioral dermatitis + more.Trusted by 1000+ clients, we get results WITHOUT restrictive elimination diets.Schedule an assessment call at skinrepaircall.com
