137: Before Starting Dupixent (Or Other Biologic Medications)...

If you’ve considered starting Dupixent or some other type of biologic medication for your rashes, here’s something to consider. Problems (that aren’t significant enough to be major issues yet) can be lurking under the surface and go unnoticed. If a biologic medication works, symptoms should go away. That’s a great thing for your confidence, peace of mind, and daily level of comfort. But it can cause you to miss clues (aka. symptoms) that need attention sooner rather than later. In today’s episode, I’m sharing why symptoms are like your car’s “check engine” light AND how this all played out for a client in real life. My client wanted to share her experience to inspire you to “take a look under the hood” to make sure there’s nothing else going on that does need some TLC. Because once you start a biologic (and it works), you lose out on using your symptoms as a guide towards better health.
