#210 Eczema 101 root causes, testing, kids, topicals and first steps with Christa Biegler, RD

Send us Fan MailYou may know that in my private practice I work with gut issues, skin issues, overcoming food sensitivities, and feeling tired and exhausted. Last week after guesting on 3 other podcasts all about eczema, I realized that I don’t think I’d ever done an eczema 101 episode for you, my favorite people, the listeners of the LSL. So today, I am welcoming my co-practitioner at the LSL Nutrition private practice Becky Santiago, who will interview me, and together we will discuss the presentation, testing, and soothing eczema, including answering questions asked by followers on social media.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Prevalence of eczema in general populationWhy is eczema on the riseTypes and triggers of eczemaStandard/generic toolbox given to people with eczemaThe emotional impact of skin conditions- come with compassionHealth triad- physical/structural, nutritional, emotional angleFood sensitivity/eczema connection- Is it a gut issueFood reactions or digestion problems?The connection between microbiome and eczemaCHRISTA SHARED HELPFUL TIPS ON:Healing from the inside outNutrients needed for eczema healingImpact of stress on eczemaCleaning up your diet to help your eczema- gluten, dairy, top 8 allergens"Don't let food create stress"Rebalancing microbiota and improving digestionIdentifying root causes Healing eczema in pediatrics- working with mom and babyTopical options to soothe on the outsideMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Eczema Relief Diet & Cookbook: Short-Term Meal Plans to Identify Triggers and Soothe Flare-Ups by Christa BieglerWHERE TO FIND CHRISTA:https://www.christabiegler.com/https://www.eczemanutritionist.com/On IG:instagram.com/anti.inflammatory.nutritionist/Shop our Favoriteschristabiegler.com/shopLoving the podcast?
