Taking care of your skin after a kidney transplant: A holistic approach

In this second episode of the 6 part series, we explore the skin - this semi-permeable interface between inner and outer worlds. Skin is nourished from the inside. Often dysbiosis (imbalance in the gut microbiota) can present on the skin. There is also usually an emotional root to skin issues, given the skin forms with the nervous system in embryology. In kidney transplantation, there may be various medications such as steroids (prednisolone mostly) and the calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus and cyclosporin) that require someone living with a kidney transplant to take care of skin health. This includes what we put on topically as well as the nutrients we put inside. We dive into this and more in episode 2. Any questions, feel free to contact me via the Wholly Aligned website:https://www.whollyaligned.com/Say Hi and what you found interesting!Find your Voice Intro and outro; Written and performed by Ciara Roberts - songs and strings
