In this episode, we shift our perspective on skin health, exploring the deeper connections between chronic skin conditions and the body's overall wellbeing. Our guest shares insights from her extensive experience in both dermatology and functional medicine, showing us how factors like stress, gut health, hormones, and daily habits influence our skin in profound ways.
Instead of simply managing symptoms, we look at how understanding our body's messages can guide us toward lasting improvements in our skin and overall health. By paying closer attention to these connections, we learn to support healing from the inside out.
