How I healed my eczema (naturally) as a Holistic Health Coach

Hey, hey, hey!

I can’t believe I am FINALLY sharing this with you! It’s a journey and experience that I’ve been wanting to share for so long, but I guess I wanted to share it the perfect way until I realized there is no perfect way to share this and I should just go ahead and f*cking share it already 😂

So, I’m spilling all the beans podcast-style because there’s just so much to tackle and I’m all about the simplest, most efficient way nowadays (aka I’m a mom and that’s just how it be).

I’ll be taking you through my experience with eczema, how I personally healed it as a Holistic Health Coach, and I will end with specific tips for you if you’re currently dealing with this (super annoying, and VERY itchy) skin condition.

Get excited and have a listen below! 🤗

P.S. I’ve also added some raw photos of my skin throughout my journey so you reallyyy get a feel for my experience (beware — they’re kind of gross).

LISTEN to it all HERE!

MY TIPS FOR YOU (Outlined)

• Identify triggers & eliminate/avoid them

  • Things you’re allergic to

  • Foods or drinks that cause flareups

  • Environmental factors that cause flareups 

  • Consider getting tested for anything you may not know triggers flareups (including food sensitivities)

  • Consider an elimination diet to identify food sensitivities or allergies

• Lab testing 

  • Find a functional medicine practitioner, a naturopathic doctor, or a holistic specialist who can order labs for you 

  • Schedule a consult, see what they say, and if they’re on board to get you tested 

  • Review your results & formulate a plan to heal based on those results 

    • May involve a special diet

    • May involve supplementation if you’re low in some areas

    • May involve adding digestive support 

• Regardless, there is plenty you can work on (in the meantime) before you figure all that out because there are obvious things we all know we can do for our health, but maybe we’re too stubborn to change: 

  • Less caffeine 

  • Less alcohol

  • Eliminating refined carbs & refined sugar (cookies, cakes, ice cream, chips, packaged snacks, Starbucks drinks, etc.) 

  • Additional digestion & gut support:

    • Grass-fed Bone broth daily

    • Apple cider vinegar before meals

    • Deep breaths before eating

    • Chewing your food A LOT before swallowing

    • Eating slower

  • Managing your stress

    • tone down the workouts (less cardio, less HIIT), meditation, breathwork, slower mornings, eating enough (no skipping meals), adrenal cocktails, doing more of what relaxes you, etc.

Hope you found this helpful if you’re currently dealing with something similar. I can honestly say I found myself in one of the worst places mentally when I was going through this and trying to heal. So, if you’re in the thick of it, if you have any questions for me, I’d love to hear from you in the comments below! Here to provide support however I can 👊

Stay positive!

Mucho love,
