Skin conditions and treatments. That is this week’s show with naturopathic doctor and herbalist Dr Julie Greenberg, founder of rootcausedermatology.com, helping clinicians get to the root of why skin presentations might be happening for that person and how to treat more holistically. She founded her clinic in LA, USA, The Center for Integrative & Naturopathic Dermatology Inc where she also sees patients to support them.

We discuss:

How we treat skin conditions today and how it’s a broken system, needing stronger and stronger topical treatments and injectibles over time, used on younger and younger patients than was initially considered safe.
How we can free ourselves from feeling ‘bad’ for what we’ve done to treat our skin issues in the past and see a place for SOS while we work on the long game.
The difference between eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
How the gut and immune function are intertwined, and can then impact our skin
The sun, the bad wrap it gets, how it relates to the 2 different types of cancers called ‘skin cancers’ and what we need to be doing to have a preventative approach to skin cancers.

We’ve done a few shows on skin issues in the past if you need more shows on skin, here they are:

Asha Everts Part 1 and Part 2
Kiran Krishnan, microbiologist on leaky gut and skin
Liezel Barnard on strengthening our skin preventatively
