Less Stressed Life: Helping You Heal Yourself #210 Eczema 101 root causes, testing, kids, topicals and first steps with Christa Biegler, RD
You 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.
