Ever feel like you've done everything and STILL aren't getting answers about your eczema (or other skin rashes)?
You're not alone.
Even I felt like my dermatologist should have better answers than just use another steroid cream and "this is probably genetic". I really felt like the answers that I got weren't real answers.
At a certain point, I realized that I'd rather someone level with me and say "I don't know what's causing your eczema" rather than just blaming things that felt out of my control.
And that's how one of my clients felt as he neared the point of feeling very hopeless. He's tried both conventional and holistic solutions without getting pretty much anywhere.
Fortunately, we crossed paths and were able to uncover a major root cause that has gotten him some great results!
All it took was asking the right questions so that we knew where to dig!
In this episode:
- Chad's challenging eczema story
- Why a really in-depth case history was crucial to finding answers
- How we chose testing that help get to Chad's root causes
- Why an elimination diet didn't help at all even though prior testing said he had many sensitivities
- What Chad's eczema is like now after working on his root cause
Quotes:
"One crucial step in my process is doing an incredibly thorough case history. I often ask questions that no one has ever asked before. All to tell me where we need to dig!"
"If you've ever visited a third world country, it can be a red flag... even if you didn't get sick. It's possible that you picked something up that didn't make you sick enough to even consider it a trigger for your rashes."
