403. Holistic dermatology: a better way forward for our skin challenges with Dr Julie Greenberg

Low Tox Life

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:

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

And a brilliant masterclass we did on the “Skin Stress Cycle” with live Q&A with Dr Jude Lenart, is in our membership archive library - you can join the Low Tox Club any time for just $49AUD for the year and there are lots of lovely perks if you do! 600+ people can’t be wrong?
