Welcome to The Skin Reset Collective, a podcast for people living with chronic inflammatory skin conditions who have been managing symptoms for years without ever being told what is driving them.
In this first episode, Dr Irene Prantalos, Chinese Medicine Practitioner, shares the clinical path that led her here: what she observed in her own experience of chronic skin inflammation, where the conventional pathway kept stopping short, and the turning point where inflammation stopped looking like a condition of the skin and started looking like a systemic one.
Over twenty-two years of clinical practice, a double degree in human biology and Chinese medicine, and a year interning at a hospital in Nanjing, that observation became something repeatable — the Skin Reset Method, a structured three-phase approach to identifying and addressing the drivers of skin inflammation.
This episode introduces the method at a high level. The ten episodes that follow unpack it phase by phase, so you understand not just what to do, but why the sequence matters.
What this episode covers:
- Why chronic skin inflammation is rarely resolved at the surface
- What conventional and cosmetic approaches to eczema and psoriasis tend to leave unaddressed
- The clinical reasoning that connects gut function, stress load and immune response to skin presentation
- How the three phases of the Skin Reset Method are structured, and why they run in that order
- What the next ten episodes will work through
