If your eczema or psoriasis keeps returning, even after improving your diet, working on your gut health and finding topical care that supports your skin, there may be another layer worth exploring.
Your hormones and metabolic health.
In this episode of The Skin Reset Collective, Dr Irene Prantalos, Chinese Medicine Practitioner, explores the fifth and final pillar of the Skin Reset Method™: Balance Hormones & Metabolic Function.
Dr Irene explains how insulin, blood sugar regulation, cortisol, oestrogen, progesterone and thyroid function can influence inflammation, skin barrier integrity and the way your skin responds to stress.
You'll discover why metabolic health is particularly relevant when supporting psoriasis, how chronic stress can affect cortisol regulation, and why eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions can change during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and perimenopause.
Dr Irene also shares the Chinese Medicine perspective on these patterns — and explains why looking beyond the skin can be an important part of creating more lasting change.
