Bacterial vs. Fungal Overgrowth: The Hidden Impact on Skin and Gut Health - S7E4 (REBROADCAST)
Did you know that many eczema sufferers often experience significant bacterial or fungal overgrowth—or even a combination of both?

Here’s what you’ll learn: - The different gut microbes (like staph, strep, and candida) and their impact on eczema - How to differentiate between bacterial and fungal overgrowth on the skin - The role of malassezia in seborrheic dermatitis and fungal overgrowth - How long it can take for the gut to recover from antibiotics (hint: over a year!) - The link between recurring yeast infections, digestive issues, and eczema flares Want to learn more from our team?

From Hating My Skin to Healing It: My Story - S7E3
Ever felt like your skin was working against you – and that no one understood? In this new video, I share my full eczema journey – how it started in childhood, intensified after heartbreak and postpartum, and nearly pushed me to give up. I open up about the emotional pain, the turning points, and the long, messy road to healing. Could healing your skin start with healing more than just your body? I went through a tough time with my skin, dealing with rashes that left me feeling uncomfortable and unable to shower. I struggled with my self-image and often avoided looking in the mirror. But somehow, I found my way through and eventually healed. After 10 years, I'm ready to share my complete story about battling eczema. It all started in my childhood, became overwhelming during difficult life events like heartbreak and after having a baby, and finally, I discovered what truly helped me heal. I faced severe skin flare-ups and deep feelings of sadness, but I found my way to recovery by taking a whole-person approach – focusing on my overall health rather than just my skin. I want to share my honest journey, the unexpected triggers I discovered, and the hope that I thought I had lost. 💡 3 important THINGS from my experience: 1️⃣ Eczema isn't just about the skin—our emotions, stress, and past experiences can make flare-ups worse. 2️⃣ Changing my diet helped a bit, but real healing came when I also looked at my gut health, nutritional needs, and hormones. 3️⃣ Even when doctors say things seem hopeless, improvements are possible! If you’re battling eczema or dealing with the effects of stopping steroid creams, don’t lose hope. Healing is achievable.

The #1 Oil I Never Recommend for Eczema - S7E1

The #1 Oil I Never Recommend for Eczema - S7E1
Could one “healthy” oil be sabotaging your eczema recovery? It might be sitting in your skincare right now - and making things worse. Despite its popular reputation, this common oil has been shown to weaken the skin barrier and increase inflammation, especially in sensitive or eczema-prone skin. In this episode, I’m breaking down why I never recommend it for eczema - and sharing a powerful study that compared it to another oil that actually improved skin hydration and barrier function. The difference is more important than most people realize. If your skin feels drier, redder, or more irritated after applying certain products, this could be the missing link.

Bacterial vs. Fungal Overgrowth: The Hidden Impact on Skin and Gut Health - S6E64
Did you know that many eczema sufferers often experience significant bacterial or fungal overgrowth—or even a combination of both? This is why treatments that only focus on addressing bacterial overgrowth might not fully help the skin, especially if fungal overgrowth hasn’t been addressed. In this episode, Abby welcomes JP, from the Eczema Conquerors Team. With over 10 years of experience treating eczema, JP dives deep into the connection between gut health and skin conditions. Here’s what you’ll learn: - The different gut microbes (like staph, strep, and candida) and their impact on eczema - How to differentiate between bacterial and fungal overgrowth on the skin - The role of malassezia in seborrheic dermatitis and fungal overgrowth - How long it can take for the gut to recover from antibiotics (hint: over a year!) - The link between recurring yeast infections, digestive issues, and eczema flares Want to learn more from our team?
