For eight years, I thought my eczema was about food.
In my last post, I shared the question that changed my career:
Am I helping people heal... or am I helping them manage?
The truth is, that question began with me.
For more than eight years, I lived with eczema.
As a Holistic Nutritionist, I did everything I knew.
I changed my diet.
I eliminated trigger foods.
I took supplements.
I followed therapeutic nutrition protocols.
And honestly...
It worked.
Within the first eight months, my eczema improved dramatically.
I thought I had found the answer.
Then, one day, it came back.
I was confused.
At the time, I was helping clients with eczema every day in clinic. Many of them improved using the very same protocols.
Yet every morning, I looked at my own skin and quietly wondered:
"Why are these protocols working for my clients... but not for me?"
That question stayed with me for years.
Eventually, I realized I had been asking the wrong question.
I was asking, "What should I eat?" Instead of,
"What is my body trying to tell me?"
I had been so focused on food that I avoided a much deeper conversation—with myself.
When I finally stopped resisting...
When I allowed myself to be seen...
When I listened instead of trying to fix...
Everything changed.
Looking back, I don't believe my eczema was my enemy.
I believe it was my teacher.
Today, I still believe in nutrition, supplements, and therapeutic protocols. They all have an important place.
But I've learned they are only part of the conversation.
Sometimes, healing doesn't begin with another protocol.
Sometimes, healing begins with the conversation we've been avoiding.
🌿 Has your body ever been trying to tell you something that took years to understand?
I'd love to hear your reflections.
From managing to healing. One conversation at a time.
