My Eczema Journey: Overcoming Skin Struggles with Gut Heath

Updated: May 3, 2024



Hey beautiful people,


Today I want to share a personal story that's been near and dear to my heart—the journey of overcoming eczema and rediscovering confidence through the lens of gut health. Over the past few months, I've navigated the challenges of living with persistent eczema flare-ups that not only affected my skin but also took a toll on my self-confidence and overall quality of life.


Living with eczema impacted me in ways I never expected. It wasn't just about dealing with uncomfortable rashes and itching—it was about feeling self-conscious in social situations, avoiding certain clothing choices, and battling emotional ups and downs. Eczema had a profound effect on my self-esteem and mental well-being, influencing how I interacted with the world around me.


In my quest for answers, I began researching the fascinating link between gut health and skin health. Our gut and skin are intimately connected through what's known as the gut-skin axis—a bidirectional communication pathway between our digestive system and our skin. Imbalances in the gut microbiome can lead to inflammation and immune dysfunction, contributing to skin conditions like eczema.


Armed with this knowledge, I embarked on a holistic approach to healing by prioritizing my gut health. Here are my top five gut health foods that have helped me improve both my gut and skin health:


  1. Probiotic-Rich Foods: Incorporate yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kombucha into your diet to support a healthy gut microbiome and reduce inflammation.

  2. Fiber-Packed Foods: Opt for whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes to promote digestive health and regulate bowel movements.

  3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Include sources of omega-3s such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts to reduce inflammation and support skin hydration.

  4. Bone Broth: Enjoy homemade bone broth, rich in collagen and amino acids, to support gut lining integrity and improve overall gut health.

  5. Leafy Greens, Curciferous vegetables and Berries: Incorporate spinach, kale, brocolli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and berries into your meals for their antioxidant properties, which help combat oxidative stress and promote skin health.


To kickstart your own journey towards better gut and skin health, I've created a comprehensive Gut Health Kickstart Guide. This guide is filled with practical tips, meal plans, and recipes that I have used and are designed to nourish your gut and promote radiant skin from within.
