Eczema is never just about the skin. It can affect your sleep, confidence, relationships, and the way you move through everyday life. When flare-ups keep returning, it's natural to wonder if something deeper is being overlooked. In this episode, Abby and Ben share real stories from people who have experienced eczema at different stages of life. They explain why healing is rarely one-size-fits-all and explore how factors like gut health, skin barrier health, nutrient deficiencies, hormones, stress, immune function, and hidden infections may all play a role in the bigger picture. Whether you're living with eczema yourself or supporting someone you love, this conversation offers a compassionate, root-cause perspective to help you better understand what may be happening beneath the surface –and why taking the time to understand your body can bring more clarity and confidence on your healing journey.
