June 10, 2019 | 6 Comments | SAFM Team

Hi!

I am so excited to share this Facebook Live and THESE POWERFUL PEARLS of functional medicine with you. At SAFM we honor that scientific knowledge is always evolving. That’s why we regularly revise our content in light of new research findings.

This information is CRITICAL for ALL practitioner modalities.

Are you confident in your skin health knowledge?

Although you may already be a savvy practitioner, I am certain you will learn something new in this video. You’ll walk away with pages of notes and practical pearls you can use in your practice right away.

Here are some of the things we’ll be discussing:

  • I always say, “The skin is like a Giant ______!” Can you guess? Come Learn why…
  • What can the Skin be telling us about the Gut? Some signs will surprise you!
  • Nutrients that are vital to skin health. It’s Not just about Biotin and Omega-3s.
  • Hormones are often more at play in skin challenges than you may realize. Do you know what to look for?
  • Dry skin interconnectedness and root causes that are often missed.
  • Things that can cause oxidative damage and how to avoid.
  • Acne, psoriasis, warts, eczema, rosacea, and more.

Thank you very much for joining in the fun and learning!

With warmth, love, and gratitude to you for sharing your gifts with so many –

So much great info!
Have you come across any specific regarding skin mole growth? When delving into research I haven’t been able to find any clear links as to what is at play. I’m sure there is a genetic factor however what triggers from the environment activate this cell growth? Are there specific nutrients or deficiencies at play?

I cannot tell you how amazing and important these are for al of us!!! The skin is confusing – I have had this weird who knows what rash lie thing that comes and goes on elbows and also fingers that is super painful so everything you have said above makes sense — taches me and is so very helpful! I am a new student to SAFM starting i September and am very honored and excited to be a part of — just saying that the skin is a big mouth alone is super helpful!!! Huge TY to all of you at SAFM and to you to Tracy. Amazing!! 🙂 To understand that we do not want to put anything on it we would not put into our mouths is really a big deal!!!!

Your question is a great example of a case that requires casting a wide net and considering all of the possible options. Yes, it could be so-called ‘heat rash’ simply due to higher sun exposure, but then the question remains why the skin is so sensitive to sunlight. It could indeed be a number of various issues at play: – what is in the sunscreen that the person uses? Sunscreens can be a source of many harmful chemicals that a person wouldn’t apply otherwise. – we eat different foods in the summer and other seasons – there tends to be more fruit, more raw veggies, more fizzy drinks, even more alcohol for some people – I’d dig deep and really inquire about ALL the details as this could be a reaction to either higher amount of fructose or pesticides in food – are there any signs of histamine overload or processing issues – this could very easily create a skin rash when paired with another trigger – is there a special place that the person goes to in the summer? Maybe there is a different detergent that’s used to wash bed sheets and towels in that place. – maybe they… Read more »

Loved this Tracy! Even as a member of SAFM I still found myself with new pearls in my bag e.g. Antihistamines causing dehydration ! I also found myself writing the names of several clients I serve in the column of my notes , as a reminder to check their labs and maps to see if I have addressed some of your points about skin health and interconnectedness. Brilliant ! Thank you as always .
