I like to take the guess work out of assessing which foods might be agitating the immune system of my eczema patients. Food is not the only trigger, and, it’s useful to know.

Are you sure you’re treating eczema?

Whilst there are visual similarities across the most chronic skin conditions, it’s still important to know what you’re treating.

I was fortunate to discuss this with Toni Chambers from Bio Concepts Between Clinical Minds.

💊 Topical steroids – another controversial tool in eczema care. Many practitioners hesitate to recommend them, fearing side effects, withdrawal, and dependency.
Here’s the reality:
✅ They have a place – when used correctly.
✅ Abrupt withdrawal causes rebound flares.
✅ Barrier repair & inflammation control must go hand-in-hand.
🚀 The key is knowing when to use them – and when to stop. In our Masterclass, we’ll teach safe, effective, step-down strategies for your patients, so you can treat with confidence.

When I trained students at university, I absolutely loved teaching those subjects where you get to draw all the clues together. And I also geek out on a good mind-map 🤓 . This one shows the inter-relationships between atopic dermatitis, thyroid disease, impact on digestive function, possible SIBO, steroid use and skin barrier dysfunction, steroid withdrawal and how, over time, this has affected adrenal function and glucose regulation.
I use these diagrams with patients and students. They're easy to understand and reduce the need for over-complicated explanations. Less is more.

🚨 Why do eczema treatments fail? Patience, persistence and confidence.
You already know the basics—moisturize, avoid triggers, consider food sensitivities. But if your patients are still flaring despite their “perfect” routine, something deeper is at play.
In this masterclass, you’ll learn advanced strategies for:
✅ Gut & immune support (histamine intolerance, dysbiosis)
✅ The right way to do elimination diets & food rechallenges
✅ How to calm highly reactive patients with the right prescribing strategies
💡 Stop feeling stuck. Start treating with confidence.

📅 Starts May 16 – https://www.naturl.link/xPr9iB

If you've ever tried guiding a patient through a low histamine protocol, you know:
Endless, conflicting food lists don’t help. They overwhelm. They confuse. And then they stop.
Worst of all — they distract from the real goal: reducing histamine load enough to make a clinical difference.

That’s why I created a 2-page Low Histamine Diet Handout for practitioners:
🔹 A simple traffic light system (go, caution, avoid)
🔹 Designed for real-world patients (not text book ones)
🔹 Focused on clinical outcomes — does it help their symptoms? That’s the measure.

It’s about progress, not perfection.
And giving patients a clear, achievable experiment:
👉 “Let’s adjust your diet. Let’s observe. Let’s decide together what’s next.”

📢 Less than 5 weeks until we kick off!
Are you confident in your eczema treatment approach?

Many practitioners feel overwhelmed treating AD because:
❌ They aren’t sure what’s causing flare-ups
❌ Prescribing feels risky
❌ Standard treatment often fails long-term

🚀 This Masterclass changes that.
