BIOHACKING ECZEMA: UNLOCKING GUT HEALTH, STRESS AND TOPICAL RELIEF FOR CLEARER SKIN
- by Roxy Marrone
Eczema isn’t just a skin condition—it’s an emotional battle. The constant itch, the visible flare-ups, the way your skin feels raw and out of your control.
It can make you feel isolated, frustrated, and exhausted. Every glance in the mirror reminds you of the struggle. But beneath that, there’s hope.
What it Feels Like:
- Constant itch: The kind that doesn’t let up and worsens with scratching, creating a vicious cycle.
- Skin changes: Over time, your skin can become tougher and more leathery, making flare-ups even more frustrating.
- Visible signs: Blisters, bumps, and crusting that make the skin look and feel irritated.
- Redness: Visible redness and colour on face
Why It Happens:
- Leaky Gut Syndrome: When the gut’s barrier breaks down, toxins and food particles slip through, triggering allergic reactions that show up on the skin.
- Candidiasis: This overgrowth of yeast in the gut wreaks havoc on nutrient absorption and adds to the body’s toxin load, fuelling eczema.
- Food sensitivities and inflammatory foods: Unfriendly foods can fire up the immune system, especially if you’ve got a leaky gut and cause inflammation.
- Unbalanced Gut Flora: When the gut microbiome is out of whack, your skin often shows the effects.
- Stress: While not a direct cause, stress can make your symptoms worse by draining your body’s energy reserves, leaving less for detox and repair.
Bio-hacks to Fight Back:
- Gut Health First: Tackle leaky gut and gut imbalances by incorporating probiotics (like fermented foods or supplements) and prebiotics (fiber-rich foods) to restore your microbiome.
- Bone Broth: Supports skin repair from the inside, helping to soothe eczema-damaged areas and reduce inflammation. This recipe is easy and fun to make. Click here to view recipe.
- Low-Histamine Diet: Cutting out high-histamine foods like processed meats, aged cheese, refined sugar and fizzy drinks can help keep eczema at bay if food sensitivities are a trigger. Download our INFLAMMAGING GUIDE when you sign up to our newsletter.
- Magnesium Baths: Epsom salt baths are not only relaxing but also help to calm itching and inflammation. Magnesium plays a key role in reducing skin irritation.
- LED Light Therapy: Red light therapy can stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in eczema-prone areas, promoting faster recovery.
- Adaptogens for Stress: Consider adaptogenic herbs like Timmut Pepper (found in our Hormone Check Drops) to keep stress levels down and help your body rebalance its natural detox pathways.
- Keep your liver clean: Keeping the liver healthy can help the skin and eczema heal and prevent flare ups. When your liver, kidneys, or gut are overwhelmed by toxins, the body often pushes those out through the skin.
- Chlorophyl & Milk Thistle: Two important actives found in our Hormone Check Drops that help keep the liver in good condition. Avoid alcohol, refined sugar and deep fried food to help the liver more.
- Daily Affirmation Practice: A powerful way to support your healing journey is through daily affirmations. That’s why affirmations are an important part of your healing tool box at eyeam. “I am healed. I am is resilient. I am in control of my health,” can shift your mindset, reduce stress, and boost your confidence. Studies show that positive affirmations help lower stress hormones and can actually improve your body's ability to repair itself, especially when dealing with chronic conditions like eczema. By combining this mindset shift with smart biohacks, you can take control of your skin’s health from the inside out.
Topical Treatment Must-Haves:
- Avoid artificial fragrance: Artificial fragrance in perfume, body products and household products can affect eczema prone skin. Best to avoid these and even some essential oils.
- Avoid harsh cleaning products: We don’t mean just for the house but also for your body, don’t strip your skin with harsh shower gels that contain Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. Opt for 100% clean and natural washes or avoid altogether and use oil as a body wash. Sounds strange but it works.
