#273: Integrative Dermatology for Adult Acne, Eczema, and Melasma with Dr. Julie Greenberg
Steph interviews Dr. Julie Greenberg, ND about common skin concerns like adult acne, eczema, and melasma. Dr. Julie Greenberg is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and Registered Herbalist RH(AHG) who specializes in integrative dermatology. Dr. Greenberg approaches skin and hair problems by finding and treating the root cause instead of ignoring or only medicating the issue. She’s also a huge fan of Active Skin Repair, a podcast sponsor, and uses the product in nearly all of her protocols to support her client's skin concerns. They discuss how integrative dermatology looks at skin issues, starting at the gut. Dr. Greenberg breaks down the science and provides the full story when it comes to things like “hormonal” acne, face mapping, sunscreen, and expensive “anti-aging” products. Her multi-pronged approach to healing skin concerns and promoting skin health includes the use of herbs, food, hormone and gut testing, and supportive hydrogels like Active Skin Repair.
