In this episode, Dr. Fong shares her personal journey with TSW and dives deep into the science behind this challenging condition. Learn how repeated steroid use can lead to TSW, why it’s an emerging clinical problem, and what you can do to heal. Dr. Fong outlines her signature two-phase approach:

  • Phase One: Supporting the adrenals, optimizing sleep, providing immediate symptom relief, and addressing nutritional deficiencies to stabilize your body.
  • Phase Two: Tackling the underlying root causes of eczema, such as microbiome imbalances, leaky gut, and lifestyle factors, for long-term healing.

If you’ve been battling eczema or suspect you’re experiencing TSW, this episode offers the understanding and support you need. Dr. Fong also discusses actionable tips, including the importance of cryotherapy, healing baths, and mood-balancing strategies to improve your quality of life during recovery.
