Root Cause Healing: What I Learned After Years of Skin Flares

Kat Vong Season 1 Episode 23

EP 23. For years, I tried everything to heal my chronic and severe eczema. But it wasn’t until I stopped to question why I was having the symptoms in the first place, that I finally discovered the power of root cause healing. 

So many of us mask our symptoms with medication, products and surface-level treatments, but what if your symptoms are trying to tell you something deeper? In this solo episode, I draw from my own health journey and past conversations with expert guests to provide a mini masterclass with actionable takeaways on the root cause approach to healing. 

This episode is about connecting the dots. When you’re experiencing chronic symptoms, whether it’s eczema, brain fog, or gut issues, I uncover the silent ways toxins and gut dysfunction can sabotage your health and how functional medicine and root cause healing differs from conventional approaches. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • How functional medicine could reveal what typical blood work misses
  • The question you need to ask yourself if you’re experiencing symptoms
  • How everyday items like plastic food storage and hair gel are secretly poisoning your system
  • How “leaky gut” could explain why your skin freaks out after eating certain foods
  • What nobody tells you about the beauty and personal care industry
  • How toxic overload shows up as skin issues, digestive problems, and autoimmune conditions
  • The top 3 toxin reduction strategies for immediate impact in your home
  • How you could be doing everything “right” when it comes to health and wellness, yet still feel awful
