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. If you’re looking to better understand how to take care of your skin using tips you likely won’t get from a conventional dermatologist, this is a must-listen!

Show Notes:
After six miscarriages, Care fostered a five-year-old little girl, named Angie, whom she was finally able to adopt at eight years old. In 2008, Care discovered Hypnobirthing for the birth of her second daughter and it changed her life’s path. Her second daughter was born with severe special needs but it was her birth preparation that prepared her for such an unexpected postpartum time. Care began teaching Hypnobirthing in 2009 and founded the Birth Education Center in 2011. She is a Hypnotherapist, birth educator and a birth and postpartum doula. She specializes in fear release work, authentic communication and consciously connecting parents with their babies before they are born. It is her belief that babies can experience a “birth day” that is magical, loving, and gentle. When families take the time to resolve fears and advocate with their voice, birth can become a beautiful, positive experience.
