Eczema is a common skin condition that can, ironically, make people feel very isolated. My guest today will share about her journey with eczema, and how it inspired her to become an advocate for others with this skin rash.
My guest today, Rakhi Roy Chowdhury, holds a Master’s in Dietetics & Nutrition and a BA in Anthropology & Theatre.
She is an actress-turned Registered Dietitian with more allergies than the average person. Her theater and film career had to take a back seat due to constant eczema flareups that prevented her from going to auditions and booking work.
After realizing nutrition played a pivotal role in managing her eczema, Rakhi embraced a change in career to devote her time to helping others like herself.
She is now a board licensed Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, and helps others manage their skin conditions, balance digestive issues, and follow their bliss.
Join us as we talk about Rakhi's journey with eczema, interesting observations about how eczema shows up on different skin tones, and more.
Has your eczema been misdiagnosed as hyperpigmentation? Let me know in the comments!
“For me, it'll be a lot of fermentable types of foods and grains that will start to make me itchy and I do notice it with the histamines.” [11:47]
“I don't think this experience is a negative thing. I think it makes you humble. You have to give yourself grace in these moments and really find out what it's teaching you.” [16:16]
