Dr. Ana-Maria Temple says fix your diet before buying supplements. Processed foods drive chronic inflammation that shows up as eczema or ADHD. Her rule: if you can't read the ingredient list, don't eat it.
if we don't get our nutrition on track, we can put all the supplements, we can do all the creams, our issues are not gonna resolve. And we look at one of the things that you talk about all the time that I love so much, and that's actually how I started following you circa 2016, is about ingredients. Because if it's a processed food, we know that the rates of chronic disease are significantly higher in those who eat processed foods. So rule of thumb, if you can't read it, don't eat it. Exactly. If you look at an ingredient and you have to DM me, or DM Carolyn, right? About, is this okay for my 18-month-old? Oh my gosh. I know. If you have to DM that, the answer is no. So processed foods are a huge causer of eczema inflammation because eczema and chronic issues that we're gonna talk about too is ADHD. Our body's a bucket of inflammation and when the bucket gets full, it overflows. And in people with a tendency for the skin, they're gonna inflame in the skin. For people with a tendency for neurological stuff, they're gonna flare for ADHD. So looking at processed foods and removing those will decrease the inflammatory bucket.
