You might’ve heard chickpeas are bad because they…⁣
⁣
❓ Contain phytic acid (aka “anti-nutrients”)⁣
❓ Cause bloating, gas and trigger SIBO⁣
❓ Worsen leaky gut ⁣
❓ Legumes cause inflammation⁣
⁣
Comment “YES” below if you’ve heard this?⁣
⁣
You’ve also probably heard the opposite — that chickpeas are…⁣
⁣
✔️ Nutrient-dense⁣
✔️ Gut-loving⁣
✔️ Easy, affordable, versatile⁣
⁣
Confused?⁣
⁣
Ya the internet is FULL of contradicting information and it’s a wild rodeo out there.⁣
⁣
Here’s the truth 👇🏼⁣
⁣
Chickpeas can be a powerful food as medicine tool for eczema & gut healing⁣
… But ONLY IF you prepare them properly.⁣
⁣
⁣
🌿 They’re rich in prebiotic fiber (which feeds the good bugs in your gut)⁣
🌿 High in plant based protein rich (supports skin repair)⁣
🌿 Loaded vitamins + minerals (like zinc, magnesium + folate)⁣
🌿 Helps balance blood sugar (lowering inflammatory spikes that drive flares)⁣
⁣
BUT… there’s a catch:⁣
⁣
⚠️ Phytic acid (found in legumes) ⁣
can bind to minerals and reduce absorption⁣
That’s why soaking and prepping them matters… especially if you’ve got gut issues or eczema flares.⁣
⁣
⁣
📌 How to prep for maximum benefits:⁣
⁣
• Time poor? → Use organic tinned chickpeas⁣
• Gut conscious? → Use dried chickpeas, soak overnight with a splash of ACV or lemon, rinse well, and cook⁣
• Hot tip: Use a rice cooker or slow cooker for batch prep!⁣
⁣
📌 My favourite Crunchy Chickpea Snack Recipe⁣
⁣
Savoury Version:⁣
• Toss cooked chickpeas in olive oil, salt, garlic, paprika (or your fave seasoning)⁣
• Roast at 200°C (400°F) for 28–30 min, tossing halfway⁣
⁣
Sweet Version:⁣
• Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup with cinnamon and a pinch of salt⁣
⁣

3 Reasons Detoxes Made Marjorie’s Eczema Worse⁣
⁣
Marjorie and her husband both did a detox.⁣
Her husband’s skin? Glowing.⁣
Her skin? Red raw, oozing and painful.⁣
⁣
She was baffled⁣
But it finally it all makes sense to Marjorie after discovering this….⁣
⁣
After working with 1,000 people inside the Love Your Skin Program, I’ve seen this pattern on repeat:⁣
⁣
People try detoxes, juicing, fasting, and cleanses ⁣
… desperate for relief.⁣
⁣
Instead of glowing? Their skin flares.⁣
⁣
Not because detoxes are “bad.”⁣
Because they’re using the right tool… at the wrong time.⁣
⁣
⁣
Here’s why detox often backfires:⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Overstimulates Phase 1 liver detox⁣
→ Increases internal inflammation… before the body is ready to eliminate it.⁣
⁣
2️⃣ Lacks nutrients for Phase 2⁣
→ Without enough protein, B vitamins, and minerals, toxins get “stuck” mid-process.⁣
→ They recirculate… and comes out through your skin.⁣
⁣
3️⃣ Skips Phase 3: Elimination⁣
→ If your gut and lymph system aren’t ready to flush toxins out, your skin becomes the exit route.⁣
⁣
The result?⁣
❌ Nutrient deficiencies⁣
❌ Gut dysfunction⁣
❌ Systemic Inflammation⁣
❌ Hormonal imbalances⁣
❌ Nervous system stress⁣
❌ Hyper active immune response⁣
❌ … and more flares than when you started⁣
⁣
We see it clearly in functional tests:⁣
🔬 Intestinal inflammation⁣
🔬 Candida, parasites, dysbiosis⁣
🔬 Nutrient malabsorption⁣
🔬 Intestinal permeability markers (leaky gut)⁣
🔬 Heavy metals⁣
⁣
Here’s the truth:⁣
Detoxification is an essential part of eczema healing…⁣
But only once your body’s ready.⁣
Otherwise? It’s pouring gasoline on the fire.⁣
⁣
Inside the LYS Program, we do things differently.⁣
We map your symptoms, assess your phase of healing, and sequence detox only when your system can handle it.⁣

This is why detoxes can make eczema worse.

Your liver is constantly filtering hormones, chemicals, medications, and waste.

But in a world of chronic stress and constant exposure,
that system can become overwhelmed.

When your detox pathways slow down, symptoms ramp up.
And for many of us?
That looks like eczema.

Here’s what this carousel walks you through:

🌿 Signs your liver may be struggling (like fatigue, histamine issues, painful periods, 1–3am wakeups)
🌿 Why your liver matters (especially when healing skin, hormones, or histamine)
🌿 Why most detoxes make eczema worse (and what they get wrong about Phase 1 and 2)
🌿 The 3 phases of liver detoxification (and what happens when Phase 2 lags behind)
🌿 What actually helps (food as medicine to support your liver)
🌿 Why healing is a process (not a quick fix)
🌿 And how to take the next step

🍓 The Hidden Chemicals in Your Berries⁣⁣
⁣⁣
With the increased demand for berries,⁣⁣
farmers increased insecticide use to boost yields⁣⁣
And lower prices.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But what happens to the chemical load inside your body?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Every day, we’re exposed to hundreds of chemicals,⁣⁣
not just from food, but from air, water, skincare, ⁣⁣
cleaning products, etc.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While each exposure might seem small,⁣⁣
it’s the accumulation over time that matters.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Your liver, gut, and detox systems⁣⁣
are constantly working to clear what doesn’t belong.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But when your toxic load exceeds your detox capacity…⁣⁣
the body starts waving red flags.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For some, that shows up as:⁣⁣
🚩 Fatigue⁣⁣
🚩 Brain fog⁣⁣
🚩 Gut issues⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For others, especially with eczema, allergies, or histamine sensitivity…⁣⁣
it can look like:⁣⁣
🚩 Rashes⁣⁣
🚩 Flares⁣⁣
🚩 Immune dysregulation⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because when your gut barrier breaks down,⁣⁣
your liver gets overwhelmed,⁣⁣
your detox pathways get sluggish,⁣⁣
your skin steps in to help eliminate the burden.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But it’s not built for that job long term.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This isn’t about fear.⁣⁣
It’s about awareness.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So you can make food choices from a place of clarity,⁣⁣
not confusion or guilt.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🫐 Choose organic when you can⁣⁣
🧼 Wash produce thoroughly⁣⁣
🔁 Rotate fruit types across the week⁣⁣
🌿 Support your gut & detox systems consistently — not just in crisis⁣⁣

Which of these have you tried to manage your eczema? Comment below 👇🏼⁣
⁣
Don’t worry, it’s not just you.⁣
⁣
Michelle tried all of these strategies for years.⁣
Yet she was still covered in rashes.⁣
⁣
This is the perfect example that⁣
More tests and more supplements does NOT = eczema healing⁣
⁣
⁣
She’d seen specialists. ⁣
Cut out foods. ⁣
Spent thousands on tests. ⁣
Meditated. ⁣
Micromanaged. ⁣
Searched Reddit at 2am.⁣
⁣
Michelle wasn’t lazy. ⁣
She wasn’t uninformed. ⁣
She was exhausted.⁣
⁣
Because every time something “didn’t work,” ⁣
It reinforced the lie: maybe healing isn’t possible for me,⁣
⁣
But what if the real problem… wasn’t the tools?⁣
What if it was the order? ⁣
The support? ⁣
The strategy behind them?⁣
⁣
In this carousel, we break down exactly what Michelle tried… and why it all failed (until it didn’t).⁣
⁣
🔹 Steroids? Temporary relief → worse rebound⁣
🔹 Naturopaths? Great info → poor sequencing⁣
🔹 Food testing? Created fear, not healing⁣
🔹 Nervous system tools? Good → but not deep enough⁣
🔹 Google? Confusing. Isolating. Overwhelming.⁣
⁣
What finally changed?⁣
➡️ Seeing the whole picture⁣
➡️ Using the right tools in the right order⁣
➡️ Healing with a team trained specifically in eczema⁣
⁣
If you’ve felt like Michelle, tired of swinging blindly…. this is for you.⁣

Have you cut out foods? Not sure what to eat and what not to eat? Now have fear of food? ... AND your skin STILL isn't healing?

You’re not alone.
And it’s not your fault.

This was Michelle’s story after doing IgG food sensitivity testing…

She eliminated all the foods that came back “reactive.”
Developed massive food anxiety.
And her skin? Still flaring. Still covered in rashes.

Here’s what her practitioners never explained:

🧠 IgG test results show reactivity NOT causation.
They flag foods your immune system is reacting to.
But that’s often a sign of GUT DYSFUNCTION.

When your gut is leaky and inflamed
(aka intestinal permeability + dysbiosis),
Your immune system overreacts to everyday foods… even the healthy ones.

So the problem isn’t the food.
It’s the internal dysfunction causing those reactions.

That’s why elimination alone don’t work long-term:

→ You’re treating the symptom (food reactions)
→ Not the cause (gut + immune imbalance)
→ Creating food anxiety (which worsens inflammation)
→ And missing the real root causes

Michelle didn’t need another diet.
She needed nervous system repair, gut healing and a clear roadmap.

And once she had that?
She eats freely.
No restrictions.
No anxiety.
No more skin flares.

Why would THIS program work… when I'd already tried everything?"⁣
⁣
That was Michelle’s honest hesitation.⁣
⁣
She’d already:⁣
⁣
✗ Had stress management tools … tapping for YEARS, forest bathing meditation⁣
✗ Seen a naturopath, taken all the supplements… omega-3s, B12, vitamin D⁣
✗ Done the functional testing… GI-360, hair mineral analysis, organic acids test⁣
✗ Done food sensitivity testing… cut out all the foods⁣
✗ Spent years and thousands of dollars trying to heal her eczema⁣
⁣
But her eczema never cleared.⁣
⁣
So when she saw the Love Your Skin Program ⁣
focused on the nervous system and functional testing… ⁣
⁣
Michelle had her doubts.⁣
But she took the plunge.⁣
⁣
Then something shifted… ✨⁣
(watch the videos to find out)⁣
⁣
That was the moment everything changed.⁣
⁣
Not because we gave her a new test or supplement.⁣
Not because she rewired her brain-skin connection.⁣
But because for the first time, all the pieces came together:⁣
⁣
✅ A team of eczema experts that understood her full story⁣
✅ Nervous system work sequenced with protocols (not used in isolation)⁣
✅ A plan that finally made sense to her body… not just her brain⁣
⁣
Today?⁣
“I’m no longer obsessed with my skin.⁣
I don’t check the mirror.⁣
I don’t anticipate tomorrow’s flare.⁣
I’m living. I’m working. I have my life back.”⁣

Do Doctors keep prescribing stronger eczema medications? But your eczema keeps getting worse?

That was Michelle’s story too.

Michelle did everything they told her:
💊 Stronger and stronger topical steroids (but the rashes returned)
💊 Prednisone / oral steroids (tapered off but rashes came back)
💊 Steroid cream WHILE tapering off prednisone (but it didn’t work)
💊 Infectious disease referrals (skin was still swollen and horrible)
💊 Cream after cream after cream

But her skin got worse.
More reactive.
More inflamed.
And more out of control.

Because here’s the truth:
You can’t suppress what your body’s trying to express.

These medications only block the fire of inflammation.
But they don’t stop whats sparking it.

Which is why relief is temporary…
And the flares always return.
Often more aggressively.

The real problem?
Michelle wasn’t missing a prescription.
She was missing a map.

She needed a new framework that asked:
🔍 What’s triggering this inflammation?
🔍 What state is your nervous system in when you apply the tools?
🔍 What healing order does your body actually need?

That’s what changed everything.

Have you been caught in this loop…stronger meds, worse flares, no clarity?
You’re not alone. And you’re not crazy.

Has eczema become your full time job?
Comment “YES” below if you can relate.

So did Michelle’s…

🔥 Swollen, red, peeling skin
🔥 Couldn’t go to work or attend social events
🔥 Constantly checking the mirror
🔥 Nothing working (not steroids, not supplements, not Naturopaths)
🔥 Flare cycles that lasted weeks
🔥 Skin so reactive, even creams stung
🔥 Burning, unbearable itch (especially at night)
🔥 Skin oozing and crusting
🔥 Ice packs just to sleep
🔥 Emotional exhaustion and medical gaslighting
🔥 Food fear (not knowing what to eat or what not to eat)

This is the reality of eczema that no one sees.
This is when eczema takes over every part of your day.
It becomes a full time job managing your skin.

Unfortunately, this is a common story with chronic eczema 💔

Have you been/are stuck in this vicious eczema - flare up cycle?

I’d love to know your experience.

A bit about me..

My journey into the world of Nutrition and Natural Medicine stemmed from a lifetime of suffering with eczema and gut issues. I used every steroid cream and natural cream under the sun with no long-term improvement. Then a trip overseas triggered the most horrendous gut issues, triggered more food intolerances and my eczema flared to the worse it’s been.

After seeing numerous doctors and dermatologists with no resolution, I felt frustrated and alone. I started investigating natural remedies and learnt first hand the connection between food, gut health and eczema.

This plus my passion for food and helping people led me to studying a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine. During this time I started Goodness on the Go ready made meals and started working with gyms.

Through personal and clinical experience I developed the Love Your Guts, Love Your Skin. This program helps people with digestive symptoms and eczema find relief so they can feel comfortable and confident in their skin.
