Eczema
Eczema, commonly known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that results in dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. This condition disrupts the skin’s natural barrier, making it less effective at retaining moisture and protecting the body from external irritants. People with eczema often describe it as an “itch that rashes,” where the intense itchiness leads to scratching, which then causes the rash to appear or worsen.
As stated in the National Eczema Association, Eczema affects over 31 million people in the United States. The condition can start at any age, whether in infancy, adolescence, or adulthood, and varies in severity. For some, it may begin as early as the first few weeks of life, while others might not experience it until their 20s or even after age 50. In young children, eczema often presents as extremely dry, itchy patches of skin, which can become infected due to persistent scratching. Although the condition is widespread, it can significantly impact quality of life, making effective management and treatment essential.

“Michelle's program made it so much easier on my busy to be able to handle TSW. Sticking to the diet and supplements really helped me not cause any extra inflammation to my body and skin, which I think caused my cycle of flares to be shorter and heal faster. I highly recommend this program to anyone struggling with eczema or TSW.”
“Didn't think it would heal this fast, also my hands are the last thing I would think would heal first because I go through so many gloves at my jobs. All I did was sleep well, meditate and paid attention to my mental heath/stress etc.. Empowered Eczema gave me clarity as to why I was flaring. But also gave me the knowledge on how to better manage the flares.”
“I feel more comfort and freedom daily and don’t feel as self conscious about my skin as I did just four weeks ago!”
Managing eczema is easier with the right support. Coaching, in particular, can be a powerful addition to your healing journey.
A coach can offer emotional support, help you set achievable goals, and guide you in making lifestyle changes that support your skin health. They can work alongside your medical treatment to enhance your overall well-being. However, it’s important to remember that coaching is not a substitute for professional medical care or prescribed medications. Unless your coach has the appropriate medical qualifications, their role is to support and guide, not to replace the expertise of your healthcare provider.
With the right combination of professional treatment and supportive coaching, you can create a well-rounded approach to managing eczema and improving your quality of life.
