Here is a new episode for my new "Encouragement Series" from The Eczema Podcast to let you know that having eczema is not your fault. You may have blamed yourself, felt shame or embarrassment from having eczema and dermatitis, but nothing that's happened to you is your fault.
It's not your fault that you suffer with this.
It's not your fault that you have eczema on your body.
It's not your fault that it interferes with your daily activities, or that you feel different from other people who don't have to go through this.
Hopefully a message like this will help you feel less alone and also encourage you to not give up.

You'll also learn things like:
Our guest today is Dr. Nima Rahmany, a chiropractor and Mental & Health Optimization Coach, who discovered that most illnesses stem from a past traumatic event. After 15 years as a chiropractor, Dr. Nima found that most of his patients came to see him for various issues that stemmed from stress. However, he became increasingly frustrated when chiropractic care alone could not address why people got sick, stressed, and stuck.
Fascinated by the various healing methodologies he had studied for more than 20 years, he formulated The Overview Method™. Today, he dedicates his life to studying and teaching principles of healing the mind and body to overcome stress. He spread his message through speaking and working in one-on-one sessions with people across the globe.

I feel so blessed to have met Dr. Jason because he’s really helped me in my journey (along with an incredible amount of people!). Patients fly in from all over US and Canada to meet him.

Today, he is a naturopath with a successful practice – especially when it comes to treating people with eczema and other skin issues.

Today’s podcast interview is all about giving hope to eczema sufferers around the world.
In this episode, I had the privilege of connecting with Julie Block, the CEO of the National Eczema Association to learn more about why 2015 is a year of hope for those suffering with eczema.
As someone who used to suffer from such incredibly severe eczema for so long before, I felt so alone during the process and I can’t believe that I never looked into the National Eczema Association during my flare ups. To be honest, I had no idea what they did and what resources they had on hand for someone like me.
During the interview, I was so touched by Julie’s passion and care to help those suffering from eczema. It’s so great to know that a CEO invests so much in helping with eczema and really wants to help people overcome it! There’s nothing better than having someone lead an organization who really cares about it.
WHAT WE COVER IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
If you already know what the National Eczema Association does, skip the first 3 minutes to hear about their upcoming initiatives this year and why eczema sufferers can feel hopeful this year.
