Like many people, I simply thought skin problems were something that could be solved with another cream.

During my early 20s, I developed persistent skin issues including eczema that never seemed to fully go away.

One doctor became another. Then another referral.
 

Eventually I found myself at the National Skin Centre.

Over time I received different diagnoses and different treatments. The symptoms would improve, then return. The cycle repeated itself.

That experience changed something.

Instead of asking,

"What cream should I use?“

I started asking,

"Why is this happening in the first place?"

That question changed the course of my life.
