Hi Joy - what a fantastic podcast on rosacea!!! I agree with you in that there is very little good information out there on how to manage rosacea. I've had rosacea for at least 10 years. The dermatologists always gave me the same story about how it's genetic, no cure, just put this cream on. Last year I got serious about cleaning up my diet. I no longer eat dairy, corn, soy or gluten. I cut caffeine and alcohol as well. I also discovered my rosacea is triggered by too much fat and/or protein in my diet, so for this, I only eat meat once a day and limit my healthy fats where possible. In just 8 months, I feel better than I ever have before. My rosacea is still there but so much more manageable now. I really want to try some of the supplements you recommended and your skin care as well. Thank you Joy! Your podcast has been truly refreshing and insightful.

Hi, Joy. How do we use the coupon for the DUTCH test? I thought only certified practitioners could order the test. Would we give the code to them? Thanks!

Why "manage" rosacea when you can HEAL? "Managing" keeps us in the old paradigm where a "cure" comes from the "outside", usually in the form of a pharmaceutical pill. (This thinking is unfortunately prominent in functional medicine, where pharmaceuticals are replaced by supplements). "Healing", on the other hand, allows us to step into a space of possibility, to listen to our body's innate wisdom, and to support it so it can do what it knows how to do best: heal. A shift in paradigm that will free us from the grip of our current sickcare system and one that is long overdue.

Thanks for this wonderful podcast. Very informative! I've had rosacea for over 10 years (I'm 54 now) and it's gotten a bit better by trying to reduce my histamines in foods. I'm going to try some of the supplements you recommend. I'm also curious about red light therapy. I heard you mention it on another episode (#102), and was wondering if you bought a device to use at home on a regular basis. I've thought many times of trying IPL, but am worried that it seems a bit "aggressive", and I am thinking red light therapy sounds gentler.
