Dr. Julie Greenberg is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and founder of the Center for Integrative Dermatology, a practice that offers holistic natural medicine for dermatological conditions. She advocates the idea of treating skin problems by treating the root causes through evidence-based alternative treatments. Julie also practices functional medicine, writes peer-reviewed dermatology articles, and is an expert herbalist.

Julie joins us to discuss how she approaches skin health in a holistic manner. She explains how our gut health affects our risks for skin disease and how we can improve it through diet. She shares her thoughts on Leaky Gut and how it relates to what she calls “Leaky Skin.” She also explains the effects of sugar consumption on acne and why she does not agree with drinking milk if you’re no longer a child.
