Hi, I’m Julia Martin,
I suffered from eczema since I was a baby. 30 years of itching, hiding, avoiding and feeling trapped. I tried remedy after remedy but nothing got rid of the eczema for good; it always came back.

I became a physician thinking that dermatology or immunology would provide sustainable answers to my questions. But unfortunately, when I could finally prescribe any medication to myself, I was still only able to suppress my rashes for a while till they returned with a vengeance. I was devastated.

One day, I came across Functional Medicine. A holistic way of approaching health and wellness. Functional Medicine does not just "manage" disease or suppress symptoms. It aims to address the root causes for the individual illness and empowers patients with education to heal themselves. This seemed more logical and sustainable than anything I had encountered before. So I went back to school and studied Functional Medicine, applied my newly gained knowledge step-by-step and finally after 30 years of suffering I gained back control. Without any magic, but by figuring out the root causes for my eczema, developing a comprehensive action plan for myself and sticking to it.

I had reached a new level of understanding and empowerment. I was back in charge of my skin, my health and joy of living! Now I am passionate about educating fellow eczema warriors about Functional Medicine and coaching them through this empowering transformation.
