Hello, I'm Monica Reinagle, and you're listening to The Nutrition Diva Podcast Welcome.

I have two really good listener questions for you this week.

Mars question is about the relationship between diet and skin conditions, and their email

began with some very kind words about the podcast.

I wanted to say how much I appreciate what you do, they wrote, people who can wade into

scientific studies and convey that information in an easy to understand way are rare.

Not only that, but you do it with empathy and self-awareness.

It's easy to shake one's head at people who get obsessed with superfoods or fad diets,

but you remind me to be compassionate and patient and to listen and understand before

launching into explanations.

So thank you for your patience and your work in transforming misinformation and got reactions

into thoughtful conversations and learning experiences.

I take the time to read this because this means the world to me.

It's my goal in this podcast to never shut someone down or make them feel stupid for

something that they've asked or something that they believe.

My intention is to help us all move toward a greater understanding of the facts, but also

of each other.

I don't always get that right, but it is especially meaningful to hear that some of that comes

through.

So thank you so much, Mar.

But as I said, Mar also had a question having to do with eczema and the role that diet

plays.
