This week on The Less Stressed Life, I’m talking about relapse and why skin often flares after illness, food poisoning, antibiotics, or stressful events. Instead of viewing relapse as failure, I want you to see it as feedback and your body’s way of asking for deeper support.

I share a case study of a child whose skin cleared beautifully, only to flare again after back-to-back viruses and stress, and connect it to common patterns I see in practice. You will learn the physiological reasons relapse happens and how to respond strategically so you can support resilience instead of feeling defeated.

If you have ever felt frustrated by flare-ups that seem to undo your progress, this episode will help you understand why it happens and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.
