Stress, Skin & Healing with Dr. Keira Barr

Stress, Skin & Healing with Dr. Keira Barr (Audio)

What if your skin is communicating something deeper? In this episode of the First Sense Podcast, Dr. Lenka Schulze sits down with Dr. Keira Barr, a double-board-certified dermatologist and trauma-trained psycho-dermatologist, to explore the powerful connection between chronic stress, the nervous system, emotional patterns, inflammation, and skin health. Together, they discuss why recurring skin flare-ups may involve more than what is visible on the surface—and how healing can change when we begin listening to the body instead of fighting against it. In this conversation, you’ll hear about: • The relationship between stress and skin health • How nervous-system activation can affect inflammation and flare-ups • Dr. Barr’s “emotional allergy” concept • The impact of beauty standards on women’s confidence and self-worth • Why awareness and self-compassion are essential parts of healing • How the body may communicate what the conscious mind has not yet processed This episode invites you to look beyond isolated symptoms and consider the deeper relationship between the mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Your body may not be working against you. It may be communicating. Learn more about Dr. Lenka at Lenka.org. Learn more about Dr. Keira Barr at DrKeiraBarr.com.
