The Deeper Healing Podcast
Kelly's struggle with severe skin sensitivities started when she was young — beginning with reactions to aluminum deodorants and eventually progressing into debilitating eczema on her hands. The condition became so severe that she wore white gloves daily because the skin on her hands would crack and bleed through the fabric. Conventional medicine offered steroid creams, bleach baths, and immunosuppressants. None of it addressed why it was happening. In this episode, Danielle Howley and Dr. Michael Bauerschmidt discuss Kelly's recovery and the root causes uncovered during her evaluation at Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center. The conversation explores her childhood exposure near an aluminum factory and how environmental medicine practitioners think about long-term toxic burden. Dr. Bauerschmidt explains how aluminum can remain stored in bones for decades, gradually re-releasing as bone tissue naturally turns over. He estimates aluminum has a half-life of approximately 50 years in the body and that roughly 60% is stored in bone — meaning childhood exposures can continue circulating into adulthood. The episode also explores the functional medicine concept of finding the arsonist instead of just putting out the fire — looking for contributors to chronic immune dysfunction rather than focusing solely on symptom suppression. Dr. Bauerschmidt discusses the mistaken identity theory of autoimmunity: the idea that the immune system may attack the body's own tissues when they share protein sequences with an environmental toxin or infection it is fighting. Kelly shares her experience of significant skin improvement after addressing her body burden of metals, molds, and chemicals. Her experience is one person's story, shared to offer information and perspective — not as a representation of typical results or medical advice. Their work is documented in the film Body Burden: The Toxins We Carry — Featuring Deeper Healing [https://ngmdiainc.ontralink.com/t?orid=242734&opid=47]. - - - - - Kelly — Patient, Deeper Healing Medical Wellness CenterKelly pursued a functional medicine evaluation at Deeper Healing after conventional treatments for her severe childhood eczema failed to provide lasting relief. Her evaluation explored environmental contributors—including her childhood proximity to an aluminum factory—and resulted in a targeted protocol addressing her body burden of metals, molds, and chemicals. Kelly reports significant skin improvement and that her hand eczema has resolved. No compensation was provided in exchange for sharing her story. Her experience is one person's account and is not a representation of typical outcomes. - - - - - Take the next steps: Take the First Step Toward Deeper Healing [https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/survey/ipf0ZEulujjTaya4WuYa]: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/survey/ipf0ZEulujjTaya4WuYa [https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/survey/ipf0ZEulujjTaya4WuYa] Learn more at [https://deeperhealing.com/]DeeperHealing.com [http://deeperhealing.com]: https://deeperhealing.com/ [https://deeperhealing.com/] Wondering about your own body burden?
