Follow-up questions they answered
- Is the investment in Dr. Temple's program worth the cost?
- Sarah Gregory acknowledges that while the program is an investment, the long-term stress relief and the ability to live without the burden of eczema make it entirely worth it. — Sarah Gregory
- Can diet changes really help a child's eczema?
- Yes, despite being told otherwise by a traditional allergist, Sarah found that cutting dairy and gluten while building up specific nutrients under Dr. Temple's guidance was a key tipping point for her son's healing. — Sarah Gregory
- How accessible are the providers in the virtual program?
- Sarah noted that the virtual providers were highly accessible; she could post questions in the forum at any time and receive a response very quickly, which helped her tackle the issue faster than in-person appointments. — Sarah Gregory
