In 2018, nutritionist Izabelle Malmberg was practicing a vegan diet while being told “nothing” could be done about her eczema. The only solution that resulted in improvement was transitioning to the paleo diet, an eating plan based on what humans ate during the Paleolithic Era - fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, and seeds, but no grains, legumes, or most dairy.
When she was postpartum a few years later, she struggled with more health issues including daily bloating, stubborn weight that wouldn’t shift despite breastfeeding, and low energy.
