Moore:Some of the things that trigger me trigger a lot of people with eczema, like stress.
I noticed that making slight dietary changes in my life have also been helpful.
I understand that for me, my eczema really starts to flare up seasonally.
We know that fragrances and colors in products are huge triggers.
Things that you could do at home are not-too-long, not-too-hot showers or baths.
Counterintuitively, water immersion and really hot water strips that barrier.
EatingWell:Could you talk more about your partnership with Moments of Clarity and why youre supporting the cause?
Im excited to continue to get the word out.
EatingWell:What does your morning routine look like?
I normally like to drink a big glass of water before I have coffeethats my one big vice.
I dream about coffee before I go to bed.
Just jumping up, having some water, making the coffee, starting to get breakfast ready.
Thats something thats really important to me.
EatingWell:Do you have any favorite snacks you always have on hand for both you and your kids?
Moore:Im in string cheese land.
I liked string cheese before, but I feel like my world just exists around string cheese now!
Yogurts, kefir, I love sauerkraut, kimchi.
When I eat fermented foods I notice the difference it makes for my skin and gut health.
My oldest loves yogurt, he wants to have yogurt all the time.
EatingWell:Any family-favorite meals you especially love during the colder months?
Moore:Im excited to get into some fall stews and soups.
Im excited to bring him into our world, too.
This is my favorite time of year; I love the holidays.
EatingWell:What does eating well mean to you?
Moore:I think eating well is a constantly moving target.
I think on any given day, its going to have a different definition.
I think having that room for yourself to have that ever-changing definition of what it means.
