About this webinar
The integumentary system is a metabolically active organ influenced by inflammation, nutrient availability, metabolic health, and environmental exposure, yet related concerns are often addressed primarily through topical care alone. In this session, Cassie I. Story, RDN, takes an inside-out approach to examining how diet and lifestyle factors influence tissue integrity, barrier function, and long-term adaptive capacity. Clinicians will gain evidence‑informed insight into dietary patterns and targeted nutrition strategies that support tone, protection from environmental stressors, hydration, repair processes, and elasticity, and clarify when targeted nutrition approaches may be considered as part of comprehensive patient care.
Key takeaways
- Explore the role of diet and lifestyle factors in supporting barrier integrity, hydration, and repair processes.
- Examine common internal and environmental factors that influence barrier disruption and reactive skin concerns.
- Review evidence‑informed nutrition strategies that may support barrier health within clinical practice.
