About this episode

In this episode, Andra McHugh discusses with Dr. Rob Silverman how a child's immune system needs balance rather than boosting to address eczema.

What if the real problem with your child’s eczema isn’t a weak immune system, but one that’s working too hard in the wrong direction? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rob Silverman, a chiropractor who’s spent years working at the intersection of functional medicine, inflammation, and chronic disease. We dig into why eczema is almost never actually a skin condition, how the gut and nervous system are constantly communicating with each other, why food sensitivities can hide inflammation for days before it shows up, and some simple, doable shifts you can start making in your own kitchen tonight. Your child’s immune system doesn’t need boosting. It needs balance, and once you understand the difference, everything about how you approach healing starts to shift. WANT TO GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE?
