About this episode

The episode discusses the connection between gut health and eczema in children, supported by over 800 studies.

Joy McCarthy, holistic nutritionist and founder of Joyous Health, Dr. Murray Clarke and Bryce Wylde break down the science behind the gut-skin-brain connection and what it means for your child's long-term health. We cover what 800-plus peer-reviewed studies now confirm about eczema and the gut microbiome, the difference between prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics and why all three matter, what leaky gut actually is and how it triggers skin inflammation, why babies can develop leaky skin from over-washing, and how a leaky blood-brain barrier connects to autism, ADHD, and neurological development in children.
