The Real Reason Your Child Has Eczema (It's Not a Skin Problem)

About this episode

The episode discusses the connection between gut health and skin conditions in children, particularly eczema.

Joy McCarthy joins Dr. Murray and Bryce Wylde to break down what's actually happening when a child develops eczema, cradle cap, or chronic skin conditions. We cover how the gut microbiome directly controls skin health, why topical treatments fail to address root causes, what "gentle" and "natural" baby product labels are hiding, and how what a mother puts on her skin during pregnancy affects her unborn child.
