You've tried everything. You've spent the money. Now it's time to stop guessing—and finally start healing for good. Maybe you've been to the craniosacral chiropractor. Worked with the holistic nutritionist. Bought the herbal creams. Cleaned up the diet. Or maybe you've gone the conventional route—used steroid creams once… or for years—because it felt like the only option. Either way, your child is still itchy. Still flaring. And you're still stuck, exhausted, and wondering what you're missing. In this episode, we talk about what happens when “trying everything” still isn't enough—and why the answer isn't doing more, it's doing the right things, in the right order, with the right mindset. This is the missing piece. The shift that actually moves the needle. Ready to become the mom who actually knows what to do? Go to eczemakids.com and choose your path: DIY or Transform. Let's rebuild your child's health—and your confidence—starting now.
If your child's eczema is still flaring despite all your hard work—diet changes, detoxing your home, healing baths, supportive skincare—this is the episode you've been waiting for. I'm joined by gut health expert and host of The Perfect Stool podcast, Lindsey Parsons, EdD. Together, we're diving into the real reasons eczema lingers: gut dysbiosis, candida overgrowth, nutrient deficiencies, and pathogens that just don't show up unless you test for them. We break down the pros and cons of stool testing, organic acid tests, and what to do when you suspect something deeper is sabotaging your child's skin. Whether you're just getting started or have been on the healing path for months, this episode will give you the clarity you need to know when it's time to test and how to do it strategically.

Feeding your family when you're navigating eczema, food sensitivities, or flares can feel like you're constantly walking a tightrope—exhausting, thankless, and impossible to get “just right.” But what if healing didn't have to feel so heavy? In today's episode, I'm joined by Lucy Hutchings, RD—registered dietitian, homeschooling mom of three, and host of The Healthy Mama Podcast. Lucy shares how to drop the all-or-nothing mindset, feed your family real food with real joy, and make healing sustainable without losing your sanity. We talk about simplifying meals, raising empowered eaters, and creating a calm, connected table even when dietary restrictions are in play. If you're in that messy middle—trying to nourish your child, hold your family together, and not burn out in the process—this one's for you.

You've cleaned up the food. Swapped the jammies. Tossed the junk. And your child is still flaring. I've been there. And lately, I've been back in that bracing-for-impact headspace—financial stress, family tension, the kind of noise that hums in the background and wears you down. My body feels it. My kids feel it too. In this third part of our Eczema Trigger Series, we're talking about the piece no one talks about enough: the nervous system. Because it's not always the food or the soap or the detergent—it's the internal terrain. When our kids lose their resilience, even small triggers feel huge. And when their nervous system is stuck in high alert, their skin flares no matter what we do on the surface. In this episode, I'm walking you through what that really looks like—and what we can do about it. We're not here to manage eczema. We're here to reverse it.

Hey Team, I know how frustrating it is when you're doing everything “right”—you've cut out gluten, dairy, eggs, and still your child's skin is flaring. It feels like food is the enemy. But in this episode, I want to shift that belief. Because your child doesn't have eczema because of a slice of bread or a bite of scrambled egg. The real issue is a leaky gut, sluggish detox pathways, and an overwhelmed immune system that's responding to everything—especially food. I'm walking you through the real reason your child is reacting, what the IgG antibody half-life has to do with mysterious delayed flares, and the food “triggers” I recommend ditching during this critical gut-healing window. This is not about fear. It's about understanding. And once you do, you can start making decisions that actually move the needle toward healing. And I've got tools to help with that: You can grab the Skin Comfort Trio for soothing, organic skin relief at eczemakids.com, plus our Prebiotic Tea to support the gut gently from the inside out. And if you're stuck on what to feed your kid that's actually eczema-safe and edible, download my free guide: 7 Eczema-Friendly Meals Your Kids Will Actually Eat. Let's stop fearing food and start healing the system! Take Care, Andra
Ever feel like you're doing everything right—but your kid's eczema just won't quit? You're not alone. You're ditching the dairy, swapping the pajamas, buying the expensive snacks... and still seeing red. Literally. We're kicking off a brand new miniseries on hidden eczema triggers that are powerful and often completely overlooked. From the bath toy bin to the laundry room, we're pulling back the curtain on the everyday exposures that throw your child's gut, liver, and immune system into constant firefighting mode. Plus, I'll share my favorite toxin-free alternatives for every room in your house—from skincare to cleaning to food storage. No overwhelm. Just real tools that make a real difference.
If you're ready to finally get to the root of your child's eczema, constipation, or endless picky eating—this episode is your playbook. I'm joined by Madeline Lauf, founder and CEO of Begin Health, to give you clear, actionable steps to start healing your child's gut microbiome today. From food choices to formulas, from poop patterns to probiotics—we're breaking down exactly what's messing with your kid's gut and what you can actually do about it. We dig into: Why gut health is the place to start when dealing with chronic conditions like eczema How birth method, feeding choices, and antibiotics impact your baby's gut The role of bifidobacteria, prebiotics, and HMOs (human milk oligosaccharides) in healing What to look for in infant formulas and gut-supportive foods Why tallow cream belongs in your gut-healing toolkit The gut-friendly way out of constipation (no more long-term Miralax!) How to shift your child's cravings away from sugar and toward real, healing food The power of your child's stool as a “gut health report card” How to start gut-healing routines that actually stick — even for picky toddlers This is your step-by-step on how to stop guessing and start rebuilding your child's gut and skin health from the inside out.

If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and carrying guilt over your child's eczema, you're not alone. But here's what no one tells you—your stress is keeping them stuck. We share a nervous system with our kids, which means our anxiety, frustration, and worry can actually slow their healing. That's why I'm talking with Sweta Khanal, a clinical EFT practitioner, about how tapping (EFT) can help you release stress, calm your nervous system, and create the conditions for true healing. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ What EFT tapping is & how it helps with stress and guilt ✔️ How your nervous system affects your child's healing ✔️ A simple tapping exercise you can start today And if you're stressed about skincare, The Eczema Shop has you covered with organic, preservative-free products designed to rebuild the skin barrier and nourish the microbiome.
Hi Team, In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Barbara Paldus—a Stanford Ph.D., biotech engineer, clean beauty pioneer, and fellow eczema mom—to dive deep into the skin-brain-gut connection and how to truly support eczema-prone skin from the inside out. Barbara founded Codex Labs and Decode.Me, creating science-backed, skin solutions that have earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance™ and have been featured in Vogue, Allure, and more.
