Dust Mites, Eczema and Allergies: An Overlooked Trigger in KidsThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're diving into one of the most commonly overlooked triggers when it comes to eczema and allergies in children: dust mites.Many families focus heavily on food triggers like dairy or gluten, and while those can absolutely play a role, environmental allergens are often quietly contributing in the background. Because dust mites are present all year round not just seasonally like pollens, they can be harder to identify as a cause of ongoing symptoms.In this episode, we unpack how dust mites may be affecting your child's skin, sinuses, and respiratory system and why simply changing diet may not be enough if environmental exposure hasn't been addressed.In this episode, we explore:The signs that dust mites may be contributing to eczema and allergy symptoms especially when symptoms flare overnight or in the morningWhy dust mites can trigger skin, sinus, and respiratory issues year-roundPractical, manageable steps you can take at home to reduce exposureWhy dust mites aren't the root cause (only a trigger) and how immune regulation, gut health, and skin barrier function play a bigger role in long-term improvement
High cholesterol in menopause and perimenopause is shockingly common, and many women feel blindsided by sudden spikes in cholesterol, blood pressure, or even blood sugar in their 40s.

She brings deep expertise in personalized medicine and longevity science to help you understand what's happening and how to support your healthspan for the long run.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

#199 - Healing Eczema from the Inside Out: Toxins, Steroid Withdrawal & the Identity Shift That Changes Everything with Kat Vong If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt betrayed by your own skin… If you've been told “it's just genetic” or “here's another prescription”… If you're quietly wondering whether something deeper is going on— Stop scrolling. This episode is the one you've been waiting for. Today I'm joined by my friend Kat Vong—host of the Well Done podcast and founder-in-the-making of a clean beauty brand for women with chronic skin struggles. Kat's story is raw, emotional, and wildly empowering. After years of battling off-and-on eczema that left her in physical pain and emotional exhaustion, Kat's body erupted in severe eczema just three weeks before her wedding. We're talking weeping wounds. Steroid injections. Oral steroids. Topicals on repeat. And that was just the beginning. What unfolded over the next several years included topical steroid withdrawal, toxic overload, leaky gut, postpartum depression, a NICU stay with twins at UCLA—and ultimately, a complete identity shift that changed everything. This conversation is about more than eczema. It's about the skin–gut–toxin connection. It's about stress, identity, and the nervous system. It's about what happens when you decide to heal—and cut off every other option. The best news - whether it's your skin or something else, healing.is.possible. In This Episode, We Cover: Heavy metals, phthalates, parabens—and how toxic burden shows up in your skin Leaky gut and why “everything” can suddenly become a trigger Why detox can initially make flares worse The missing piece in chronic healing: identity and mindset The hidden dangers of long-term topical steroid use What topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) actually looks like The beauty industry's blind spots—and what needs to change Practical skin barrier repair from the inside out How meditation rewires your biology (yes, really) Timestamps 00:00 – Meet Kat: severe eczema, beauty industry insider, and the wedding-week flare from hell 02:00 – Three types of steroids in three weeks (and why that mattered later) 03:30 – When the flares came back worse than before 05:00 – Discovering topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and sleeping on towels 08:00 – The functional testing that changed everything: toxins, gut, inflammation 09:30 – Heavy metals, parabens, phthalates, mold—and why her practitioner was shocked 11:00 – Leaky gut, gluten markers, and the “everything is a trigger” phase 12:00 – Detox + TSW: when healing looks worse before it gets better 13:30 – Pregnancy, temporary glowing skin, and the devastating steroid shot before delivery 15:00 – NICU, postpartum depression, and the emotional toll of skin disease 18:30 – The surprising non-food trigger most people ignore: toxic burden 20:00 – Stress as gasoline on the inflammatory fire 21:30 – “You can't drain the bathtub if the faucet's still running.” 22:30 – Identity work: “I am someone who has eczema” vs. “I am someone who heals.” 26:00 – The meditations that changed her brain (inspired by Joe Dispenza and his books Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and You Are the Placebo) 29:00 – The desperation loop that keeps people stuck 30:00 – Decide vs. choose: cutting off every other option 31:30 – Skin barrier repair explained simply (bricks + mortar analogy) 34:00 – Makeup, shame, leadership, and not feeling “enough” in the beauty industry 37:00 – Beauty, identity, and self-worth beyond appearance 39:00 – If you feel stuck, here's what you need to hear 41:00 – Turning pain into purpose 42:00 – Kat's upcoming clean beauty brand for chronic skin conditions Let's Talk Root Causes What struck me most in this conversation? It wasn't just the heavy metals or the leaky gut (although yes, those matter). It was this: You cannot heal in the same identity that created the illness. I've seen this over and over in clinical practice. We can remove inflammatory foods. We can support detox pathways. We can rebuild the gut lining. But if someone still believes, deep down, “This is just who I am”… the body listens. Kat didn't just detox her liver. She detoxed her identity. And that's where the shift happened. If You're Struggling with Chronic Condition Right Now… Here's your gentle but firm nudge: Get proper testing. Guessing is exhausting. Reduce inflammation first (you can't drain a bathtub with the faucet running). Support detox pathways before aggressive detox. Repair the gut lining. Regulate the nervous system daily. Decide that healing is happening—even if your eyes haven't caught up yet. Your body is not broken. It's communicating. And as someone who has walked countless women through chronic conditions, autoimmunity, skin flares—I can tell you: when we address toxins, gut integrity, stress, and identity together… things change.

And honestly? It's about time. If this episode resonated, send it to the friend who keeps saying, “It's just my hormones,” or “I guess I just have sensitive skin.” Sometimes it's not just sensitive skin. Sometimes it's your body asking for a new story. And that story? It can end very differently than it began. ✨Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!
In this Skin Series episode, we chat with Madeleine Edwards about the deeply personal and often messy reality of living with acne and eczema, from school, through motherhood and into your twenties. We get raw about the emotional impact these skin challenges bring: the confidence struggles, the relentless trial and error, the shame and the perseverance that comes with trying everything. Madeleine shares her honest experience the hard days, the hopeful days, the lessons learned, and what it's really like to navigate skin issues while juggling life, identity and growth. This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, overwhelmed, or worn out by the healing process and wants to know they're truly not alone.Thankyou for listening, don't forget to share with your besties & tag us in your stories.

Hosts: Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC & Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT 01:37 Patient Case Study: Phantom Limb Pain 09:13 Understanding Liver Health and Detoxification 17:48 Addressing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease 29:51 Treating TMJ with FSM 34:17 Understanding Trigger Points and TMJ 37:01 Exploring Eczema and Its Causes 40:27 Post-ACL Reconstruction and Rehabilitation 49:19 Addressing Dementia and Its Potential Causes 55:28 Innovations in Surgical Solutions for Arthritis 57:11 Conclusion and Final Thoughts In the realm of medical practice, understanding various pain management and treatment techniques is essential, especially for medical professionals dealing with complex conditions. This guide delves into methods for treating various kinds of pain, nerve issues, and conditions such as liver toxicity, TMJ, and osteoporosis, as well as discussing new insights into dementia related to sensory loss. **Managing Phantom Limb Pain** Phantom limb pain can occur when nerves are damaged, leading to sensations in a limb that is no longer present. A case in point is the experience of nerve damage in the big toe, where the perceived pain resembles that of a phantom limb. Identifying and running specific treatment protocols such as 40/89 can be effective in alleviating such pain. **Understanding Trigger Points** Trigger points in muscles like the upper trapezius are often symptoms rather than causes of pain. They might originate from other underlying issues such as rotator cuff injuries. Treatment should focus on repairing associated injuries and reducing muscle tension through methods like running specific protocols tailored to nerve and muscle conditions. **Liver Health and Detoxification** The liver plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body, and certain conditions like cirrhosis require targeted treatment. Managing liver health may involve treating for toxicity, anesthesia, and providing support through supplements like lipoic acid and milk thistle. Protocols for conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver focus on dietary management, particularly the reduction of carbohydrate intake. **Restoring Muscle and Joint Function** In treating joint issues such as TMJ, understanding the biomechanical contributions is vital. A detailed approach involves treating torn or broken ligaments and connective tissues. For post-surgical recovery, such as ACL reconstruction, encouraging the appropriate exercises without further straining repaired tendons is key. Coordinated movement must be restored cautiously to ensure proper healing. **Dealing with Eczema and Immune System Responses** Eczema can often be linked to immune responses and is treated by addressing histamine levels and inflammation. It's often associated with other conditions such as MCAS, and a multi-pronged treatment approach that targets the immune system, skin, and gut health is often beneficial. **Dementia and Sensory Loss** The loss of olfactory senses (smell) can be a predictor of dementia. Understanding the relationship between sensory loss and cognitive decline is critical in early intervention. Questions regarding vaccination effects, particularly related to COVID-19, should be explored as they might impact the onset or progression of symptoms. Pain management and treatment are multifaceted, requiring a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and neurological factors involved. By addressing underlying causes of symptoms like phantom limb pain, improving liver function, and adopting holistic approaches to conditions like eczema and dementia, medical professionals can enhance treatment outcomes. Understanding these dynamics can empower healthcare providers to offer more effective interventions for various complex conditions.

Eczema and Allergies in Kids: Why Reactions Keep HappeningThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're continuing our eczema and allergies series with a deeply grounding episode that brings everything we've been discussing into real life.Instead of theory or quick fixes, this conversation walks through three real stories of children with eczema and allergies — each with a very different picture, but a shared theme: symptoms weren't the full story. These families had tried creams, antihistamines, food elimination, and constant management, yet still felt stuck and overwhelmed.We also share how looking beyond symptoms and into gut health, immune regulation, and individual drivers helped shift the picture in meaningful, lasting ways without extreme restriction or fear-based approaches.In this episode, we explore:Why children with eczema and allergies can look completely different on the surface, yet share common patterns of immune dysregulationHow histamine intolerance, gut microbiome imbalance, and reduced immune tolerance can quietly drive ongoing flare-upsWhy removing trigger foods or allergens alone is often not enough and how repeated food elimination can sometimes increase reactivity over timeWhat changes when the question shifts from “What is my child reacting to?” to “Why is their immune system reacting this way?”
In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes back her favorite compounding pharmacist, Ray Solano of PD Labs. Together, they pull back the curtain on the skincare industry, revealing why a high price tag doesn't always equal high quality. Ray introduces his new Skin Lasting line—pharmacist-designed formulations that prioritize stable, bioavailable ingredients like Vitamin C, glutathione palmitate, and GHK copper peptides over fancy packaging. The conversation also tackles the "Super Bowl of Sugar" and its impact on internal health, which invariably reflects on the skin. Beyond aesthetics, Dr. Pinkston and Ray discuss the critical role of compounding pharmacies in making healthcare affordable and customized. From natural thyroid solutions to tailored GLP-1 weight loss dosages, learn how personalized medicine can save you money and reduce side effects by giving you exactly what your body needs. Key Takeaways from the Show Inside-Out Health: Your skin is a window into your gut health; issues like eczema or psoriasis are often internal signals. The "Skin Lasting" Line: Ray explains the science behind his new serums, including the C+ Serum for daily defense and Lift Up for collagen production. The Compounding Advantage: Why "one size fits all" dosages in pharmaceutical medicine often fail patients and how customization can improve outcomes. Affordability: Discover how compounding pharmacies can offer significant savings on medications like natural thyroid and peptides. Special Offer: Listeners can get $25 off their prescription at PD Labs by mentioning Better Life TV or Dr. Pinkston. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Food Elimination Diets for Kids: When They Help and When They Make Eczema WorseWhen your child's eczema or allergies flare, it's natural to start scanning the plate. Dairy goes first. Then gluten. Then eggs. Then anything that feels even remotely suspicious. And yet… the flare-ups keep coming.This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're continuing our Eczema and Allergies Series by taking a closer look at food elimination — not from a place of blame, but from a place of understanding. We explore why cutting more and more foods can sometimes leave families feeling stuck, stressed, and confused, and why food isn't always the real issue driving ongoing reactions.In this episode, we unpack:• Why food elimination feels like the most logical first step when eczema or allergies show up and why it often becomes unsustainable. • How repeated restriction can quietly impact gut health, nutrient intake, and immune balance over time. • The difference between avoiding a true allergy and navigating food sensitivities with a longer-term plan. • What to focus on instead when your goal is calmer skin, fewer reactions, and a more resilient immune system.

If you're trying to figure out how to stop tinnitus — that persistent ringing in your ears that interferes with sleep and focus — this episode is for you. Tinnitus affects over 10% of the U.S. population and is often misunderstood as a minor issue, when it can actually be an early warning sign of hearing loss, deeper nervous system imbalances, dementia as well as kidney and cardiovascular problems.My guest, Dr. Ben Thompson, AuD, is an audiologist and founder of Treble Health, a telehealth company specializing in tinnitus and hearing loss care. With a strong background in evidence-based therapies and a passion for education, Dr. Ben shares what really causes tinnitus, how it connects to brain health, and the proven strategies that can help you finally find relief.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

For primary care providers, seeing a patient presenting with atopic dermatitis (eczema) is common, yet misconceptions persist regarding its underlying cause and optimal management. This episode tackles the critical clinical dilemma: when and how should specific IgE testing for food and environmental allergens shape routine eczema care? Key topics include the evolution of pathophysiology—shifting focus from allergy-driven disease to barrier dysfunction and type 2 inflammation—plus risk stratification, differential diagnosis, the role and interpretation of specific IgE tests, evidence-based guideline updates, environmental and food allergen impacts, targeted therapeutics, and practical patient counseling. Special attention is given to environmental triggers such as dust mites and pet dander and structured elimination diets. Clinicians will gain actionable insights on refining diagnostic workups, individualizing treatment plans, and supporting long-term disease control in pediatric and adult eczema populations.

Why Managing Symptoms Isn't Enough for Kids With Eczema and AllergiesThis week on the podcast, we're continuing our eczema and allergies series with topic two and it's a juicy one! This time, we're talking about something so many parents feel in their bones but don't always have the words for: when it comes to eczema and allergies, why does it feel like we're constantly managing symptoms… but rarely getting real answers?
Sleep plays a critical role in managing allergies, asthma, and eczema, yet it is often overlooked in conversations about allergic disease. Sleep affects mood, focus, immune function, and inflammation, all of which influence how allergic conditions show up day to day. Poor sleep can worsen asthma symptoms, increase allergy flares, and make eczema harder to control. At the same time, allergies and asthma can disrupt sleep, creating a cycle that is difficult to break. Dr. Carol Yuan-Duclair, a sleep specialist, joins us to explore how sleep impacts allergic conditions and overall health. She breaks down what good sleep actually looks like, how to know if you are getting enough rest, and how sleep quality can directly affect allergies, asthma, and eczema. This conversation focuses on practical guidance for patients and families, including environmental changes, medication considerations, and when it may be time to seek help from a sleep specialist. What we cover in this episode about sleep and allergic disease Why sleep is essential for health and immune function: How sleep affects inflammation, mood, and overall health, and why poor sleep can worsen allergic disease. What good quality sleep actually looks like: The difference between sleep quality and sleep quantity, and how to tell if your sleep is truly restorative. The two-way relationship between sleep and allergies: How allergies can disrupt sleep, and how poor sleep can worsen allergy symptoms, creating a difficult cycle. Practical ways to improve sleep when you have allergies: Sleep hygiene basics, exercise timing, and creating a healthier bedroom environment. When medications or symptoms mean it is time to see a specialist: How allergy medications can affect sleep, how eczema fits into the picture, and when ongoing sleep issues may signal the need for a sleep specialist.

A University of Nottingham study with 438 participants found that daily and weekly bathing were equally effective in managing eczema symptoms, quality of life, and treatment needs over four weeks The research reveals bathing frequency matters less than post-bath skincare. Both groups improved similarly when following up with moisturizers, giving patients flexibility to choose routines that suit their lifestyles without worsening symptoms Weekly bathers used topical steroid creams slightly less frequently than daily bathers, suggesting less frequent bathing may reduce medication dependency while maintaining skin stability when combined with proper moisturizing habits For optimal eczema management, use lukewarm water with gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, pat skin dry, and immediately apply moisturizer while skin remains damp to lock in moisture and strengthen the protective barrier Natural remedies like baking soda, colloidal oatmeal, and Dead Sea salt added to baths provide anti-inflammatory benefits and can help soothe itching, reduce redness, and improve skin hydration when used appropriately
