075: The Real Root Cause of Eczema in Children: A Deep Dive with Deidre Bloomquist
My oldest struggled with eczema from time to time, but when our house presented us with a toxic mold issue, he really flared up.
It was the worst we’d ever seen, and after 3 weeks of completely ditching gluten, dairy, and sugar (by his own choice and motivation), nothing had changed. It was heartbreaking!
I can only imagine how tough it is for parents of toddlers with eczema who can’t even communicate their pain.
My guest today digs DEEP into eczema and all the potential root causes, the importance of testing, and the wide variety of pathways to healing individual children might need.
She says a lot of parents do research and get really really close to the answer their kids needs…and then get stuck. That’s where she comes in.
Here is just a tiny preview of what we’ll touch on:
- “Parasites overgrow in the body when there is a toxic burden!”
- “Bowel movements are the primary elimination pathway in the body.”
- “If kids are not having a bowel movement daily, figure out WHY that’s happening!”
- “Mold impacts the way the brain functions and communicates with the GI tract.”
- “Elimination depends on pooping, liver function, kidney function.”
- “If kids have skin issues, it’s typically a sign that there’s a liver stagnation issue - like the body is pulling the emergency brake.”
If your little darlings are struggling with eczema or other skin issues, or you know someone who needs this podcast, don’t hesitate to hit play or pass it on!
