If you’re a parent watching your child struggle with scratching, bleeding, or sleepless nights from eczema, this episode is for you. In Episode 21 of Live with The Eczema Doc, Dr. Fong, a naturopathic doctor specializing in eczema, is joined by Cleanbody Practitioner and eczema expert Tori Taggart, MS, CNS. Together, they share ten of the most powerful lifestyle and nutrition tips they use with patients to help calm eczema naturally—often before medications or supplements are needed.

This episode also covers hydration, daily bowel movements, toxin reduction, gentle topicals, clean water, clean air, and the simple routines that help kids sleep better and itch less. These steps are where healing begins for both kids and adults. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why journaling is step one—and exactly what to track • How processed snacks fuel inflammation and flares • What a true gut-healing, rainbow-rich plate looks like • How to use urine color to monitor hydration • Why daily movement and outdoor play support detoxification • How sleep, nervous system calm, and routine affect itch • When to avoid certain oils that worsen fungal/yeast-driven eczema • How toxins from plastics, fragrances, and cleaners impact the skin • The importance of clean water for drinking and bathing • Why indoor air quality matters for sensitive skin Want to explore the research behind these insights?
