In this episode, Dr. Diane Fong, ND — The Eczema Doc — and Clean Body practitioner Tori Taggart, MS, CNS, reveal why so many babies and children struggle with eczema and why symptoms often come back even after steroids, antibiotics, or prescription creams. We break down the root causes most pediatricians miss and explain how to start true healing from the inside out.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why conventional eczema treatments don’t create lasting relief
• How birth factors and early microbiome disruption contribute to eczema
• The role of toxins from pregnancy, home products, food, and environment
• What “leaky skin” means and why babies’ skin barriers are naturally weaker
• Early signs to look for — and what they really mean
• The first simple steps parents can take this week to reduce flares
• How journaling, nutrition basics, cleaning products, and nervous system support make a difference
• When testing and targeted protocols become important

If you’ve ever wondered why your child’s eczema isn’t improving — or what else you should be looking for — this episode gives you the clarity and direction to begin root-cause healing.
