In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Andra McHugh, founder of Eczema Kids and host of the Eczema Kids Podcast, to explore how food-as-medicine can transform eczema from a lifelong battle into a healing journey. Andra shares her personal story of navigating her children’s severe eczema and how it led her to uncover the powerful connections between gut health, inflammation, and the skin. Together, we discuss the functional nutrition tools and toxin-free lifestyle strategies that can help families ditch steroids and endless trial-and-error in favor of true, lasting healing.

Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of the root causes of eczema and the hope that with the right foods and daily habits, clear skin is absolutely possible. Whether you’re a parent feeling helpless or a practitioner looking for a functional framework, this conversation offers both the science and the encouragement to heal eczema naturally.
