    Ep. 21: Top 10 Game-Changing Tips to Heal Your Child’s Eczema Naturally

    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. Instead of starting with creams or pills, Dr. Fong and Tori walk you through the foundational steps that create real change. You’ll learn how to keep an effective eczema journal to track food, skin photos, bowel movements, mood, and flares so you can finally see patterns. You’ll also uncover how processed “kid foods,” sugary drinks, and constant snacking quietly fuel gut inflammation—and how to rebuild the skin from the inside out with rainbow-colored, fiber-rich, gut-healing meals. 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?

    Ep. 19: Is Fungus Fueling Your Eczema? Malassezia, Candida, Mold, Tests & Topicals

    Is your “eczema” actually being driven by fungus? In this episode, Dr. Fong and Cleanbody practitioner and expert, Tori Taggart, MS, CNS, LDN, unpack the three fungal drivers they see most in clinic—Malassezia on skin, Candida in the gut, and environmental mold—and how they overlap to create relentless flares. You’ll learn how to spot “yeast mapping,” which oils calm vs. feed Malassezia, when to test (stool, OAT, IgE/IgG, mycotoxins, skin scrapings), and smart anti-fungal nutrition swaps that don’t wreck your microbiome. What you’ll learn Skin signs that hint “this is yeast,” not just dermatitisWhy certain oils & butters (olive, jojoba, shea, cocoa, etc.) can feed Malassezia—and safer options (MCT C8–C10, squalane)How Candida overgrowth (post-antibiotics, stress, sugar) drives leaky gut → immune flares on skinMold 101: where it hides (bath, HVAC, basements), who’s more sensitive, and simple at-home screening before you hire a proTesting map: when to pair stool + OAT, consider serum IgE, and environmental checksFood as medicine: anti-fungal choices (garlic, herbs, fiber, non-starchy veg) and what to pause short-term (sugars, juices/dried fruit, alcohol, kombucha/yeasty ferments)Topicals that align with a fungal plan: kill & replenish (gentle antimicrobials + probiotic skin support)🧪 Ready for a tailored plan?
