October is Eczema Awareness Month, so we’re bringing in nutritionist and naturopath Ash Yates from the Boob to Food clinic to help you navigate the minefield that is managing childhood eczema. From identifying triggers to finding relief through holistic care, Ash shares her wisdom on what’s really going on with your little one’s skin. Whether you’re dealing with flare-ups, itching, or just looking for a deeper understanding, this episode is for you.

Having always had an interest in health, Ash first began her university studies in nutrition and dietetics. Partway through her dietetics degree a personal experience with natural therapies completely shifted everything she thought she knew about disease and healing, so she switched paths to study naturopathy. Ash has a particular interest in tricky things, stemming from her own early experiences as a mum to a son with kidney disease. She specialises in children with autoimmunity and chronic diseases, failure to thrive, allergies and intolerances, ongoing gastrointestinal issues, and common conditions that seem resistant to treatment, like eczema that just won’t resolve…

In this podcast we discuss

• What is eczema and how common it is
• Some of the potential root causes from a naturopathic perspective
