Hi Team,
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Barbara Paldus—a Stanford Ph.D., biotech engineer, clean beauty pioneer, and fellow eczema mom—to dive deep into the skin-brain-gut connection and how to truly support eczema-prone skin from the inside out.
Barbara founded Codex Labs and Decode.Me, creating science-backed, skin solutions that have earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance™ and have been featured in Vogue, Allure, and more. Through her personal experience with her son’s eczema, she’s developed powerful, integrative skincare and gut health solutions that help families navigate this journey holistically.
We cover: ✅ What’s really happening in the body when a child develops eczema ✅ The connection between leaky gut, leaky skin, and systemic inflammation ✅ How prebiotics, histidine, and probiotics help repair the gut and skin barrier ✅ Why traditional skincare products fail eczema-prone skin ✅ The role of corticosteroids, TSW, and alternative healing approaches
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to heal your child’s eczema, this episode is packed with science-backed, practical solutions to help you take the next step.
