Let’s talk about what no one tells you about steroid creams — and what your child’s skin might really be asking for instead.
This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our eczema series by exploring the role of steroid creams in eczema treatment. If your child has been prescribed steroid creams and you’re wondering if they’re the only way forward — this episode is a must-listen.
We’re not here to create fear or guilt — just to bring clarity and help you make more informed decisions. Because when we understand how steroid creams work (and their limitations), we can take empowered steps toward long-term skin health that actually last.
Here’s what we cover:
- Why steroid creams are a short-term tool, not a long-term solution — and what they aren’t doing for your child’s skin.
- The risks of relying on steroid creams too often or for too long, including skin thinning, increased sensitivity, and Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW).
- How to start reducing steroid cream use safely while addressing the underlying causes of eczema.
- Practical, nourishing alternatives that support your child’s skin barrier and immune health from the inside out.
🎧 Tune in to feel more informed and confident as you navigate eczema with a more holistic lens. We’re here to help you move beyond the endless cycle of flare-ups and creams — and guide you toward sustainable, naturopathic support that works for your family.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
