Healing Eczema from the Inside Out: Addressing Root Causes Naturally

In this episode of the Truly Healthy MD Podcast, host Dr. Monica Jauregui sits down with Andra McHugh, a natural health advocate who transitioned from the dental industry into holistic healing after her own daughters suffered from severe eczema. Together, they reframe eczema from being a surface-level skin condition to a sign of deeper internal imbalance involving the gut, liver, lymphatic system, and toxic load. Andra shares why conventional treatments often fall short and offers a root-cause approach focused on detoxification, nutrition, and nervous system regulation. Listeners will learn practical, natural strategies to calm flares, support healing from within, and regain hope that eczema is not only manageable—but reversible. Dr. Monica Jauregui talks with Andra McHugh about healing eczema naturally by addressing gut health, detox pathways, and environmental triggers on the Truly Healthy MD Podcast. I had the pleasure of speaking with Andra McHugh about why eczema is not a surface problem—and why lasting healing requires looking deeper. We discuss how gut dysfunction, toxic overload, and impaired detox pathways drive chronic inflammation, and why suppressing symptoms with steroids often delays true recovery. Andra shares practical tools for managing flares naturally, including nourishing skin with tallow-based creams, herbal-infused oils, and Epsom salt baths. We also explore hidden triggers like mold, EMFs, and household toxins, along with immediate action steps families can take to reduce inflammation and support healing. This episode offers both hope and a clear roadmap for those navigating eczema naturally. Andra McHugh is a natural health advocate who helps families reverse eczema using holistic, root-cause approaches. After leaving the dental industry, she dedicated her work to healing chronic skin conditions naturally following her daughters’ severe eczema journeys. Her work emphasizes gut healing, detoxification, environmental awareness, and nourishing the body from the inside out.

Shockwave or Laser Therapy: Which Breakthrough Could Help You Heal?

In this episode of the Truly Healthy MD Podcast, host Dr. Monica Jauregui sits down with Dr. Alan Shih to explore two cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment modalities: shockwave and laser therapy. Dr. Shih explains how shockwave therapy, originally developed to break up kidney stones, has been adapted for musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis—and even shows promise in heart health research. Dr. Jauregui shares her fascination with how a technology once used in urology is now helping patients with foot pain and neuropathy. The conversation then shifts from sound to light energy as Dr. Shih discusses laser therapy. From treating toenail fungus without liver-damaging oral medications to stimulating nerve repair and boosting cellular energy, laser therapy is giving patients new options for neuropathy, numbness, and tingling. Dr. Shih also introduces his practice, Head to Toe, where he and his wife, an optometrist specializing in dry eye, combine specialties to provide unique, integrated care for patients whose conditions may affect both their eyes and feet. ---- Sound and light are transforming modern medicine.
