Do you have toxic skin? If you’re struggling with stubborn eczema that isn’t responding to creams, diets, or even functional medicine protocols — hidden heavy metal toxicity could be the missing piece.

In Episode #16 of Live with the Eczema Doc, Dr. Fong explores how toxic burden from heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum may be silently disrupting your detox pathways, hormones, and immune system — ultimately inflaming your skin.

You’ll learn:

• What “toxic burden” really means (and why your body’s funnel might be clogged)
• The most common sources of heavy metal exposure in daily life (yes, even your cookware, deodorant, and bed sheets!)
• How heavy metals disrupt your endocrine system, trigger oxidative stress, and worsen eczema
• Why sweating, itching, or fatigue during flares might actually be signs of toxic overload
• Which labs and functional medicine tests can reveal hidden toxicity (urine, challenge tests, hair, stool, and more)
• Dr. Fong’s 4-phase Cleanbody Method to safely reduce toxic burden without crashing your system
• Why jumping into a detox too early can worsen eczema and even land you in the ER — and how to do it the right way

✨ Plus: Get practical steps to clean up your home, products, food, and water to start reducing exposure today.
