"We Have a Toxicity Problem" - Dr. Bloomquist's Rebel Story

"WE HAVE A TOXICITY PROBLEM" Eczema. Gut issues. Food sensitivities. Infertility. Parents are often told these are random, genetic, or that their child will simply "grow out of it." But what if that's not true? In this episode of Rebels With a Root Cause, Deidre Bloomquist, functional nutritionist and environmental toxin expert, shares the story that transformed her career: her infant son developing full-body eczema despite a "perfect" pregnancy, home birth, breastfeeding, and a healthy lifestyle. After being told steroids were the only option and that there was "no cure," Deidre ran functional testing herself. What she discovered was shocking: severe gut inflammation, pathogen overgrowth, and inherited toxin burden passed down from her own lifetime of exposures. This conversation exposes the hidden epidemic of environmental toxicity affecting children today — from mold and heavy metals to radioactive substances in water — and explains why skin conditions are often just the tip of the iceberg. If your child is struggling, this episode will change how you see modern illness — and what's actually possible.   What You'll Learn: ✅ Why Eczema is Rarely Just a Skin Issue ✅ The Hidden Toxins Babies Inherit Before Birth ✅ Why Topical Steroids Don't Fix the Root Cause ✅ How Toxin Burden Impacts Fertility and Miscarriage ✅ The Connection between Heavy Metals, Fungus, and Gut Inflammation ✅ Why Radioactive Substances are in Tap Water (and what that means) ✅ The 3 Pillars Every Family Must Focus on to Reduce Toxicity ✅ How to Build Resilient Kids in a Toxic World   In This Episode: (0:00) – Introduction: Dr. Bloomquist, Functional Nutritionist & Toxin Specialist (0:38) – Her Son's Eczema Journey & What Doctors Got Wrong (3:49) – The Hidden Dangers of Topical Steroids (4:49) – Functional Testing Revealed What Doctors Missed (6:44) – The Protocol That Cleared His Eczema in One Month (7:47) – How Toxins Are Passed From Parents to Children (11:57) – 95% Success Rate: Helping Kids Clear Eczema Naturally (14:12) – Why Biologics & Steroids Keep Failing Kids (19:24) – Radioactive Substances in Tap Water Nobody's Talking About (23:51) – 3 Simple Pillars to Detox Your Family Starting Today (26:00) – Where to Find Dr. Bloomquist   DEIDRE BLOOMQUIST: 📖 Toxic Infertility: Detoxification Solutions to Improve Natural Fertility — Bestselling Author 🌐 always-growing.com | deidrebloomquist.com 📱 Instagram: @alwaysgrowing_littles 🏥 Functional Nutritionist, Speaker & Founder of Always Growing Wellness 🎯 Specialties: Pediatric Eczema, Gut Health, Environmental Toxins, Heavy Metals, Mold Toxicity, Fertility & Preconception Detoxification, Inherited Toxin Burden
