144. How Eczema Medications Affect the Gut & Skin Microbiome


Listen Later

If you’re taking steroids, immunosuppressants, biologics like Dupixent, or JAK inhibitors for eczema, you may be wondering how these medications impact your gut and skin microbiome.


In this episode, Julia breaks down what the research shows about how different eczema medications affect the immune system, skin barrier, and the gut.


She covers:

  • 4 common drug classes: Steroids, immunosuppressants, biologics, and JAK inhibitors
  • Potential benefits and risks
  • How they may or may not impact the gut & skin microbiome
  • What you can do to support your body while on treatment


This episode is not anti-medication. It’s about understanding how to approach healing in a balanced way by supporting your microbiome, nutrition, and nervous system along with conventional care.


Always consult your physician before making any changes to your medications.
