It's easy to blame yourself when medications like Dupixent, Adbry, or Ebglyss don't work (or work well enough), your doctor says that you've “failed” it and it's time to move on to something else. Very often, no one is asking, "Why wasn't Dupixent able to work in the first place?" which could uncover important clues about your eczema case potentially lurking under the surface.Because YOU didn't fail the drug, and before moving on to something else, this is what you absolutely need to consider.Plus, we'll talk about a little-known warning in the safety information for Dupixent and other IL-13-blocking biologics specifically about parasites. So let's dive into what I've seen in clients prescribed these medications and why what looks like drug failure to their doctor could be an important root cause clue.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references
There is a difference between managing symptoms and actually healing.And most of us were never taught that difference.If you've been managing bloating, anxiety, fatigue, skin flares, hormone dysregulation, constipation, or your child's eczema, reflux, diarrhea, sleep struggles, behavioral outbursts, or discomfort in their body, this episode will help you understand what the body is communicating underneath the symptom.Juniper explains why symptom management asks, “How do I make this stop?” while healing asks, “Why is this happening in the first place?” She also shares why gut health matters so much when we're talking about true healing… because the gut is directly connected to our skin, digestion, elimination, inflammation, food reactions, picky eating, energy, mood, immune function, hormones, sleep, and regulation.If you've been trying to quiet symptoms for yourself or your child, this episode will help you begin listening to the body differently.Thanks for listening!

Many people turn to probiotics hoping they'll improve both their gut health and even their skin. But what if your digestive symptoms (or that skin rash) actually get worse after starting them? In this episode, I explain what a reaction to probiotics means, why it shouldn't just be viewed as "die-off", and what it says about your gut health.We'll also explore the truth about probiotic side effects, why probiotics aren't the right fit for everyone, and how hidden gut imbalances can change the way your body responds. If you've ever wondered whether you should keep taking a probiotic that's making you feel worse, this episode will help you understand what's really going on and what steps to take next.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references
Drs. Newhall and Gupta discuss how biologic therapies are transforming care for patients with multiple allergic diseases—such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, nasal polyps, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis—while also making treatment decisions more complex. They explain how they choose among biologics like dupilumab, omalizumab, IL‑5 blockers, and TSLP inhibitors by focusing on biomarkers, age, comorbidities, and which condition most affects the patient's quality of life.
What if your child's eczema has nothing to do with their skin and everything to do with an organ most doctors say is useless after childhood? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Erika Schultz, a doctor of Chinese medicine and acupuncturist who developed the Resiliency Method after her own decades-long health journey, including unexplained seizures conventional medicine never resolved. We dig into why eczema is so often a thymus gland and spleen insufficiency in disguise, why the exact location of a flare can point to a different root cause, and why testing too early can backfire. If you've done everything right and your kid's skin still isn't healing, this one will connect dots you didn't know were missing. Your child's eczema isn't random. It's your body telling you exactly where it needs support, you just have to know how to listen. Ready To Heal Without Steroids?

If you have a cabinet full of supplements, saved protocols, screenshots from Facebook groups, and a notes app full of symptoms… this episode is for you.And if you're a mom who has tried everything for your child… the creams, the drops, the prescriptions, the probiotics, the food swaps, the routines and still feels like you're missing the bigger picture, this conversation will feel deeply familiar.In this episode, Juniper shares her personal experience of trying to piece together a healing plan for her son after years of symptoms, protocols, practitioners, and late-night searching.This episode is not about shaming the supplements, the searching, or the effort.It's about naming what is often underneath it all: the fear that you might miss the thing that could finally help.You'll learn why random support creates random results, why good pieces don't automatically create a complete plan, and how to begin moving from fragmented healing into connected healing.If you've been trying to heal yourself or your child by piecing things together, this episode will help you pause, breathe, and begin seeing the body through a clearer, more connected lens.Thanks for listening!

Every parent wants to protect their baby — but what if the window to prevent lifelong allergies is smaller than anyone realized? Scientists have discovered that a newborn's immune system doesn't just work differently from an adult's; it's actually wired to overreact in ways that can set the stage for eczema and allergies before you even know it's happening. The culprit? A hormone, missing in babies, that keeps the immune system in check.In this episode, Dr. Shruti Naik reveals what's really going on beneath your baby's skin, and what it could mean for the future of allergy prevention.

Treatment options for eczema have come a long way, with many new non-steroidal choices. One type is the JAK inhibitor, which offers two things people have long wanted: a non-steroidal option and a more advanced option that, unlike a biologic, does not require injection. Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta sit down with returning guest Dr. Nicole Chase, to break down what a JAK inhibitor actually is, how the pill and cream versions differ, how JAK inhibitors compare to biologics, and what to know about safety. They also cover what is new, including a topical JAK now approved for children as young as two. What we cover in this episode about JAK inhibitors for eczema What eczema really is.

Most women don't find gut health because they think there is a gut issue. They find it because they're trying to understand the symptom right in front of them.In this episode, Juniper shares the deeply personal story of trying to understand her son's eczema, reflux, colic, food allergies, mucus-filled stools, behavioral challenges, and speech delays and how she eventually realized these symptoms were not separate problems, but communication connected to the gut.This episode is for the woman or mother who has been chasing symptoms one by one and wondering why nothing has fully made sense yet.You'll learn why the symptom is the doorway, not the whole story, and how gut health is connected to digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, inflammation, skin, mood, cravings, energy, the nervous system, hormones, and how reactive or resilient the body feels.If you've been trying to understand your symptoms, or your child's symptoms, through disconnected answers, this episode will help you begin seeing the pattern underneath it all.

But as this episode reveals, parasites can show up in unexpected ways, including constipation, chronic skin rashes, and symptoms unrelated to digestion.Join me to unpack three common parasite myths that you cannot trust. And believing in them keeps you from healing while distracting you from important clues in your own health journey. You'll learn why you can't trust negative test results, how past travel can be a major clue, and commonly missed parasite signs that many functional practitioners blame on other problems.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Want personalized help to fix your skin (especially if you suspect parasites)?

What do you do when you've experienced years of symptoms and no real answers?In this episode of Follow Your Gut, Juniper shares her deeply personal story of trying to heal her son after years of reflux, eczema, food allergies, mucus-filled stools, allergies, explosive meltdowns, and being dismissed by professional after professional.This episode is for the woman or mother who knows something is off, even when labs look “normal,” even when she's told her child will “grow out of it,” and when every answer she's given feels partial, temporary, or disconnected.You'll learn why symptoms are not your body betraying you, but communication from a body asking for deeper support.

How to Interpret Paediatric Microbiome Testing Correctly (and What Most Parents Aren't Told)This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're talking about one of the biggest issues we are seeing in children's health right now, the misinterpretation of paediatric microbiome testing.With more families turning to gut microbiome testing to understand eczema, allergies, digestive symptoms, immune issues, and overall health, it's becoming increasingly important for parents to understand that children's microbiome results cannot be interpreted the same way as adults'.We share key insights from a recent paediatric microbiome mentoring program with Dr Brad Leech. During this, Dr Brad explained the common mistakes that can lead to unnecessary supplementation, restrictive diets, and incorrect “leaky gut” diagnoses in children, which we wanted to share with you today.In this episode, we explore:Why most microbiome tests for kids use adult reference ranges that may not apply to childrenThe truth about zonulin, secretory IgA, and microbiome diversity scores in kids under 12Why a child's age, diet, breastfeeding history, and immune development matter when interpreting resultsHow the right practitioner and the right testing technology can make a huge difference in getting useful, accurate information
What if food felt like medicine instead of a minefield? Most eczema nutrition advice is built around what you CAN'T eat and it leaves parents defeated, overwhelmed, and unknowingly starving their child of the very nutrients needed to heal. Today we flip the script entirely. We're talking about why IgG testing too early can backfire and have you eliminating broccoli and blueberries on top of dairy and gluten while your child's gut stays inflamed and their skin stays stuck. We go deep on the gut-skin axis, circadian rhythm eating and the 5 best summer foods for eczema-prone kids that are in season and working for your child's healing right now. Walk away with a completely new relationship with food and the simple thing you can do this week that actually moves the needle towards eczema healing.

Why Some Kids With Eczema and Allergies Stay Stuck in a Cycle of Flare-UpsThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're talking about why so many children with eczema and allergies stay stuck in a cycle of flare-ups, food reactions, congestion, poor sleep, and constant symptom management, even after trying creams, elimination diets, supplements, and allergy testing.We share the 3 biggest differences in the Natural Super Kids approach to eczema and allergies, and why looking at the bigger immune picture can make such a difference for long-term results.In this episode, we explore:Why eczema and allergies are often treated as separate problems instead of connected immune system issuesWhat standard allergy testing can miss when it comes to histamine, sensitivities, and immune dysregulationThe gut-skin-immune connection and how gut health can influence eczema, congestion, inflammation, and food reactionsWhy individualised, realistic support works better than restrictive diets and overwhelming protocols
If you're struggling with dyshidrotic eczema and stuck in the cycle of restrictive diets, expensive creams, and an endless search for answers, this episode offers a fresh perspective. Discover why hand eczema is connected to deeper issues like gut health imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and immune system dysfunction, rather than just blaming it all on food sensitivities.In this conversation, I explore how common approaches to hand eczema can actually make your rash worse, along with practical insights into what steps support healing. If you've had enough of cracked, itchy, painful, or constantly flaring hands, this episode is for you!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

Is meat good for you, or is it quietly destroying your gut health, your cholesterol, and your long-term health?Have you been told to eat less red meat, focus on cholesterol lowering foods, and load up on plants to protect yourself from autoimmune disease and chronic illness, but you're still dealing with bloating, constipation, fatigue, or worsening autoimmune conditions?Or maybe you've tried vegan, vegetarian, or “clean eating” diets for your health, and instead of getting better, your symptoms got worse?If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you.Today, we're tackling one of the most controversial questions in nutrition: is meat good for you?Over the last 8 years working with hundreds of clients, I've seen something that goes directly against mainstream advice.

What if the itch isn't the problem? What if it's just your child's body waving a flag — and everything you've been treating is just the flag? In this episode I'm sitting down with Dr. Elena Villanueva, functional medicine physician and founder of Modern Holistic Health. She breaks chronic illness in kids down into three root causes — toxins, trauma, and thoughts — and every single one of them shows up in eczema. We get into the everyday exposures that are moving the needle most for kids, how unresolved emotions literally change the biology of the body, what advanced functional testing reveals that conventional medicine misses, and why the bacteria in your child's gut can affect their mood, behavior, and personality. This one is a must-listen. Ready to get your child out of eczema this summer? Apply for an Alignment Call with me at the link below. We will walk through your child's history, what you have tried, and map out exactly what needs to happen next. No guessing. Just a clear plan.
The donor egg recommendation rarely comes after a complete workup. It comes after AMH, FSH, and an antral follicle count. That is usually where the investigation stops. In this episode, Sarah Clark walks through what is missing from the workup before women are told donor eggs are their only path: the full thyroid panel, not just TSH. Stool DNA testing for H. pylori, parasites, and food sensitivities. The vaginal microbiome. The male partner's blood work, which most clinics do not run. The nervous system patterns most REIs do not connect to fertility. Sarah shares Rebecca's case as a proof point. Rebecca was 27. Her AMH was 0.04 ng/mL. POI diagnosis. Told donor eggs were her only option. Her stool DNA testing revealed H. pylori and a parasite. Her food sensitivity testing showed gluten, dairy, and egg intolerance. She had adrenal insufficiency, thyroid imbalance, mineral depletion, and toxic load on her workup. Her eczema, migraines, and asthma were not separate issues. After targeted work, she conceived naturally in month five. Outcomes vary. Rebecca's case is one of many we use to illustrate what completing the workup can look like. This episode is for the woman sitting with a donor egg recommendation who is not ready to agree before she understands what was actually evaluated. The goal is clarity. Not opposition to your clinic. Not a guarantee of any outcome. Clarity on what your workup did not include, so that whatever you decide next gets made on the full picture. What this episode covers: The diagnosis is real. The investigation is incomplete. Why TSH alone is not a thyroid panel. H. pylori, hidden food sensitivities, and the gut inflammation driver. Eczema, migraines, and asthma as fertility signals. The male partner's workup should include beyond a semen analysis. Nervous system patterns most REIs do not connect to fertility. Next steps: Access the free guide: What Your Clinic Missed.

Allergies have tripled - with hay fever, seasonal allergies, eczema and food intolerances now affecting millions of people. But why are allergy symptoms getting worse, and what does gut health have to do with it? In this episode, Adam Fox, a world-leading allergy Professor at King's College London, explains why allergies may be rising so fast, why many beliefs about allergies are wrong, and what new science reveals about your immune system, skin and gut. Professor Fox explores why some foods are more likely to trigger reactions, and why modern allergy science is increasingly focused on gut health. Adam also discusses why 90% of people told they are allergic to certain things may not actually be allergic, the difference between allergies and intolerances, and why some antihistamines may be doing you more harm than you realise. By the end of this episode, you will have some practical ways to manage hay fever and seasonal allergies, including which antihistamines experts now recommend avoiding, simple ways to reduce pollen exposure at home, and when allergy testing or desensitisation treatment may help. Adam explains how newer treatments are starting to retrain the immune system rather than simply suppress symptoms. If allergies barely existed a few hundred years ago, what changed? And could your gut now be shaping the way your immune system reacts to the world around you?
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Oliver Liu of Hypothesis to unpack one of the most misunderstood areas in skincare today: the microbiome. While the term has become a marketing staple, this conversation reveals just how early we still are in understanding the microbial ecosystems that shape skin health—and why most current treatments fail to reflect that complexity.Oliver reframes common conditions like acne and eczema as problems of imbalance, not simple bacterial overgrowth. In eczema, a weakened barrier, immune dysregulation, and the presence of Staphylococcus aureus create a self-reinforcing cycle of inflammation and irritation. In acne, it's not the presence of bacteria that drives breakouts—but which strains dominate. This shift challenges the long-standing idea that eliminating bacteria altogether is the solution.That insight exposes a deeper flaw in traditional treatments. Broad-spectrum approaches like benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics remove both harmful and beneficial microbes, often leading to temporary relief followed by recurrence, increased sensitivity, and long-term imbalance.The conversation then turns to a new model: precision skincare. Inspired by naturally occurring enzymes, Oliver explains how targeted approaches can selectively eliminate harmful bacteria without disrupting the surrounding ecosystem—preserving balance while addressing the root cause.This episode ultimately reframes skincare as ecosystem management, not correction.Listen to the full episode to hear Oliver break down the science of the microbiome and why the future of skincare lies in precision, not force.Shop HypothesisDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a sponsored collaborationSupport the show
Summer should be the best season of your child's life. The pool, the beach, the popsicles, the late nights outside. But for eczema families, summer can quietly undo months of progress... and most parents don't realize it's happening until the skin is already in crisis. Today I'm breaking down exactly how to protect your eczema kid's skin all summer long without keeping them out of the pool or the sun. We're covering why mineral sunscreen isn't automatically safe for eczema skin, the hidden ingredient problem most clean sunscreen brands never talk about, the post-pool routine that actually protects the skin barrier before damage sets in and how to handle heat, sweat, bug bites, and restless summer nights. If you want your kid in the pool all summer and still want to come out the other side with calm skin, this one is for you. Everything covered in this episode is inside the Eczema Healing Box.

Your body already makes the most powerful wound-healing molecule on the planet, and now you can use it at home. This episode breaks down hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the compound your white blood cells produce naturally, and why it outperforms Neosporin, hydrogen peroxide, and synthetic antibiotics for everything from cuts and burns to eczema, rosacea, and chronic wounds. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Grab a generous discount on your next purchase of Active Skin Repair by using code ‘Dave' at: https://www.activeskinrepair.com Host Dave Asprey sits down with Justin Gardner, a 20-year leader in health, wellness, and regenerative medicine who has founded and sold multiple companies and introduced over 50 innovative products into hospitals and doctors' offices. When Justin discovered hypochlorous acid, he shifted his entire focus to making this medical-grade, non-toxic molecule available to the public, founding Active Skin Repair to give people a cleaner, more effective alternative to the chemical-laden products that dominate the skincare aisle. Dave and Justin cover the full biohacking case for HOCl: how it kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in 15 seconds, why it does not trigger antibiotic resistance, how it avoids destroying the healthy growth factors that hydrogen peroxide nukes, and how it supports the skin microbiome instead of wrecking it. They also get into AI as a tool for functional medicine research, why the standard of care is the floor not the ceiling, and how smarter not harder approaches to wound care and chronic skin conditions are finally going mainstream. Dave shares the story of treating a mystery acid beetle wound from his Amazon trip using this exact compound, and why it belongs in every medicine cabinet alongside your supplements stack. You'll Learn: Why hypochlorous acid is 100 times more powerful than bleach but has the same safety profile as saline How HOCl mimics your immune system's own wound response instead of overriding it Why hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin can actually stall healing and damage your skin microbiome How HOCl disrupts biofilms in chronic wounds, sinuses, and on the skin during eczema flare-ups Why most HOCl products on the market contain little to no active ingredient How to use AI tools like Claude and Perplexity for functional medicine research that most doctors haven't done Why the US standard of care is the floor, not the ceiling, for anyone serious about longevity and anti-aging How to stack HOCl with red light therapy and other biohacking tools for faster recovery Thank you to our sponsors! - Viome | Check it out at https://www.viome.com/ and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.
