Is there a relationship between eczema and thyroid autoimmunity?

Our skin is a window into our internal health.

More than just a superficial concern, recent research has shown that eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is better classified as an autoimmune condition rather than an allergic reaction. The three pillars that are thought to contribute to its pathogenesis are skin barrier damage, immune response disorders, and skin microbiome imbalances. More than genetics alone, environmental factors significantly impact its development.

Today, I’m exploring the potential link between eczema and thyroid autoimmunity. From the causes that contribute to the development of eczema to the factors that suggest a connection to autoimmune thyroid conditions like Graves' and Hashimoto's, it’s important to address underlying causes rather than just treating symptoms.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- The correlation between eczema and autoimmune conditions
- Causes and theories on why eczema develops
- The four categories of triggers
- Role of the skin microbiome
- Conventional treatment options for eczema
- Natural treatment options for reversing eczema
- Three main factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of eczema
- Research studies on the relationship between eczema and autoimmune conditions


As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
