405: Staph aureus + Eczema: Why This Inflammatory Bacteria Is A Problem You Shouldn’t Ignore (Especially When Your Skin Flares) w/ Dr. Peter Lio

Is it just an eczema (atopic dermatitis) flare or could it be something else? Most people don’t realize that Staph aureus could be the hidden skin flare trigger that actively weakens your skin barrier, triggering more inflammation, itchiness, and persistent eczema symptoms. Even if it seems “normal,” the presence of Staph might point to deeper imbalances that need attention.

In this episode, we dig into how Staph aureus, the gut microbiome, environmental toxins, and even air pollution can all contribute to recurring eczema.

Joining me is Dr. Peter Lio, a board-certified dermatologist and respected voice in integrative dermatology. He’s a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern University and has authored over 100 papers, along with a textbook on Integrative Dermatology.

If you’re ready to understand why your eczema isn’t clearing up, this is a must-listen conversation filled with insight and practical takeaways.
