The gut-skin connection: Why eczema starts on the inside.

If you’ve ever dealt with eczema, you know how frustrating it can be — red, itchy, inflamed skin that flares up without warning and never on your schedule.

But what if we told you that your gut might be part of the problem?

Science is catching up to what many people have known for years: gut health and skin health are deeply connected — and eczema is often a sign that something’s out of balance on the inside.

So what’s the connection?

🦠 The gut-skin axis:

Your gut and your skin are constantly talking — through immune responses, inflammation, and the microbiome.

🧱 Leaky gut, leaky skin:

When the gut lining becomes permeable (aka “leaky gut”), toxins and undigested food particles can leak into the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation — and for some, that shows up as eczema.

🌱 Imbalanced microbiome:

Studies show people with eczema often have lower gut microbial diversity — meaning fewer of the “good bugs” that help keep your immune system in check.

🎯 Overactive immune system:

The gut is home to 70–80% of your immune system. If it's constantly being triggered by food sensitivities, infections, or dysbiosis, it can start reacting to harmless things — like your own skin.

The good news?

Supporting your gut can also help calm your skin.

Here’s what can help:

🥬 Anti-inflammatory foods — especially green veg, oily fish, and fermented foods

🧘♀️ Stress support — stress flares both eczema and gut dysfunction

💊 Targeted gut support — ingredients like L-Glutamine, turmeric, and probiotics help repair the gut lining and reduce inflammatory triggers

P.S. We’ve heard from so many of you who saw improvements in eczema flare-ups after starting gut support.
