Guest: Dr. Rachel Sheskier
Steroids: indispensable, unpredictable, and, when it comes to endocrinology, often hiding in plain sight. In this episode of the JDD Podcast, Dr. Adam Friedman continues the Steroid Stewardship Series by zooming in on the hormonal ripple effects of corticosteroid use, where even small exposures can have outsized systemic consequences. Joined by Dr. Rachel Sheskier, Assistant Professor of Endocrinology at Mount Sinai, this conversation unpacks how steroids intersect with adrenal health, metabolic balance, and long-term patient outcomes.
From adrenal suppression to the broader implications of cumulative steroid exposure, Dr. Sheskier brings an endocrinologist’s perspective to a tool dermatologists use every day. The discussion highlights what different specialties are seeing when it comes to steroid-related adverse events, cutaneous, systemic, and beyond, and where awareness gaps still exist. Just as importantly, it explores how we can better monitor, counsel, and collaborate across disciplines to optimize care. This episode is a reminder that steroids don’t stay in their lane, and neither should we when it comes to stewardship.
