Think gut parasites are only a concern if you have digestive problems (like diarrhea)? Think again.Parasites can trigger chronic skin problems—even without gut symptoms—and are notoriously hard to detect. From eczema and chronic hives to hidden nutrient deficiencies, the signs are often missed, especially in developed countries like the US.Joining me is pediatric skin-focused nutritionist Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, to unpack the skin–parasite connection, testing pitfalls, and what clues to watch for.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Jennifer Brand - https://jennifercarynbrand.com/- LISTEN TO PART 1 OF THIS CONVERSATION → https://www.skinterrupt.com/358   - GOT RASHY KIDS?

If your skin dictates how your day goes, it might be time to look at your mindset and emotional habits. Chronic conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and even Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) can leave you feeling powerless, but shifting how you relate to them can change everything. In this episode, I’m joined by mindset strategist Brad Bizjack to explore how to develop emotional resilience so you can reclaim control and confidence... even when your symptoms feel overwhelming.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Sign up for the Success Accelerator challenge - https://www.bradbizjack.com/a/2147528243/a3VL5bor- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/361- Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE Root Cause Quiz - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Tired of flaky, itchy scalp + dandruff issues that don’t go away? You’re not alone.Whether it’s cradle cap or stubborn seborrheic dermatitis, most treatments (from medicated shampoos to steroids) miss the real problem—an imbalanced scalp microbiome and compromised skin barrier.Joining me to dig into the itchy scalp root causes and offer steroid-free relief is Dr. Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH. A renowned pediatrician and researcher, Dr. Gupta shares how to rebalance the scalp, reduce flaking, and support long-term skin health—without harsh ingredients.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Dr. Gupta online - https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/sites/cfaar/ - Find Yobee online - http://www.yobeecare.com/- Get Dr. Gupta’s book, Food Without Fear - https://www.amazon.com/Food-Without-Fear-Intolerances-Sensitivities/dp/0306846519/ - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Yellow, brittle, or raised nails can be a sign of nail psoriasis or a fungal nail infection.Finger and toe nail psoriasis often hides under the nail bed, making it hard to spot until inflammation and damage set in. And if you have psoriatic arthritis, your risk of nail psoriasis is over 70%.Joining me is Dr. Jenny Bennett, a naturopathic doctor and autoimmune specialist, to break down the signs, symptoms, and best treatment options for nail psoriasis.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:-  Find Dr. Bennett online - https://www.ariaintegrative.com/ - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Can gut parasites be a hidden trigger driving your skin issues nuts?Chronic hives, eczema, and psoriasis have links to gut microbiome imbalances. Yes, it’s possible to have parasites even if you don’t have digestive symptoms. In fact, parasite infections often fly under the radar and can show up in surprising ways.Joining me to explore how parasites affect skin (especially in kids) is Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS—a pediatric skin-focused clinical nutritionist. Together we dive into how to spot hidden infections, where “parasite hot spots” are, and what to do next.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Jennifer Brand online - https://jennifercarynbrand.com/ - GOT RASHY KIDS?

Dr. Shawn Kwatra, Chair of Dermatology at the University of Maryland and author of "Living with Itch," dives into the enigmatic world of neuropathic itch where intense scratching meets nerve dysfunction. He explains how this condition manifests without visible rashes, often impacting quality of life. The conversation highlights innovative treatments like low-dose naltrexone and the need for a collaborative approach between dermatologists and pain specialists. Dr. Kwatra calls for increased awareness and research to unearth better solutions for those suffering from this common issue.

Think candida is the cause of your skin issues? Be careful—stool tests aren’t always reliable for spotting candida overgrowth.While signs like thrush, vaginal yeast infections, or diaper rash are more obvious, other symptoms can be subtle and easily ignored. Candida-driven inflammation in the gut can show up as rashes, eczema, or other skin problems—especially in kids.Joining me is pediatric skin-focused clinical nutritionist Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS. We explore how candida overgrowths show up in both children and adults, and why a full-body approach matters more than any one test result.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Jennifer Brand online - https://jennifercarynbrand.com/ - GOT RASHY KIDS?

Do you have eczema or psoriasis because “you got bad genes”? Doctors often say these conditions are larely genetic—but is that really true?In this episode, Dr. Ian Myles, head of the Epithelial Therapeutics Unit at the NIH, joins me to unpack why blaming genes oversimplifies what’s really going on on the skin. From environmental triggers and microbiome imbalances to nutrient deficiencies and chemical exposures—there’s far more at play than just your DNA.We also explore how modern genetics may have misled how doctors approach treating chronic conditions which is detailed in his book Gattaca Has Fallen. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by the “it’s genetic” explanation, this one’s for you.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Dr. Ian Myles online - https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/ian-myles-md-mph - Gattaca Has Fallen (book) - https://www.amazon.com/GATTACA-HAS-FALLEN-Population-Genetics/dp/B0CK3VCV6Y - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!
