Podcasts about rashes

In this episode Dr. Jockers explains the truth about histamine intolerance and how it connects to allergies, headaches, rashes, and chronic inflammation. You will learn why histamine is an essential immune and nervous system messenger that becomes problematic when the body can't clear it efficiently. This episode explores the early warning signs and what they actually mean for your health.   You will discover how histamine overload develops when gut health, liver function, and key enzymes like DAO and HNMT are compromised. The discussion breaks down why common symptoms like fatigue, hives, migraines, and skin reactions often trace back to this imbalance. You will also understand how internal stressors amplify histamine response in ways most people overlook.   You will also learn the hidden drivers behind histamine intolerance including gut infections, nutrient deficiencies, and everyday medications that interfere with detox pathways. Dr. Jockers outlines how food choices, stress, and environmental exposures all contribute to the overall histamine load. You will come away with a clearer understanding of how to restore balance and support long-term resilience.

Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into one of the most important — and most overlooked — root causes behind chronic childhood illness: dysautonomia. He breaks down what dysautonomia actually is, how it connects seemingly unrelated symptoms across the gut, immune system, brain, and body, and why the conventional medical model of siloed specialists keeps so many families stuck without real answers. Using the real-life case of patient Connor — a young athlete who went from mysterious fevers, rashes, and inflammation to thriving — Dr. Tony shows exactly how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care targets dysautonomia at its root. He also walks through the INSiGHT scanning technology used to measure and map dysautonomia, and sends every parent home with one powerful truth: it may not be 57 different problems. It may be one.-----Links & Resources:Register for the FREE Resilient Family Summit: thepxdocs.com/familyConnor's Success Story: Read hereLearn more about the INSiGHT Scans here: https://pxdocs.com/nervous-system/insight-scans/-----Key Moments:03:30 How Dysautonomia Connects Gut, Immune, Brain, and Body Dysfunction 07:00 Connor's Story: Fevers, Rashes, and a Kid Who Wasn't Himself 10:00 Four Specialists in Three Weeks and Still No Answers 17:00 The Air Traffic Control Analogy: What Dysautonomia Actually Is 21:00 How Dysautonomia Showed Up Across Connor's Entire Body 25:00 Why the Medical System Loses the Forest for the Trees 31:00 The INSiGHT Scans: Measuring and Mapping Dysautonomia 39:00 Connor's Update and How to Take Action-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

Bloating after meals, constipation, or sudden urgency to run to the bathroom are often brushed off as normal, but they can be signs of irritable bowel syndrome.

Your membership directly supports the podcast and the work we do.I just appeared on The Highwire to debate germ theory vs. terrain theory, and most of what I needed to say didn't fit in the segment.In this episode, I replay my roundtable with Del Bigtree, Dr. Ben Tapper, and Katie Collins, pausing throughout to add the context, evidence, and arguments that I didn't have time to fully explain live. I walk through the viral isolation procedure used in virology, why 160 volunteers rarely caught the Spanish flu despite deliberate exposure, and what research on mass psychogenic illness, placebo, and the nocebo effect suggests about how belief and fear can produce real symptoms in large groups.I also respond directly to Del's challenge on gain of function and the idea that rejecting virology lets Fauci off the hook, including a clip from my earlier interview with Dr. David Martin that speaks directly to that question. From there, I get into medical freedom, censorship, and whether authority should have any role in personal health decisions. I cover the vaccine schedule debate and the burden of proof in virology, and I unpack it all in a way the roundtable didn't allow.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[18:49] RFK Jr. at HHS and why political wins on the vaccine schedule may not last [51:34] Fear as a physical disease trigger and what that means for mass illness events [01:02:23] Germ theory put to the scientific method, and why it doesn't survive [01:11:00] Contagion studies keep failing, and the evidence runs deeper than most people realize [01:38:02] Why do groups get sick together? What terrain theory actually proposes [01:44:32] Rashes, fevers, and "catching" something are real, but the viral cause is not proven [01:58:08] Andy Wakefield didn't know what he was pointing to, and neither did the courts [02:14:13] Del's direct challenge: if viruses don't exist, why did a vaccine stop measles? [02:50:51] Whose job is it to prove the virus exists, and what David Martin actually said Resources mentioned:GERM vs. TERRAIN WEBINAR with Alec Zeck | YouTubeFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:PACHA Sourdough: The wheat-free, sprouted buckwheat bread that actually digests well.

Certified nurse midwife Roxanne explains common skin changes in pregnancy caused by hormonal shifts, increased blood volume, and a growing belly, including hyperpigmentation (melasma, linea nigra), vascular changes (spider veins, varicose veins), and stretch marks. She shares practical tips like daily SPF and sun protection for darkening, and compression socks, avoiding prolonged standing/crossing legs, walking, and massage to support circulation. For stretch marks, she notes there's no evidence that creams prevent them during pregnancy and retinoids aren't recommended until postpartum; causes are multifactorial (genetics, collagen, hydration, baby size/weight gain). Roxanne also reviews pregnancy itching and rashes: PUPPP (third trimester, spares belly button), atopic eruption (first/second trimester, widespread), and more concerning conditions needing evaluation—ICP (itching palms/soles), pemphigoid gestationis (starts at belly button; risks for baby), and rare pustular psoriasis with systemic symptoms—advising viewers to contact their provider for assessment and treatment options.Watch our video about ICP here: https://youtu.be/uzZz2KuZDAU00:00 Welcome and Introductions01:01 Why Skin Changes Happen01:44 Hyperpigmentation and Melasma02:40 Spider and Varicose Veins03:48 Stretch Marks Truths06:18 Common Changes Recap07:15 Itching and PUPPP Rash08:57 Atopic Eruption Explained09:53 Red Flags and Serious Rashes13:45 Final Recap and Next Steps————

It probably doesn't surprise you that HS (hidradenitis suppurativa) is much more than just a skin condition.

What happens when an allergist steps into the online world and starts breaking down headlines in real time? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Zachary Rubin, board certified allergist and immunologist, content creator, and now author of All About Allergies. We talk about why allergy misinformation spreads so easily, why “allergy” is not a catch all term, and how social media has unexpectedly made him a better clinician.

If you've got a penicillin allergy, this episode is crucial for you! That's because you can outgrow a drug allergy like this even if you developed it as an adult. Antibiotic allergies are either misdiagnosed or fade over time. Even if you avoid taking antibiotics like the plague, having a drug allergy on your medical chart can end up limiting treatment options if you find yourself truly needing them.In this episode, my guest, Dr. Mariana Castells, breaks down how drug allergies are diagnosed, how long they take to disappear, why they can appear later in life, and how “drug delabeling” could dramatically improve your care (especially when something serious happens). Dr. Mariana Castells, M.D., Ph.D., is a world-renowned expert in allergy and immunology with over 30 years of experience. Whether you have an antibiotic allergy (or you know someone who does), this is a must-listen interview!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

Do you feel like you get crazy histamine intolerance symptoms as your body reacts to everything — certain foods, smells, stress, or even the weather? Symptoms such as itchy skin, rashes, dermatographia, angioedema, bloating, or headaches that seem to appear out of nowhere are often linked to histamine intolerance.But before you blame your diet and dive headfirst into a low-histamine diet, know that food isn't likely to blame. After working with over 1,000 clients, I can tell you that there are deeper, more pressing issues that drive urticaria and chronic hives.Let's dive into why you probably don't have histamine intolerance (despite having all the symptoms), how histamine intolerance differs from MCAS, and what's really triggering these crazy histamine reactions. From mold exposure to liver detox issues and hormone imbalances, we explore how these hidden factors can lead to ongoing inflammation and itchy skin that just won't quit.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- FREE Root Cause Finder Guide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/rootcauseguide-pod - See all the references

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.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Learn how to address your Eczema root causes

If mealtimes with your child have become a daily battle, you're not alone. Picky eating isn't always just a phase, and unfortunately many of the tactics that your parents used on you (like “You can't leave the table until you clean your plate”) often backfire. In this episode, I am joined by Alyssa Miller, RD, a picky eating specialist, to explore the real reasons that drive picky eating in toddlers and young children, including underlying gut issues and nutrient deficiencies. So if you're looking to get your child to eat more foods, and make mealtime peaceful again, Alyssa is here to help you find practical strategies to make your picky eater feel safe trying new foods without pressure, bribing, or giving in. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Join Alyssa's Free workshop to stop picky eating

Are oxalates really the villain in your diet that they're made out to be?If you've dealt with kidney stones or spiraled down a health forum rabbit hole, you've probably heard that a high oxalate diet is responsible for joint pain, leaky gut + chronic skin problems. But does cutting out high oxalate foods truly fix the problem—or is it just part of the story?In this episode, we're unpacking what oxalates really are, why your levels might be high (spoiler: it's not always your diet), best tests for oxalates, strategies to lower oxalates (beyond just eating low oxalate foods), and the deeper root causes of high oxalates that most people miss—like candida overgrowth, gut imbalances, and even heavy metals.Confused by the oxalate fear-mongering? You won't be after this.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

What if the real game-changer for your gut and skin health isn't probiotics or diet… and is even BETTER than colostrum?In this episode, I'm joined by Brian Kaufman to explore how a colostrum-free immunoglobulin binder can target gut toxins, support gut repair (especially if you've got leaky gut), and calm inflammation — perfect for those struggling with chronic gut and skin issues as well as food sensitivities.If you've felt stuck and reactive to more and more foods, this could be the missing link!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Get my fav dairy-free IgGs to boost your gut protocol

Could your fatigue, bloating, or random skin rashes be more than “just stress” or IBS? You might be shocked to learn they could actually be signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or even colon cancer — yes, it's possible without having obvious digestive symptoms.It's unfortunately common to discover that you have Crohn's or ulcerative colitis in your 60s, and not because of gut issues… but during a routine colonoscopy screening. Others are misdiagnosed for years while battling brain fog, thyroid problems, skin issues like psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, or even unexplained anemia — all while the real problem quietly worsens.I'm joined by Dr. Ilana Gurevich, a naturopathic gastroenterologist who specializes in complex GI disorders. We dive into the hidden signs of IBD, how it differs from IBS, sneaky signs of colon cancer (especially with skyrocketing rates), and the TRUTH about colonoscopies – why you should absolutely stop putting it off and never use a stool test for gut health as a replacement.If you've been brushed off, gaslit, or still searching for answers, you don't want to miss this.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

Have you tried maca root for perimenopause, menopause, manopause (low T), adrenal fatigue, or hormone imbalances and felt like it didn't work—or even made things worse? While it's often marketed as a universal hormone balancer, not all maca is created equal. Different types of maca root affect the body in very different ways, so using the wrong kind can actually worsen symptoms triggering anxiety, acne, or energy crashes.In this episode, Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD—nutrition scientist and educator —returns to unpack the science behind maca's many forms. With over 20 years of experience in both academia and the natural health industry, Dr. Minich shares…

Dairy is often labeled as inflammatory and unhealthy—but is that really true? With rising dairy intolerance and the popularity of plant-based alternatives, it's easy to wonder if milk still belongs in our diets.Traditional dairy like yogurt, kefir, and cheese have nourished cultures for thousands of years, yet modern processing may play a role in today's issues.Joining me is Dr. Bill Schindler, archaeologist, primitive technologist, and chef, who studies ancestral diets and runs the Modern Stone Age Kitchen. Together, we unpack whether dairy is truly “bad” for you, why dairy intolerance is on the rise, and what you can do to better tolerate dairy. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

Best known for weight loss and blood sugar control, GLP-1 drugs might also reduce the stubborn inflammation behind hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Early research shows they may impact key inflammatory pathways—and even improve HS symptoms (including painful skin boils) without major weight loss.But big questions remain: How do they interact with current HS treatments? Who can prescribe them? What happens if you stop?Dermatologist and HS expert Dr. Steven Daveluy returns to unpack the science, share insights, and explore what this could mean for the future of HS care.

Histamine intolerance is typically mild, but Mastocytosis is the most severe form of mast cell disorder—often taking nearly a decade to diagnose. Symptoms can affect multiple organs, from rashes and GI issues to life-threatening anaphylaxis, and standard treatments like low-histamine diets and antihistamines often fail.Many doctors aren't familiar with testing or treatment options for mast cell issues like Mastocytosis and MCAS.Today, I'm joined by Dr. Mariana Castells, a leading expert in allergy and immunology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She directs the renowned Mastocytosis Center and the Drug Hypersensitivity and Desensitization Center.Even if you have histamine intolerance or MCAS, this episode offers key insights on histamine, testing, and finding real relief—because no one should suffer needlessly.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Connect with Dr. Castells at https://bit.ly/3ItFhU2 - Histamine Overload Masterclass

What's the best treatment for Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)? While answers are still emerging, we're getting closer.TSW is a misunderstood, drug-induced condition that goes far beyond typical eczema. Many sufferers feel dismissed by doctors since there's no formal diagnostic criteria and many dermatologists deny its existence. Yet symptoms like relentless itching, flaking, insomnia, “zingers,” and even depression can be life-altering.In this episode, I speak with Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman—a compassionate, research-driven Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who reveals how TSW differs from eczema, and explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the “toxic heat” behind symptoms. If you've been told “it's just eczema” or feel like nothing is working, this episode offers fresh hope and validation!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Connect with Dr. Friedman
