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

Can ChatGPT accurately analyze a GI Map stool test? I put it to the test using my own stool test results—and the outcome was… shocking.Because more people rely on AI for lab interpretation and even protocols, I thought it would be valuable to see how its advice compares to that of a seasoned clinical nutritionist (with over 8 years of experience). In this episode, I walk you through my stool test results, ChatGPT's interpretation, and lastly – the protocol suggested by ChatGPT.Before you upload any testing to AI – you need to listen to this!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Get access to my tested protocols to FIX your skin

Think you might have IBS or Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth—but diet changes aren't helping?There's a lesser-known type of SIBO that's often missed: Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO.Unlike the hydrogen or methane types, hydrogen sulfide is a neurotoxin that can trigger strange symptoms—like nerve pain, bladder irritation, or even fibromyalgia-like pain. It also plays a major role in the gut-skin connection.But it often doesn't show up on standard SIBO tests, making it hard to diagnose.I'm joined by Dr. Allison Siebecker (renown SIBO expert) to dive into this complex gut issue that can also play a role in messing up your skin (since SIBO is tied to rosacea, psoriasis, and histamine intolerance).⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Dr. Siebecker

Do you feel like your PMS is “on steroids”? Maybe it shows up with intense mood swings or what feels like “period flu” every month. If so, you could be dealing with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)—a condition that affects 5–8% of women, yet is often brushed off by conventional doctors.PMDD symptoms can be incredibly disruptive, especially if you're also struggling with histamine intolerance. In fact, there's a growing connection between PMDD and histamine issues—something that can be even more dysregulating for neurodivergent women.To unpack this and explore natural PMDD treatments and relief strategies, I'm joined by Dr. Jolene Brighten—renowned hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author of Beyond the Pill and Is This Normal.

Are elimination diets really the holy grail for gut healing and clearer skin—or are they quietly creating problems no one warns you about?In this personal episode, I share my journey of cutting out gluten, dairy, and eggs for years—and what happened when I finally tried to reintroduce them. Spoiler: it wasn't smooth. From misinterpreting food sensitivity tests to developing deep food fears, I open up about how “clean eating” ended up taking a toll on my health, happiness, and social life.If you're stuck on an elimination diet, afraid to reintroduce foods, or wondering if restriction is really the answer—this episode is for you. Let's bust some myths and get real about what true healing actually looks like.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See the references + transcript

Ever been diagnosed with stasis dermatitis? If you're dealing with swelling, redness, or relentless itchiness on your lower legs, it's not just dry skin or aging—it could be a sign of poor circulation.Stasis dermatitis is more than just a rash. If left unchecked, it can lead to painful ulcers, infections, and serious complications. It's often mistaken for cellulitis, which means unnecessary antibiotics—and in one case, a patient was hospitalized 11 times before getting the right diagnosis. And heads up—it doesn't just show up on legs. It can also affect areas like the belly and lower back where blood tends to pool.To help us unpack this overlooked condition, I'm joined by Dr. Peter Lio—a board-certified dermatologist and eczema expert. He's a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern, Harvard-trained, and has published over 100 papers, including a textbook on integrative dermatology.Dr. Lio breaks down what stasis dermatitis is, why it's often missed, and how to spot it early. If you or someone you love has unexplained swelling, itchy legs, or chronic redness—don't miss this episode!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dr. Peter Lio - https://chicagoeczema.com/ - See all the references

Because I've been asked over the years, “is sourdough bread gluten free?” AND could it be a healthy, safe option for someone living with chronic health issuesI've finally got some very clear answers for you!To be honest, trying to answer these questions opened up a pandora's box for me. I was then faced with questions I didn't even think to ask like what makes bread labeled “sourdough”… real sourdough?I came to discover that, especially if you live in the US, there's not only a lot of fake sourdough sold on store shelves, but ideas shared on social media about how to make everything from sourdough pancakes or sourdough cookies is probably wrong.We'll get into all of this in today's episode, but I first must acknowledge that for years, gluten has been demonized as a health wrecker. This led countless people to eliminate it (and sourdough bread) from their diets.I spent years teaching how bad gluten was for health…But after 15 years spent avoiding gluten, I've made some really startling discoveries.And that's where sourdough bread comes in (underscoring my long journey to answer that “is sourdough bread gluten free” question).In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Bill Schindler, an archaeologist and food scientist, about the ancient techniques that could revolutionize how we approach bread. He explains why modern wheat is causing problems for so many people and how fermentation transforms grains into a gut-friendly sourdough bread.Dr. Schindler is leading the charge in reviving traditional food preparation methods that can help restore our health. Through his work at the Modern Stone Age Kitchen located in Chestertown, MD, he's proving that sourdough bread can be both nourishing and delicious.If you've ever wondered whether sourdough bread could be worth a try, this episode is for you!In This Episode:Why modern bread is making people sickThe difference between ancient + modern wheat varietiesWhat fermentation does to gluten (and why it matters)Benefits of sourdough breadIs sourdough bread gluten free? (and my experience trying sourdough bread)The hidden truth about “store-bought sourdough”Why fermentation time of sourdough bread is crucial for digestibilityBefore you eat a sourdough cookie or sourdough pancakes…What to look for when buying sourdough bread so you know it's realHow Bill + the Modern Stone Age Kitchen is reviving ancient baking techniquesQuotes“Anybody who's starting to dip their toes into this world of not only eating in this way, but also making your food from scratch at home, fermentation is a great sort of gateway into that world.”“Typically if [the label] says yeast… citric acid, lactic acid, or acetic acid, then I can guarantee you it isn't sourdough and they're trying to fool you.”LinksFind Dr. Bill Schindler + the Modern Stone Age Kitchen online | online | Instagram | InstagramGet Dr. Schindler's book Ready to figure out your skin's root causes so you can finally fix your skin + break free from meds to manage your skin?My virtual clinic works with adults worldwide struggling with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, urticaria, hives, dandruff, perioral dermatitis + more.Trusted by over 1000 clients, we get results WITHOUT restrictive elimination diets.Schedule an assessment call at https://skinrepaircall.com/

If your body is super reactive… even the tiniest change can set off awful symptoms – then you should consider the spectrum of mast cell activation diseases.What most people find enjoyable, like healthy foods, exercise, or even sunlight, can make some feel horrible. Often these symptoms are beyond just “histamine intolerance symptoms.”And while others around you might think you're just “being dramatic” or “making a mountain out of a molehill,” it's clear to you that your body is extremely more reactive than others.It can be hard to get a clear diagnosis and help if you are struggling with mast cell activation diseases – including those with hypermobility syndrome issues like Ehlers-Danlos.If your life feels like you're constantly navigating a minefield of unexpected symptoms to the smallest things, I'm joined by Michelle Shapiro, RD, to talk about what causes you to have a “highly sensitive body.”Michelle Shapiro, RD is an Integrative/Functional Registered Dietitian in NYC who has helped over 1000+ clients reverse their anxiety, heal long-standing gut and immune issues, and approach their weight in a loving way.

Natural liver detox remedies and cleanses are all the rage online – especially if you've had chronic skin problems.While poor liver detox can contribute to skin inflammation symptoms, it's critical that you ask WHY is your liver struggling.That way, a natural liver detox remedy or diet cleanse doesn't trigger a flare-up (which can and does happen).When you ask why there's so much skin inflammation, you'll discover that the balance of your gut-skin axis plays a HUGE role in throwing your liver's detox capacity over the edge.So in today's episode, I'm sharing an interview that I did on Resiliency Radio hosted by Dr. Jill Carnahan where we dive into ways to support and optimize natural liver detox, how to reduce fatty liver (especially for those with psoriasis), the liver-gut-skin-axis connections, and the emotional toll that skin issues can cause.If you're newer to figuring out our root causes, THIS GUIDE is a great place to start.So let's dive in!In This Episode:Why overloaded liver detox pathways can make skin inflammation worseThe key nutrients to boost natural liver detoxCommon signs of a hidden skin infection and when to see a doctorHow elimination diets can harm your relationship with foodThe emotional toll chronic skin conditions takeConnection between cytokines in chronic skin inflammation + biologic drugsInterplay between nervous system regulation + calming skin flare-upsHow imbalances within the gut-skin axis trigger skin inflammationHow to reduce fatty liver (especially if you have psoriasis)Quotes“People think skin issues are just cosmetic, but they don't realize the pain and trauma that come with it—especially when others judge you based on how you look.”“You can't predict your skin.

It's pretty common to be frustrated by aging skin, especially if years of skin problems seem to have accelerated the process. Between common skin treatments and medications, the matrix of collagen for skin can become damaged.The loss of skin hydration (aka.

It's March 4th, 2002 and WWF RAW opens with Mr. McMahon. He says Ric Flair isn't here tonight and that it is going to be “Fan Appreciation Night.” He books Kurt Angle vs Triple H inside a Steel Cage for the main event. Also, Stone Cold faces off against Booker-T until the nWo arrive and destroy Austin with a big wrench. They beat him up so bad that he has to go to a local medical facility. Speaking of the nWo, one member will be in action. It turns out it's Scott Hall and he has a match against Spike Dudley. In Scott's mind this is Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Undertaker is trying to get Ric Flair to have a match at WrestleMania, so he goes to the train center where David Flair is at. He attacks him and leaves him bloody. Plus, Triple H is giving Stephanie McMahon all of her stuff back. She is very excited to get her favorite lotion back, so she puts it on. Later that night, we find out that Triple H had put something different in the bottle of lotion that made her break out in rashes everywhere. However, Stephanie gets her revenge in the main event Steel Cage match with Triple H vs Kurt Angle.⦁ Deadlock Discord: https://discord.gg/E4BvR4W ⦁ Deadlock Shop: https://shop.deadlockpw.com ⦁ Deadlock Patreon: https://patreon.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadlockwrestling ⦁ Deadlock Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Pro Wrestling: http://deadlockpro.com

Ever feel like your healing journey is stuck in a loop of disappointment even as you watch everyone else around you get better? And you wish you knew the secrets or even the mindset of successful clients who get results?The truth is, lasting relief from chronic skin issues like eczema and psoriasis often requires more than just finding the perfect supplement or diet tweak.Healing involves so much more than the collective “list of things to do” or supplements to take.It's also how you show up for yourself and collaborate with your practitioner.As someone who's walked this road both personally and professionally, I can tell you: healing is not linear.With trust, the right support, and a strategic mindset, it's absolutely possible to see progress.Since I work with adults and Jennifer Brand works with parents trying to guide their rashy children through the healing process, we thought that sharing the mindset of successful clients could be really insightful.In case you've not heard her on the show before, Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, LDN is a clinical nutritionist who helps babies and children with chronic rashes navigate the journey to healthy skin so they can enjoy a childhood free from disruptive skin symptoms.

Scalp psoriasis affects nearly half of those with psoriasis, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and challenging forms of psoriasis to get under control.If you're reading this, you might already know how awful the itching, flaking, and emotional toll can be. Especially as many medications for psoriasis don't seem to work nearly as well for psoriasis on your scalp.Unfortunately, many people assume their scalp issues are due to dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis when, in fact, they are dealing with something far more complex. Especially as the inflammation worsens, there's a greater risk that the hair thinning could turn out to become permanent hair loss.That's why I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jenny Bennett back on the Healthy Skin Show. Together, we unpack the complexities of scalp psoriasis AND talk about some really fascinating organisms that could be lurking on the skin that are helping to drive the problem.Dr. Bennett is a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist and founder of Aria Integrative Medicine, an autoimmune specialty clinic in Seattle, WA. She utilizes treatments from both Eastern and Western medical practices to find the best approach for treating autoimmune diseases. Dr. Bennett treats a wide variety of conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus and scleroderma.You might recall that Dr. Bennett has shared her knowledge with us in the past on Psoriatic Arthritis and Nail Psoriasis.If you're tired of the relentless itching, worried about thinning hair, or unsure where to begin, this scalp psoriasis episode is packed with actionable insights.Let's dive in!In This Episode:Scalp psoriasis versus plaque psoriasisThe link between scalp psoriasis + psoriatic arthritisKey differences between scalp psoriasis + seborrheic dermatitisHow both your skin + gut microbiomes play a critical role in scalp inflammationWhy hormonal changes + stress trigger scalp psoriasis flaresTreatment options – scalp psoriasis meds + remediesUsing UVB + red light therapy to help scalp psoriasisCan scalp psoriasis cause hair loss?Quotes“Scalp psoriasis is often mistaken for dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, but the key difference is in the texture—psoriasis feels dry, while seborrheic dermatitis feels oily.”“Psoriasis always starts with damage to the top layer of skin, which allows bacteria or fungi to get inside, triggering an immune response and creating plaques.”LinksFind Dr. Bennett online | Instagram | Facebook | TikTokHealthy Skin Show ep. 359: Finger + Toe Nail Psoriasis vs Fungus Infection (How To Tell The Difference)Healthy Skin Show ep. 336: Early Signs & Symptoms Of Psoriatic Arthritis (Don't Ignore These!)Research progress on the neutrophil components and their interactions with immune cells in the development of psoriasisScalp Psoriasis: A Literature Review of Effective Therapies and Updated Recommendations for Practical ManagementBacteria, Fungi, and Scalp Psoriasis: Understanding the Role of the Microbiome in Disease Severity

If you're not sure what is Topical Steroid Withdrawal… Imagine living through a condition so painful and misunderstood that it disrupts every aspect of your life, yet the medical community largely dismisses it.That's the reality of topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) that also creates life-altering health challenges making it extremely difficult to function, sleep or work; show up as a present partner or parent; or live a fun care-free life for kids with TSW.And it presents significant challenges for parents caring for children with TSW who may end up being threatened with having the authorities (or child protective services) called on them for refusing more steroids.As of today, Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome still isn't accepted by the medical community, often labeling those worried about TSW as “steroid-phobic.” Platforms like TikTok have given TSW warriors a voice thanks to millions of views for these videos, helping to raise awareness globally and sparking legislative efforts which document what causes TSW..In this eye-opening episode, filmmaker and advocate Briana Banos returns to share her journey and the powerful impact of her documentaries, Preventable, and the newly released follow-up, Still Preventable.Briana Banos is the creator of the first ever Topical Steroid Withdrawal documentary, Preventable, and the newly released TSW documentary, Still Preventable, which expands on her previous film. From anecdotal stories and doctor interviews, to the history of topical steroids and avenues of reform, Briana continues to shed light on this underrepresented subject.Her battle with TSW began after years of using topical steroids prescribed for eczema—a common treatment that left her dealing with a condition far worse than the original problem. Her first documentary, Preventable, brought awareness to a scattered and overlooked community. But as her own TSW journey stretched into its seventh year, Briana felt compelled to dig deeper, creating Still Preventable to highlight the systemic issues keeping this condition in the shadows and to empower others to use their voices.If you're ready to learn what is topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and discover ways to make a difference, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Let's dive in!In This Episode:The inspiration behind Still Preventable and why Briana felt compelled to create itWhat is topical steroid withdrawal and how it's misunderstood in medical settingsShocking historical facts about the FDA's role in approving topical steroidsWhy TSW is being updated to include the term “syndrome”What does being a “long hauler” mean in terms of TSWAdvocacy wins: how states like Florida and Maine are acknowledging TSWWhy telling YOUR TSW story helps shift narratives and drives changeHow to get your state to recognize what is topical steroid withdrawal (it's easier than you think)Long-term effects of untreated TSWTips to support individuals and families affected by TSWQuotes“We need to stop feeling helpless—if we use our voices together, we can push the needle forward and create change, even if it takes time.” – Briana Banos“The FDA told us, ‘This is not our problem—you need to bring it up with your doctor,' but patients shouldn't have to educate their doctors on adverse effects.” – Briana BanosLinksFind Briana Banos online | Instagram | YouTubeITSAN Advocacy Page: https://itsan.org/advocacy/

Most people who need help with nervous system regulation, don't realize that they need this type of help on their healing journey.So, have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, you're stuck in a cycle of frustration with your skin or health? Maybe you've diligently followed every protocol, adjusted your diet, and practiced mindset shifts—yet progress feels just out of reach. It's not your fault. In today's episode, we uncover why mindset alone isn't enough and how your nervous system could be the missing piece in your healing journey.I've long known that surface-level strategies like “positive thinking” or “stress management” don't actually do anything. Maybe you've noticed this too.So if you're familiar with “fight or flight” mode, then you likely know that staying in that state for an extended period is problematic for nervous system regulation.But what's missing from the conversation is “shutdown”… essentially a third state that is your body's ultimate protective mechanism—a state that often goes unnoticed because it doesn't require a catastrophic event to trigger it.Eliza Kingsford joins me for this episode that is perfect for you if you've ever been paralyzed by overwhelm or struggling to follow through with even the simplest self-care steps. Eliza is a licensed therapist who helps people experience breakthroughs using a unique combination of applied neuroscience and nervous system regulation training to guide her clients to permanent change, even if they've been struggling for decades.Because how balanced your nervous system is directly impacts chronic skin issues. This is why learning practical ways to shift your nervous system out of overwhelm and into a state of healing can be a significant step you need toward lasting progress.Let's dive in!In This Episode:The nervous system's role as the body's “control panel” for healing and balance.What most people don't realize about “Fight or flight” mode.How nervous system regulation that's out-of-balance can block mindset work from being effective.Signs that your nervous system is in overload or shutdown mode.The connection between nervous system health and chronic skin flares.Simple tools for nervous system regulation to reduce stress.How to manage your nervous system so it doesn't hit shutdownWhy addressing your nervous system is foundational to root-cause healing.Quotes“Your nervous system is your control panel—it governs everything you think, feel, say, and do. Without addressing it, true healing can't happen.”“It's not your mindset holding you back; it's your nervous system's ability to handle the load. Without tools to regulate it, even small stressors can feel overwhelming.”“Mindset hacks won't work if your nervous system is stuck in a protective state. You can't think your way out of a physiological response.”LinksFind Eliza online | InstagramGet Eliza's FREE Guide: Transform Your Life by Mastering Your Nervous SystemHealthy Skin Show ep. 361: How To Change Your Mindset (So Your Skin Doesn't Control Your Mood) w/ Brad BizjackHealthy Skin Show ep. 368: How To Create A Positive Mindset (Even If You Have A Negative Outlook Right Now) w/ Dr. Sue VarmaHealthy Skin Show ep. 297: Deconstructing Trauma + Chronic Skin Problems w/ MaryCatherine McDonald, PhD

If you've ever googled “leaky gut” or “leaky gut diet” because you've seen wellness experts claim that leaky gut is why your skin is a mess…This episode is for you.To be fair, there's a pretty big chance you have leaky gut.BUT, it's not a root cause of chronic eczema or psoriasis or any of the other skin issues we talk about on the show.Leaky gut syndrome (also known more formally as gut permeability) is caused by other factors. So while it's a problem, it's just not THE problem.So in today's episode I'm sharing an interview that I did on the Balanced Bites podcast hosted by Liz Wolfe where we got into this topic along with others that I know will hit home for you.It's my hope that this perspective will offer you some much needed insight about what's really causing skin problem.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Tara: My son is 14 Eats dairy free, gluten free, mainly a Mediterranean diet. Lots of fruits, veggies, meats and healthy fats. About a year ago he had a break out on his chin that I took him to the dermatologist for. They ended up putting him on antibiotics for two months and his face went from a few blemishes on the chin to all over his face. I made him stop taking the antibiotics and immediately got him on a broad spectrum probiotic. His face was good until about August of this year. Now the breakouts are cystic on his chin and all over his face. He is very regimented with his skin care. Do you think a GI map is needed ? I also have him on pantothenic acid, zinc, and vitamin d along with the probiotics. I should also mention he has zero GI issues     Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Is there anything in a natural preworkout supplement that can potentially damage gut lining or cause rashes along head, back, wrists, elbow creases etc? I've been using one that has caffeine, beta alanine, niacin, stevia, L citrulline, taurine etc. I initially thought it was either silicone or nickel from fitness watch that caused the itching and it somehow spread, but I've since stopped and it persists. Asking if any of those ingredients in excess are likely to spur issue. Thanks for all you do.     Rachelle: I suffer from Proctalgia fugax. It is a sharp rectal pain. It happened a lot during my pregnancies but now 20 years later, it's happening again. Do you have any recommendations or treatment ideas?     Shawn: Good Morning Dr. Cabral and Team! If you had to go back in time and treat yourself when you were at your worst ( I believe you had a plethora of issues brought on by reckless use of antibiotics), what would you do and in what order? Do you think one round of the CBO protocol would be enough when you were at your worst? What other protocols would you implement, and let's say you had a budget of 3K USD?

If you're curious to try a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), this episode is a must-watch!Blood sugar regulation and metabolic health are HOT topics right now, and considering that some skin issues (like psoriasis) make you prone towards having issues, I frequently have these conversations with clients.Being that I'm perimenopause with a family history of diabetes, I thought it would be a good idea to try a over the counter CGM monitor purely to gain insight into my blood sugar balance and metabolic health.The most frequent question is “is trying a continous glucose monitor worth it?”While using a CGM monitor is quite straightforward, I can see why someone might wonder about this. And while I went into my two-week experiment with a bit of skepticism, I discovered a few crazy important things that I couldn't have figured out any other way.So let's dive into why I do believe that a continuous glucose monitor can be a useful tool, who should (and shouln't) use this type of device, what the experience was like putting on and removing the CMG monitor, and what I wish I knew before I tried it the first time.Let's dive in!In This Episode:Who should (and shouldn't) try a continuous glucose monitorHow to use a CGM monitorWhat I learned about my blood sugar from using an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitorWhat NOT to do with a continous glucose monitor (I wish I knew this when I tried it the first time)How often should you use a CGM (if you're not diabetic)?CGM monitor tips: What's actually stuck to your arm?The over the counter continuous glucose monitor I triedQuotes“And the group of people who I think…should probably work with a nutrition or medical professional while using a CGM would be somebody who has a history of eating disorders…and those who have significant disordered eating patterns. If you feel like knowing that a particular meal or food is going to make you terrified to eat that food, don't do this on your own.”“The other thing that did seem to spike my blood sugar was when I didn't eat soon enough…if I just pushed through the hunger and pushed off eating in a window of time, that's when I would start to see my blood sugar spike on its own.”LinksUse THIS LINK to save $50 off of your first month on NutrisenseHealthy Skin Show ep. 217: Health Concerns Linked to Psoriasis (You SHOULD Know About)Healthy Skin Show ep. 347: Adult Hormonal Acne + Blood Sugar Dysfunction: What's The Connection?

There is power in having a positive mindset, even if you have a negative perspective right now.No, I'm not talking about toxic positivity, which encourages people to always look on the bright side (often ignoring or glossing over loss, pain, grief, etc.).I'm talking about practical optimism, a concept I learned about from the book Practical Optimism by Dr. Sue Varma.Practical optimism is a way to change your mindset that holds space for negative feelings and experiences, while equipping you with skills to deal with what you are facing and even possibly turn your challenges into opportunities.This may seem impossible, especially if you are dealing with mental health challenges as a result of debilitating chronic skin rashes. But I encourage you to give this episode a listen with an open mind!Joining me to discuss this concept and how to develop a positive mindset is Dr. Sue Varma who is a distinguished psychiatrist and cognitive behavioral therapist based in New York City. With over two decades of private practice experience, she has made significant contributions to the field of mental health, including serving as the pioneering Medical Director and Psychiatrist for the esteemed 9/11 mental health program at NYU for which she was awarded the Mayoral Proclamation. She's also the author of the book Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being.In This Episode:The devastating situation where Dr. Varma discovered optimismAre optimism and a positive mindset genetic?Toxic positivity practical optimismPessimism vs skepticism: what's the difference?Which personality type are you?The eight pillars of practical optimismHow to change your mindset even if you feel like you are “broken”How to know if you're emotionally dysregulatedBenefits of committing to therapyQuotes“A lot of times people dismiss optimism as a variety of things. It's woo-woo thinking, it's pollyannaish, it's very naive, it's toxic positivity, or it's something you're either born with or not. So why do we bother studying it? And what I found instead was that optimism, yes, there is a genetic component, but the reality is that only 25% of it is genetic. Seventy-five percent of it is learned.”“Practical optimism…says, ‘I invite space for your loss and your grief, but I'm also going to equip you with skills that will help you deal with what you're facing right now, but also in the future, and help you prevent some of the bad things that might be coming your way.'”LinksFind Dr. Varma online | InstagramGet Dr. Varma's book Practical Optimism HERE!Healthy Skin Show ep. 131: Mindset: What To Do When Nothing Seems To Help Your RashesHealthy Skin Show ep. 361: How To Change Your Mindset (So Your Skin Doesn't Control Your Mood) w/ Brad Bizjack

Wondering if you have a skin rash from mold? This episode is for you!If you or your child has a skin rash and you can't figure out the cause, you may start to look at mold illness or mold toxicity as a possible trigger.And if you suspect that you live or spend time in “fungally” environments with a high likelihood of mold, perhaps doing a mold test has crossed your mind.I'm often asked if mold testing is necessary or if a chronic skin rash (and other health issues) could be caused by mold. So in this episode, we'll discuss mold illness vs mold allergy, sneaky places mold likes to hide, signs of mold exposure, and much more.Joining me to talk about whether you've got a skin rash from mold is Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS. She's a clinical nutritionist who helps babies and children with chronic rashes navigate the journey to healthy skin so they can enjoy a childhood free from disruptive skin symptoms. As one of the most trusted pediatric skin-focused nutritionists, Jen is passionate about helping families get to the root causes of the problem through her unique method called Conquer Your Child's Rashes™.So let's dive in!In This Episode:Is your skin rash from mold (and how could you know for sure)?What is mold (and what's its relationship with candida)?How common are mold problems?Current mold exposure vs previous mold exposure (which matters more?)Crazy client stories with sneaky mold symptomsMold toxicity vs mold allergy (and what does mold testing show?)Surprising places mold hidesQuotes“I think one of the things that gets chased nowadays, and it's popular to go down this rabbit hole, is mold. Now, yes, it absolutely can be a problem and I have seen it be a problem. However, what I tell parents is that it really isn't the place to start.”“When it comes to mold testing, we are talking more about a mold toxicity, where the mold is in the person's body. That's what that's detecting, versus a mold allergy, which is like another environmental allergy. So you could be allergic to mold that's in the grass outside of your home.”LinksFind Jennifer Brand online | Instagram | Facebook | TikTokGOT RASHY KIDS?

What are topical steroids? Often prescribed for chronic skin conditions, I'll bet you've probably used them at some point during your treatment.Sure, they work quickly, but are they without side effects? To answer that question, we need to talk about glucocorticoids, which are hormones naturally produced by the adrenal glands as part of the stress response.Topical steroids fall under the glucocorticoids category, and due to those who've experienced something called topical steroid withdrawal, some people are described by physicians as “steroid phobic.”While there are serious downsides, glucocorticoids can have some incredible anti-inflammatory effects on various health conditions. That's why it's crucial for us to have a nuanced conversation about this!Dr. Luis Franco joins me to discuss everything you've wanted to know about topical steroids, types of glucocorticoids, and concerns about side effects from using topical steroids.Dr. Luis Franco is a Tenure-Track Investigator at the National Institute of Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). He was born in Colombia and grew up between Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States. He attended medical school in Colombia before returning to the United States, initially as a postdoctoral fellow at Duke University. Dr. Franco attended Baylor College of Medicine for specialty training in internal medicine and medical genetics. In 2014, he moved to the National Institute of Health (NIH).In This Episode:What are topical steroids versus glucocorticoids?Are topical steroids + glucocorticoids bad?Cortisone vs cortisol (and glucocorticoids examples by name)Side effects of glucocorticoidsWhat is topical steroid withdrawal?How glucocorticoids modulate your immune systemQuotes“Glucocorticoids exist naturally. They are hormones that are produced by our bodies. And they're produced by this very particular gland that's above our kidneys, that's called the adrenal gland or the suprarenal gland. And so our adrenal glands produce these chemicals called glucocorticoids. And those chemicals have many, many roles in biology and the one that is sort of best understood is that they are part of the stress response.”“I think the side effects that are important to know for topical glucocorticoids are one, something called skin atrophy, which is kind of a thinning of the skin that people notice when they've been applying glucocorticoids for a long time. Some people also notice little, kind of red, blood vessels that come up. These are called telangiectasias. These are like reddish blood vessels that become very visible on the skin of people who have used topical glucocorticoids.”LinksFind Dr. Franco onlineHealthy Skin Show ep. 344: NEW RESEARCH On Topical Steroid Withdrawal Symptoms + TSW Red Skin TriggerTopical Steroids Potency ChartImmune regulation by glucocorticoids can be linked to cell type–dependent transcriptional responsesGlucocorticoid-induced eosinopenia results from CXCR4-dependent bone marrow migration

If you've wanted to start growing your own sprouts, this is for you! I learned how to grow sprouts after becoming fed up with the expensive packages from the store getting slimy a day or so after buying them.I've continued to sprout different types of seeds and encourage clients to also do this, since sprouts (especially broccoli sprouts) are so good for your liver detoxification.So if you think that sprouting is hard to learn – it's not!In fact, it's so easy that my husband who doesn't even eat sprouts helps me. It takes less than a minute to care for them, and they add so much nutritional value to your meals.To help you learn more about how to grow sprouts in a jar, the difference between sprouts and microgreens, AND how to keep the mold and slime away, I'm joined by Doug Evans, who is considered to be an early pioneer in the natural food industry.In 2002, he co-founded Organic Avenue, one of the first exclusively raw, organic, and plant-based retail chains in the country. He then founded Juicero, the first fresh, farm-to-glass automatic cold-press juicer. Doug is now the founder of The Sprouting Company and lives in the Mojave Desert at Wonder Valley Hot Springs. He wrote The Sprout Book to teach people about the power of sprouts and how to start sprouting.So let's dive in!In This Episode:Why sprouts are so nutritiousHow to grow sprouts at home (to avoid the slimy store-bought ones)Difference between sprouts, shoots + microgreensBest method to grow sprouts (jar vs tray vs paper towel)Picking the right seeds to sprout to avoid glyphosate + low nutrientsFood-borne illnesses + sproutsHow to store sprouts so they last to avoid MOLD!Tips to add sprouts to your dietBeginner-friendly options to start your sprouting journeyQuotes“For me, there's nothing better, fresher, healthier than consuming sprouts that you get to grow on your own.”“So the sprouting seeds, you can have top shelf and bottom shelf. So just getting a seed from a bulk bin…in a grocery store. We don't know where it came from, we don't know how old it is, we don't know what it's been exposed to. So since we're using these seeds to grow food for you know ourselves and our family, we want to have the best.”LinksFind Doug online | Instagram | Instagram | TiktokGet Doug's book, The Sprout BookHealthy Skin Show ep. 177: Liver Detox – Skin Rash Connection, PT 1

Ever heard of immunoglobulins? While colostrum is experiencing a renaissance, you should seriously weigh the immunoglobulin supplement versus colostrum benefits.Partly because colostrum is a LOWER potency option, that sometimes isn't even standardized (depending on the brand) to guarantee how helpful it will be.That said, immunoglobulins (aka. IgGs) can be incredibly helpful for things like leaky gut (gut permeability), histamine intolerance, recovering from a stomach bug or food poisoning, and supporting your immune system during cold + flu season.Plus, I'm going to share why I prefer immunoglobulin supplements over colostrum, what the difference is between the two, and how to use them.Also, I want to how you how to avoid the fake, over-hyped colostrum + immunoglobulin supplements found online (even on Amazon)!Let's dive in!In This Episode:How I learned about the amazing benefits of immunoglobulin supplementWhy you should use immunoglobulinsDifference between immunoglobulins and colostrum benefitsHow do immunoglobulins work?Benefits of immunoglobulinsHow to take an immunoglobulin supplementBest immunoglobulin supplement + where to get itQuotes“[Immunoglobulins] were traditionally used and still are actually for more diarrhea-dominant problems. So if you've got a lot of loose soft stools, diarrhea, or even something like inflammatory bowel disease.”“IgGs can be found in the serum of your blood, and they also can be found in the serum of the blood of cows. And so historically, when people supplement with colostrum, that's derived from dairy, and it contains IgGs. So they are similar in that colostrum has IgGs and it's one of the major components that makes it so helpful, but it's not as potent.”LinksGET REAL, VERIFIED IMMUNOGLOBULINS HEREHealthy Skin Show ep. 188: Histamine Intolerance + Skin Rashes (PART 1)Healthy Skin Show ep. 192: Histamine Intolerance + Skin Rashes, PART 2

If you're over extreme diets or exercise (especially if you're in perimenopause or menopause),  metabolism-boosting foods such as higher protein intake with amino acids and creatine is a better way to go.This is especially important if you're currently struggling with hormonal or perimenopause weight gain that you just can't seem to lose!The shared challenge that many women face has a lot to do with confusing and mixed messaging you've been exposed to for decades – from counting calories and viewing “thinness” as your marker of being healthy to pretty extreme fitness routines that overtax your system and increase the risk of injury.So how should you eat and move to best prioritize your health?And what intelligent questions should you be asking about worthwhile changesFor example – Do fasting benefits that people rave about online apply to you (or could fasting make things worse)?Are the benefits of creatine for women true or overblown?We're answering these questions and more today to help you decide which metabolism-boosting foods to add and ways to see your pursuit of your best health with Liz Wolfe.

Gut parasites can be so frustratingly tricky to get a clear answer whether you have them or not.The topic of   and how they impact chronic skin issues is a fascinating once, especially since it's entirely possible to have parasites, but have NO gut symptoms.Additionally, it can be quite difficult to get accurate test results.So yes, it's worth exploring a parasite and skin rash connection, even if you live in what's considered a “first world country”.Certain skin symptoms (like hives) can be a significant clue, while other signs of gut parasites infection are sneakier (like certain nutrient deficiencies).Joining me to discuss all things gut parasites testing related is Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS.

Thinking about how to change your mindset might bring on eye rolls, but shifting how you view your annoying (or debilitating) symptoms can have a huge impact on your quality of life.No one is spared from things in life that cause suffering. And yes, living with chronic skin problems, including Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), can seriously damage your confidence and self-worth.I've often heard from clients that how their day will go is dictated by what their skin will decide to do. And while I understand the challenge inherent to the unpredictability of your skin, allowing external factors like your skin to have such enormous control over your mindset and daily experience sets you up for failure.And with time, you likely will start to feel victimized by your skin (and other symptoms) and rather powerless.Joining me to discuss mindset growth, healthier emotional habits, and more is Brad Bizjack.

If you're on the hunt for steroid-free itchy scalp remedy options to end the embarrassment and discomfort of flaky, itchy scalp problems, this episode is for you.From cradle cap in infants to itchy, crusty, flaky dandruff in adults, so many people feel like they've tried every dandruff treatment in the book. From medicated anti-dandruff shampoo to topical steroids and other medications, you know that eventually, the flaking, itching, and redness all return.This is because those treatments don't deal with the root of the issue, which is an imbalanced scalp microbiome, leading to an overgrowth of things like malassezia.AND a compromised skin barrier, which can be a trigger for the atopic march (food allergies, dry skin, allergic rhinitis, eczema, and asthma).Joining me to discuss how to get rid of dandruff, cradle cap removal, and her line of gentle scalp rebalancing products is return guest Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH. She is a Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a Clinical Attending at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.Dr. Gupta has over 20 years of experience as a board-certified pediatrician and health researcher and currently serves as the founding director of the Center for Food Allergy & Asthma Research (CFAAR).She is world-renowned for her research on the epidemiology, economic impact, prevention, and management of allergic conditions, and strives to find answers and shape policies surrounding these conditions in order to reduce burden and improve health equity.In This Episode:Why Dr. Gupta sought out an effective itchy scalp remedyWhat is cradle cap? (+ cradle cap removal options)Why scalp issues in babies could trigger food allergiesDandruff causes (+ how the scalp microbiome is involved)How Yobee hair products workThoughts on hair products causing MORE scalp inflammationWho can use Yobee products? (Can you use it for beardruff + beard care?)Quotes“So for the scalp, typically your cells should regenerate every month. And what happens when you have dandruff, it's happening more frequently and that's where you're getting those white flakes. So it's happening almost weekly. And what's causing that? So many things. So we all use different hair products now and a lot of the hair products have chemicals in it. And so what are those chemicals doing to disrupt the microbiome? You have to think about that.”“Eczema and the cradle cap and food allergies and allergic rhinitis and asthma, they're all connected. And so if you have one, you have a higher chance of having the rest. So those babies with eczema, just like my daughter, develop food allergies. But now we're seeing more and more, like a lot of the creams or, like you said, shampoos will have a food component and that could be causing that food allergy to start up because it's entering them through their skin.”LinksFind Dr. Gupta online | Instagram | Instagram | Facebook | Facebook | Twitter | TwitterFind Yobee online and on InstagramGet Dr. Gupta's book,

If you have discolored, yellow nails, you could be dealing with finger + toe nail psoriasis. Often, brittle, raised nails can be tricky to figure out what's going on especially when you consider how similar nail psoriasis vs fungus nail infections can look.Nail psoriasis actually forms under the nail bed and can be easy to miss! Eventually, though, the skin becomes red and inflamed, and the nail bed is damaged in the process.And if you have psoriatic arthritis, your risk of developing finger + toe nail psoriasis is greater than 70%! So it's crucial to know what the signs + symptoms of nail psoriasis as well as what nail psoriasis treatment options exist.I'm excited to discuss this with returning guest Dr. Jenny Bennett, a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and founder of Aria Integrative Medicine, an autoimmune specialty clinic in Seattle, WA. She utilizes treatments from both Eastern and Western medical practices to find the best approach for treating autoimmune diseases such as psoriatic arthritis, finger + toe nail psoriasis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma.In This Episode:What should a healthy nail look like?What is finger + toe nail psoriasis?Nail changes in eczema cases (How is this different?)Is nail psoriasis a psoriatic arthritis symptom?Finger + toe nail psoriasis vs Fungal nail infectionsNail psoriasis treatment optionsNutrients linked to healing nail psoriasisQuotes"You get this kind of inflammatory process, you don't always see it because it's under the nail. So it can be kind of red and inflamed, and it damages the nail bed. And then your body starts to just make all of these extra skin cells underneath the nail bed. And if you build up enough of them, it can cause damage to the nail, it can actually thin the nail or decrease it. But oftentimes it looks like it's thickening.”“Any kind of microbial changes will increase your risk of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriatic nail changes. So if you have a fungal infection, or even sometimes a bacterial infection, in the nail, it will increase the risk of psoriasis happening in that nail.”LinksFind Dr. Bennett online | Instagram | Facebook | TikTokHealthy Skin Show ep. 217: Health Concerns Linked to Psoriasis (You SHOULD Know About)Healthy Skin Show ep. 336: Early Signs & Symptoms Of Psoriatic Arthritis (Don't Ignore These!) w/ Dr. Jenny Bennett

Did you know that skin problems can be signs of hidden parasites-gut imbalances?And that if you have a skin rash like chronic hives, psoriasis, or eczema, the chances that you have gut parasites are quite high?In fact, some symptoms of parasites might seem totally unrelated to your skin or gut health. And my many years of clinical experience has proven over time that some people have no gut symptoms at all, even though they have gut parasites lurking under the surface.So if you've wanted to know how to know if you have parasites or “parasite hot spots” to be careful around – this is the episode for you!Joining me to demystify gut parasites in adults and children is Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, a clinical nutritionist who helps babies and children with chronic rashes navigate the journey to healthy skin so they can enjoy a childhood free from disruptive skin symptoms.

“Why am I so itchy?” If you have itchy skin without rash, including issues like eczema, psoriasis, or chronic hives, you might have neuropathic itch.Though itch is caused primarily by inflammation, neuropathic itch is actually caused by dysfunction of your nervous system!Put simply, this type of itch has no primary skin rash, so you won't see inflamed dry patches or welts. You'll only feel itchy.It is often localized to certain areas of the body. For example, you could have an itchy scalp, back, or arms. The itchy skin can sometimes be mild, but is unfortunately usually quite intense, leading to scratching, which can damage the skin.And because there's no treatment for neuropathic itch, despite it being very common, you might start to feel like there's no hope. Yes, what's causing this is not yet well understood, but it sounds like experts are digging into this.Joining me to discuss neuropathic itch is returning guest Dr. Shawn Kwatra. He is the Chair of Dermatology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He specializes in medical dermatology areas of clinical expertise, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, chronic itch of unknown origin and dermatology for ethnic skin. Dr. Kwatra also runs a basic science laboratory and clinical trials unit and is funded by the National Institutes of Health and multiple foundations.He currently serves as the National Secretary/Treasurer of the Skin of Color Society. He is a member of the National Eczema Association's Scientific and Medical Advisory Council.Dr. Kwatra has been an author or co-author on over 200 publications and author of the book Living with Itch.In This Episode:What is neuropathic itch (aka. itchy skin without rash)?How could your brain cause itchy skin without rash?Itch intensity of different examples of neuropathic itchTreatment options for neuropathic itchWhich inflammatory cytokines are involved?Could Low Dose Naltrexone help itchy skin without rash?Alternative therapies for neuropathic itchQuotes“[Neuropathic itch is] initiated or caused by dysfunction of the nervous system…so it actually is caused by the nerves. And the core symptoms here are that you have normal skin, or skin only with some secondary skin changes or signs of scratching, excoriation, and it oftentimes favors a localized distribution. And so the scalp is actually a very common site where folks itch.”“Unfortunately, a lot of the medications we use to treat this condition are very sedating. They're drugs that are focusing on the transmission of itch in the central nervous system and spinal cord like gabapentin or anticonvulsants. So those are the type of drugs that we're giving for this condition.”LinksFind Dr. Shawn Kwatra online here and here | TwitterHealthy Skin Show ep. 275: Why You're So Itchy (HINT: It's Probably Not Histamine) w/ Dr. Shawn KwatraHealthy Skin Show ep. 302: What Is Prurigo Nodularis: Triggers, Body Connections + Crazy Itch w/ Dr. Shawn KwatraHealthy Skin Show ep. 331: Eczema Symptoms-Skin Color Connection: Why Skin Tone May Make Certain Symptoms WORSE w/ Dr. Shawn KwatraHealthy Skin Show ep. 03
