Wondering if parasites are behind your skin or health issues? With social media buzzing about parasite cleanses, it's easy to feel confused (or even panicked).The truth is, not all parasites are harmful—some may even regulate your immune system.

And a poorly done parasite cleanse can backfire.Joining me is Robin Foroutan, MS, RDN, an integrative nutritionist and stealth pathogen expert, to help you separate facts from internet hype and explore whether parasites are part of your root cause puzzle.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Robin Foroutan online | Instagram - See all the references

Calling all Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) warriors – if you've wondered whether diet changes could help. The short answer? It might. While diet alone won't be a cure-all, many people have seen fewer flares and less pain by making specific changes.In this episode, I'm breaking down what we do know about the Hidradenitis Suppurativa diet connection, what's still unclear, and how you can start experimenting with a diet for HS without getting overwhelmed.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Master + optimize your liver detox

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Acne rosacea can feel like an unsolvable puzzle, especially when you've struggled with it for years. Alicia's story brings hope to anyone battling persistent skin conditions. After a decade of dealing with angry, red, burning skin following the birth of her third child, she finally found relief through homeopathic treatment.What makes Alicia's journey particularly compelling is her perspective on healing. Despite being self-conscious about her appearance—avoiding photos and cameras—she maintained unwavering faith that homeopathy would eventually provide answers. Her patience paid off when she began working with Melissa just six months ago and has already experienced dramatic improvements: no more burning, itching, or peeling, and significantly reduced redness that friends and family have noticed.During our conversation, Alicia shares her fascinating life traveling America in a converted school bus with her husband and six children. This intentional lifestyle mirrors her approach to healing—thoughtful, patient, and focused on long-term wellbeing rather than quick fixes. While conventional treatments like Accutane had temporarily suppressed her teenage acne years ago, they never addressed the root causes that resurfaced later in life during a stressful period.Listeners will appreciate Alicia's practical wisdom about natural skin care during healing. Rather than covering her rosacea with makeup, she opted for minimal, homemade products like olive oil, jojoba oil, and tallow cream. This allowed her skin to breathe while homeopathic remedies worked from the inside out.Whether you're dealing with acne, rosacea, or other chronic skin conditions, this episode offers valuable insights about the homeopathic healing process. As Alicia beautifully puts it, success comes when you "get that vision back and know where true healing comes from." Her story reminds us that with patience and the right approach, even long-standing skin problems can significantly improve.You may also gain Access to my Fullscript dispensary and save 30% by going to: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/mcrenshawFIND ME!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Bryan: Hi Dr C. A couple weeks ago I noticed a skin rash running up the side of my back and on both sides of my lower abdomen. I chalked it up as a fluke and it went away for a while. Until this morning. I figured out the culprit seems to be my portable steam sauna which I have in my room. I've been using a steam sauna for years and never had this happen before. Wish I could upload a photo but is there anything you could recommend for this kind of problem? It doesn't hurt, the skin just feels warm and looks red. Could it be Rosacea? Appreciate any insight. Best,                                                          Andy: Hey any idea how to cure eye floaters I haven't seen any protocols on how to cure them?                                            Deanna: Thank you for your informative podcast and for sharing your expertise. My two-year-old son has been diagnosed with Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) to oars, and I'm seeking guidance on potential triggers or the best approach to testing and managing this condition. For some context, he also has IgE-mediated food allergies to peanuts, certain tree nuts, and eggs and eczema so I thought the gut could be a place to start. I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations you may have. Thank you in advance for your help!                                                                     Lana: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for taking the time to answer the community questions, very much appreciate this gift. My daughter is 8 years old and I have found a couple of grey hairs in her head, root to tip. Why could this be?                                   Anonymous: In the last two years, I've been through all the protocols. Labs are looking good. Continually working on stress reduction. I sleep well, move a lot, eat a healthy diet with lots of grass fed/finished beef from our ranch, dark greens, try to eat the rainbow. I'm taking Cardio, Vision, Cell Boost, multi, omegas, balanced zinc, magnesium. I keep constantly get light headed every time i move too fast, winded easily, yawn a lot. After your episode on low iron, I just ran blood labs and my iron (29), ferritin (3), iron sat (7%) hematocrit (33.7%), hemoglobin (9.8), MCH (23.6), MCHC (29.1), RDW (19.6%), and Alk Phos (14) are all really low. I am not sure what else could be causing these low levels; I have struggled for many years. any advice is appreciated.

Peptides for skin and gut health are all the rage—but do they really work?From BPC-157 to KPV and GLP-1 meds like Ozempic, these compounds are gaining traction for their potential to calm inflammation, support leaky gut, and improve chronic skin issues (psoriasis and eczema).

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. With her background in naturopathic endocrinology and passion for root-cause healing, Dr. Brighten is here to help you better understand your hormones and take back control of your health.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dr. Jolene Brighten - http://www.drbrighten.com/- Book: Is This Normal? by Dr. Jolene Brighten - https://amzn.to/3gNiHIB- Beat Histamine Intolerance Masterclass - https://bit.ly/hist-intol-MC - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod - Fix your skin using Jennifer's method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

In today's episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we're getting up close and personal with an 8-legged creature that's probably living on your face right now (yep, really). We're diving into all things Demodex—a microscopic parasitic mite that lives in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, especially around the eyes. While most of us cohabitate peacefully with these tiny freeloaders, an overgrowth can trigger all kinds of skin and eye concerns, from blepharitis and ocular eczema to acne-like breakouts and rosacea flare-ups. We'll unpack the science behind Demodex overgrowth, how it can drive inflammation and contribute to skin conditions that often go misdiagnosed or mistreated, and what to look out for if you're dealing with stubborn rashes or redness around the eyes, nose, or cheeks. Of course, we'll also walk you through food-as-medicine strategies and functional tools—from supporting the microbiome to choosing the right topicals—to help get things back in balance. Tune in for the nitty gritty (literally) and leave empowered with new ways to support clear skin and resilient immune function from the inside out. Also in this episode:  What are Demodex mites and what do they do? Symptoms of mite overgrowth Risk factors for overgrowth The skin-gut-immune connection GI Immune Builder Research linking Demodex to rosacea Zhao et al.

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?

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. Michelle has a virtual private practice of 5 nutritionists where she and her team work one-on-one towards these goals. She is the host of the Quiet the Diet Podcast, where she helps listeners bridge the gap between body positivity and functional nutrition.If you've been searching for answers about your own body's unpredictable reactions or want to better understand these complex conditions, let's dive in!In This Episode:What's a “highly sensitive body” problem (that you'll be stuck with forever)?The role of mast cells as “guards” of your immune systemHistamine intolerance symptoms (and why a histamine intolerance diet doesn't help long-term)Histamine intolerance versus Mast Cell Activation DiseasesThe surprising link between MCAS, POTS, and hypermobility syndromeWhy POTS isn't a heart problemThe long COVID–histamine intolerance connectionPractical tips for managing symptoms histamine intolerance symptomsQuotes“Highly sensitive bodies often react in ways we don't expect—things that are supposed to be good for you, like healthy foods or exercise, can make you feel worse.”“Histamine issues don't just cause rashes or itchy skin; they can trigger severe insomnia, anxiety, and even psychosis.”LinksFind Michelle online | InstagramMichelle's podcast, Quiet the DietMichelle's Highly Sensitive Body Hub WaitlistHealthy Skin Show ep. 319: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: What is MCAS + Why It's So DevastatingHealthy Skin Show ep. 166: Mold + Histamine ConnectionReady 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/

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. Increased skin dryness) and overall skin barrier damage only make things worse!And this doesn't take into account possible decades of sun exposure (and damage) along with poor diet choices and more that can all play a role in aging.What can you do to support your skin?My guest today – Dr. Barbara Paldus – joins us to explore natural strategies to support skin barrier repair, helping your matrix of collagen for skin health and reducing skin inflammation.Dr. Barbara Paldus founded Codex Labs, developing biotech solutions for nearly every skin condition, approaching skincare from the inside out with a focus on the skin-gut-brain axis, which was inspired by her son's severe allergies to mainstream skincare products.With a Stanford Ph.D., Barb began her founder journey at Picarro, inventing a leading greenhouse gas detection system, then at Finesse Solutions, advancing biotech equipment for vaccine production, and ultimately finding herself on the other side of two successful exits, holding over 50 U.S. patents.Let's dive in!In This Episode:Surprising link between gut health + skin barrier functionWhy inflammation is more than a buzzwordHow genetics and filaggrin deficiencies play a role in eczemaSkin turnover rate in babies vs adultsWhat's M3?

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:    Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for your content and taking the time to answer my question! I have noticed improvements in my health with doing your detox and following the advice and protocols that you give. My question is about rosacea and any thoughts or tips to get rid of it. I haven't always had it, if popped up about 8 years ago. My lead level was high on my HMTA but I detoxed and got that level down to a safe range. I've tried eliminating all food sensitivities that were on my test. Tried doing the para protocol and working on my gut quite a bit, I've done your detox a few times etc. I have tried red light with infrared and without infrared (with infrared seems to make it worse). I have seen other improvements with my health with these interventions but am wondering what I could be missing?                                                          Eleazar: Hi there dr Cabral I am now a 21 year old male but last year when I was barley 20 years old I got a viral infection.im not sure what exact virus it was but at the time it seemed like any regular viral infection which everyone gets atleast once a year but around 1 week later I started to develop POTS and it hasn't gone away what do u think could be the cause I have done my own research and it seems like it's autoimmunity since it happened after a virus also 7 months prior I was also dealing with a lot of stomach issues especially nausea after eating literally most foods.if u have any info on this it would help thank you.                                                                                                                                                  Ann: Just listened to your coffee podcast – I listen every day while I do my exercise. I'm 70, 4'11”, active, 100 lbs. and discovered you about 18 months ago – I'm hooked!! I like my coffee first thing in the morning while I do my bible readings and meditation. I never had an issue but then you mentioned it could relate to thyroid issues which I have. (hypothyroidism) BUT I drink my coffee fairly weak, 1 tbsp in a large cup and only 1 cup a day, I put in a scoop of collagen and a tsp of raw honey, sometimes manuka, and a dash of salt. Does that make drinking coffee less harmful first thing in the morning? Also, have you any research on using hydrogen water for drops in eyes for dry eyes? PS i did the big 5 - still working on it :|                                                                                                                                                           Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral -I have a friend whose 2 1/2 year old has always struggled to nap/sleep regularly. They've tried epsom salt baths, they don't let him watch TV much at all, especially from afternoon on. She is part of this community and follows your protocols, even with her son - eat clean with very little gluten, dairy, etc., use clean products for laundry, bathing, etc. The only thing I have thought about are EMF's. They have lots of Wi-Fi throughout the home, Google controlled lights, etc. and they work from home with lots of monitors, etc. I know you've talked about EMF's in the past, suggested EMF meters and products such as Somavedic. Would you recommend that for the toddler's bedroom? They have a baby monitor and wireless sound machine in the room. Other recommendations? Thank you!!                                         Jen: What are your thoughts on weighted vests?  Particularly for perimenopausal and menopausal women?

“Is melatonin bad for you?” is the most common question I get whenever I suggest melatonin.They've heard on a podcast (or read on a blog) the dangers of melatonin.And how you can become addicted to melatonin, wrecking your own body's ability to produce it if you take melatonin supplements.I totally understand the concern – no one wants to shut down their own melatonin production.If you've been convinced that this melatonin side effect is real – you've been duped.And in today's episode, you'll discover WHY this claim is not only false, but physically impossible.For everyone wondering “is melatonin bad for you?,” you're about to discover why melatonin is so powerful and much more than just a sleep aid. Its potential for regulating your body goes far beyond sleep given that it's produced in your skin and your gut.My guest today – Dr. Deanna Minich – has extensively studied melatonin to uncover its hidden potential to transform your health.Deanna Minich, PhD, is a nutrition scientist, educator, and author, with over twenty years of experience in academia and in the natural product industries, currently serving as Chief Science Officer at Symphony Natural Health. She has been active as a functional medicine clinician in clinical trials and in her own practice (Food & Spirit™).She is the author of six books on wellness topics, four book chapters, and over fifty scientific publications. Through her talks, workshops, groups, and in-person retreats, she helps people to transform their lives practically and artfully through nutrition and lifestyle.Today we'll cover a lot of ground so you can get the full picture of melatonin benefits!Let's dive in!In This Episode:What melatonin is and how it's produced in the bodySurprising discovery of melatonin in 1958Melatonin as a potent antioxidantHow melatonin supports brain detox during sleep (impacting neurodegenerative diseases risk)Melatonin role in gut health, immune function, and mitochondria healthIs melatonin bad for you and can melatonin supplements be addictive?Is melatonin in pregnancy safe?Melatonin dosing tipsWhat foods naturally contain melatonin?Quotes“Melatonin is not just a sleep molecule—it's an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective powerhouse.” – Dr. Deanna Minich“One molecule of melatonin can quench up to 10 free radicals, making it more potent than vitamin C as an antioxidant.” – Dr. Deanna MinichLinksFind Dr. Minich online | Instagram | FacebookHealthy Skin Show ep. 105: Can Melatonin Help Itchy Skin (So You Can Sleep)?Melatonin and brain barriers: The protection conferred by melatonin to the blood-brain barrier and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrierMelatonin as a master regulator of cell death and inflammation: molecular mechanisms and clinical implications for newborn careMelatoninMelatonin – RxList

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. 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 Rashes Be Gone.Dive in with us now!In This Episode:Why mindset and trust are crucial for long-term healing successHow parents can help their kids overcome setbacks with chronic skin issuesWhy focusing on “one magical fix” can slow your progressCommon traits + mindset of successful clientsHow to stay motivated when healing feels like a slow processThe importance of asking for help and collaborating with your practitionerThe dangers of comparison and unrealistic expectations from social mediaQuotes“The most successful clients are those who view obstacles as opportunities to troubleshoot, not reasons to give up.” – Jennifer Fugo“We're not looking to put someone in a bubble; the goal is to make the body more resilient so it can handle everyday challenges.” – Jennifer BrandLinksFind Jennifer Brand online | Instagram | Facebook | TikTokRashes Be Gone Program (For Kids + Babies)Healthy Skin Show ep. 361: How To Change Your Mindset (So Your Skin Doesn't Control Your Mood)Healthy Skin Show ep. 131: Mindset: What To Do When Nothing Seems To Help Your RashesHealthy Skin Show ep. 350: What Drives Itchy Skin In Kids (And Natural Childhood Eczema Treatment Options To Stop It)

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.

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.

In this engaging conversation, Joy McCarthy shares her personal journey from struggling with health issues to becoming a nutritionist and skincare expert.  She emphasizes the importance of self-worth in health, discusses her experience with rosacea, and highlights the role of diet and lifestyle in skin healing.  Joy also delves into her philosophy on skincare product development, advocating for a simplified routine that prioritizes hydration and skin health.  The discussion concludes with insights on community support and the ongoing journey of health and wellness.   Takeaways Joy's journey into wellness began with her own health struggles. Self-worth is crucial for making lasting health changes. Many people tolerate poor health due to a lack of self-worth. Healing is a continuous journey, not a one-time fix. Diet and lifestyle play significant roles in skin health. Rosacea is a common but often misunderstood condition. Skincare should focus on hydration and maintaining the skin barrier. Natural products can still irritate sensitive skin if not chosen carefully. Community support is vital for health and healing journeys. Simplifying skincare routines can lead to better results.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 04:20 Joy's Healing Journey 07:19 The Role of Self-Worth in Health 09:57 Navigating Skin Health and Rosacea 12:35 Understanding Rosacea and Its Challenges 16:57 The Impact of Diet and Lifestyle on Skin 19:38 The Journey to Finding Effective Skincare 22:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 30:13 The Journey to Healing Skin 33:41 The Importance of Holistic Approaches 34:29 Understanding Skincare Ingredients 40:25 Simplifying Skincare Routines 46:33 Aging Gracefully and Compassionately 49:36 Life Lessons and Personal Growth   Stay Wild.

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.

You don't need to go do a test for it.”LinksREGISTER NOW – Fix My Gut Workshop series starting January 8th!Healthy Skin Show ep. 305: Eliminations Diets, Food Fear + Healing Skin Rashes {NEW RESEARCH}Healthy Skin Show ep. 356: Troubleshooting Candida In Stool Tests (+ Other Labs)Healthy Skin Show ep. 275: Why You're So Itchy (HINT: It's Probably Not Histamine)Healthy Skin Show ep. 279: Chemical That Triggers Eczema (Oh My!)Before you try yet another skin cream, diet or supplement to fix your skin… I'm hosting a free workshop series on Wed, January 8th at 7pm ET / 4pm PT to help you identify your skin rash root causes AND create a plan to beat the hidden inflammation driving your skin nuts.Save your seat at www.RebuildHealthySkin.com

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.

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:    Kenzie: My mom recently got a colonoscopy and they found very large polyps. They removed them but said it's genetic. Any other cause of this? Root causes?     Anonymous: Good Morning Dr. Cabral! As someone who travels alot and travels abroad sometimes, how do you travel with your supplements? I have an upcoming trip in May out of the country and am worried about Customs causing an issue about me packing my supplements (a 7-day vitamin pill tray with my daily vitamins, plus a bottle of Magnesium powder, and a bottle of protein powder). I really want to be able to feel my best and still prioritize my health while traveling. Do you have any advice or experience traveling internationally through Customs with your supplements?     Pati: Hi Dr Cabral Back in 2021 I ended up getting Bells Palsy from extreme stress. To this day my face is not symmetrical as the muscles on my unaffected side are much stronger than my affected side and I'm assuming the nerve damage that probably won't repair at this point. I don't want to get Botox injections but was wondering what other suggestions you may have. I have tried acupuncture and different stretches but I did develop synkinesis which is causing asymmetry. I try to count my blessing but am having a hard time. I miss my smile and who I used to be before this. Do you have any suggestions for me as far as healing? I appreciate any advice. Grateful for all you do!     Diane: Is there a way that I can get rid of rosacea?     Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral- thank you for all the lives you are changing :). What is your opinion on a clean nut milk, used just in coffee? I know nuts and seeds oxidize when they are made into oils and I was wondering about your opinion on when they are turned into a "milk", specifically macadamia nut milk? I stay away from cows milk and almond milk since I am somewhat sensitive to them.

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.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Teo Soleymani, M.D., a double-board-certified dermatologist and specialist in skin cancer and reconstructive surgery. We discuss science and clinically supported protocols to improve skin health and give your skin a more youthful appearance and structure, reducing premature aging and skin cancer risk. We discuss the impact of sun exposure on skin appearance and aging and the surprising relationship between sun exposure and skin cancer. We explain how mineral-based (inorganic) sunscreens differ from chemical (organic) sunscreens, whether sunscreen can minimize premature skin aging, reduce cancer risk, and if there are any health risks associated with sunscreen use. We discuss skincare routines to significantly improve skin appearance and how to select skincare products. We discuss how caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and stress impact the skin and describe how nutrition and anti-inflammatory diets can improve skin health. We also discuss the causes and treatments for common skin conditions, including dandruff, acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and vitiligo. Our conversation also covers topics such as the use of retinoids, laser treatments, red-light phototherapy, supplements, and how to best monitor for skin cancer. This episode provides numerous actionable protocols, most of which are zero-to-low cost, for improving skin health and appearance, reducing cancer risk, and treating skin problems.
