Do you feel like you get crazy histamine intolerance symptoms as your body reacts to everything — certain foods, smells, stress, or even the weather? Symptoms such as itchy skin, rashes, dermatographia, angioedema, bloating, or headaches that seem to appear out of nowhere are often linked to histamine intolerance.But before you blame your diet and dive headfirst into a low-histamine diet, know that food isn't likely to blame. After working with over 1,000 clients, I can tell you that there are deeper, more pressing issues that drive urticaria and chronic hives.Let's dive into why you probably don't have histamine intolerance (despite having all the symptoms), how histamine intolerance differs from MCAS, and what's really triggering these crazy histamine reactions. From mold exposure to liver detox issues and hormone imbalances, we explore how these hidden factors can lead to ongoing inflammation and itchy skin that just won't quit.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- FREE Root Cause Finder Guide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/rootcauseguide-pod - See all the references
Why does your dermatologist want you to throw out your doona immediately? Why do nurses desperately need you to stop lying about how that foreign object got stuck inside you? And, what is the real reason for your recurrent vaginal infections? In this episode, we speak to Rodney Sinclair, Professor of Dermatology at The University of Melbourne, to tackle the confusion between dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. He explains the genetic origins of eczema, why most people stop their treatment too soon and he shares his theory on why your choice of bed cover might be aggravating your itchy skin. We cover everything from if it is really possible to “grow out” of eczema, the difference between treating a flare-up and maintaining remission and why five-minute lukewarm showers are a non-negotiable. Plus, Dr Mariam and Claire deliver a crucial PSA on behalf of nurses and doctors everywhere regarding foreign objects being put where the sun doesn’t shine. And, in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam answers a frustrated listener’s question about recurrent thrush and Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) - and if their partner could be unknowingly reinfecting them…THE END BITS All your health information is in the Well Hub.

Is it just an eczema (atopic dermatitis) flare or could it be something else?

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

Holaaa :) en el episodio de hoy tengo el placer de charlar con el Dr. José Luis Ramírez, médico especialista en dermatología, con amplia experiencia en el tratamiento del acné, la rosácea y en el uso de terapias con láser.A lo largo del episodio abordamos los motivos más frecuentes por los que personas de entre 25 y 65 años acuden hoy al dermatólogo, y cómo el estrés, la contaminación ambiental o la exposición solar influyen directamente en la salud de la piel.Hablamos también de las diferencias más notables entre la piel femenina y masculina a lo largo de las distintas etapas de la vida, y de cómo adaptar el cuidado de la piel a cada edad.Entramos en el mundo de los láseres dermatológicos: por qué una misma tecnología puede emplearse para acné, manchas, arrugas o flacidez, qué tipos de láser son más efectivos según la indicación, qué expectativas son realistas antes de iniciar un tratamiento y cómo minimizar los riesgos. Además, comparamos los tratamientos con luz azul e infrarroja con los láseres y analizamos en qué casos pueden ser complementarios.Además, y en línea con la gran experiencia de José Luis, dedicamos una parte importante del episodio al acné: desde su abordaje en la edad adulta hasta los tratamientos tópicos, complementos alimenticios, terapias con láser y fármacos más eficaces. El Dr. Ramírez nos explica cuánto tiempo es recomendable mantener tratamientos como la isotretinoína y si, una vez finalizados, los cambios en la piel pueden llegar a ser duraderos.Por último, compartimos consejos prácticos sobre tres pilares básicos para cuidar la piel a partir de los 25, los errores más comunes que conviene evitar, los complementos más útiles para la salud de la piel así como otras medidas del estilo de vida con el mayor impacto positivo sobre la piel.Los datos de Jose Luis por si quereis contactar con el y pedir cita: Dermatólogo en IMR, Madrid Director de la Unidad de Cicatrices.

What if the real game-changer for your gut and skin health isn't probiotics or diet… and is even BETTER than colostrum?In this episode, I'm joined by Brian Kaufman to explore how a colostrum-free immunoglobulin binder can target gut toxins, support gut repair (especially if you've got leaky gut), and calm inflammation — perfect for those struggling with chronic gut and skin issues as well as food sensitivities.If you've felt stuck and reactive to more and more foods, this could be the missing link!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Get my fav dairy-free IgGs to boost your gut protocol
Could your fatigue, bloating, or random skin rashes be more than “just stress” or IBS? You might be shocked to learn they could actually be signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or even colon cancer — yes, it's possible without having obvious digestive symptoms.It's unfortunately common to discover that you have Crohn's or ulcerative colitis in your 60s, and not because of gut issues… but during a routine colonoscopy screening. Others are misdiagnosed for years while battling brain fog, thyroid problems, skin issues like psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, or even unexplained anemia — all while the real problem quietly worsens.I'm joined by Dr. Ilana Gurevich, a naturopathic gastroenterologist who specializes in complex GI disorders. We dive into the hidden signs of IBD, how it differs from IBS, sneaky signs of colon cancer (especially with skyrocketing rates), and the TRUTH about colonoscopies – why you should absolutely stop putting it off and never use a stool test for gut health as a replacement.If you've been brushed off, gaslit, or still searching for answers, you don't want to miss this.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

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

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Dallas/Fort Worth–based dermatologist Todd Plott, MD, for an in-depth discussion on the first extended-release formulation of minocycline approved for rosacea. The conversation begins with a historical look at tetracyclines, tracing back to tetracycline in 1953, doxycycline in 1968, and minocycline in 1971. While traditionally used as broad-spectrum antibiotics, these agents have shown efficacy in rosacea primarily due to their anti-inflammatory activity rather than antimicrobial effects. They review head-to-head clinical data showing that extended-release minocycline, commercially available as Emrosi, significantly reduced inflammatory lesions and improved Investigator Global Assessment scores in patients with moderate-to-severe rosacea, outperforming both modified-release doxycycline and placebo. The trial population averaged 25 papules per patient, demonstrating the robust improvement required for trial success. A key point of discussion is minocycline's narrow therapeutic window. While higher doses have raised concerns about adverse effects such as hyperpigmentation and lupus-like drug reactions, pharmacokinetic data show that extended-release dosing achieves lower systemic exposure with fewer safety issues compared to immediate-release formulations. Dr Plott contextualizes this by noting that dermatology indications require far lower doses than in infectious disease, which helps explain the rationale for the extended-release formulation in rosacea. Tune in to the full episode to learn more about how extended-release minocycline and anti-inflammatory dosing fit into current rosacea treatment options, what the latest evidence shows about its efficacy and safety, and how clinicians can gain refreshed perspectives on this long-standing therapy.
Is forgetfulness just a normal part of aging—or could it be the early signs of dementia?After watching a loved one slowly lose their ability to speak, eat, and remember who they were, I knew I had to find answers.

You’ve layered on dark spot serums and SPF like it’s your full-time job… and yet those spots are still hanging around. Why is pigmentation so stubborn, and what can skincare actually do about it? In this episode of Expert, we break down everything you need to know about treating pigmentation, from sun damage, hormonal changes, PIH, and melasma, to figuring out which type you have.

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

Early research shows they may impact key inflammatory pathways—and even improve HS symptoms (including painful skin boils) without major weight loss.But big questions remain: How do they interact with current HS treatments? Who can prescribe them?

It's official—I'm no longer gluten-free.After 16 years of strict adherence (and evangelizing about the benefits of a gluten free diet), I've reintroduced gluten into my life. It's been a surprising and liberating part of my healing journey.In this episode, I share my personal story of overcoming fear around gluten and offer guidance for those considering reintroductions—especially if you're gluten-sensitive.FYI – this isn't advice for anyone with Celiac or a wheat allergy. But if you've got gluten sensitivity and find yourself questioning long-held food restrictions, this episode is for you.Because healing isn't always about cutting more out—it's about reclaiming what truly nourishes you.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references
Histamine intolerance is typically mild, but Mastocytosis is the most severe form of mast cell disorder—often taking nearly a decade to diagnose.

She directs the renowned Mastocytosis Center and the Drug Hypersensitivity and Desensitization Center.Even if you have histamine intolerance or MCAS, this episode offers key insights on histamine, testing, and finding real relief—because no one should suffer needlessly.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Connect with Dr. Castells at https://bit.ly/3ItFhU2 - Histamine Overload Masterclass

It’s gentle but effective, great for acne, rosacea, pigmentation, and sensitive skin, with fewer side effects than retinol or exfoliating acids.

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

Dr. Sethi also shares an advanced option: microneedling with “skin Botox” to reduce flushing and rebuild skin integrity.
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
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

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.

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 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.
