As anyone who has worked with me in my clinical practice may know, I feel very strongly about monitoring thyroid function and trying to optimize it. Plus, I get questions ALL the time surrounding it. Because of that, I am so excited to have an expert on the thyroid, Dr. Eric Balcavage, on this episode to talk about this important topic. Dr. Eric Balcavage is a functional medicine practitioner, chiropractor, host of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, and the co-author of the book, The Thyroid Debacle. The book co-written by Kelly Halderman MD, addresses the problems with current allopathic and functional medicine approaches to hypothyroidism as well as the solutions to restoring thyroid physiology. Dr. Balcavage is also the owner and founder of Rejuvagen, a functional medicine clinic in Chadds Ford, PA. As a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and being Board Certified in Integrative Medicine, he is a nationally recognized speaker and educator on various health related topics including thyroid physiology, bile physiology, detoxification, oxidative stress, methylation and chronic illness. He has made it his mission to change the way medicine looks at hypothyroidism. If you're suffering with a skin condition, have you checked into thyroid function? Were you surprised by it? Let me know in the comments below! In this episode: What does it mean for your thyroid to not be working the way that it should? What can cause a cell to perceive danger and affect its function? The difference between the body having dysfunction vs. creating an adaptive response Dr. Balcavage's opinion on having Hashimoto's- is it different than having any other thyroid problems? The elephant in the room- why should you even care about your thyroid if you're having skin issues?? FREE things to do to reduce stress responses in your body which affect the thyroid and skin health Finally...Which diet is best? (It's probably not what you think!) Quotes “If we have a population that's about 50% overweight or obese and if about 50% of the population has some type of blood sugar regulation issues going on, then the number of people that struggle with problems with thyroid signal physiology and tissue or cellular hypothyroidism is probably closer to 50 or 60%." [05:17] "What's the biggest organ to dump stuff out if you have a bad gut, bad liver, and bad gallbladder? Skin is one of the best places to dump it out. If you have an immune inflammatory issue, you're producing a bunch of inflammatory chemicals that are going to have an impact on the skin."

Today, it's all about the eyes, which are somewhat the extension of our brain, so treating ANY condition with them can be scary. I've gotten a lot of questions from listeners about dupilumab (Dupixent) and the side effects specifically when it comes to the eyes. So to dive in on this topic, I brought in today's guest, Dr. Roselie Achten, since her PhD focuses on ocular surface disease in atopic dermatitis patients before and during dupilumab treatment. Dr. Roselie Achten is a medical doctor and PhD student at the Department of Dermatology at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands, and I am so excited to have her on the show! You can find some of her research findings in the links section below. Have you ever experienced any side effects with your eyes after starting dupilumab? I'd love to hear about it in the comments! In this episode: Stats on how many patients develop Dupixent eye side effects (aka. dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease) Eye symptoms of patients commonly complain about How long does it typically take to develop eye problems from Dupixent? What puts you more at risk for developing Dupixent eye side effects? What are your options if you develop Dupixent eye side effects? Can reducing the use of Dupixent help? Quotes “We were also quite surprised by the fact that the majority of the patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis already had characteristics of the ocular surface disease. So of the 70 patients that were analyzed, 90% of them already had characteristics of ocular surface disease before the start of Dupilumab treatment." [11:09] "If patients have these signs and symptoms of dupilumab associated ocular surface disease, we first start with tacrolimus skin ointment for the external eyelids. We also start with ketotifen, which is an antihistamine eye drop... also the artificial tears, it's more for if you experience a dry eye sensation, it could lead to improvement of that symptom for a little time."

There are SO many causes to itch. Each person's skin condition is truly unique. My guest today, Dr. Shawn Kwatra, is deep in the trenches with research varying from what causes itchiness to the gut microbiome could be a major causes for things like eczema and psoriasis. Shawn Kwatra, MD is a Director of the Johns Hopkins Itch Center and an Associate Professor of Dermatology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD, USA. He specializes in medical dermatology areas of clinical expertise include 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. Dr. Kwatra has been an author or co-author on over 200 publications and author of the book Living with Itch. Have you tried any outside-the-box therapies to stop your itchiness? Let me know in the comments what worked for you! In this episode: Breaking down the itch cycle in your body Tips to STOP the itch + disrupt the itch signal Why histamine is NOT always the cause of itchiness or eczema Sedating vs. non-sedating antihistamines (pros + cons) How your vagus nerve connects gut problems to itch (FASCINATING) Latest research on IL-31 (the "master conductor of itch") What happens when you don't get relief from itchiness (especially long-term) Why you can't "just stop scratching" Quotes “There was a study showing that even vagal nerve stimulation can actually alter itch sensation, and one of the new frontiers in inflammatory skin diseases is looking at alterations in the gut microbiome as well... I believe some of these bacterial specials, viral species, fungal species, may be signaling through the vagus nerve to help propagate itch sensation." [16:27] "The studies that have been done today across many different indications have shown that IL-31 (cytokine) blockade is one of the most potent, if not the most potent anti itch medicines and inhibitory factors that exist. And so monoclonal antibodies targeting this agent are in deep late phase development."

It can be helpful to hear from others going through the same struggle or journey as you. My guest today shares her powerful story of determination and never giving up on finding the root cause for her rashes which started in childhood. Ashley Ann Lora, today's guest, was diagnosed with eczema (atopic dermatitis) as a baby. She suffered a lot growing up due to lack of education and awareness of management tips and treatment options. In 2016, Ashley began sharing her story publicly and turned patient advocacy into her career. Now, she works with brands, pharma companies, and healthcare organizations to help them better understand the eczema community.

How she when from hating her eczema to loving her eczema What is the "work" that went into mentally dealing with her flareups? What does healing look like now for Ashley? Quotes “My eczema and my body is really trying to support me. It's not trying to harm me. It's trying to support me in getting to the root cause of my inflammation." [06:55] "How I deal with my eczema is the same way of how I deal with my partner, how I deal with my friends, how I deal with my family. And I think that's the big switch that many people may or may not realize is how you treat your eczema could be a correspondence to how you treat other people and more importantly how you treat yourself." [10:36] "There are a lot of people who are walking around with clear skin who are not happy, which goes back to show that clear skin does not equate to happiness. So what does make us happy outside of clear skin?"

I came across Toni a few days ago and I realise she was different, different from other coaches on Instagram I get to see everyday. So I contacted her and luckily I received an email back with a positive response. She was born in Germany and moved to the US. She was a dancer and dance teacher. Then she moved to the US and became the lead Athlete in 2021 for 1st Form Supplements. Having skin issues (Vitiligo) she was very shy and would hide her skin but later realised that this what makes her different from others. You will definitely enjoy this episode.

If you've been seeing more online about doing a low histamine diet to help your skin rash problems, you're not alone. I'm also seeing this happen on the clinical side of things – clients previously been advised by practitioners to reduce high histamine foods because of itchiness in the hopes that their rashes would improve. This might explain why I frequently get messages + emails asking me if a low histamine diet would be a helpful next best step. Rather than writing out a lengthy response to each person (because a one word response is no where near sufficient), I figured it was time to share my thoughts. My answer often surprises people because it's not what they'd expect. So that's what I'm digging into today with the hope that the nuance will help you make a more informed choice for yourself about whether a low histamine diet is worth a try (or not). In this episode: Helpful criteria to figure out if doing a low histamine diet would be worthwhile Biggest problems with a low histamine diet (no one tells you ahead of time) List of chronic skin issues that might improve How strict do you need to be on the diet to get results? Should you stay on a low histamine diet for life? Quotes: Certain types of rashes will likely improve moreso with a low histamine diet such as chronic hives, urticaria, dermatographia, angioedema, and histamine-driven eczema. As a rule of thumb, more food restrictions in general do not necessarily equate to being healthy.

I'll be direct. Anything and everything to do with food allergies seems to be kind of confusing. I'm hoping today to demystify some of the questions and thoughts and ideas from the patient side of things around allergies and allergy testing, specifically. Today's guest, Dr. Stacy Silvers is a board-certified allergist specializing in environmental and food allergy diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Dr. Silvers oversees Aspire's allergy program and protocols, and also leads the food allergy and oral immunotherapy (OIT) program at Aspire Allergy & Sinus. Dr. Silvers is considered an expert in the field of food allergy diagnosis and treatment. Join us as Dr. Silvers discusses all things relating to food allergies, diagnosis and treatment! What do you have experience with? Is it patch testing, skin prick, intradermal testing, blood test... the whole nine yards? Let me know in the comments what has worked for you and if your diagnosis was a game-changer! In this episode: Food sensitivities vs. food allergies The differences between allergen testing -- blood, patch + skin prick Which medications interfere with allergy testing results Why you could develop a food allergy despite eating it before without any issue Thoughts on removing foods to figure out a food allergy Quotes “That's one of the benefits of (skin prick) testing is you get quick results, usually before you even walk out the door. So that test is very good for nasal allergies, food allergies, anaphylactic type reactions." [05:31] “When we compare prick testing and the lab testing, the sensitivity is about 75% with the blood test compared to the prick test. So if we can do the prick test, we prefer to go that route. But we can't always do the prick test. You have to be off certain medications in order to do the prick testing reliably."

Have you read online that going plant-based or carnivore will totally heal your skin? I'm sure you've probably come across this type of information on social media or in chat forums where people swear that what worked for their skin is the magic answer for everyone. To be honest, I have intentionally steered clear of this topic for a long time now because I wasn't sure how to cover it. I've certainly been pitched by staunch proponents of each diet to share their opinion here on the Healthy Skin Show about why their diet approach is best. But my concern is that these conversations can be incredibly one-sided and, even at times, emotionally manipulative. Diet is so deeply intertwined with what makes you who you are physically, emotionally and mentally. So I wanted to find a way to share my clinical thoughts on both of these very popular diet trends without the dogma. AND while also being clear about my personal diet bias (based on my current clinical experience and how I personally eat). My hope is that the insights shared here will help you make a more informed decision that truly is best for you, rather than an emotional choice that doesn't center you in the equation. In this episode: Plant-based vs Carnivore diet – which is better in my opinion? My clinical diet bias (so you can keep this in mind) Pros + cons of a plant-based diet Why plant-based diets may improve your rashes Pros + cons of a carnivore diet Why going carnivore could improve your rashes My thoughts on diet dogma (especially as a nutrition professional) Quotes: I believe that each person bears the responsibility of figuring out the best way to support their body from a dietary standpoint. No one should be bullied or shamed for their dietary preferences or choices.

In this episode of Perspectives, I chatted with April Holowka from Charlotte, NC. We discuss managing our various health challenges and ways we can take care of our physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

In this episode, Lindsey speaks with Amara Aleman, who her Instagram and TikTok followers know as Amara ArtSpots. Following a vitiligo diagnosis back in 2017, Amara hid her body away, staying home and covering up with makeup and long sleeves. Here, she and Lindsey discuss using self-care to reclaim one's identity, building a support system and taking good risks to propel one's self-acceptance forward.

If you've thought that there is an official eczema trigger foods list you should follow… Think again. These lists are often made up of arbitrary foods that may or may not be a problem for you. Often these lists scare people into avoiding foods unnecessarily which can have unintended consequences for your physical and mental health (as well as your relationship with food). Instead of seeking out a list of foods to avoid when you have eczema, it's wiser to question why you are reacting to certain foods in your diet. If there's a legitimate IgE food allergy – that's one thing (and it's best to follow your doctor's recommendation on that front). But assuming you now have a food sensitivity or food intolerance may mean you miss crucial clues to hidden problems lurking below the surface. Here's my take based on my work as a clinical nutritionist on why certain foods can make your eczema worse! In this episode: Eczema trigger foods list: Does one exist? Thoughts on different naturally occurring food chemicals + eczema flares Breakdown on what gut function is + how it can contribute to eczema Why you might be reacting to certain foods (that has nothing to do with the food itself) Debunking the notion that eczema is all about food sensitivities Quotes: There is no official list of eczema trigger foods no matter what you research online. When there are gut function issues, the way food will interact with your gut will likely be problematic.

If you haven't considered the potential gut connection to eczema, then this will be quite surprising to you! Many of my atopic dermatitis clients struggle with chronic gut issues. And some have extremely imbalanced gut microbiomes, but don't even have any gut symptoms! Testing and certain patterns that I see in my clinical practice have underscored the importance of considering the impacts that the gut has on the skin, so we're going to start diving into that today! In this episode: Factors that impact the eczema-gut connection When gut microbiome imbalances can start (HINT: it's earlier than you think!) Specific types of bacterial overgrowth I see in eczema clients Imbalances that current research is highlighting in the “eczema gut” What tends to be skewed in the gut microbiome of young babies + kids Quotes: Inflammation that impacts the skin often doesn't originate in the skin… but actually somewhere else in your body. The gut of someone with eczema may look different compared to someone who does not have eczema.

El vitiligo es una enfermedad que causa la pérdida de color de la piel. Las áreas descoloridas generalmente se agrandan con el tiempo. Puede afectar la piel de cualquier parte del cuerpo, el cabello e incluso, el interior de la boca. Normalmente, al color del cabello y la piel lo determina la melanina.

Itchy eyes. Sinus pressure. Coughing and sneezing... Many people take antihistamines to get through an allergy episode, and that can be totally OK. But what about if you have to take them everyday? Are there potential long term side effects? Today's guest, Dr. Chris Thompson, is a Board Certified Otolaryngologist, Head & Neck Surgeon with over 25 years of experience practicing medicine in Texas. He earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A & M University in College Station and went on to receive his Doctorate of Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Dr. Thompson completed his residency with the Department of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.Dr. Thompson focuses solely on allergy, sinus and nasal treatment and is considered an expert in all three fields. He is one of a handful of doctors that played an integral role in the development of the cutting-edge sinus procedure, Balloon Sinuplasty. Dr. Thompson is also experienced with nasal reconstructive procedures and rhinoplasty. He is very excited for the future of allergy treatment through sublingual immunotherapy, as more patients choose and stay consistent with the treatment. He is also a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Texas Medical Association, and Travis County Medical Society. Join us as Dr. Thompson discusses all things relating to allergies, the side effects of long-term use of antihistamines, and other options that people can use or try to get off of those meds such as immunotherapy. Have you used antihistamines to calm down a severe allergic response? Have they helped, but you're ready to try something new? Let me know in the comments if you have questions! In this episode: Are antihistamines appropriate for daily use? Different types of antihistamines (what do they do?) How eczema, food allergies + asthma are related Antihistamines crossing the blood-brain barrier (YIKES) Non-pharmaceutical options to consider (and discuss with your doctor) Treatment options for different types of specific allergies Quotes “There are some studies that link long-term antihistamine use with things like dementia. There was one I read recently that showed an increase in glial tumors, which are typically brain tumors... There are links to depression. There are links to weight gain with these and all, but one of the antihistamines over-the-counter can cross the blood-brain barrier." [4:16] “One of the most surprising facts about allergy is that only 2% of the population of allergy patients seek allergy care. Imagine, if 3% of cancer patients or 2% of sleep apnea patients sought and received proper care for their medical ailment? It would just be unfathomable, but yet in the allergy world, again, we're not talking about a life threatening problem in most cases, but it really does get sidelined and poo-pooed by a lot of doctors."

Back in March 2019 on the eve of the private view for our Caring Matters Now 'How Do You C Me Now?' exhibition at the OXO Wharf Gallery London, I received a DM from Lucy Reeves enquiring about tickets for the show. What began on the Friday morning at the opening to the general public was a journey of discovery, self-acceptance, inner peace, connection and growth for Lucy who on that morning for the first time in her 35 years met not just one but over twenty other human-beings with Congenital Melanocytic Nevus (CMN), an extremely rare type of birthmark 1/20,000 people worldwide. Lucy's start in life was that of a book or movie script, an uphill struggle from day1 to today where Lucy post exhibition and portrait discusses how day by day she's learning to see herself in a much more positive light. As the Caring Matters Now exhibit makes its virtual way to the U.S. for Nevus Outreach to host the online show to continue the work started by Jodi Whitehouse and the phenomenal team of trustees who have presented this unknown condition on a global scale and celebrate the diversity in skin. A must listen for parents and folks alike connected with CMN or any kind of birthmark.

Have you ever heard of endolysins? Are you wondering what these things are and how are they relevant when talking about skin conditions? Today's episode is sponsored by Gladskin which makes a topical cream that I think you should know about called Eczema Cream with Micreobalance®… and it's highly relevant to what we're talking about today. I became aware of Gladskin several years ago when community members started to share their personal stories of how Gladskin's Eczema Cream had helped their eczema flares + symptoms.Because I didn't fully understand how exactly the product worked, I read up on the Micreobalance® endolysin technology and talked to people at Gladskin so that I better understood why it could be helpful while being free of antibiotics and steroids. I was really impressed with how neat endolysins are – sort of like pac-mans (for those of you who are old enough to remember that video game) that target the bad and preserve the good, to keep your skin microbiome in check. You can check out more about Gladskin Eczema Cream with Micreobalance® AND save 15% off your order at www.gladskin.com/healthyskinshow. My guest today is Dr. Peter Lio, a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology & Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School, completed his internship in Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital, and his Dermatology training at Harvard where he served as Chief Resident in Dermatology. While at Harvard, he received formal training in acupuncture. Dr. Lio will be giving you the low down on endolysins – I know you're going to find this just as fascinating as I do, so let's dive in! Have you ever tried Gladskin, and has it helped on your skin journey? Post something you learned it in the comments! In this episode: The difference between the skin microbiome of eczema vs healthy skin Thoughts on antibiotic resistance as a growing medical concern Endolysins: what are they + how they support the skin microbiome How Gladskin's Micreobalance® utilizes endolysins to help the skin's microbiome Real-life stories from Dr. Lio's practice of patients using Gladskin Tips + strategies to help you use Gladskin with Micreobalance® Quotes “There is some very convincing evidence that it may help with not only the bacterial balance on the skin, but also with atopic dermatitis. So we can actually see some of the studies are studied in patients with eczema or atopic dermatitis. I think there is pretty convincing evidence of clinical helpfulness of these [endolysin] products.” [10:47] “... the baby's branded one. Actually, they remove the oat because there is some discussion around putting foods on our skin and the connection between allergy. Some people really do have an oat allergy. So [The Eczema Cream for Babies and Kids] is an even simpler, kind of an even cleaner preparation for the babies, which I love." [14:44] "I'm really excited about Gladskin's work in this space. I think they're being bold. They're trying something totally new and entering in as really the only one of its kind right now. So it's kind of exciting to have a totally new class. When patients say, 'What is this like?' It's like, 'Nothing. It's really a totally new thing!' This is something really new and exciting."

Lupus is a truly a tricky diagnosis. The symptoms range from fatigue to the butterfly rash to joint pain! It can be so hard to pin down due to many other ailments having the same symptoms. Today's guest, Tanya Freirich, has worked as a dietitian for more than a decade after obtaining both my Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Clinical Nutrition from New York University. I started my career at the world-renowned New York Presbyterian Hospital, then honed my skills in private practice and as an outpatient dietitian.

Do you have lupus and have some tricks or products you have found that help? Share them with me in the comments! In this episode: Signs + symptoms of lupus Tanya's personal story from "fuzzy" diagnosis to being flare-free The eyebrow-raising stat of how many people really have lupus Why getting a proper lupus diagnosis is so challenging How diet + external factors play a huge role in flares and calming the inflammation Quotes “When I was having my lupus flares, I had no idea if I was going to wake up. Honestly, to just get out of my bed was excruciating. He's my husband now, he's a good one, I kept him, but he helped me get dressed. He helped me get my breakfast and turn the doorknobs to get out of the apartment. It was really tough." [30:14] “Lupus can lead to headaches, low-grade fevers, photosensitivity. So if you notice, "Oh wow, I spent the day in the sun. And for days after, weeks after, I really don't feel well," that could be a sign of lupus."

If you've had children, you may have been given tips (probably unsolicited) about feeding Baby, but what does the science really say about baby advice? From allergies to getting your child started on the best foot forward, most parents are left trying to decipher an ever-changing landscape while feeling defeated. Today's guest, Meenal Lele, is the author of The Baby and the Biome, a revelatory look at how we all got so sick. She is also the founder & CEO of Lil Mixins, an early allergen introduction solution. She has a chemical engineering and business degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Meenal's book combines her deep clinical experience with her goal to end food allergies that affect 40 million Americans, like her son. Join us as Meenal helps to break down the complicated topic of children's food allergies and what science really says when it comes to a child's microbiome. Does your child have early eczema or food allergies? Post something you learned in your journey in the comments to help other parents! In this episode: The scary stat of how many kids will develop a chronic immune disease How eczema, food allergies and asthma are all related What is the best time window to introduce common allergenic foods to a baby (this goes against common advice) Why staph and eczema can go hand in hand along with food allergies What should parents do to hopefully minimize these issues? Quotes “Foods become an allergen when your body mistakes a totally normal, safe food and decides it's a parasite.” [12:52] “I feel like we're so unwilling to be even momentarily uncomfortable that we end up throwing things at a problem that don't even help. And that's the case for us with antibiotics. In Sweden, they made doctors report every single time they were using antibiotics, and why, and it cut the reuse of antibiotics by 75%, meaning probably for us in the United States, three out of four uses of antibiotics are completely unnecessary."

If chronic hives, dermatographia or angioadema have got you down – I hear ya. They are extremely frustrating skin conditions especially when all the testing to look for an environmental trigger doesn't yield much helpful information. If you're anything like my clients, you probably don't want to be stuck on endless combos of antihistamines and feeling helpless to make this type of rash stop. My clinical experience supporting people with these conditions has shown me that there are a lot more underlying the frustrating skin symptoms than what you'll hear from your doctor. I'm going to share with you how I view these conditions from a functional clinical nutrition perspective AND what first steps you can take that my clients find incredibly helpful! In this episode: The main reason the hives/urticaria will not stop Thyroid connection to chronic hives Research on hives + autoimmunity Is your body OVER-producing histamine?!?! First 4 steps to get urticaria to stop Quotes: Histamine Overload is a situation where your body is no longer able to handle the immense amount of histamine present. A 2019 paper noted that 25 to 30 percent of urticaria cases also had underlying Hashimoto's along with anti-TPO antibodies.

Raise your hand if you've ever used mouthwash or bleached your teeth. Probably everyone has at some point, right? My guest today will make you rethink your idea of having a "dirty" mouth that needs to be sterilized! Today's guest, Dr. Mark Burhenne, attended the University of the Pacific Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. In his bio, Dr. B writes, “In my 30 years of practice as a dentist, I've seen a lot of misinformation and people who have fallen through the cracks due to our healthcare system's failure to understand the oral-body connection” – which is where his focus on “whole body care” really started. Dr. B is passionate about getting people the right information they need to be healthy – a passion we share! He founded askthedentist.com in 2010 as an avenue to advance that passion. Ask the Dentist promotes oral health for total wellness and empowers people to understand how the mouth is a window into the health of the rest of the body. It's fast becoming one of the sources for the best dental advice on the net with millions of viewers per month. Dr. B is also is the author of the best selling book The 8-Hour Paradox: How We are Sleeping Our Way to Fatigue, Disease, and Unhappiness. He recently started a podcast, and is helping connect functional dentists to functionally minded patients via a worldwide directory. Join us as we chat on all things relating to functional dentistry- from sleep to the oral-systemic connection to the oral microbiome. (And yes, we will talk about some oral care products!) Have you noticed a skin rash pop up after having dental work or something go awry within your mouth? Tell me about it in the comments! In this episode: How oral health can impact + worsen skin problems What is the oral microbiome? Why you should NEVER disinfect the mouth How bleaching your teeth could lead to dysbiosis Should you DITCH toothpaste? (cankersores, anyone?) Hydroxyapatite - what is it + how is it helpful for your teeth Testing you can order to assess your oral microbiome Quotes “Anytime we talk about health, whether it's systemic health, oral health, we have to talk in that fashion as being a super organism and having this complex, interacting, synergistic system in our mouth. And when it goes wrong, it's not necessarily just the human DNA, it's a combination of everything.” [5:03] “There's a little girdle of tissue that tries to seal off the bugs in the mouth and prevent them from getting into the body. The bad news is that it happens quite frequently. For example, every time you go in for a dental cleaning, within 20 minutes, those bacteria in the mouth are in the blood in your bloodstream... And that's called Bacteriema."

If you've got psoriasis – there's a pretty big chance that you're deficient in certain nutrients (especially if your psoriasis is more severe). In fact, nutrient deficiencies are more common than you probably think! As a clinical nutritionist, I often find that those with more severe symptoms tend to experience higher degrees of nutrient deficiencies (which is one reason that I do not understand the resistance to checking the nutrient status of those with psoriasis). So let's discuss which key macro and micronutrients are commonly found to be deficient in psoriasis and what that could mean for your body and health! Especially because nutrient deficiencies are a source of intense stress because your body doesn't have the proper nutrients to operate efficiently. In this episode: Common nutrient deficiencies found in cases of psoriasis Impacts of low protein intake on psoriasis cases (that I see in my practice) Why this one key macronutrient is so important Certain optimal ranges that I use in my clinical practice What selenium has to do with psoriasis The potential impact several of these nutrients have on modulating your immune response Quotes: There's no way you can know that your nutrient stores and nutrient intake are appropriate for you without (in many instances) looking at labs. Keep in mind that combining several interventions together may make a bigger impact on your skin than a single intervention alone.

In this episode: What is Emotional Freedom Technique (also known as Tapping)? How does it work and why is it effective? Research backing up how well ETF works How can you use this tool to benefit you? Example of a basic tapping process/mantra to use Quotes “When you're tapping on these points in the body, it's actually sending a signal to your brain to let your brain and body know that you can relax. And there's even studies that show that tapping is going to reduce cortisol levels in the body.” [1:59] “It's all about fully accepting all parts of you. And a lot of times we're fighting against these parts of ourselves, we're frustrated with ourself. We don't want to look at or deal with these things that bother us. And so, rather than us ignoring them or avoiding them, we fully bring everything into the light and we just acknowledge what is true…and when we can accept something that's there that we don't love, it's actually through the acceptance that we're more easily able to release it.” [12:30] Links Connect with Sarah Emily online RESEARCH – Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) Improves Multiple Physiological Markers of Health Follow Sarah Emily on Instagram | Join her Facebook group Get a free tapping training HERE Check out this beginner intro to tapping course that teaches the basics of tapping if you want to learn the technique

Most people assume that itchiness means there's too much histamine in their bodies. This assumption is often very wrong leading people to take anti-histamine medications that they will admit don't help much. If this hits home, you'll be shocked to know that there are many different reasons (or hidden root causes) that can drive itch that often isn't explored in conventional dermatology. So if you're frustrated that nothing seems to help that awful itch, you're in the right place! In this episode: MYTH-BUSTING – itchiness + histamine intolerance Common meds + supplements used to stop itch What happens when these options don't work? Different itch triggers (that have nothing to do with histamine) What about chronic hives + dermatographia? Quotes: If itchiness were solely triggered by histamine, then the medications and even potentially the supplements would help. Itchiness is associated with higher levels of IL-31 in the body (especially in those with eczema, urticaria, and prurigo nodularis).

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:    Alison: Hi Dr Cabral, thanks for all you do. I appreciate the effort you put into these podcasts. Here are my questions… Does anyone ever need to complete consecutive detoxes (like 2 rounds of the CBO) to fully recover? I've heard some detox experts claim that it takes 2 years to fully & safely detox heavy metals. I saw that your heavy metal detox program is around 6 weeks long. I'm not really sure what my question is, but is the 2 year program a fraud? Or can you explain why the time frame is so large between detox programs? Thanks again!!   Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, Hope your day is going well. I just want to know if using a Q-tip to clean your ears is a healthy habit. I do this after every time I take a shower. Some say it's good and others say it's not good because our ears don't need to be cleaned since our earwax serves a purpose, plus when using a Q-tip you can push the earwax in further and also potentially damage your eardrum. Do our ears need to be cleaned regularly? If so how? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. As always, thank you very much and have a good one! BTW, I tried searching for this & other topics on your podcast page but for some reason it brings up thousands of podcasts even though most of them don't talk about the topic being searched for. Last time this occurred I tried clearing my cache & cookies but this time it didn't help so I wonder if there is anything I can do to fix this and I apologize if you have covered this topic before.   Jessica: Hi does your candida gut protocol help w vaginal candida also?   Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral. As always, thank you for your time and knowledge. I am wondering what your thoughts are on Necrobiosis Lipoidica and if you have any tips to make changes to affect the root cause. It seems to also be related to granulomatous panniculitis and lipodermatosclerosis if those are inter-related. Any ideas to heal damage done by any of these?   Dana: Hello, my daughter and I have vitiligo, my father has it too but very little and seems like it's almost disappeared through the years, is there any causes of it or its hereditary and can't be fixed that's what the conventional doctors say, what is your take on that issue? Thank you so much, enjoying the podcast a lot!   Michele: Hi Dr. Cabral! You are the absolute best. I listen to you daily. I have a question about thrombosed hemorrhoids that I cannot seem to find any information on and my Dr. has been of no help whatsoever. I am a 41 year old female, 122 pounds, 3 vaginal births, and have been on a mission to get my health where it needs to be after years of mystery symptoms. A year ago randomly I got a thrombosed hemorrhoid after never having had hemorrhoids before in my life. The weirdest part was it was not the result of any kind of bathroom straining it literally just appeared one day and led me on a journey through hell for 6 weeks. I have been hemorrhoid free for a year and last week low and behold another one appears again with no straining. I have run my hair minerals test, candida, metabolic and vitamins test, have been working with an IHP and am on week 4 of the CBO protocol. I have been on a high fiber plant based diet, tons of water and walking, take the CBO supps, magnesium, and have added in some hemorrhoid support supps from Amazon because I am desperate. I am at a loss for why I would be getting these. Is this a weak vein issue? from having kids? just hormones and me getting older? I am living in absolute fear of this being a constant problem.
