Ep 90 | Jennifer Fugo: The Connection Between Skin Health, Nutrition, And Your Body

What if your skin isn't the problem, but your body is trying to tell you something? What if chronic skin issues are connected to what's happening deeper inside your body? Could learning to ask better questions about your health change the way you approach your healing journey? In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Fugo, a clinical nutritionist, licensed dietitian, certified nutrition specialist, and the creator of Skin Rash Rebuild. Jennifer and I go far beyond skincare. We talk about chronic skin conditions, histamine, the gut, the liver, inflammation, nutrition, advocating for yourself, and why your body should be looked at as a whole. We also have a deeply meaningful conversation about faith. Jennifer shares her story of finding her way back to God, being baptized, and discovering what it means to live in alignment with God's will. We talk about how God can take the hardest seasons of our lives and use them for something we never could have imagined. And we talk about something I really want you to remember. Your skin does not define your worth. Your diagnosis does not define you. Your body is not fighting against you. Sometimes your body is communicating with you. The question is whether you're willing to get curious enough to listen.
