It probably doesn’t surprise you that HS (hidradenitis suppurativa) is much more than just a skin condition. There is an increasing body of research showing how HS is linked to immune dysfunction, gut health, liver problems, hormone imbalances, and so much more that often goes overlooked in conventional medical care.In this episode, I’m diving into the links between Hidradenitis suppurativa and autoimmune disease, liver health, thyroid dysfunction, and gut health, so you can spot red flags and get help sooner!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/414  - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE Root Cause Quiz - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Topical steroid withdrawal syndrome is finally getting the serious attention it deserves.

If you’ve got a penicillin allergy, this episode is crucial for you! That’s because you can outgrow a drug allergy like this even if you developed it as an adult. Antibiotic allergies are either misdiagnosed or fade over time. Even if you avoid taking antibiotics like the plague, having a drug allergy on your medical chart can end up limiting treatment options if you find yourself truly needing them.In this episode, my guest, Dr. Mariana Castells, breaks down how drug allergies are diagnosed, how long they take to disappear, why they can appear later in life, and how “drug delabeling” could dramatically improve your care (especially when something serious happens). Dr. Mariana Castells, M.D., Ph.D., is a world-renowned expert in allergy and immunology with over 30 years of experience. Whether you have an antibiotic allergy (or you know someone who does), this is a must-listen interview!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/407 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

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 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/406 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide -https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Is it just an eczema (atopic dermatitis) flare or could it be something else? Most people don’t realize that Staph aureus could be the hidden skin flare trigger that actively weakens your skin barrier, triggering more inflammation, itchiness, and persistent eczema symptoms. Even if it seems “normal,” the presence of Staph might point to deeper imbalances that need attention.In this episode, we dig into how Staph aureus, the gut microbiome, environmental toxins, and even air pollution can all contribute to recurring eczema.Joining me is Dr. Peter Lio, a board-certified dermatologist and respected voice in integrative dermatology. He’s a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern University and has authored over 100 papers, along with a textbook on Integrative Dermatology.If you’re ready to understand why your eczema isn’t clearing up, this is a must-listen conversation filled with insight and practical takeaways.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Learn how to address your Eczema root causes 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyeczemamc-pod - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/405 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

If mealtimes with your child have become a daily battle, you’re not alone. Picky eating isn’t always just a phase, and unfortunately many of the tactics that your parents used on you (like “You can’t leave the table until you clean your plate”) often backfire. In this episode, I am joined by Alyssa Miller, RD, a picky eating specialist, to explore the real reasons that drive picky eating in toddlers and young children, including underlying gut issues and nutrient deficiencies. So if you’re looking to get your child to eat more foods, and make mealtime peaceful again, Alyssa is here to help you find practical strategies to make your picky eater feel safe trying new foods without pressure, bribing, or giving in. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Join Alyssa’s Free workshop to stop picky eating 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/alyssa-miller-training - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/404 - Stop My Eczema Masterclass 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyeczemamc-pod - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

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?

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 👉https://www.skinterrupt.com/histagut-pod - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/402 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes Root Cause Quiz - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

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 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/401 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes Root Cause Quiz - www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Is Tylenol really safe?With all the dramatic discussions online about acetaminophen, autism, and potential side effects (that include liver failure risks), my clients have been asking my opinion. The truth is somewhere in the middle because, as with anything – over-the-counter medications like this, herbs or even nutritional supplements – there are pros and cons.Nothing is risk–free.In this episode, I’m breaking down what acetaminophen does in your body, what it depletes (super important!), stats on side effects, and what to consider before reaching for it—plus some supportive options and cleaner alternatives.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/400 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

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.

With over 20 years of experience in both academia and the natural health industry, Dr. Minich shares…🤔Why not all maca root supplements work the same way⭐️Best type of maca for perimenopause and menopause😬How store-bought maca blends can worsen symptoms (beware if you’re just adding it to a smoothie or making maca balls)🎉Tips to choose an effective maca supplementBefore you buy another bag of maca root powder or maca supplements, here’s what you need to know to choose the right type for your hormonal needs.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Try Femmenessence Maca 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/symphonymaca- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/399 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

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.

Best known for weight loss and blood sugar control, GLP-1 drugs might also reduce the stubborn inflammation behind hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

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 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/391 - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Histamine intolerance is typically mild, but Mastocytosis is the most severe form of mast cell disorder—often taking nearly a decade to diagnose. Symptoms can affect multiple organs, from rashes and GI issues to life-threatening anaphylaxis, and standard treatments like low-histamine diets and antihistamines often fail.Many doctors aren’t familiar with testing or treatment options for mast cell issues like Mastocytosis and MCAS.Today, I’m joined by Dr. Mariana Castells, a leading expert in allergy and immunology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. 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 👉https://www.skinterrupt.com/histamineresetmc-pod- HistaGut Relief IgG 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/histagut-pod - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/390 - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

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 👉 https://amethystacu.com/ - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/389 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors including TSW)!

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 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/srrdiy-pod  - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/388 - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

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 👉 http://www.siboinfo.com/ - See all the references + links 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/387 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

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.

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

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

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.

Have you ever wondered if sourdough bread is gluten-free — or if it could be a safe, healthy option for those with chronic health issues? You're not alone, and after years of asking the same questions, I’ve finally got some answers.In today’s episode, I speak with Dr. Bill Schindler, an archaeologist and food scientist, about the surprising truth behind sourdough. We dive into how modern bread differs from traditional sourdough, why so much of what’s sold (and shared on social media) is misleading, and how fermentation can transform grains into a gut-friendly food.Dr. Schindler, founder of the Modern Stone Age Kitchen, is on a mission to revive ancient food prep techniques that could help restore health. If you’ve been avoiding gluten or sourdough for years — or are just curious if it’s worth a try — this episode is for you.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:Modern Stone Age Kitchen: https://modernstoneagekitchen.comDr. Bill Schindler’s Book, Eat Like a Human: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Like-Human-Nourishing-Revolutionize/dp/0316244880Follow Bill Schindler on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbillschindler/?hl=enShow references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/379Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-podFix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Ever used topical steroids for your skin? You’re not alone—but how much do you really know about them?Topical steroids are commonly prescribed for chronic skin conditions, yet concerns about side effects (like topical steroid withdrawal) have led some to become “steroid phobic.” These medications fall under the glucocorticoids category—hormones naturally produced by your body during stress—and can have powerful anti-inflammatory effects when used appropriately.To break it all down, I’m joined by Dr. Luis Franco, a Tenure-Track Investigator at the National Institute of Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS).
