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…
My inspiration to work in the integrative health field (beyond my own skin problems)What functional medicine gets wrong about skin issues by treating them like autoimmunity + leaky gutWhy an elimination diet + leaky gut diet often make skin worseCan you “starve” yeast if you have candida overgrowth?“Steroid phobia” + being traumatized by conventional medical system
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. (If you want to learn more about this, JOIN ME HERE.)
So let’s dive in!
In This Episode:
Quotes
“Functional medicine does a really bad job of actually helping people understand chronic skin problems because they treat them like autoimmunity and they're not.”
“If you have chronic skin problems, it's likely you have leaky gut. You don't need to go do a test for it.”

If you’re curious to try a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), this episode is a must-watch!
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 tried
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:
Quotes
“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.”

There is power in having a positive mindset, even if you have a negative perspective right now.
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 therapy
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:Quotes
“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.’”

Wondering if you have a skin rash from mold? This episode is for you!
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 hides
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:Quotes
“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.”

What are topical steroids? Often prescribed for chronic skin conditions, I’ll bet you’ve probably used them at some point during your treatment.
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 system
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:
Quotes
“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.”

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.
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 journey
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:Quotes
“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. So since we're using these seeds to grow food for you know ourselves and our family, we want to have the best.”

Ever heard of immunoglobulins? While colostrum is experiencing a renaissance, you should seriously weigh the immunoglobulin supplement versus colostrum benefits.
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 it
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:
Quotes
“[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.”

Gut parasites can be so frustratingly tricky to get a clear answer whether you have them or not.
Are functional stool tests an effective parasite test?Is microscopic stool testing a better for gut parasites?Pros + cons of blood testing for parasitesHow to test for pinworms + are they contagious?Crazy relationship between allergen cross-reactivity + parasitesHow to know if you have parasites (these are surprising!)Do babies always have GI issues if they have gut parasites?Could adults have a parasite and skin rash but NO GI issues?Relationship between biofilms + gut parasites
The topic of and how they impact chronic skin issues is a fascinating once, especially since it’s entirely possible to have parasites, but have NO gut symptoms.
Additionally, it can be quite difficult to get accurate test results.
So yes, it’s worth exploring a parasite and skin rash connection, even if you live in what’s considered a “first world country”.
Certain skin symptoms (like hives) can be a significant clue, while other signs of gut parasites infection are sneakier (like certain nutrient deficiencies).

No one is spared from things in life that cause suffering. And yes, living with chronic skin problems, including Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), can seriously damage your confidence and self-worth.
I’ve often heard from clients that how their day will go is dictated by what their skin will decide to do. And while I understand the challenge inherent to the unpredictability of your skin, allowing external factors like your skin to have such enormous control over your mindset and daily experience sets you up for failure.
And with time, you likely will start to feel victimized by your skin (and other symptoms) and rather powerless.

If you’re on the hunt for steroid-free itchy scalp remedy options to end the embarrassment and discomfort of flaky, itchy scalp problems, this episode is for you.
Why Dr. Gupta sought out an effective itchy scalp remedyWhat is cradle cap? (+ cradle cap removal options)Why scalp issues in babies could trigger food allergiesDandruff causes (+ how the scalp microbiome is involved)How Yobee hair products workThoughts on hair products causing MORE scalp inflammationWho can use Yobee products? (Can you use it for beardruff + beard care?)
From cradle cap in infants to itchy, crusty, flaky dandruff in adults, so many people feel like they’ve tried every dandruff treatment in the book. From medicated anti-dandruff shampoo to topical steroids and other medications, you know that eventually, the flaking, itching, and redness all return.
This is because those treatments don’t deal with the root of the issue, which is an imbalanced scalp microbiome, leading to an overgrowth of things like malassezia.
AND a compromised skin barrier, which can be a trigger for the atopic march (food allergies, dry skin, allergic rhinitis, eczema, and asthma).
Joining me to discuss how to get rid of dandruff, cradle cap removal, and her line of gentle scalp rebalancing products is return guest Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH. She is a Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a Clinical Attending at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
Dr. Gupta has over 20 years of experience as a board-certified pediatrician and health researcher and currently serves as the founding director of the Center for Food Allergy & Asthma Research (CFAAR).
She is world-renowned for her research on the epidemiology, economic impact, prevention, and management of allergic conditions, and strives to find answers and shape policies surrounding these conditions in order to reduce burden and improve health equity.
In This Episode:
Quotes
“So for the scalp, typically your cells should regenerate every month. And what happens when you have dandruff, it's happening more frequently and that's where you're getting those white flakes. So it's happening almost weekly. And what's causing that? So many things. So we all use different hair products now and a lot of the hair products have chemicals in it. And so what are those chemicals doing to disrupt the microbiome? You have to think about that.”
“Eczema and the cradle cap and food allergies and allergic rhinitis and asthma, they're all connected. And so if you have one, you have a higher chance of having the rest. So those babies with eczema, just like my daughter, develop food allergies. But now we're seeing more and more, like a lot of the creams or, like you said, shampoos will have a food component and that could be causing that food allergy to start up because it's entering them through their skin.”

If you have discolored, yellow nails, you could be dealing with finger + toe nail psoriasis. Often, brittle, raised nails can be tricky to figure out what’s going on especially when you consider how similar nail psoriasis vs fungus nail infections can look.
What should a healthy nail look like?What is finger + toe nail psoriasis?Nail changes in eczema cases (How is this different?)Is nail psoriasis a psoriatic arthritis symptom?Finger + toe nail psoriasis vs Fungal nail infectionsNail psoriasis treatment optionsNutrients linked to healing nail psoriasis
Nail psoriasis actually forms under the nail bed and can be easy to miss! Eventually, though, the skin becomes red and inflamed, and the nail bed is damaged in the process.
And if you have psoriatic arthritis, your risk of developing finger + toe nail psoriasis is greater than 70%! So it’s crucial to know what the signs + symptoms of nail psoriasis as well as what nail psoriasis treatment options exist.
I’m excited to discuss this with returning guest Dr. Jenny Bennett, 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 such as psoriatic arthritis, finger + toe nail psoriasis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma.
In This Episode:Quotes
"You get this kind of inflammatory process, you don't always see it because it's under the nail. So it can be kind of red and inflamed, and it damages the nail bed. And then your body starts to just make all of these extra skin cells underneath the nail bed. And if you build up enough of them, it can cause damage to the nail, it can actually thin the nail or decrease it. But oftentimes it looks like it's thickening.”
“Any kind of microbial changes will increase your risk of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriatic nail changes. So if you have a fungal infection, or even sometimes a bacterial infection, in the nail, it will increase the risk of psoriasis happening in that nail.”

“Why am I so itchy?” If you have itchy skin without rash, including issues like eczema, psoriasis, or chronic hives, you might have neuropathic itch.
What is neuropathic itch (aka. itchy skin without rash)?How could your brain cause itchy skin without rash?Itch intensity of different examples of neuropathic itchTreatment options for neuropathic itchWhich inflammatory cytokines are involved?Could Low Dose Naltrexone help itchy skin without rash?Alternative therapies for neuropathic itch
Though itch is caused primarily by inflammation, neuropathic itch is actually caused by dysfunction of your nervous system!
Put simply, this type of itch has no primary skin rash, so you won’t see inflamed dry patches or welts. You’ll only feel itchy.
It is often localized to certain areas of the body. For example, you could have an itchy scalp, back, or arms. The itchy skin can sometimes be mild, but is unfortunately usually quite intense, leading to scratching, which can damage the skin.
And because there’s no treatment for neuropathic itch, despite it being very common, you might start to feel like there’s no hope. Yes, what’s causing this is not yet well understood, but it sounds like experts are digging into this.
Joining me to discuss neuropathic itch is returning guest Dr. Shawn Kwatra. He is the Chair of Dermatology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He specializes in medical dermatology areas of clinical expertise, including 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.
He currently serves as the National Secretary/Treasurer of the Skin of Color Society. He is a member of the National Eczema Association’s Scientific and Medical Advisory Council.
Dr. Kwatra has been an author or co-author on over 200 publications and author of the book Living with Itch.
In This Episode:Quotes
“[Neuropathic itch is] initiated or caused by dysfunction of the nervous system…so it actually is caused by the nerves. And the core symptoms here are that you have normal skin, or skin only with some secondary skin changes or signs of scratching, excoriation, and it oftentimes favors a localized distribution. And so the scalp is actually a very common site where folks itch.”
“Unfortunately, a lot of the medications we use to treat this condition are very sedating. They're drugs that are focusing on the transmission of itch in the central nervous system and spinal cord like gabapentin or anticonvulsants. So those are the type of drugs that we're giving for this condition.”

If you didn’t know, markers for candida in stool tests aren’t very trustworthy. This is a challenge when you’ve invested money to figure out what’s going on in your gut that is also impacting your skin.
Is candida overgrowth a frequent root cause in skin rash cases?Is it worth it to try a candida cleanse?Pros + cons: Best tests for candidaAre THESE skin issues signs of candida overgrowth?Diet + candida overgrowth (honest thoughts)Upcoming trainings to join
Candida overgrowth is tricky to pinpoint if you don’t take several factors into account (and often they aren’t things you can test for).
Sometimes signs of candida overgrowth are fairly obvious, like getting thrush, a vaginal yeast infection, or candida diaper rash in children. Other times, the symptoms are subtle and could be attributed to other problems if you aren’t looking at the full case.
Because the inflammation triggered by candida overgrowth in your gut can absolutely show up as inflamed skin and rashes.
My guest, Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, 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 to help families get to the root causes of the problem through her unique method called Conquer Your Child’s Rashesᵀᴹ .
We’re chatting today about what we tend to see in baby, childhood, and adult skin problems when we see or are looking for candida and other fungal overgrowth concerns.
So let’s dive in!
In This Episode:Quotes
“I have had multitudes of the thousands of people that are in my Instagram community, on my email list, here on YouTube, how many people have said, ‘I did a candida cleanse and I think I broke myself because my skin flared up so badly. I deeply regret having done this’.” — Jennifer Fugo
“When you have an overgrowth of something like candida or something else fungal, you're not going to be able to fix it with diet and prebiotics. I have not had a case where we've been able to do that. It requires some sort of natural anti-microbial antifungal.” — Jennifer Brand

What are the causes of eczema? Can you get eczema genes? Is psoriasis genetic? These are common questions especially since many doctors still blame skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis on genetics.
True or false: Is eczema is genetic?How genetic research has changed the way medicine views chronic health conditionsThe dark history behind using genes to guide treatmentIs there an eczema gene (or even a dyshidrotic eczema gene) or is psoriasis genetic?How does your environment (and chemical exposures) influence your genetic code?Can different fabrics INCREASE Staph aureus on the skin?New research on topical eczema treatments using the skin microbiome
Many people have been told “Oh, you just got bad genes!”
So is it true that the genes are the reason explaining WHY you got the skin condition that you have? Or does this attitude overlook and ignore other possible triggers.
With the ability to sequence the genetic code (and even get your own DNA report), genes have essentially become the convenient excuse according to my guest today. And that leaning on them as THE reason you have skin problems (and other health concerns) is something of a flawed approach.
In reality, there are a multitude of reasons or triggers that can cause skin problems that include the environment, your microbiome, chemical exposures, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and even what fabrics you wear. But if we ONLY point to genes, it becomes really easy to see how these important factors are overlooked.
So if you’ve been told that eczema is genetic or what causes psoriasis on the skin is because of your genes, this conversation will blow your mind. My returning guest Dr. Ian Myles is head of the Epithelial Therapeutics Unit at the National Institute of Health tasked with evaluating the efficacy and safety of a topical, live bacterial treatment for eczema.
He did his undergrad at Colorado State University, received his medical degree from the University of Colorado, then trained in internal medicine at The Ohio State University prior to beginning fellowship training in allergy and clinical immunology at NIH. He became a commissioned officer in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and has supported several US and international missions. Also, Dr. Myles received his master’s in public health from George Washington University.
And he’s the author of a fantastic book called Gattaca Has Fallen: How Population Genetics Failed the Populace now available that seeks to answer the question about how genetics research has led care for chronic health conditions (like skin problems) very astray.
In This Episode:Quotes
“It is an easy excuse and it comes from a dark history, but comes from a long time ago where it was just an assumption as to, why would one person get a disease and one person not? And particularly within siblings, right, why would one of your children have eczema and the other one never suffer a second of the disease? And it was just this assumption that there's got to be something innately wrong with the individual.”

Ever heard of a tick meat allergy (also known more formally as alpha-gal syndrome)? This is caused by the bite of a very specific type of tick which then triggers an allergy to mammalian meat (that comes from cows, pigs, sheep, etc.).
What is alpha-gal syndrome and what triggers it?Tick meat allergy originsWho is at risk for alpha-gal allergy?How is alpha-gal syndrome diagnosed?Alpha-gal allergy symptomsWhat is pork-cat syndrome?Timeline from tick bite to triggering alpha-gal allergy symptomsAlpha-gal syndrome and dairy: Is it problem?Medications to avoid if you have alpha-gal syndromeIs there treatment available for alpha meat allergy?
Alpha-gal syndrome is different to other food allergies. Take peanut allergies, for example. Symptoms like hives and wheezing typically show up very quickly after consuming peanuts or peanut-containing foods.
If you have an alpha-gal allergy, it usually takes a few hours between meat consumption and the onset of symptoms. This can make it very tricky to diagnose.
Because an alpha meat allergy is not just to one type of animal, it causes a significant diet change AND is tricky when it comes to picking supplements (as this type of allergy isn’t on the top 9 allergen list).
Joining me to shed some light on alpha gal mammalian meat allergy is Dr. David Fitzhugh, an allergist/immunologist in private practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
He specializes in food immunotherapy for children and adults with severe food allergies but treats a wide variety of allergic and immunologic conditions, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, mast cell disorders, and anaphylaxis.

Quotes
“You have to live where the tick is prevalent, number one. And number two, you know the typical person that we might see with alpha-gal tends to be someone who spends a lot of time outdoors because those are people that are getting tick bites…And again I'll reinforce, of course, not everybody who gets bit by Lone Star Tick develops alpha-gal.”
“Patients, in my experience, they have this sort of palmar-plantar itching, right? They complain of itching on the palms of their hands, soles of their feet, and then sometimes hives erupt, and then sometimes mild GI symptoms. My stomach was a little upset. I felt a little queasy, but sometimes overt, significant diarrhea and vomiting.”

Are you struggling with a super itchy skin rash that looks like eczema? If gluten seems to be a trigger – you might be dealing with dermatitis herpetiformis!
What is dermatitis herpetiformis (DH)?Dermatitis herpetiformis symptomsHow is this gluten rash diagnosed?Other clues that you may have dermatitis herpetiformis (e.g. altered oral health)Autoimmune conditions linked to this celiac rashCan removing gluten from your diet improve dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms?Dermatitis herpetiformis treatment optionsNutrient deficiencies associated with celiac diseaseShould you use gluten-free skincare if you have DH?
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a rare skin rash that starts off as incredibly itchy, small blisters that eventually start to become open sores due to constant scratching.
This rash is generally considered to be MORE ITCHY than eczema, and is commonly found in the creases of elbows, knees, and buttocks.
What causes DH, you might ask? The answer is surprising: Gluten. Yes, dermatitis herpetiformis is a gluten rash – the skin manifestation of celiac disease. In fact, eliminating gluten from your diet and skincare is necessary to find relief.
Joining me to talk about the link between gluten, dermatitis herpetiformis, and celiac disease is fan-favorite guest Dr. Peter Lio, who is 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, Dr. Lio received formal training in acupuncture. Dr. Lio has written a textbook on Integrative Dermatology and has published over 100 papers.
In This Episode:Quotes
“Dermatitis herpetiformis, or DH, is really an inflammatory autoimmune disease that actually results in tiny blisters, although when most patients see it, they tend to look more eczematous…It's incredibly itchy.”
“[The itch] can be absolutely crazy. They can be going nuts where they're scratching. And again, it's these funny areas, elbows, knees, buttocks, and they're so uncomfortable. They can't really seem to get to the itch. I find it's even more intense and deeper in general than atopic dermatitis.”

Let’s talk about hemp seed oil for skin benefits! This powerful, nutrient-rich seed oil is loaded with skin-friendly vitamins and fatty acids that are fantastic for your skin — especially when it’s dry and itchy. But there’s also some confusion around hemp seed oil.
Hemp oil vs CBD vs cannabisWhat are endocannabinoids and how do they compare to cannabinoids?Hemp oil for skin eczema, psoriasis, and other rashesThe benefits of hemp seed oil for skinWhat to watch out for in topical CBD oilsQuell products that feature hemp seed oil
Even though it’s from a plant that’s been cultivated for thousands of years for medicinal purposes, people still tend to associate it with CBD or even cannabis, which are definitely not the same thing as hemp seed oil.
We’re going to take a look at what the differences are between hemp seed oil and its other, more psychoactive cousins. And we’re also going to talk about how to use hemp oil for skin rashes. Because it’s phenomenal for cooling down inflammation quickly and supporting your skin in a variety of ways.
Real talk: healing from a skin rash, especially one you’ve had for some time, isn’t an overnight process. You’ve got to figure out where the imbalance is, and then address what’s driving this problem. And unfortunately, it’s usually a combination of a few things that have to be worked out. That’s why everything you’ve tried up until this point hasn’t worked. You need a more comprehensive look at the factors that drive skin rashes.
When I work with my private clients, I first walk them through the process I’m sharing with you for free here: The Skin Rash Root Cause Finder. It’s a workbook that will help you narrow down the underlying causes of your rash so you can get to work stopping it! Download it here and let’s figure this out, together!

Quotes
“But, hemp is not psychoactive and doesn’t contain Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is the psychoactive part of a marijuana plant that makes you “high.”
“It’s got a lovely balance of both Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, and it also contains non-psychoactive cannabinoids so you get the benefits of likely interaction with the endocannabinoid receptors in the skin, without the psychoactive nonsense.”
