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. Let’s bust some myths and get real about what true healing actually looks like.

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. If you or someone you love has unexplained swelling, itchy legs, or chronic redness—don’t miss this episode!

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.

If your body reacts intensely to even the smallest triggers — from healthy foods to sunlight or exercise — you might be dealing with a mast cell activation issue. These reactions often go far beyond typical histamine intolerance and can feel isolating, especially when others don’t understand what you’re going through.
In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Shapiro, RD, an integrative dietitian who’s helped thousands navigate anxiety, gut and immune issues, and complex sensitivities. We explore what it means to have a “highly sensitive body,” how this ties into conditions like Ehlers-Danlos and hypermobility, and why getting answers can be so challenging.
If you’re tired of feeling like your symptoms are a mystery, this conversation is for you.

Liver detox remedies are everywhere online — especially for chronic skin issues. But before jumping into a cleanse, it’s essential to ask why your liver might be struggling in the first place.
In this episode, I join Dr. Jill Carnahan on Resiliency Radio to talk about how poor liver detox is often tied to gut imbalances and skin inflammation. We cover the liver-gut-skin axis, how to reduce fatty liver (especially with psoriasis), and the emotional weight of chronic skin conditions.
If you're just starting to explore root causes (and liver detox), this is a great place to begin!

Frustrated by aging skin, especially after years of skin issues? Collagen damage, dryness, and barrier dysfunction—often worsened by treatments, medications, and sun exposure—can accelerate the process.
So, what can you do to support healthier, more resilient skin?
In this episode, Dr. Barbara Paldus joins us to explore natural strategies to repair the skin barrier, support collagen health, and reduce inflammation. Founder of Codex Labs, Dr. Paldus applies biotech innovation to skincare, inspired by her son's allergies to mainstream products. With a Ph.D. from Stanford and over 50 U.S. patents, her journey spans climate tech, vaccine biotech, and now, skin health through the gut-brain-skin axis.

Feeling stuck in your healing journey while others seem to make progress? The truth is, lasting relief from chronic skin issues like eczema and psoriasis isn’t just about the right supplement or diet — it’s also about mindset and how you show up in the process.
In this episode, I’m joined by pediatric skin-focused nutritionist Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, LDN, to explore the key mindset shifts we’ve seen in clients who get real results. Whether you're healing yourself or helping your child, this conversation offers insight into what truly supports skin recovery.

Scalp psoriasis affects nearly half of those with psoriasis — yet it’s often misdiagnosed and incredibly hard to manage. The itching, flaking, and emotional toll are real, and many treatments fall short, especially when hair thinning or loss becomes a concern.

Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) is a painful, life-altering condition that’s often dismissed by the medical community — despite its devastating impact on both adults and children. From sleepless nights to CPS threats against parents refusing more steroids, TSW presents enormous physical and emotional challenges.
In this episode, filmmaker and advocate Briana Banos returns to share her powerful journey and the impact of her documentaries Preventable and Still Preventable, which shine a light on the realities of TSW, its history, and the growing movement for awareness and reform.
If you’re wondering what TSW is or want to be part of the change, this episode is a must-listen.

Most people who need help with nervous system regulation, don’t realize that they need this type of help on their healing journey.
The nervous system’s role as the body’s “control panel” for healing and balance.What most people don’t realize about “Fight or flight” mode.How nervous system regulation that’s out-of-balance can block mindset work from being effective.Signs that your nervous system is in overload or shutdown mode.The connection between nervous system health and chronic skin flares.Simple tools for nervous system regulation to reduce stress.How to manage your nervous system so it doesn’t hit shutdownWhy addressing your nervous system is foundational to root-cause healing.
So, have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, you’re stuck in a cycle of frustration with your skin or health? Maybe you’ve diligently followed every protocol, adjusted your diet, and practiced mindset shifts—yet progress feels just out of reach. It’s not your fault. In today’s episode, we uncover why mindset alone isn’t enough and how your nervous system could be the missing piece in your healing journey.
I’ve long known that surface-level strategies like “positive thinking” or “stress management” don’t actually do anything. Maybe you’ve noticed this too.
So if you’re familiar with “fight or flight” mode, then you likely know that staying in that state for an extended period is problematic for nervous system regulation.
But what’s missing from the conversation is “shutdown”… essentially a third state that is your body’s ultimate protective mechanism—a state that often goes unnoticed because it doesn’t require a catastrophic event to trigger it.
Eliza Kingsford joins me for this episode that is perfect for you if you’ve ever been paralyzed by overwhelm or struggling to follow through with even the simplest self-care steps. Eliza is a licensed therapist who helps people experience breakthroughs using a unique combination of applied neuroscience and nervous system regulation training to guide her clients to permanent change, even if they’ve been struggling for decades.
Because how balanced your nervous system is directly impacts chronic skin issues. This is why learning practical ways to shift your nervous system out of overwhelm and into a state of healing can be a significant step you need toward lasting progress.
Let’s dive in!
In This Episode:
Quotes
“Your nervous system is your control panel—it governs everything you think, feel, say, and do. Without addressing it, true healing can’t happen.”
“It’s not your mindset holding you back; it’s your nervous system’s ability to handle the load. Without tools to regulate it, even small stressors can feel overwhelming.”
“Mindset hacks won’t work if your nervous system is stuck in a protective state. You can’t think your way out of a physiological response.”

If you’ve ever googled “leaky gut” because someone said it’s why your skin is a mess, this episode is for you. While leaky gut (aka gut permeability) is common, it’s not the root cause of chronic skin issues like eczema or psoriasis—it’s a symptom of deeper problems.
In this episode, I’m sharing my interview on the Balanced Bites podcast with Liz Wolfe where we dive into this and more. I hope it gives you clarity on what’s really behind your skin struggles.

Ever feel like staying positive is impossible—especially when you're stuck dealing with painful, chronic skin rashes? You're not alone. And no, this isn’t about toxic positivity that ignores your reality.
There’s a mindset shift called practical optimism that might actually help. It holds space for pain, grief, and tough emotions, while giving you tools to better cope—and maybe even grow—from your challenges.
To explore how this works, I’m joined by Dr. Sue Varma—a nationally recognized psychiatrist, cognitive behavioral therapist, and author of Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being.
Dr. Varma shares how you can reframe your mindset in a realistic, grounded way—even if life feels overwhelming right now. If you’re navigating skin-related burnout or emotional exhaustion, this is one episode you don’t want to miss!

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). With medical training from Colombia, Duke, and Baylor, and research experience at the NIH, Dr. Franco brings a wealth of knowledge to this nuanced conversation about topical steroids, glucocorticoids, and their pros and cons.

Ever wanted to grow your own sprouts but thought it was too hard? It’s easier than you think—and your liver will thank you!
Sprouts, especially broccoli sprouts, are a powerful way to support liver detox and add serious nutrition to your meals. After getting tired of slimy store-bought sprouts, I learned how to sprout at home—and now even my husband helps (and he doesn’t even eat them!).
To walk us through how to grow sprouts, the difference between sprouts and microgreens, and how to avoid moldy or slimy sprouts, I’m joined by Doug Evans—natural food pioneer, founder of The Sprouting Company, and author of The Sprout Book. He’s here to show you just how simple it is to grow your own sprouts in a jar.

Curious about the difference between colostrum and immunoglobulins? If you’ve seen the buzz around colostrum, you’ll want to know why immunoglobulin (IgG) supplements may be a significantly better choice.
Colostrum is lower-potency —and not always standardized—while immunoglobulins are more concentrated so they can better support gut health, histamine intolerance, food poisoning recovery, and immune defense during cold + flu season.
In this episode, I break down how IgGs work, why I prefer them over colostrum, and how to spot high-quality supplements (and avoid fake products online—even on Amazon!).

Struggling with hormonal or perimenopause weight gain—and tired of extreme diets or workouts? It’s time to focus on metabolism-boosting foods like protein, amino acids, and creatine.
In this episode, Liz Wolfe joins me to unpack why decades of confusing health advice haven’t worked for women 35+. We’ll explore how to eat and move smarter—not harder—plus whether fasting and creatine really work for women in perimenopause and menopause.

Think gut parasites are only a concern if you have digestive problems (like diarrhea)? Think again.
Parasites can trigger chronic skin problems—even without gut symptoms—and are notoriously hard to detect. From eczema and chronic hives to hidden nutrient deficiencies, the signs are often missed, especially in developed countries like the US.
Joining me is pediatric skin-focused nutritionist Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, to unpack the skin–parasite connection, testing pitfalls, and what clues to watch for.
