421: Dupixent Not Working? The Overlooked Reason Nobody Checks For

After more than 10 years of battling psoriasis, my client Marc felt like he’d tried everything: elimination diets, supplements, creams, high-dose vitamin D, and even UVB light therapy. After all the research he’d done, nothing created the lasting change he wanted, leaving him wondering why his skin wasn’t responding, despite doing everything “right”. The turning point in Marc’s psoriasis healing journey came when he stopped approaching his skin like everyone else online based on the common, but faulty assumption that everyone with psoriasis has the same underlying problems. In this episode, I share what happened when Marc finally stopped guessing and we looked at his labs and case history through a different lens. The changes were so remarkable that even his dermatologist was amazed by how much his skin had improved.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Register NOW for the Fix My Skin Workshops where I’ll walk you through this same process 👉https://gutskintriggers.com - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/426 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE Root Cause Quiz - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Want personalized help to fix your skin?

For years, I quietly dealt with painful Hidradenitis Suppurativa until a surprising conversation with a friend told me how laser hair removal was a gamechanger for her HS. I was skeptical, but it ultimately became the HS treatment that made the biggest difference in my flares.In this episode, I’m sharing my experience with this treatment, who is most likely to benefit, types of lasers that work best, and how to possibly get this covered by your insurance. While this isn’t a “root cause” fix for HS, it certainly can bring you relief if you’re the right candidate for it, AND what you can do to then get at what’s driving all that inflammation in the first place!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references + the HS laser hair removal insurance request form 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/425 - 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)!

If your face has gotten redder, more reactive and burning in your in your 40s or 50s (or your rosacea seems much worse), perimenopause rosacea could be an important piece of the puzzle. Emerging research suggests shifting hormone levels can trigger and also influence rosacea symptoms, including acne bumps, reactive skin, flushing, burning, stinging + increased skin sensitivity.Before you JUST blame this all on hormones, hormone-triggered rosacea must be looked at from a few different perspectives. In this episode, I’m diving into fascinating research connecting hormones, your gut microbiome + rosacea severity, plus what to consider when the usual rosacea fixes aren't giving you sustainable results.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/424 - Get the Rosacea Reset Masterclass 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/rosacea-rescue-pod - 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)!

Bone loss can happen silently for years, which is why osteoporosis isn’t often discovered until you break a bone. In this episode, we explore why osteoporosis isn’t simply an inevitable part of aging, plus the medications, nutrition, exercise, inflammation, and gut-bone connection that may influence your fracture risk.We’ll also unpack some surprising problems with DEXA scans, including why improving your bone density score doesn’t always mean your fracture risk has improved. You’ll learn what else matters for building stronger bones and why protecting bone health should start long before an osteoporosis diagnosis.My guest is Dr. John Neustadt, ND, an integrative and functional medicine expert and bestselling author of Fracture-Proof Your Bones. He has published more than 100 medical articles and is internationally recognized for his work on osteoporosis and fracture prevention.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/423 - 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)!

It’s easy to blame yourself when medications like Dupixent, Adbry, or Ebglyss don’t work (or work well enough), your doctor says that you’ve “failed” it and it’s time to move on to something else. Very often, no one is asking, "Why wasn't Dupixent able to work in the first place?" which could uncover important clues about your eczema case potentially lurking under the surface.Because YOU didn’t fail the drug, and before moving on to something else, this is what you absolutely need to consider.Plus, we’ll talk about a little-known warning in the safety information for Dupixent and other IL-13-blocking biologics specifically about parasites. So let’s dive into what I’ve seen in clients prescribed these medications and why what looks like drug failure to their doctor could be an important root cause clue.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/421 - 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)!

And believing in them keeps you from healing while distracting you from important clues in your own health journey.
