432: Can Parasites Cause Eczema? When Normal Test Results Aren't Normal

What if you could dramatically reduce your environmental allergies with just THREE treatments over eight weeks instead of years of traditional allergy shots or daily antihistamines? While it sounds too good to be true, ExACT Immunoplasty is the real deal. It’s a newer allergy treatment that most doctors don’t know about.In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Chris Thompson, a board-certified otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon with more than 25 years of experience specializing in allergy, sinus, and nasal care. He’s published a study that looked at using this technique to stop cedar allergies, and is now well-versed in ExACT Immunoplasty.We dive into what’s involved with these shots, what sets it apart from conventional allergy shots or drops, and who is a good candidate for it. So it’s you’re fed up with severe seasonal + environmental allergies, this is the conversation for you!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/433  - 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)!

Can parasites cause eczema, even if your digestion seems perfectly normal and your lab results come back clean? My client had tried EVERYTHING to get his stubborn eczema under control, but nothing seemed to work. What we eventually uncovered challenged some common assumptions about parasites without symptoms and the reliability of stool testing.In this episode, I'm sharing the surprising clue buried in this case that changed the direction of my client’s eczema journey. You'll discover why negative test results don't always tell the whole story, and why it’s worth digging into what might have been overlooked when conventional approaches fail.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Can a supplement backfire and cause side effects you didn’t expect? Yes, absolutely. Just because a supplement is popular or recommended by someone you trust doesn't mean it's right for YOUR body and your health concerns, even if you have the same condition or diagnosis.In this episode, I'm breaking down six popular supplements that can cause isues, as well as the risks you should know about, and why understanding what's happening beneath the surface matters so much. From probiotics and “natural GLP-1” supplements to biotin, liver detoxes, and betaine HCl, I'll explain what can go wrong and what I recommend considering instead.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Get P2 Detox Balance Liver Detox Support 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/p2detoxbalance-pod - Get Digest Aid 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/digestaid-pod - Get Histagut Relief IgG 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/histagut-pod - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/431 - 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)!

For years, I dealt with dry cracked lips despite using natural lip balms that I had stashed everywhere and reapplying it up to 10 times a day. About four years ago, I realized that constantly needing to reapply lip balm all day long might actually be a sign that it wasn’t working. Especially if you are either wiping it off or eating most of it.In this episode, I’m sharing why oil-based lip balms don’t fix your lips (especially not hydration), why your lips dry out so easily, and how oil-based balms differ from a wax-forward formula. Plus I share how I totally stopped having dry cracked lips by creating the Soft Lip Conditioner Balm (and how to use it for best results).⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Try the Soft Lip Conditioner Balm (Use code SOFTLIPPOD20 for 20% off) 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/softliprebuilder-pod - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/430 - 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 you have Hashimoto’s or hypothyroidism (low thyroid), you’ve probably heard about certain foods you should avoid. But what if a thyroid-friendly diet is less about cutting out gluten, dairy, and other foods, and more about making sure your thyroid has the right nutrients it needs to thrive?In this episode, we’re challenging common thyroid diet rules and exploring foods for thyroid health, plus how to build simple, nutrient-dense meals without turning meals into another source of stress. We’ll also discuss controversial thoughts on thyroid medication, why your TSH doesn’t tell the whole story, and the surprising connections between low thyroid function and chronic skin issues.Ginny Mahar, FMCHC joins me on the show. She is a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, creator of Hypothyroid Chef, and author of the THYROID30® Cookbook. After her own diagnoses of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, Ginny combined her culinary background with nutrition and coaching to help others make thyroid-friendly eating practical, nourishing, and delicious.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/429 - Get The Thyroid30 Cookbook 👉 https://a.co/d/0fkhQZUN - 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 you’re dealing with a dermatographia rash or chronic hives, you may have been told that histamine intolerance is to blame. But if you’re avoiding high-histamine foods, taking antihistamines, and trying to control every possible trigger while your skin STILL reacts, there may be more to the story.In this episode, I’m sharing the important difference between histamine intolerance and what I call histamine overload. You’ll also hear Sonia’s story of going from highly reactive dermatographia to clear skin, reintroducing foods she loved but avoided, and even enjoying a hot, sunny trip to Mexico without her dermatographia skin flaring.⭐️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/428 - 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?

What do you do when your eczema treatment plan isn’t working even though testing uncovers root cause issues? This was a reality that Jenn faced after years struggling with eczema and a hellish two-year topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) journey. She tried multiple protocols and even an aggressive parasite treatment, yet her eczema barely improved.Now that her skin has healed, it’s natural to ask what changed! Her turning point wasn’t another supplement, elimination diet, or harder-hitting protocol. In this episode, I’m sharing Jenn’s eczema healing journey, why chasing one potential root cause after another can keep you stuck, the reason why “die-off” doesn’t mean your protocol is working, and what steps actually made the difference to finally help Jenn’s get calm, clear skin.⭐️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/427 - 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?

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)!
