    415: What Causes Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? (And Sneaky Food Sensitivity Triggers) w/ Dr. Izabella Wentz

    Bloating after meals, constipation, or sudden urgency to run to the bathroom are often brushed off as normal, but they can be signs of irritable bowel syndrome.

Joining me today is Dr. Izabella Wentz, an integrative pharmacist, thyroid expert, and bestselling author known for helping people uncover the root causes of chronic health issues.

    413: Are Infant Drool Rash + Cradle Cap Eczema Red Flags For Babies? w/ Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS

    Persistent drool rash can be more than just a messy phase. In this episode, we explore how red, irritated cheeks, especially when they flare at certain times of day, may be early clues that a baby’s skin barrier is struggling and that deeper eczema-related issues could be developing. We also unpack how signs like cradle cap, colic, diaper rash, flushing with foods, and mucus in stools can fit into a bigger picture. Tune in to learn how to tell the difference between a drool rash, an eczema flare, and a possible allergic reaction, so you can feel more confident about what your baby’s skin may be trying to tell you. My guest, Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, LDN, is a clinical nutritionist who helps babies and children with chronic rashes get to the root causes of their skin issues.

    412: How To Get Diagnosed With Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome (NEW Guide To Help Your Doctor) w/ Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman

    Topical steroid withdrawal syndrome is finally getting the serious attention it deserves. In this episode, talk about the first published criteria to help doctors diagnose TSW (also known as red skin syndrome) and why it will help validate the experience of people who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told they simply have severe eczema.  We also dig into the growing gap between patient experience and conventional dermatology, and why that disconnect has left so many people searching for answers on their own. Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman, DACM, L.Ac, Dipl.OM, joins me to discuss this and more! She is the owner of Amethyst Holistic Skin Solutions and brings extensive training in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and dermatology to this timely discussion. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode: - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/412  - 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)!
