    409: How To Stop Tinnitus (What Ringing In Your Ears Warns About Your Health) w/ Dr. Ben Thompson

    If you're trying to figure out how to stop tinnitus — that persistent ringing in your ears that interferes with sleep and focus — this episode is for you. Tinnitus affects over 10% of the U.S. population and is often misunderstood as a minor issue, when it can actually be an early warning sign of hearing loss, deeper nervous system imbalances, dementia as well as kidney and cardiovascular problems. My guest, Dr. Ben Thompson, AuD, is an audiologist and founder of Treble Health, a telehealth company specializing in tinnitus and hearing loss care. With a strong background in evidence-based therapies and a passion for education, Dr. Ben shares what really causes tinnitus, how it connects to brain health, and the proven strategies that can help you finally find relief. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode: - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/409  - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo  - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

    407: When A Penicillin Drug Allergy (Or Allergic To Other Meds) Goes Away: How To Figure This Out w/ Dr. Mariana Castells

    If you’ve got a penicillin allergy, this episode is crucial for you! That’s because you can outgrow a drug allergy like this even if you developed it as an adult. Antibiotic allergies are either misdiagnosed or fade over time. Even if you avoid taking antibiotics like the plague, having a drug allergy on your medical chart can end up limiting treatment options if you find yourself truly needing them. In this episode, my guest, Dr. Mariana Castells, breaks down how drug allergies are diagnosed, how long they take to disappear, why they can appear later in life, and how “drug delabeling” could dramatically improve your care (especially when something serious happens). Dr. Mariana Castells, M.D., Ph.D., is a world-renowned expert in allergy and immunology with over 30 years of experience.  Whether you have an antibiotic allergy (or you know someone who does), this is a must-listen interview! ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode: - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/407  - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo  - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

    406: Histamine Intolerance Symptoms: Everything You Know Is Wrong (And Why A Low Histamine Diet Won’t Stop Chronic Hives)

    Do you feel like you get crazy histamine intolerance symptoms as your body reacts to everything — certain foods, smells, stress, or even the weather? Symptoms such as itchy skin, rashes, dermatographia, angioedema, bloating, or headaches that seem to appear out of nowhere are often linked to histamine intolerance. But before you blame your diet and dive headfirst into a low-histamine diet, know that food isn’t likely to blame. After working with over 1,000 clients, I can tell you that there are deeper, more pressing issues that drive urticaria and chronic hives. Let’s dive into why you probably don’t have histamine intolerance (despite having all the symptoms), how histamine intolerance differs from MCAS, and what’s really triggering these crazy histamine reactions. From mold exposure to liver detox issues and hormone imbalances, we explore how these hidden factors can lead to ongoing inflammation and itchy skin that just won't quit. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode: - FREE Root Cause Finder Guide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/rootcauseguide-pod  - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/406  - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo  - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide -https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

    405: Staph aureus + Eczema: Why This Inflammatory Bacteria Is A Problem You Shouldn’t Ignore (Especially When Your Skin Flares) w/ Dr. Peter Lio

    Is it just an eczema (atopic dermatitis) flare or could it be something else? Most people don’t realize that Staph aureus could be the hidden skin flare trigger that actively weakens your skin barrier, triggering more inflammation, itchiness, and persistent eczema symptoms. Even if it seems “normal,” the presence of Staph might point to deeper imbalances that need attention. In this episode, we dig into how Staph aureus, the gut microbiome, environmental toxins, and even air pollution can all contribute to recurring eczema. Joining me is Dr. Peter Lio, a board-certified dermatologist and respected voice in integrative dermatology. He’s a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern University and has authored over 100 papers, along with a textbook on Integrative Dermatology. If you’re ready to understand why your eczema isn’t clearing up, this is a must-listen conversation filled with insight and practical takeaways. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode: - Learn how to address your Eczema root causes 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyeczemamc-pod  - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/405  - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo  - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

    404: What’s REALLY Causing Picky Eating In Children (And How You Can Get Your Kid To Eat What You Cook) w/ Alyssa Miller RD

    If mealtimes with your child have become a daily battle, you’re not alone. Picky eating isn’t always just a phase, and unfortunately many of the tactics that your parents used on you (like “You can’t leave the table until you clean your plate”) often backfire.  In this episode, I am joined by Alyssa Miller, RD, a picky eating specialist, to explore the real reasons that drive picky eating in toddlers and young children, including underlying gut issues and nutrient deficiencies.  So if you’re looking to get your child to eat more foods, and make mealtime peaceful again, Alyssa is here to help you find practical strategies to make your picky eater feel safe trying new foods without pressure, bribing, or giving in.  ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode: - Join Alyssa’s Free workshop to stop picky eating 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/alyssa-miller-training  - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/404  - Stop My Eczema Masterclass 👉 https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyeczemamc-pod  - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo  - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod  - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

    403: Crazy Link Between High Oxalate Diet, Candida Overgrowth + Heavy Metals (Especially If You Get Kidney Stones)

    Are oxalates really the villain in your diet that they’re made out to be? If you’ve dealt with kidney stones or spiraled down a health forum rabbit hole, you’ve probably heard that a high oxalate diet is responsible for joint pain, leaky gut + chronic skin problems. But does cutting out high oxalate foods truly fix the problem—or is it just part of the story? In this episode, we’re unpacking what oxalates really are, why your levels might be high (spoiler: it’s not always your diet), best tests for oxalates, strategies to lower oxalates (beyond just eating low oxalate foods), and the deeper root causes of high oxalates that most people miss—like candida overgrowth, gut imbalances, and even heavy metals. Confused by the oxalate fear-mongering? You won’t be after this. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode: - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/403  - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo  - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod  - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!
