    429: When a Thyroid-Friendly Diet Backfires: The Common Mistake That Can Stand in the Way of Healthy Thyroid Function w/ Ginny Mahar

    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)!

    428: Dermatographia Rash + Chronic Hives: Is Histamine Intolerance Really The Problem?

    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?

    427: Eczema Treatment Not Working? Why Everything Jenn Tried Made Her Skin Worse

    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?

    426: His Psoriasis Wouldn’t Go Away After 10+ Years of Trying Everything. Here’s What Finally Changed

    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?

    425: Laser Hair Removal for Hidradenitis Suppurativa: The Treatment That Finally Stopped My HS Flares

    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)!

    424: Rosacea Suddenly Worse in Your 40s or 50s? The HUGE Role Hormones Can Play in Perimenopause Rosacea

    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)!

    423: How to Strengthen Bones: Your Gut, Osteoporosis + DEXA Scan Problems w/ Dr. John Neustadt

    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)!

    "My allergy tests were normal”. Christa had itchy, painful, burning skin that suddenly appeared overnight. Yet all her testing all came back negative for allergies. With no clear answers, she was left struggling with histamine reactive eczema that hurt even when showering.
