Skin Health with Jennifer Fugo

In this episode, I discuss skin health with Jennifer Fugo. Jennifer is a clinical nutritionist and a specialist in skin health.  We cover the following topics in this podcast:

• The role of food and diet on skin health
• Incidence of thyroid issues found in different types of chronic skin problems
• Common triggers for chronic skin problems that go beyond the common ones given by a dermatologist
• Why many suggestions don't work (even those on more "natural" websites)
• The pros and cons of typical skin medications and treatments
• Histamine, Histamine intolerance, and "histamine overload" 
• and more...
