The Healthy Skin Show 110: Missing Links Between Your Little One's Skin Rashes & Mom's Health w/ Jennifer Brand, MS, CNS
Seeing a baby struggle with chronic skin rashes is heartbreaking. Today's guest is here to talk about how mom's health has the potential to impact her baby's skin health.
My guest today, Jennifer Brand, is an integrative and clinical nutritionist with a Master's degree in public health, a Master's degree in nutrition, and she’s a Certified Nutrition Specialist.
She specializes in childhood skin rashes (eczema, psoriasis, tinea versicolor, hives, acne, vitiligo, and others), food allergies and sensitivities, and gut problems.
Jennifer’s own struggle with gut problems, and her father’s battle with psoriasis turned psoriatic arthritis left her frustrated with conventional medicine. She knows first hand that a different approach is needed:
- An approach that doesn’t remove more foods from the diet. Your body runs off of nutrients from foods you eat. When they are missing, imbalances develop and symptoms and health problems follow.
- An approach that doesn’t include stronger prescription steroid creams. No one has skin rashes because of a steroid cream deficiency!
Jennifer is a relentless detective putting her strong knowledge of nutritional biochemistry to work for you, to identify what’s driving symptoms and health problems in order to address the root cause of them.
Jennifer’s work has been featured in peer-reviewed scientific journals and Voyagela, as well as on podcasts, online summits, and in-person presentations at venues such as Casa Colina Hospital in Pomona California.
Join us as we discuss the link between a baby's skin rashes and the health of their mother.
