Coffee enemas are hyped online for liver detox and gut health, but the risks are often overlooked.While influencers claim coffee enema benefits like boosted energy and toxin removal, coffee enemas can actually trigger liver and gut imbalances, toxin buildup, systemic inflammation, and even dependency.If you're serious about supporting your liver safely, tune in to learn why I don’t recommend coffee enemas — and what to do instead.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Optimize your liver detox in my Liver Detox Masterclass – https://bit.ly/liverdetox-pod - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/383 - Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Do you feel like your PMS is “on steroids”? Maybe it shows up with intense mood swings or what feels like “period flu” every month. If so, you could be dealing with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)—a condition that affects 5–8% of women, yet is often brushed off by conventional doctors.PMDD symptoms can be incredibly disruptive, especially if you’re also struggling with histamine intolerance. In fact, there’s a growing connection between PMDD and histamine issues—something that can be even more dysregulating for neurodivergent women.To unpack this and explore natural PMDD treatments and relief strategies, I’m joined by Dr. Jolene Brighten—renowned hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author of Beyond the Pill and Is This Normal. With her background in naturopathic endocrinology and passion for root-cause healing, Dr. Brighten is here to help you better understand your hormones and take back control of your health.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dr. Jolene Brighten - http://www.drbrighten.com/- Book: Is This Normal? by Dr. Jolene Brighten - https://amzn.to/3gNiHIB- Beat Histamine Intolerance Masterclass - https://bit.ly/hist-intol-MC - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Are elimination diets really the holy grail for gut healing and clearer skin—or are they quietly creating problems no one warns you about?In this personal episode, I share my journey of cutting out gluten, dairy, and eggs for years—and what happened when I finally tried to reintroduce them. Spoiler: it wasn’t smooth. From misinterpreting food sensitivity tests to developing deep food fears, I open up about how “clean eating” ended up taking a toll on my health, happiness, and social life.If you're stuck on an elimination diet, afraid to reintroduce foods, or wondering if restriction is really the answer—this episode is for you. Let’s bust some myths and get real about what true healing actually looks like.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See the references + transcript 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/381 - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Ever been diagnosed with stasis dermatitis? If you’re dealing with swelling, redness, or relentless itchiness on your lower legs, it’s not just dry skin or aging—it could be a sign of poor circulation.Stasis dermatitis is more than just a rash. If left unchecked, it can lead to painful ulcers, infections, and serious complications. It’s often mistaken for cellulitis, which means unnecessary antibiotics—and in one case, a patient was hospitalized 11 times before getting the right diagnosis. And heads up—it doesn’t just show up on legs. It can also affect areas like the belly and lower back where blood tends to pool.To help us unpack this overlooked condition, I’m joined by Dr. Peter Lio—a board-certified dermatologist and eczema expert. He’s a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern, Harvard-trained, and has published over 100 papers, including a textbook on integrative dermatology.Dr. Lio breaks down what stasis dermatitis is, why it’s often missed, and how to spot it early. If you or someone you love has unexplained swelling, itchy legs, or chronic redness—don’t miss this episode!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dr. Peter Lio - https://chicagoeczema.com/ - See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/380- Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Have you ever wondered if sourdough bread is gluten-free — or if it could be a safe, healthy option for those with chronic health issues? You're not alone, and after years of asking the same questions, I’ve finally got some answers.In today’s episode, I speak with Dr. Bill Schindler, an archaeologist and food scientist, about the surprising truth behind sourdough. We dive into how modern bread differs from traditional sourdough, why so much of what’s sold (and shared on social media) is misleading, and how fermentation can transform grains into a gut-friendly food.Dr. Schindler, founder of the Modern Stone Age Kitchen, is on a mission to revive ancient food prep techniques that could help restore health. If you’ve been avoiding gluten or sourdough for years — or are just curious if it’s worth a try — this episode is for you.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:Modern Stone Age Kitchen: https://modernstoneagekitchen.comDr. Bill Schindler’s Book, Eat Like a Human: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Like-Human-Nourishing-Revolutionize/dp/0316244880Follow Bill Schindler on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbillschindler/?hl=enShow references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/379Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

If your body reacts intensely to even the smallest triggers — from healthy foods to sunlight or exercise — you might be dealing with a mast cell activation issue. These reactions often go far beyond typical histamine intolerance and can feel isolating, especially when others don’t understand what you’re going through.In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Shapiro, RD, an integrative dietitian who’s helped thousands navigate anxiety, gut and immune issues, and complex sensitivities. We explore what it means to have a “highly sensitive body,” how this ties into conditions like Ehlers-Danlos and hypermobility, and why getting answers can be so challenging.If you’re tired of feeling like your symptoms are a mystery, this conversation is for you.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Michelle Shapiro’s Website - https://michelleshapirord.com/- Show references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/378- Quiet the Diet Podcast - https://www.quietthediet.com- Beat Histamine Intolerance Masterclass - https://bit.ly/hist-intol-MC - Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Liver detox remedies are everywhere online — especially for chronic skin issues. But before jumping into a cleanse, it’s essential to ask why your liver might be struggling in the first place.In this episode, I join Dr. Jill Carnahan on Resiliency Radio to talk about how poor liver detox is often tied to gut imbalances and skin inflammation. We cover the liver-gut-skin axis, how to reduce fatty liver (especially with psoriasis), and the emotional weight of chronic skin conditions.If you're just starting to explore root causes (and liver detox), this is a great place to begin!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dive deeper with Jennifer’s 2-hour Liver Detox Masterclass - https://bit.ly/liverdetox-pod - Best no-skin-flare liver detox formula - https://bit.ly/P2liverdetox-pod  - Show references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/377- Join in the conversation with Jennifer at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://bit.ly/stopmyrashespod - Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!

Frustrated by aging skin, especially after years of skin issues? Collagen damage, dryness, and barrier dysfunction—often worsened by treatments, medications, and sun exposure—can accelerate the process.So, what can you do to support healthier, more resilient skin?In this episode, Dr. Barbara Paldus joins us to explore natural strategies to repair the skin barrier, support collagen health, and reduce inflammation.
