The Healthy Skin Show

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://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-podFix 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://www.skinterrupt.com/histamineresetmc-pod- Join in the conversation with Jennifer 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)!

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://www.skinterrupt.com/liverdetoxmc-pod- Best no-skin-flare liver detox formula - https://www.skinterrupt.com/p2detoxbalance-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://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- 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. Founder of Codex Labs, Dr. Paldus applies biotech innovation to skincare, inspired by her son's allergies to mainstream products.

“Is melatonin bad for you?” It’s one of the most common questions I get — often fueled by misinformation claiming it shuts down your body’s natural production.In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Deanna Minich, a nutrition scientist and expert in functional medicine, to bust this myth and explain why that fear is not only false but scientifically impossible. We explore melatonin’s powerful role beyond sleep — including its impact on the skin, gut, and overall health.If you've been worried about melatonin supplements, this episode will give you a whole new perspective.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dr. Deanna Minich -  https://deannaminich.com- Show references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/375- Join in the conversation with Jennifer 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)!

Feeling stuck in your healing journey while others seem to make progress? The truth is, lasting relief from chronic skin issues like eczema and psoriasis isn’t just about the right supplement or diet — it’s also about mindset and how you show up in the process.In this episode, I’m joined by pediatric skin-focused nutritionist Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, LDN, to explore the key mindset shifts we’ve seen in clients who get real results.

Scalp psoriasis affects nearly half of those with psoriasis — yet it’s often misdiagnosed and incredibly hard to manage. The itching, flaking, and emotional toll are real, and many treatments fall short, especially when hair thinning or loss becomes a concern.In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jenny Bennett, a naturopathic doctor and autoimmune specialist, to break down the complexities of scalp psoriasis and reveal surprising root causes, including microbial imbalances that may be fueling the issue.If you’re struggling with scalp symptoms or worried about hair loss, this episode is full of practical insights to help you move forward.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Aria Integrative Medicine: https://ariaintegrative.com- Dr. Jenny Bennett’s TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@drjennybennett- Show references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/373- Join in the conversation with Jennifer 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)!

Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) is a painful, life-altering condition that’s often dismissed by the medical community — despite its devastating impact on both adults and children. From sleepless nights to CPS threats against parents refusing more steroids, TSW presents enormous physical and emotional challenges.In this episode, filmmaker and advocate Briana Banos returns to share her powerful journey and the impact of her documentaries Preventable and Still Preventable, which shine a light on the realities of TSW, its history, and the growing movement for awareness and reform.If you’re wondering what TSW is or want to be part of the change, this episode is a must-listen.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- ITSAN Advocacy Page: https://itsan.org/advocacy/ - Briana Banos’ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BrianaBanosPreventable- Show references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/372- Join in the conversation with Jennifer 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)!

If you’ve tried every protocol, adjusted your diet, and worked on your mindset — yet still feel stuck in your healing journey — your nervous system may be the missing piece.In this episode, I’m joined by licensed therapist Eliza Kingsford to explore how nervous system regulation plays a vital role in healing chronic skin issues. We go beyond “fight or flight” to uncover the often-overlooked “shutdown” state that can silently sabotage progress, even without major trauma.If overwhelm or inaction keeps getting in your way, this episode offers practical tools to help you shift out of survival mode and into a state of healing.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Eliza Kingsford’s Website: www.elizakingsford.com- Eliza on Instagram: @ElizaKingsford- Show references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/371- Join in the conversation with Jennifer 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)!

If you’ve ever googled “leaky gut” because someone said it’s why your skin is a mess, this episode is for you. While leaky gut (aka gut permeability) is common, it’s not the root cause of chronic skin issues like eczema or psoriasis—it’s a symptom of deeper problems. In this episode, I’m sharing my interview on the Balanced Bites podcast with Liz Wolfe where we dive into this and more. I hope it gives you clarity on what’s really behind your skin struggles.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Use Quell’s Digest Aid to help your gut optimally break down food - https://www.skinterrupt.com/digestaid-pod- Show references + transcript - https://www.skinterrupt.com/370 - 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)!
