356: Troubleshooting Candida In Stool Tests (+ Other Labs) w/ Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS

Think candida is the cause of your skin issues? Be careful—stool tests aren’t always reliable for spotting candida overgrowth.While signs like thrush, vaginal yeast infections, or diaper rash are more obvious, other symptoms can be subtle and easily ignored. Candida-driven inflammation in the gut can show up as rashes, eczema, or other skin problems—especially in kids.Joining me is pediatric skin-focused clinical nutritionist Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS. We explore how candida overgrowths show up in both children and adults, and why a full-body approach matters more than any one test result.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Jennifer Brand online - https://jennifercarynbrand.com/ - GOT RASHY KIDS?

Do you have eczema or psoriasis because “you got bad genes”? Doctors often say these conditions are larely genetic—but is that really true?In this episode, Dr. Ian Myles, head of the Epithelial Therapeutics Unit at the NIH, joins me to unpack why blaming genes oversimplifies what’s really going on on the skin.

353: Crazy Meat Allergy Triggered By Ticks (Here’s The Deal On Alpha-Gal Syndrome) w/ Dr. David Fitzhugh

Ever heard of a tick meat allergy? Also known also Alpha-gal syndrome, this is a allergic reaction to mammalian meat (like beef, pork, or lamb) caused by a tick bite. Unlike typical food allergies, symptoms can take hours to appear—making it tough to diagnose.This tricky condition often requires a major diet overhaul and makes choosing supplements more complicated since mammalian ingredients aren’t part of the top 9 allergens.To break it all down, I’m joined by Dr. David Fitzhugh, a North Carolina-based allergist who specializes in food immunotherapy and complex allergic conditions.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Dr. Fitzhugh online - https://www.allergypartners.com/chapel-hill-nc/ - 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)!

352: Dermatitis Herpetiformis (Celiac Gluten Rash) Symptoms + Treatment w/ Dr. Peter Lio

Got an itchy rash that looks like eczema—but gluten seems to make it worse? It could be dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), a skin manifestation of celiac disease.DH causes intensely itchy, blistering rashes (often more itchy than eczema). Because the trigger is gluten, going 100% gluten-free (even with skincare) is key to relief.Dr. Peter Lio returns to explain how to spot DH, why it’s often misdiagnosed, and what you can do to get it under control.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dr. Peter Lio - https://chicagoeczema.com/ - 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)!
