The Healthy Skin Show

Thinking about how to change your mindset might bring on eye rolls, but shifting how you view your annoying (or debilitating) symptoms can have a huge impact on your quality of life.No one is spared from things in life that cause suffering. And yes, living with chronic skin problems, including Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), can seriously damage your confidence and self-worth.I’ve often heard from clients that how their day will go is dictated by what their skin will decide to do. And while I understand the challenge inherent to the unpredictability of your skin, allowing external factors like your skin to have such enormous control over your mindset and daily experience sets you up for failure.And with time, you likely will start to feel victimized by your skin (and other symptoms) and rather powerless.Joining me to discuss mindset growth, healthier emotional habits, and more is Brad Bizjack.

No skin condition, no amount of results, no success, no anything will ever make you more worthy than you already are. Never. And if you think that for some reason the way your skin looks makes you a better or worse person, or more enough or less enough, you're giving your personal power away to something that should not be dictating how you live your life.”“There are gifts in every bit of negativity you could ever experience, because contrast creates clarity.”LinksFind Brad Bizjack online | InstagramJOIN ME → Sign up for the Success Accelerator challengeHealthy Skin Show ep. 131: Mindset: What To Do When Nothing Seems To Help Your RashesReady to figure out your skin’s root causes so you can finally fix your skin + break free from meds to manage your skin?My virtual clinic works with adults worldwide struggling with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, urticaria, hives, dandruff, perioral dermatitis + more.Trusted by over 1000 clients, we get results WITHOUT restrictive elimination diets.Schedule an assessment call at https://skinrepaircall.com/

Tired of flaky, itchy scalp + dandruff issues that don’t go away?

Yellow, brittle, or raised nails can be a sign of nail psoriasis or a fungal nail infection.Finger and toe nail psoriasis often hides under the nail bed, making it hard to spot until inflammation and damage set in.

Can gut parasites be a hidden trigger driving your skin issues nuts?Chronic hives, eczema, and psoriasis have links to gut microbiome imbalances. Yes, it’s possible to have parasites even if you don’t have digestive symptoms. In fact, parasite infections often fly under the radar and can show up in surprising ways.Joining me to explore how parasites affect skin (especially in kids) is Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS—a pediatric skin-focused clinical nutritionist. Together we dive into how to spot hidden infections, where “parasite hot spots” are, and what to do next.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Jennifer Brand online - https://jennifercarynbrand.com/ - GOT RASHY KIDS?

Dr. Shawn Kwatra, Chair of Dermatology at the University of Maryland and author of "Living with Itch," dives into the enigmatic world of neuropathic itch where intense scratching meets nerve dysfunction. He explains how this condition manifests without visible rashes, often impacting quality of life. The conversation highlights innovative treatments like low-dose naltrexone and the need for a collaborative approach between dermatologists and pain specialists. Dr. Kwatra calls for increased awareness and research to unearth better solutions for those suffering from this common issue.

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. From environmental triggers and microbiome imbalances to nutrient deficiencies and chemical exposures—there’s far more at play than just your DNA.We also explore how modern genetics may have misled how doctors approach treating chronic conditions which is detailed in his book Gattaca Has Fallen. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by the “it’s genetic” explanation, this one’s for you.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Find Dr. Ian Myles online - https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/ian-myles-md-mph - Gattaca Has Fallen (book) - https://www.amazon.com/GATTACA-HAS-FALLEN-Population-Genetics/dp/B0CK3VCV6Y - 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)!

You’re not alone.In this episode, I’m sharing stories from skin rash warriors (struggling with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or chronic hives) who’ve felt dismissed, gaslit, and abandoned by the conventional medical system. We’ll explore the emotional toll these experiences take—eroding hope, trust, and motivation—and what you can do to reignite your belief in healing.

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)!

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)!
