Wondering if parasites are behind your skin or health issues? With social media buzzing about parasite cleanses, it’s easy to feel confused (or even panicked).

The truth is, not all parasites are harmful—some may even regulate your immune system. But others can silently contribute to chronic hives, cystic acne, and food sensitivities. And a poorly done parasite cleanse can backfire.

Joining me is Robin Foroutan, MS, RDN, an integrative nutritionist and stealth pathogen expert, to help you separate facts from internet hype and explore whether parasites are part of your root cause puzzle.

Calling all Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) warriors – if you’ve wondered whether diet changes could help. The short answer? It might. 

While diet alone won’t be a cure-all, many people have seen fewer flares and less pain by making specific changes.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what we do know about the Hidradenitis Suppurativa diet connection, what’s still unclear, and how you can start experimenting with a diet for HS without getting overwhelmed.

Peptides for skin and gut health are all the rage—but do they really work?

From BPC-157 to KPV and GLP-1 meds like Ozempic, these compounds are gaining traction for their potential to calm inflammation, support leaky gut, and improve chronic skin issues (psoriasis and eczema). But with so much hype, what’s real?

Joining me is Nathalie Niddam—holistic nutritionist, longevity educator, and host of the Longevity Podcast. She breaks down what peptides and bioregulators are, how they work, and whether they’re worth the investment.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
