July 02 420: Why Did A Probiotic Make My Eczema Worse? (Same Goes for Psoriasis and Other Flare Ups)
Many people turn to probiotics hoping they'll improve both their gut health and even their skin. But what if your digestive symptoms (or that skin rash) actually get worse after starting them? In this episode, I explain what a reaction to probiotics means, why it shouldn’t just be viewed as "die-off", and what it says about your gut health.
We'll also explore the truth about probiotic side effects, why probiotics aren't the right fit for everyone, and how hidden gut imbalances can change the way your body responds. If you've ever wondered whether you should keep taking a probiotic that's making you feel worse, this episode will help you understand what's really going on and what steps to take next.

June 05 Symptoms of Parasites and Parasite Myths Keeping You From Healing (And Why I Changed My Mind About Parasites)
Think you’d know if you had parasites? Many people assume parasite symptoms are obvious, like severe diarrhea or illness after international travel. But as this episode reveals, parasites can show up in unexpected ways, including constipation, chronic skin rashes, and symptoms unrelated to digestion.
Join me to unpack three common parasite myths that you cannot trust. And believing in them keeps you from healing while distracting you from important clues in your own health journey. You'll learn why you can’t trust negative test results, how past travel can be a major clue, and commonly missed parasite signs that many functional practitioners blame on other problems.

April 30 415: What Causes Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? (And Sneaky Food Sensitivity Triggers) w/ Dr. Izabella Wentz
Bloating after meals, constipation, or sudden urgency to run to the bathroom are often brushed off as normal, but they can be signs of irritable bowel syndrome. In this episode, we unpack why IBS is often treated as a label to justify medications rather than a sign pointing you to issues brewing under the surface.
Joining me today is Dr. Izabella Wentz, an integrative pharmacist, thyroid expert, and bestselling author known for helping people uncover the root causes of chronic health issues.
So if you have tried elimination diets, probiotics, or leaky gut supplements without lasting relief, this conversation is for you!

April 02 413: Are Infant Drool Rash + Cradle Cap Eczema Red Flags For Babies? w/ Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS
Persistent drool rash can be more than just a messy phase. In this episode, we explore how red, irritated cheeks, especially when they flare at certain times of day, may be early clues that a baby’s skin barrier is struggling and that deeper eczema-related issues could be developing.
We also unpack how signs like cradle cap, colic, diaper rash, flushing with foods, and mucus in stools can fit into a bigger picture. Tune in to learn how to tell the difference between a drool rash, an eczema flare, and a possible allergic reaction, so you can feel more confident about what your baby’s skin may be trying to tell you.
My guest, Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, LDN, is a clinical nutritionist who helps babies and children with chronic rashes get to the root causes of their skin issues. Known for her pediatric skin-focused approach, she is passionate about helping families support healthy skin through her signature method, Rashes Be Gone.

March 12 412: How To Get Diagnosed With Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome (NEW Guide To Help Your Doctor) w/ Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman
Topical steroid withdrawal syndrome is finally getting the serious attention it deserves. In this episode, talk about the first published criteria to help doctors diagnose TSW (also known as red skin syndrome) and why it will help validate the experience of people who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told they simply have severe eczema.
We also dig into the growing gap between patient experience and conventional dermatology, and why that disconnect has left so many people searching for answers on their own.
Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman, DACM, L.Ac, Dipl.OM, joins me to discuss this and more! She is the owner of Amethyst Holistic Skin Solutions and brings extensive training in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and dermatology to this timely discussion.
