In this episode, I’ll break down why topical zinc can be so helpful, how to choose the right form, and what to avoid when using it.

Struggling with night sweats, brain fog, fatigue, or irregular cycles? These frustrating symptoms could point to perimenopause—the hormonal transition leading up to menopause that often begins in your late 30s or 40s.

Many women feel unprepared for this phase, especially when it comes to understanding hormone changes and whether hormone replacement therapy is safe.

Joining me to break it all down is Dr. Carrie Jones, a board-certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist and hormone expert with over 20 years of experience. We’ll unpack what’s really happening in perimenopause and explore safe, effective ways to find relief.

Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), also known as red skin syndrome, is a debilitating condition triggered by prolonged use of topical steroids—often prescribed for eczema, psoriasis and other skin issues. Despite growing awareness, TSW remains poorly understood due to limited research.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ian Myles, head of the Epithelial Therapeutics Unit at NIH, who is currently researching TSW. We break down his complex findings into clear insights to help you better understand what’s next for TSW research.

After a recent episode on black seed oil, I was flooded with questions—so we’re diving deeper into its benefits for rashes, itchy skin, and even hair shedding.

Black cumin seed oil is rich in thymoquinone, known for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties. It's also packed with skin-supportive nutrients and is typically well-tolerated, even for sensitive skin—one reason it’s featured in all our DermaQuell creams.

Joining me is skincare formulator and holistic expert Rachael Pontillo to break down how to safely use black seed oil, what to look for in products, and its potential for skin relief.

Did you know your nasal microbiome could be a hidden trigger for non-allergenic rhinitis, sinus infections, chronic nose rashes, and even skin issues like eczema or psoriasis? When the balance of bacteria and fungi in your sinuses shifts, it can create a ripple effect of inflammation throughout the body.

Moringa oil is a centuries-old skincare ingredient gaining popularity for good reason. Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, it supports the skin barrier and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. It also contains quercetin, a natural compound known for reducing inflammation and histamine reactions—making it a great option for rashes.

Confused about the difference between food allergy testing and food sensitivity testing? You’re not alone! Many believe food allergies are all-or-nothing, but reactivity can exist on a spectrum—especially for IgE-mediated responses that can change over time.

In this episode, Dr. David Fitzhugh, an allergist/immunologist specializing in food immunotherapy, breaks down the pros and cons of common tests (like skin prick and blood tests), why false positives happen, and the risks of unnecessary food eliminations—especially with chronic skin issues like eczema.
