    370: Why The Leaky Gut Diet Doesn’t Work (And Other Ways Functional Medicine FAILS Eczema, Psoriasis + Other Skin Problems)

    If you’ve ever googled “leaky gut” or “leaky gut diet” because you’ve seen wellness experts claim that leaky gut is why your skin is a mess…This episode is for you.To be fair, there’s a pretty big chance you have leaky gut.BUT, it’s not a root cause of chronic eczema or psoriasis or any of the other skin issues we talk about on the show.Leaky gut syndrome (also known more formally as gut permeability) is caused by other factors. So while it’s a problem, it’s just not THE problem.So in today’s...

    369: Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Review (Especially If You Have Psoriasis, Liver Detox or Metabolic Health Concerns)

    If you’re curious to try a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), this episode is a must-watch!Blood sugar regulation and metabolic health are HOT topics right now, and considering that some skin issues (like psoriasis) make you prone towards having issues, I frequently have these conversations with clients.Being that I’m perimenopause with a family history of diabetes, I thought it would be a good idea to try a over the counter CGM monitor purely to gain insight into my blood sugar balance and me...

    368: How To Create A Positive Mindset (Even If You Have A Negative Outlook Right Now) w/ Dr. Sue Varma

    There is power in having a positive mindset, even if you have a negative perspective right now.No, I’m not talking about toxic positivity, which encourages people to always look on the bright side (often ignoring or glossing over loss, pain, grief, etc.).I’m talking about practical optimism, a concept I learned about from the book Practical Optimism by Dr. Sue Varma.Practical optimism is a way to change your mindset that holds space for negative feelings and experiences, while equipping you w...

    367: Is Your Rash From Mold (And Should You Get Mold Testing)? w/ Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS

    Wondering if you have a skin rash from mold? This episode is for you!If you or your child has a skin rash and you can’t figure out the cause, you may start to look at mold illness or mold toxicity as a possible trigger.And if you suspect that you live or spend time in “fungally” environments with a high likelihood of mold, perhaps doing a mold test has crossed your mind.I’m often asked if mold testing is necessary or if a chronic skin rash (and other health issues) could be caused by mold. So...

    366: What Are Topical Steroids (aka. Glucocorticoids) + How They Actually Work In Your Body w/ Dr. Luis Franco

    What are topical steroids? Often prescribed for chronic skin conditions, I’ll bet you’ve probably used them at some point during your treatment.Sure, they work quickly, but are they without side effects? To answer that question, we need to talk about glucocorticoids, which are hormones naturally produced by the adrenal glands as part of the stress response.Topical steroids fall under the glucocorticoids category, and due to those who’ve experienced something called topical steroid withdrawal,...

    365: How To Grow Sprouts + Microgreens (To Support Liver Detox) w/ Doug Evans

    If you’ve wanted to start growing your own sprouts, this is for you! I learned how to grow sprouts after becoming fed up with the expensive packages from the store getting slimy a day or so after buying them.I’ve continued to sprout different types of seeds and encourage clients to also do this, since sprouts (especially broccoli sprouts) are so good for your liver detoxification.So if you think that sprouting is hard to learn – it’s not!In fact, it’s so easy that my husband who doesn’t even ...

    364: Immunoglobulin vs Colostrum Benefits (For Leaky Gut, Histamine Intolerance, Itchy Skin + More)

    Ever heard of immunoglobulins? While colostrum is experiencing a renaissance, you should seriously weigh the immunoglobulin supplement versus colostrum benefits.Partly because colostrum is a LOWER potency option, that sometimes isn’t even standardized (depending on the brand) to guarantee how helpful it will be.That said, immunoglobulins (aka. IgGs) can be incredibly helpful for things like leaky gut (gut permeability), histamine intolerance, recovering from a stomach bug or food poisoning, a...

    363: The End Of Extreme Diets + Exercise: Why Protein, Creatine + Metabolism-Boosting Foods For Perimenopause Weight Gain Are Better w/ Liz Wolfe

    If you’re over extreme diets or exercise (especially if you’re in perimenopause or menopause), metabolism-boosting foods such as higher protein intake with amino acids and creatine is a better way to go.This is especially important if you’re currently struggling with hormonal or perimenopause weight gain that you just can’t seem to lose!The shared challenge that many women face has a lot to do with confusing and mixed messaging you’ve been exposed to for decades – from counting calories...
