Did you know that skin problems can be signs of hidden parasites-gut imbalances? And that if you have a skin rash like chronic hives, psoriasis, or eczema, the chances that you have gut parasites are quite high?

“Why am I so itchy?” If you have itchy skin without rash, including issues like eczema, psoriasis, or chronic hives, you might have neuropathic itch.

If you didn’t know, markers for candida in stool tests aren’t very trustworthy. This is a challenge when you’ve invested money to figure out what’s going on in your gut that is also impacting your skin.

What are the causes of eczema? Can you get eczema genes? Is psoriasis genetic?

Ever heard of a tick meat allergy (also known more formally as alpha-gal syndrome)? This is caused by the bite of a very specific type of tick which then triggers an allergy to mammalian meat (that comes from cows, pigs, sheep, etc.).

Let’s talk about hemp seed oil for skin benefits! This powerful, nutrient-rich seed oil is loaded with skin-friendly vitamins and fatty acids that are fantastic for your skin — especially when it’s dry and itchy.

Childhood eczema treatment options can get confusing fast, especially if you don’t know what’s driving your child’s itchy skin rash in the first place. If your child is scratching constantly, it’s easy to blame histamine (and think it’s a histamine intolerance issue). Or if they have scaly eczema skin, it’s easy to blame food and start to cut more …

Adult hormonal acne can start to affect every facet of your life. It can cause self-esteem issues, stress, and anxiety.

That’s why digging de…

As you probably know by now, perimenopause is the hormonal transition period leading to menopause. Typically, this starts in a woman’s late 30s, continues through your 40s, and even into your early 50s – basically until you hit menopause. If you’…

I’ve discussed topical steroid withdrawal symptoms and TSW skin concerns extensively on the Healthy Skin Show, but there is still so much about this condition that isn’t well understood. Partly because we don’t yet have much research on TSW. So when I heard that Dr. Ian Myles was looking into topical steroid withdrawal symptoms, I had to get him on…

Did you know that what’s living up in your nose could be a trigger for what causes sinusitis?

If you’ve found it frustrating that no one can tell you why you have chronic urticaria hives (including chronic spontaneous urticaria, dermatographia, and even angioedema), I feel you. Especially when IgE allergies are ruled out (testing is negative) or even avoiding what you’re allergic to isn’t helpful. At that point, most doctors will say that t…

If you have psoriasis, you have a 30% chance of developing psoriatic arthritis symptoms!
