The Healthy Skin Show

When you think of methods to detox from mold, bile may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But, as my guest today will explain, bile can actually play a huge role in how (and if) mycotoxins are leaving your body. My guest today is Dr. Jill Crista, a naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, and internationally recognized educator on mold illness. She helps people recover their health after exposure to toxic mold.

Once you feel like you’ve exhausted what your dermatologist can do for your skin, you start to wonder if there’s anything else you can dig into to help your rashes. Most people start with diet and try avoiding different foods. Eventually you might start to wonder if there’s something going on in your gut! And somehow you’ll stumble across a bunch of stool testing kits you can buy yourself. Many of the bigger brands advertise heavily across Google and social media hoping to catch your attent

We're constantly being told to consume less sodium…but what we're not told is that the quality of the sodium we're consuming makes a huge difference. It can even play a role in how well we absorb water! My guest today is Kaely McDevitt, a Registered Dietitian specializing in women's health. She owns a virtual private practice where she and her team help their clients overcome hormone and digestive issues through personalized nutrition.

Many people don't think twice about applying steroid creams near their eyes to get rid of rashes. But did you know that steroid creams can actually affect your eyes and your vision?

It’s not uncommon for people to ask me “Where is the best place to start working on my skin rashes?” While I have resources in place to help you with that like my Skin Rash Root Cause Finder, I want to give you a bit more of a road map to deal with things.

Mold and mycotoxins can have a huge impact on your health if left unchecked. You may know of the common sources of mold (like damp basements), but mold can also be found in really unexpected places. My guest today is Brian Karr, a second generation indoor environmental consultant who specializes in working with hypersensitive individuals with complex medical conditions.

Skin rashes can sometimes be a sign that our diet and lifestyle needs a change. While I am not a fan of very restrictive diets or long-term elimination diets, I do think dietary changes can be very helpful when trying to improve skin health. My guest today is Hanna Sillitoe, an author and skin healing expert based in Derbyshire, England. Having personally suffered for twenty years with eczema and psoriasis, Hanna now works with people to help them heal naturally through diet and lifestyle change.

Did you know that our eyes are an extension of the brain? It's true! And in many cases, products that are safe to use on the rest of the body aren't safe for use around the eyes. My guest today is Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett, a recognized leader in holistic and integrative biological dentistry, a published researcher, author, and top clinician.

Have you ever tried gua sha or dry brushing? Both these practices are linked to better lymph drainage, which can have a positive impact on skin health! My guest today will explain how. Gianna De La Torre is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist for the last 12 years. In 2018 she co-founded Wildling with Jill Munson and Britta Plug. She also became a mom in the same month that Wildling launched. Gianna still offers facial and intuitive acupuncture sessions in Los Angeles, California.

Today I'm continuing my conversation with Dr. Carrie Jones about licorice root, and whether it is a steroid. We also dive into environmental exposures, adaptogens, glandular support, and more! Dr. Carrie Jones is an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator on the topic of women’s health and hormones.

There has been a lot of controversy recently about licorice root and using it in people who have had excessive exposure to steroids. It's my hope that my guest today will clear up some misconceptions. This conversation isn't meant to tell you whether or not licorice (and other adaptogenic herbs) are appropriate for you. Instead, we're sharing some science behind things so you can make a more educated decision.

When you think of acne triggers, your mind might immediately go to hormones and gut health. But there are some surprising triggers for acne that might not have crossed your mind! My guest today is Lacey Dunn. Lacey is breaking the mold in the “dietitian world” as a fitness professional, bodybuilder, and registered dietitian.

Topical Steroid Withdrawal can make you feel hopeless, because it can be so difficult to control. Plus symptoms that you experience can be incredibly debilitating. I've personally worked with a number of TSW clients who said that the TSW was by far worse than their original skin issue and that some of the symptoms (like hair loss and not being able to sleep) really pushed them to a scary limit mentally.
