Summary
#460: Today we sit down with Jennifer Fugo, a clinical nutritionist and host of The Healthy Skin Show podcast, to dive deep into the complexities of chronic skin issues. Jennifer shares her personal journey with skin conditions such as dyshidrotic eczema and hidradenitis suppurativa, and how her passion for integrative approaches has driven her to help others heal. We discuss the often-overlooked connections between gut health, liver function, and skin problems, challenging the one-size-fits-all mentality of conventional treatments. Jennifer provides practical advice on nutrition, debunks common myths, and emphasizes the importance of nervous system regulation and the potential benefits of combining conventional and natural methods. This transformative conversation offers hope and practical strategies for anyone struggling with chronic skin conditions.
