382: What Is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder + How Awful Hormonal PMDD Symptoms Are Linked To Histamine Intolerance w/ Dr. Jolene Brighten Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

Do you feel like your PMS is “on steroids”? Maybe it shows up with intense mood swings or what feels like “period flu” every month. If so, you could be dealing with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)—a condition that affects 5–8% of women, yet is often brushed off by conventional doctors.

PMDD symptoms can be incredibly disruptive, especially if you’re also struggling with histamine intolerance. In fact, there’s a growing connection between PMDD and histamine issues—something that can be even more dysregulating for neurodivergent women.

To unpack this and explore natural PMDD treatments and relief strategies, I’m joined by Dr. Jolene Brighten—renowned hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author of Beyond the Pill and Is This Normal. With her background in naturopathic endocrinology and passion for root-cause healing, Dr. Brighten is here to help you better understand your hormones and take back control of your health.

381: The Elimination Diet Problems No One Talks About (My Own Personal Journey) Apr 17, 2025

Show notes

Are elimination diets really the holy grail for gut healing and clearer skin—or are they quietly creating problems no one warns you about?

In this personal episode, I share my journey of cutting out gluten, dairy, and eggs for years—and what happened when I finally tried to reintroduce them. Spoiler: it wasn’t smooth. From misinterpreting food sensitivity tests to developing deep food fears, I open up about how “clean eating” ended up taking a toll on my health, happiness, and social life.

If you're stuck on an elimination diet, afraid to reintroduce foods, or wondering if restriction is really the answer—this episode is for you. Let’s bust some myths and get real about what true healing actually looks like.

380: What’s Stasis Dermatitis (And What Does This Leg Rash Mean)? w/ Dr. Peter Lio Apr 10, 2025

Show notes

Ever been diagnosed with stasis dermatitis? If you’re dealing with swelling, redness, or relentless itchiness on your lower legs, it’s not just dry skin or aging—it could be a sign of poor circulation.

Stasis dermatitis is more than just a rash. If left unchecked, it can lead to painful ulcers, infections, and serious complications. It’s often mistaken for cellulitis, which means unnecessary antibiotics—and in one case, a patient was hospitalized 11 times before getting the right diagnosis. And heads up—it doesn’t just show up on legs. It can also affect areas like the belly and lower back where blood tends to pool.

To help us unpack this overlooked condition, I’m joined by Dr. Peter Lio—a board-certified dermatologist and eczema expert. He’s a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern, Harvard-trained, and has published over 100 papers, including a textbook on integrative dermatology.

Dr. Lio breaks down what stasis dermatitis is, why it’s often missed, and how to spot it early. If you or someone you love has unexplained swelling, itchy legs, or chronic redness—don’t miss this episode!

379: Is Sourdough Bread Gluten Free + Healthy? (Sourdough Bread Benefits + How To Tell If It’s Real) w/ Dr. Bill Schindler Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever wondered if sourdough bread is gluten-free — or if it could be a safe, healthy option for those with chronic health issues? You're not alone, and after years of asking the same questions, I’ve finally got some answers.

In today’s episode, I speak with Dr. Bill Schindler, an archaeologist and food scientist, about the surprising truth behind sourdough. We dive into how modern bread differs from traditional sourdough, why so much of what’s sold (and shared on social media) is misleading, and how fermentation can transform grains into a gut-friendly food.

Dr. Schindler, founder of the Modern Stone Age Kitchen, is on a mission to revive ancient food prep techniques that could help restore health. If you’ve been avoiding gluten or sourdough for years — or are just curious if it’s worth a try — this episode is for you.

378: If You’re Highly Sensitive (How Mast Cell Activation Diseases Make You Super Reactive) w/ Michelle Shapiro, RD Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

If your body reacts intensely to even the smallest triggers — from healthy foods to sunlight or exercise — you might be dealing with a mast cell activation issue. These reactions often go far beyond typical histamine intolerance and can feel isolating, especially when others don’t understand what you’re going through.

In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Shapiro, RD, an integrative dietitian who’s helped thousands navigate anxiety, gut and immune issues, and complex sensitivities. We explore what it means to have a “highly sensitive body,” how this ties into conditions like Ehlers-Danlos and hypermobility, and why getting answers can be so challenging.

If you’re tired of feeling like your symptoms are a mystery, this conversation is for you.

377: Natural Liver Detox Tips That Rebalance The Gut-Skin Connection (For Chronic Skin Problems) Mar 06, 2025

Show notes

Liver detox remedies are everywhere online — especially for chronic skin issues. But before jumping into a cleanse, it’s essential to ask why your liver might be struggling in the first place.

In this episode, I join Dr. Jill Carnahan on Resiliency Radio to talk about how poor liver detox is often tied to gut imbalances and skin inflammation. We cover the liver-gut-skin axis, how to reduce fatty liver (especially with psoriasis), and the emotional weight of chronic skin conditions.

If you're just starting to explore root causes (and liver detox), this is a great place to begin!

376: Natural Remedies to Build Collagen For Skin Health w/ Dr. Barbara Paldus Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

Frustrated by aging skin, especially after years of skin issues? Collagen damage, dryness, and barrier dysfunction—often worsened by treatments, medications, and sun exposure—can accelerate the process.

So, what can you do to support healthier, more resilient skin?

In this episode, Dr. Barbara Paldus joins us to explore natural strategies to repair the skin barrier, support collagen health, and reduce inflammation. Founder of Codex Labs, Dr. Paldus applies biotech innovation to skincare, inspired by her son's allergies to mainstream products.

375: Is Melatonin Bad For You? (Plus, Melatonin Benefits, Dosing + Side Effects) w/ Dr. Deanna Minich Feb 20, 2025

Show notes

“Is melatonin bad for you?” It’s one of the most common questions I get — often fueled by misinformation claiming it shuts down your body’s natural production.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Deanna Minich, a nutrition scientist and expert in functional medicine, to bust this myth and explain why that fear is not only false but scientifically impossible. We explore melatonin’s powerful role beyond sleep — including its impact on the skin, gut, and overall health.

Show notes

Scalp psoriasis affects nearly half of those with psoriasis — yet it’s often misdiagnosed and incredibly hard to manage. The itching, flaking, and emotional toll are real, and many treatments fall short, especially when hair thinning or loss becomes a concern.
