Today I’m chatting with Jennifer Fugo all about the root causes of common skin conditions.
Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS is a clinical nutritionist empowering women who’ve been failed by conventional medicine to beat chronic skin and unending gut challenges. Because she’s overcome a long history of gut issues and eczema, Jennifer has empathy and insight to help her clients discover missing pieces and create doable integrative plans. Jen launched www.Skinterrupt.com interrupt the failed conversation about chronic skin problems with helpful alternatives that you aren’t being told about.
She has a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport and is a Certified Nutrition Specialist. Her work has been featured on Dr. Oz, Reuters, Yahoo!, CNN, and many podcasts and summits. Jennifer is an Amazon best-selling author and the host of the Healthy Skin Show podcast.
In this episode, Jennifer shares her own personal journey with eczema and how she discovered the root cause. She talks about the real root causes of skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis, nutrition for healthy skin, and the connection between gut health and skin. She shares the best and worst foods for skin health, how to adjust your macros for better skin, and how gluten affects the gut and the skin. She also chats about how to cope with people who aren’t supportive, the best tests to get done to find your root cause, topical products to use and avoid with skin conditions, and more.
