My guest this week is Jen Fugo.

In this episode, Jen and I focus on skin conditions in children and teens, and looking deeper for real solutions when diet and prescriptions are not working or not enough to clear skin issues. Issues like acne, eczema, psoriasis and more are becoming very common, and they can take a massive physical and mental health toll on kids and parents. While conventional medicine offers some helpful tools, many families find themselves frustrated with ongoing symptoms or challenges, which sometimes can be extremely debilitating from the discomfort, pain, anxiety or embarrassment related to these skin conditions. Jen shares many research-based integrative ways to understand and truly get to the underlying cause of what’s going on with skin issues to resolve them for good, so kids (and adults) can thrive, not only physically, but mentally as well.

Jenn Fugo is a clinical nutritionist empowering people who've been failed by conventional medicine to beat chronic skin and unending gut challenges. She has experience working with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, dandruff, hives and more, with clientele ranging from regular folks to celebrities and professional athletes. She also founded her own line of skincare and supplements, available specifically for people suffering with these chronic skin issues. Jen holds a master's degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport and is a licensed dietitian, nutritionist and certified nutrition specialist. Her work has been featured on Dr. Oz, many podcasts, summits, and all kinds of places. She's a faculty member of the LearnSkin platform, an Amazon Best Selling Author, and the host of the Healthy Skin Show.
