Have you found yourself saying/feeling something really similar?
Real email that I go yesterday from a community member:
"Hey Jen, I'm just stumped at this point. My doctor doesn't know what to tell me anymore. Fortunately I came across your podcast in some random FB group and am listening to every episode that applies to me. I've tried so many suggestions over the past 2 years that haven't really helped much or have made my skin freak out even worse.
I don't understand why I can't figure this out when other people seem to get relief with these things. I'm really frustrated (if you can't tell) and don't know if you have any idea why nothing seems to work. I'm tired of using all these creams especially the topical steroid but I don't know what else to do."
Can you relate?
I know what it's like to seek answers from people in Facebook groups because your doctor doesn't seem to have any other ideas for you.
In those groups, you get bombarded by
different lotion or product recommendations.
Then not long after,
almost every food you love is demonized + you start wondering if your diet will soon consist of just air.
And then a
litany of random supplements will be suggested -- many of which are recommended inappropriately because "doing research" brought these individuals to an inaccurate conclusion about what that particular supplement actually does (I say this as a clinical nutritionist trained to use supplements as part of a therapeutic regimen).
AND equally problematic -- you might have a
doctor who doesn't really listen to you (or you just have NO IDEA what to ask or push for).
Like my one client who had a serious skin infection, but was repeatedly told that she
didn't have one by at least 3 different doctors before one finally agreed to do a culture.
Turns out,
she had MRSA (antibiotic-resistant staph). Another client who also went through this recently ended up having a
Pseudomonas skin infection (
yikes!!).
After a certain point, it's frustrating to be without answers and
still struggling.
Compounded by a
serious lack of sleep because of intense itching and pain...
Those who have rashes in areas that
make it difficult to move -- on the feet or ankles, hands, or around the joints...
Bad outbreaks + flares on the face, ears or neck.
I could keep going on + on, but you get the picture.
To be honest, I hate seeing this happen to you.
The time spent trying all these different random suggestions is lost time (a truth I learned all too well on my own journey).
That's why I'd really love to help you
get clarity about why this approach isn't working by testing out ALL the recommendations from random people (and possibly your practitioner).
So here's the deal...
My big masterclass is coming up

During the masterclass, I will discuss:

- Recent real-life examples from my clinical practice of how these mistakes made things worse for clients
- How to look at inflammation (this is a big clue you need to understand if you want an alternative approach to help!)
- Gut-Skin Connection AND Liver-Skin Connection (why detoxing your gut + liver is a BAD idea)
- What holistic steps you CAN + CAN'T do while using medicine for your skin (like steroids, biologics, immunosuppressants, JAK inhibitors)
