431: 6 Popular Supplements That Can Backfire (One Sent My Client to the Hospital)
2026/10/15 | 23 mins.Can a supplement backfire and cause side effects you didn’t expect? Yes, absolutely. Just because a supplement is popular or recommended by someone you trust doesn't mean it's right for YOUR body and your health concerns, even if you have the same condition or diagnosis.
In this episode, I'm breaking down six popular supplements that can cause isues, as well as the risks you should know about, and why understanding what's happening beneath the surface matters so much. From probiotics and “natural GLP-1” supplements to biotin, liver detoxes, and betaine HCl, I'll explain what can go wrong and what I recommend considering instead.

2026/10/08 | 16 mins.For years, I dealt with dry cracked lips despite using natural lip balms that I had stashed everywhere and reapplying it up to 10 times a day. About four years ago, I realized that constantly needing to reapply lip balm all day long might actually be a sign that it wasn’t working. Especially if you are either wiping it off or eating most of it.
In this episode, I’m sharing why oil-based lip balms don’t fix your lips (especially not hydration), why your lips dry out so easily, and how oil-based balms differ from a wax-forward formula. Plus I share how I totally stopped having dry cracked lips by creating the Soft Lip Conditioner Balm (and how to use it for best results).

2026/10/01 | 57 mins.If you have Hashimoto’s or hypothyroidism (low thyroid), you’ve probably heard about certain foods you should avoid. But what if a thyroid-friendly diet is less about cutting out gluten, dairy, and other foods, and more about making sure your thyroid has the right nutrients it needs to thrive?
In this episode, we’re challenging common thyroid diet rules and exploring foods for thyroid health, plus how to build simple, nutrient-dense meals without turning meals into another source of stress. We’ll also discuss controversial thoughts on thyroid medication, why your TSH doesn’t tell the whole story, and the surprising connections between low thyroid function and chronic skin issues.
Ginny Mahar, FMCHC joins me on the show. She is a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, creator of Hypothyroid Chef, and author of the THYROID30® Cookbook. After her own diagnoses of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, Ginny combined her culinary background with nutrition and coaching to help others make thyroid-friendly eating practical, nourishing, and delicious.

2026/09/24 | 17 mins.If you’re dealing with a dermatographia rash or chronic hives, you may have been told that histamine intolerance is to blame. But if you’re avoiding high-histamine foods, taking antihistamines, and trying to control every possible trigger while your skin STILL reacts, there may be more to the story.
In this episode, I’m sharing the important difference between histamine intolerance and what I call histamine overload. You’ll also hear Sonia’s story of going from highly reactive dermatographia to clear skin, reintroducing foods she loved but avoided, and even enjoying a hot, sunny trip to Mexico without her dermatographia skin flaring.

2026/09/17 | 17 mins.What do you do when your eczema treatment plan isn’t working even though testing uncovers root cause issues? This was a reality that Jenn faced after years struggling with eczema and a hellish two-year topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) journey. She tried multiple protocols and even an aggressive parasite treatment, yet her eczema barely improved.
Now that her skin has healed, it’s natural to ask what changed! Her turning point wasn’t another supplement, elimination diet, or harder-hitting protocol. In this episode, I’m sharing Jenn’s eczema healing journey, why chasing one potential root cause after another can keep you stuck, the reason why “die-off” doesn’t mean your protocol is working, and what steps actually made the difference to finally help Jenn’s get calm, clear skin.
