This woman is more than just informative. I joined her program to address my lifelong psoriasis and I am getting better and better! It has been a life-changing experience, and I am so grateful.

Sallybegood · Aug 2026

Jennifer tells the TRUTH! Love this show and her approach to addressing skin problems from the root cause. I send a link to this podcast to someone needing answers almost weekly.

Charles Mayfield · Jan 2026

I’ve learned so much from Jennifer. Even as a dietitian, I’m not fully trained in all of these skin issues, I’ve learned so much from her!

brooke.mae.miller · May 2025

Thank you so much for covering alpha gal! I’m a 32 year old female living in Vermont my entire life and I was finally diagnosed with alpha gal syndrome after suffering with extreme GI and allergic symptoms for over 2 years and I actually brought the potential diagnosis to my PCP after a friend listened to a public radio interview and thought the person was describing similar symptoms to what I had been suffering, and sure enough I had it. I know I was bitten by a lone star tick at least one time I’m not aware of any other bites but it’s possible. It has been so difficult to cope with AGS but one of the hardest things is the lack of knowledge about this disorder and all the possible consequences of having it, similarities to auto immune disorders or potential to make the patient more susceptible to other disorders. And the possibility of other ingredients or alpha gal in medicine. Thank you for bringing awareness!!!
