The human body is complicated. So, it's time to remove the toxins from your skin care routine. Your skin isn’t being difficult — it’s being honest. We sat down with certified physician assistant and functional dermatology expert Kerry Jenkins to unravel why eczema, acne, rosacea, and psoriasis are spiking, even in children, and what it really takes to calm them for good. Instead of jumping straight to topical steroids or lifelong biologics, Kerry walks us through a root-cause roadmap that connects genetics, environment, nutrition, stress, and the gut-skin axis.
We dig into the rise of severe eczema in infants, the early onset of acne in preteens, and why women often carry a heavier chemical load thanks to daily personal care routines. Kerry explains how advanced stool testing reveals dysbiosis, parasites, inflammation and digestive breakdown — and why “test, don’t guess” beats trial-and-error. You’ll hear practical ways to reduce exposure to endocrine disruptors, choose cleaner products, and swap ultra-processed snacks for real food that feeds your microbiome, stabilizes hormones and cools inflammation.
We also challenge conventional sun advice with a nuanced take: avoid burns while using smart, gradual exposure to build a solar callus and support vitamin D, a powerful hormone tied to immune balance and skin repair. From circadian rhythm and hydration to movement, outdoor light, and stress skills, we share low-cost, high-impact habits that make skin more resilient. If you’ve felt stuck in flare-suppress-flare cycles, this conversation offers a clear path to lasting change — grounded, actionable, and empowering.
