Think gut parasites are only a concern if you have digestive problems (like diarrhea)? Think again.

Parasites can trigger chronic skin problems—even without gut symptoms—and are notoriously hard to detect. From eczema and chronic hives to hidden nutrient deficiencies, the signs are often missed, especially in developed countries like the US.

Joining me is pediatric skin-focused nutritionist Jennifer Brand, MS, MPH, CNS, to unpack the skin–parasite connection, testing pitfalls, and what clues to watch for.
