Hi There!
I’m so glad that you’re here because I know how frustrated you’ve felt dealing with chronic skin issues that your dermatologist seems clueless on.
For two years, my hands were completely wrecked by eczema.
And they only got worse no matter the conventional treatments I tried (as recommended by my dermatologists and what I could buy over-the-counter).
The pain, redness, unrelenting itchiness, cracking, burning, oozing, super dry, fragile skin drove me nuts and made me feel like a leper.
People didn’t want to shake my hands or touch me (because they thought I was diseased).
I had to wear these blue disposable gloves all the time because I couldn’t get my hands dirty (let alone touch water because of how badly it burned).
I couldn’t work out.
I had to limit how much I could shower and wash my hands (which only reinforced that I felt dirty).
My hands would drive me nuts itching them uncontrollably in the middle of the night (preventing me from getting sleep).
And I felt shame and disgust at my own body because of how ugly my hands had become as well as how people would stare and make unkind comments.
Eventually, I threw in the towel with the dermatologists after realizing that they had NO CLUE what was triggering the underlying problem.
And that’s when everything changed because I was able to completely resolve my own eczema by determining my unique cluster of root causes and addressing them (no more band-aids!).
So know that when I say “I’ve been in your shoes,” I literally mean it.
My personal journey has given me a deep level of compassion and empathy for what you’re going through.
And that’s what drove me to become a clinical nutritionist… to help others who truly want to feel better and get back to a normal life.
That’s why I want you to know that…
You don’t have to go it alone anymore.
As a clinical nutritionist with a focus on functional nutrition, I work with highly motivated adults whose chronic skin rash issues aren’t getting better with conventional treatment (and even with food eliminations).
Because your health journey is unique, I look deeply into your case to create custom-tailored protocols using food, supplements, and lifestyle changes (that are realistic for you) to rebalance your system.
I am a co-pilot with you on your health journey ready to help fill in the blanks, answer questions, and cheer you on.
Together we discover the root causes underlying why your skin won’t rebuild properly.
This way, we can put the brakes on what’s triggering your skin challenges in the first place — no more band-aids!
And we put an end to that sense of paralysis that often comes from reading a lot of conflicting information from too many health “talking heads”.
If you’re ready to get the attention and support you deserve so you can finally get answers and feel better, my virtual Skin Repair Starter Session is the best place to start.
My 3 Promises for Our Time Together
Our time together serves three purposes…
I want to learn more about your skin challenges and additional health issues beyond the skin plaguing you, and the overlooked clues that will help us find the root causes.
You’ll leave our private chat with an understanding of how to actually address these root causes we find together and at least 1 thing to change ASAP.
Finally, we’ll discuss whether I or another practitioner in my practice is the right person to guide you through this root cause healing planning and how it works.
I look forward to talking with you soon, but before you book please verify you’re a good client fit for my practice.
Who this is Right For:
- You are open to coaching from someone with more experience than you who may challenge your beliefs about what will help you get back to being a healthy person.
- You are willing, motivated, and ready to follow directions and do the work needed to get healthy.
- You do not want to travel and are comfortable working over the phone (or Skype if you’re outside of the US).
- You want appointments to start on time and have a skilled practitioner actually researching your case (rather than relying on cookie-cutter solutions).
- You have funds to spend directly on your health or a way to finance it.
Who this is NOT Right for:
- If you have Cancer or rare serious diseases, I’m not the best person to advise you.
- If you tend to “practitioner jump” (specifically with functional/holistic practitioners) and have trouble staying committing and seeing programs through.
- If you refuse to look any deeper than dietary changes and just want me to give you a more restrictive diet.
During your 30-minute Skin Repair Starter Session, we will:
- Discuss what’s been working and what makes you feel worse.
- Identify the critical steps that have been overlooked or skipped that likely hold important clues to determining your root cause.
- Get clear on your values, lifestyle, and goals so that the road forward is in line with what you feel is best for you.
- Create an effective plan of action based on your health history, lab work, and other critical details.
Before you schedule, please read the following three points…
- Because we have very limited room for new clients, strategy sessions are for those who are serious about working with me (or another practitioner in my practice) and want to be considered for a spot.
- We do not accept insurance (but do accept HSA cards & Flex Spending Accounts). Clients who work with me privately invest $600 to $5000 depending on the details of their unique case.
- We see/work with clients virtually. There are no in-person appointments. All sessions are completed over the phone/Skype/Zoom.
ARE YOU READY to rebuild healthy, beautiful skin?
Please note that you must complete the intake form before our scheduled session or else your appointment will be canceled and no refund will be granted.
If for any reason you are unable to keep your appointment, know that we have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy.
I am excited to sit down and chat soon!
Sincerely,
Jennifer

What Other Clients Have Said…
“I had scaly, red eczema blotches on my elbows, hips, and even behind my ears. For most of my life, I never had this issue. The rashes were driving me crazy — like not being able to sleep because of all of the itching!! I got really frustrated with doctors because they just totally shrugged it offer — it’ll “go away,” or just use a creme and get used to it.
So I tuned into Jennifer’s Eczema & Psoriasis Awareness Week and then scheduled a private call with her after tuning in so that I could make sure I was getting the best direction. I was tired of wasting time (and not to mention all the money on creams that didn’t work).
The personalized direction that I learned from Jennifer and her event gave me the missing pieces to *finally* getting my eczema to stop. It wasn’t overnight as Jennifer clearly explained, but she helped me see that my eczema wasn’t really a skin issue. There was a connection to an imbalance in my gut that she helped me figure out a plan to work on.”
And finally, I can say… NO MORE ITCHING! THANK YOU, Jen!! You saved my skin and my sanity.

“I ended up with awful, red yeasty rashes on my body that my dermatologist just didn’t have a clear answer on how to resolve. The antifungal creams would work for a bit, but then the rashes would come back. I was so embarrassed about them because it was to a point where I couldn’t really hide them anymore even with makeup or clothing. Plus I was exhausted all of the time and had what doctors called “stress-related symptoms” that were strange, but to them didn’t seem connected.
So I reached out to Jennifer and I’m really glad that I did because the rashes are FINALLY gone. My skin is clear and even the redness that wouldn’t go away in my face has dissipated. She determined that the yeast issues I’d suffered with for at least a decade were really at the root of my skin problems and that I was pretty depleted of key nutrients that my body needed to work at its best. Though it initially all seemed overwhelming, Jen made it really clear what we needed to focus on first and created a special plan for me so that I didn’t need to do any research. I just needed to follow her directions!
Aside from the rashes, I now have way more energy (than I’ve had in years!), my digestion is straightened out and I’m just feeling so much better overall.
One of the biggest pluses is that she prioritized making the plan and what I would need to do manageable for my very busy life. Nothing was difficult and she never asked me to do or eat anything weird! In fact, I love that she was able to help me resolve my symptoms without resorting to a restrictive elimination diet.
And I have to share that Jen opened my eyes about what I needed to do to take my health into my own hands. She asks questions that literally no doctor has ever asked me (that helped us figure out this puzzle), guided me to the proper tests, coached me to ask the right questions of my doctor, and calmed my fears about what we might find. She was clear and to the point and very specific in her recommendations. There was no gray area – I did what she told me to and I started to feel better.
I’m so grateful to you, Jen! Thank you for connecting the dots and digging deeper so that I can finally feel like my old self again!”

“I had been diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2000 and continued to have stomach aches, diarrhea and itchy, dry eczema rashes on my fingers along with excessive anxiety, panic and brain fog. I found Jennifer online and began working privately with her in October 2017.
Thanks to Jennifer’s help, my skin rashes have finally cleared up and my digestion is better than I’ve ever had in my entire life. And I have been able to get off of my last anxiety medication and feel like having a happier outlook is my biggest WIN!!
In case you’re wondering, I would like to encourage anyone looking to figure out the deeper issues to work with Jennifer. She listened to me and is such an encouraging, dedicated person. She has spent hours reviewing my labs, came up with a plan that I could follow and helped guide me through it every step of the way. And I’m so appreciative to have her in my corner.”

“For the better part of 25 years, I’ve was frustrated and embarrassed by awful dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis). Dark clothes were the bane of my existence because within an hour I’d look like I was covered in snow. My hairline would become a frightful reddish pink with huge thick flakes peeling away from my scalp. I tried all sorts of shampoos and “natural remedies”, but nothing worked. Not even anything my doctors tried.
As a last ditch effort of hope, I began working with Jennifer. I loved her practicalness and energy because it gave me hope and she made it very clear that I had a partner to help me which meant a lot.
I have to be honest… at first, I was skeptical of her plan. She determined from testing and our long visits that my gut and liver were out of balance. I’d never heard this before and it seemed like a leap. But I followed her directions and I saw my flare-ups and flakes get less and less. Today, I am 98% clear and flare-free, and no longer need any special dandruff shampoos.
For the first time, I can wear something dark and not worry or panic. I just can’t even begin to express my gratitude for all of your hard work, Jen. I wish I’d found you sooner.”

“I had been unable to lose weight and the rash on my hands was so bad I was unable to wear my rings for over 2 years. I started working with Jennifer Fugo and in just 2 months, I lost 11 pounds of inflammation by identifying and removing gut triggers.
As for my hands, I wanted relief from the itching and swelling that comes along with this annoying rash. I’m happy to report that my rash is much more under control and my hands are not nearly as swollen. Thank you again, Jennifer, for ALL you did in getting me started on a healthier path!”
