Client Testimonials

Working with Jennifer Fugo privately on my chronic perioral dermatitis and rosacea, after completing the Skin Rash Rebuild program, was life-changing.

For so long, I had been listening to webinars, buying whatever products were suggested, all without much success or improvement.

Jennifer guided me on the tests I needed to ask my doctor for and what I could also test on my own (which revealed big problems I was so glad to find). The results and her analysis pinpointed pieces of my puzzle that no one had ever considered before so I could do something about it!

Thanks to her personalized protocols, I have experienced tremendous improvement in my perioral dermatitis, rosacea and gut health. AND I am sleeping better and feel generally more relaxed.

I’m so thankful that I finally decided to start working with a professional like Jennifer, whom I trust and so appreciate her work. If you are ready to make changes and willing to do the work, Jennifer Fugo is an excellent choice.

I just wanted to officially thank you for everything you did for me. The last few months have been particularly stressful and even with everything going on, I have zero eczema.

My hands are perfect. I think of you every time I wash dishes, bath my kids without gloves on, cook, workout, etc. Basically every time I use my hands! My dyshidrotic eczema was a huge quality of life issue and I know that had I not found you, I would still be suffering.

All that being said, it’s not even the best part. After years of not having a cycle, going through IVF to have babies and every single one of my doctors from naturopaths to MDs, being stumped, I weaned my son in September and got a period in November. Exactly 28 days later, I got one in December. This is just amazing!

After working with so many function-minded health professionals over the last decade, you are the real deal. Thank you for not wasting my time or money and truly addressing the root cause of my issues. I really can’t thank you enough.

Sonia worked with Jennifer in the Skin Rash Rebuild program.

I started working with Jennifer’s practice 1 year ago, when I was nearly 3.5 years into TSW. I was miserable, barely functioning, completely burnt out and no longer working.

My skin was very thick, profusely itchy and flakey, red and cracked. I couldn’t handle sun, heat or sweating. After so much time, money and energy trying to figure things out myself left me with decision paralysis, it was time to get professional guidance. 

I decided to work with Jennifer + her team, who I felt I could trust to take the lead and tell me what to do. While I endured some challenges (such as stubborn staph infection), having Jennifer to guide me through it all is what kept me confident that I would get through to the other side… and I did!

I am now in a place where I am able to start living my life again, after nearly 4.5 years of TSW!!! My skin elasticity has come a long way, I am significantly less itchy and flaky, my colour is coming back. I am able to handle the sun, heat and sweating again. I am making plans without worrying about having to cancel. I just went on my first vacation in over 4 years and was able to enjoy myself. I wondered for so long when this time would come, I am so happy it’s here!

I still have an occasional flare, but I am confident in managing it now as the possibility of a flare no longer dictates how I live my life. I am continuing to work with Jennifer as I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have Jennifer and her team to thank for that.

I was lucky to come across Jennifer and her team while listening to the TSW Podcast in February 2022, 2 years into recovery from a Protopic-induced TSW. I have been suffering from eczema since birth which was inconvenient but TSW is an evil beast in comparison to my original condition. Anyone suffering from TSW or caring for a person with this condition, would describe the same as pure hell and a significantly debilitating illness with some sufferers bed ridden for months.

It is safe to say that by the time I spoke to Jennifer’s associate – Michelle Nilan, I left nearly no stone unturned. I gave medical doctors a few more chances only to be ridiculed and offered more poison that made me sick. I spoke to skin specialists that knew nothing about my condition, naturopaths who were stabbing in the dark while prescribing numerous supplements, herbalists who continued to send lotions and potions that did not work, psycho-dieticians, and therapists to name a few. I nearly lost my sanity while at it. And then on the TSW Podcast I heard Jennifer saying that while you have to ride TSW out to a certain extent, unless you address the root causes of your original condition, full healing will be impeded. That totally resonated with me, and I punched my fist into the air shouting “I knew it”.

I made contact with Jennifer’s practice and got to talk with Michelle whose approach, support, responsiveness and depth of knowledge blew me away. Michelle was the first person who was interested in making her assessment of the root causes of my condition based on comprehensive lab results and extensive interviews. Not shockingly, apart from one doctor who swabbed my weeping wound, no other professional has ever chosen to investigate in any way.

Once the results came back, I had an incredibly eye-opening call with Michelle where she explained the various nutritional deficiencies and other root causes that were making me ill.  In conjunction with Jennifer, Michelle created two protocols for me as of sharing this. Writing this testimonial today, I am beyond happy to say that she simply gave me my life back. I am only two months in, but the difference is monumental. Very early while on the 1st protocol, I got an injection of energy, started feeling so much more alive, happy and hopeful. 

Some of my symptoms are gone while others have subsided to the point that they nearly do not bother me at all. My skin looks beautiful, and, I think, for the first time in over two years, my skin barrier actually is rebuilding itself! So, while I continue my journey to knowledge and healing, I cannot recommend Michelle enough to anyone that suffers and is ready to heal”

I had severe eczema that was impacting my daily life.  I had seen several dermatologists but the treatments (like Dupixent) were only temporary fixes in my eyes.

Since starting to work with Jennifer, my skin has improved dramatically!  I never ended up on Dupixent and rarely need to use any prescriptions on my eczema and if I do have a flare, it’s not severe like it was and is manageable to knock it back down.

Jennifer has been an amazing resource!  She always does an excellent job working with me to figure out the root cause of my issues. She requests and analyzes labs that my doctors haven’t looked at and provides detailed insights into the results. I love that she designs custom protocols based on my specific symptoms and issues.  She is my trusted advisor when it comes to gut and skin issues!

For the better part of 25 years, I had really frustrating and embarrassing dandruff. I couldn’t even think about wearing dark clothes because within an hour I’d look like I was covered in snow. My hairline would become angry and red with huge thick flakes peeling away from my scalp. I tried all sorts of shampoos and “natural remedies”, but nothing worked.

When I started working with Jennifer, I was pretty depressed, but I was done trying to figure it out myself — and frankly, I wish I had found her sooner. She’s eons more thorough than any doctor I’ve ever seen, explains things so I could understand what was wrong, and made me plans that were clear and easy-to-follow.

Today, I am 98% clear, flare-free, and wear dark shirts without any worries. Plus, she got me eating and pooping better (bye-bye constipation), motivated me to finally start working out, and I’m sleeping better than I have in years.

Before finding Jennifer, my eczema and overall well-being were not in a good place. My eczema was the worst it had ever been and I was getting desperate. I tried so many things on my own to help my skin but it just kept getting worse!

Thanks to her help, my eczema is completely clear and I feel and sleep better than I ever have!

I only wish I had found Jennifer sooner. She helped me become my own advocate and know what labs to request and what to do if my skin starts showing me that something is not right. Overall my health is better and I now have tools I learned from Jennifer to get back on track if needed.

I’ve been dealing with acne rosacea since my early 20s (yikes, almost 50 years!), marked by periods of skin flare-ups and many rounds of treatments. My skin really flared up about 4 years ago. Seeking a different line of treatment, I discovered Jennifer’s podcasts and became curious about her functional approach to dermatologic problems.

Over the years, I had tried the full spectrum of dermatological treatments: Allopathic (years of antibiotics, several rounds of Accutane, IPL, many topical medications); Naturopathic, Holistic, diets, candida treatment, bags of supplements, and several other modalities. They all would help for a limited time, if at all, and then the acne rosacea would return.

Being a physician, my inclination had been directed towards conventional treatments. I’ve also been dealing with food allergies and intolerance, along with high eosinophils (allergic blood cells) since my 20s. My diet had become increasingly restricted over the years as either skin flare ups or GI symptoms occurred. I had been evaluated and treated by many different physicians and specialists over the years—including a full-on evaluation/treatment by the NIH.

Frustration at the siloing of care that I received, where each specialist only treated one issue, led me to seek more holistic approaches. Jennifer’s podcasts intrigued me with her ability to speak to multiple specialists about different illnesses and bring a functional, personal and holistic approach to dealing with the issue.

During my first consultation with Jennifer, she let me know that the road ahead could be long, full of steps forward and backwards. She immediately suggested broadening my diet, reintroducing foods and approaches, as her podcast stated, that my ‘dermatologists never told me about.’

Because of this journey, I’m now a lot less self-conscious about my skin in meetings, with friends and while teaching. My diet is full of a variety of foods. I’m even able to use the hot tub—something that I had reluctantly given up because it would usually be followed by an acne breakout, rosacea redness and swelling of my nose.

Working with Jennifer has been a terrific experience. She offers guidance, opinions, and her approaches are yielding results. Our conversations are filled with information, and she is quite patient in explaining her recommendations. I value that she has not been judgmental about my sometimes-unconventional treatment choices and decisions.

All in all, I’m very pleased with the care that I have received.

Last spring I was getting increasingly desperate about worsening eczema on my hands that wasn’t responding to dietary changes or topical treatments. I stumbled upon Jennifer’s podcast and was drawn to her holistic approach. I had high expectations, but was still shocked by how quickly I started to see a change in my hands.

In just a handful of months, my hands cleared completely! On a deeper level, my gut health has improved by leaps and bounds with positive cascading effects on my mental health and so much more.

For the first time in five years, I have hope that I’m poised to recover from a longstanding chronic illness. I really appreciated Jennifer’s style of explaining complicated biological processes clearly and thoroughly. If you’re ready to see a dramatic change, you won’t regret working with her!

I ended up with awful, red yeasty rashes on my body that my dermatologist just didn’t have a clear answer on how to stop. 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 even though I ate an organic, whole foods diet.

Working with Jennifer was the best thing that I committed to because the rashes are FINALLY gone. My skin is completely clear and even the redness that was always in my face has finally gone. Her review of my labs (which doctors said looked fine) helped us pinpoint a nutritional plan and gut protocols that lifted up my energy (more than I’ve had in years!), fixed my chronic constipation, and made such a big improvement in my sleep. And Jen was able to do this without any elimination diet (which I was so grateful for since I travel a lot for work).

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!

Through my research, I’ve found that eliminating gluten can help 88% of people with Hashimoto’s feel significantly better! That’s why I’m a big fan of Jennifer Fugo’s work at Skinterrupt.

Jennifer is a genuine, empathetic, and knowledgeable clinical nutritionist who helps clients with gut and skin issues discover their root causes so that they can get back to feeling like themselves again!

Her unique and science-based perspective in the health community has helped thousands of women looking for clear, practical steps.

If you’re ready to take back your health- be sure to follow Jennifer!

My son, Luke, has had behavioral problems, food sensitivities and various rashes from his scalp to his feet for more than 7 years. He has been taken to a variety of professionals, from pediatricians to dermatologists to neurologists to psychiatrists to holistic and functional medicine doctors. I also researched quite extensively myself and implemented various treatments and diet changes with minimal improvement. In September 2018, I heard about Jennifer through the Eczema and Psoriasis Week Event. I contacted her and we began working together to get to the bottom of Luke’s chronic problems.

After thoroughly reviewing Luke’s most recent labwork, Jennifer pointed out severe problems with Luke’s gut (dysbiosis) as the likely underlying cause of his conditions. She came up with a personalized plan to rebalance his gut first, which has already led to dramatic improvements in his behavior, anxiety, and the appearance of his rashes. She also has made several topical suggestions which have further helped his skin to improve. My husband and I cannot thank Jennifer enough for their guidance as we continue to walk through this healing journey with our son.
