What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates the production of skin cells, causing them to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. This process results in thick, red patches covered with silvery scales, often accompanied by inflammation, itching, and discomfort.
​
There are several types of psoriasis, with plaque psoriasis being the most common. Other forms include guttate psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis, which affects the joints as well as the skin.
Common symptoms of psoriasis include:​​​
​
-
Red, inflamed patches of skin with silvery scales
-
Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
-
Itching, burning, or discomfort
-
Nail changes, such as thickened or ridged nails
-
Joint pain and stiffness, which may indicate psoriatic arthritis
What causes psoriasis?
While the exact cause of psoriasis isn’t fully understood, it is known to involve an overactive immune system. In people with psoriasis, the immune system triggers an inflammatory response that accelerates the skin cell cycle. This response can be influenced by various factors, including genetics, diet, stress, and environmental triggers.
Limitations of Conventional Treatments:
While conventional treatments like topical creams, steroids, and biologics can help manage symptoms, they often don’t address the underlying triggers of the condition. This can leave many people searching for more comprehensive solutions.
How We Can Help
At the Autoimmune Clinic, our functional medicine approach is designed to help you manage psoriasis by addressing the root causes of your condition. We focus on reducing inflammation, improving skin health, and empowering you with personalised care strategies for long-term relief.
3. Personalised Nutrition Plans
Your diet plays a critical role in managing psoriasis. We design anti-inflammatory and gut-supportive meal plans tailored to your specific needs, focusing on:
-
Reducing inflammation with nutrient-dense foods.
-
Avoiding triggers like gluten, dairy, nightshades or processed foods that may exacerbate flare-ups.
-
Incorporating foods that promote healthy skin, such as omega-3-rich fish, leafy greens, and antioxidants.
2. Comprehensive Assessment & Testing
We use advanced testing to uncover the factors driving your psoriasis, including:
-
Food Sensitivities: Identifying dietary triggers that may worsen skin inflammation.
-
Gut Health Imbalances: Evaluating the gut-skin connection and addressing issues like leaky gut syndrome.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Pinpointing low levels of vitamins and minerals essential for skin repair and immune regulation.
1. 90 minute initial appointment for a thorough case and medical history review.
During this time we dive deep into your personal health story and medical history.
Areas we may cover include:
Diet, lifestyle, infections, environmental exposures (past and present), your family health history, stress, etc.
4. Targeted Supplementation
To support your healing process, we recommend evidence-based supplements, which may include:

-
Vitamin D: To modulate immune response and improve skin repair.
Pre and probiotics: To restore gut health and balance the immune system.
