With certain food-triggered conditions like psoriasis, it may seem like an impossible task to create and stick to a diet that is nourishing but also avoids symptomatic complications. It’s different for everyone and finding what works is no simple task. But, as my guest today will tell you, persistence pays off!

Dahne Rodriguez had suffered from terrible itching for many years but could find nothing that would help. With her diagnosis of psoriasis, she had to drastically change her diet. Getting her diagnosis and finding treatment was a difficult and frustrating process, but she’s made it work. I’m so happy Dahne could join us to share her experience!

In this episode, we discuss psoriasis and how it relates to diet. Dahne shares her somewhat unconventional solutions to treating her condition. From apple cider vinegar in her hair to watching what she eats, her skin has improved drastically.

It’s so important to keep trying to solve the puzzle to your health. It can be frustrating but perseverance is so important. Dahne kept at it and is now doing so much better. The constant itching has stopped and she’s even wearing tank-tops again!

• Psoriasis and its relation to food triggers
• How you can adapt your diet in order to manage the symptoms of psoriasis
• How you can find alternatives to some of the more conventional treatments for skin issues and use them to find relief

Quotes

“It felt like I was going to starve. What foods are left for me to eat?... But there’s lots of food out there you can eat. I mix it up now between different proteins and vegetables and that’s what I live on.” [4:54]

“It’s a hard struggle to go through, especially with the itchiness. My hands were constantly in my hair and on my shoulders and my back. I don’t want to live like this. It’s horrible. It’s very frustrating. But you have to try different things. Because we’re so individual, what works for me might not work for somebody else.” [12:16]

“For the first time since I was a teenager, I’m wearing tank-tops!” [13:56]
