Description:  How do GLP-1 receptor agonists or GIP agonists work and what is the impact for my psoriatic disease? Hear dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber answer such questions and more.           Join host Archie Franklin as he takes a deep dive into the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists and GIP agonists and the convergence of systemic inflammation related to psoriatic disease with renowned dermatologist and Vice Chair of the NPF Medical Board, Dr. Ronald Prussick from Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Frederick, MD, and, cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber, Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology/ Cardio-Dermatology Program at the University of Texas Southwestern. Learn more about the use of incretin hormones, the impact of weight management on psoriatic disease, metabolic and cardiovascular risk, as well as results from the TOGETHER-Pso and TOGETHER-PsA clinical trials.  This episode addresses the actions of incretin hormones (GLP-1 receptor agonist and GIP agonist) and how such use may be beneficial in the management of inflammation related to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  Thank you to Lilly for their support of this program activity.  Timestamps: (0:00)  Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered & guest welcome dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber.  (1:35)  What are incretin hormones and how GLP-1 or GIP receptor agonists (RA) inhibit appetite to initiate weight loss. (3:29)  Why GLP-1 RAs are of interest in the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (5:23)  The metabolic, cardiovascular, and psoriatic disease convergence. (7:19)  Will reduction of inflammation impact cardiovascular risk? (10:59) Treatment challenges associated with having psoriatic disease and being overweight or obese. (13:45)  Key points around the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists when managing psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (17:06)  Results of the TOGETHER-PsO and TOGETHER-PsA phase 3 clinical trials combining use of an IL-17 inhibitor and a GIP and GLP-1                receptor agonist therapy. (19:07)  Having the conversation of adding a GLP-1 RA medication to a treatment regimen. (22:40)  The paradigm shift of GLP-1 receptor agonists and the impact they can have on shared inflammatory pathways. Key Takeaways: ·       Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists are two incretin hormones that assist in managing excess body weight -- which as a result can be helpful in managing inflammation in the body.   ·       Psoriasis isn't just a skin and joint disease. It's a complex network of systemic inflammation with shared inflammatory pathways that worsens with increased weight impacting the severity of the disease, and accelerates the risk of metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease.   ·       The best outcomes occur as a result of multidisciplinary collaboration to address the impact of excess weight and systemic inflammation. If you are struggling to lose weight with diet and exercise, speak with your medical team about your options including the use of GLP-1 or GIP agonists.   Guest Bios: Renowned dermatologist Ronald Prussick, M.D., Medical Director of the Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Fredrick, Maryland, specializes in the treatment of psoriasis along with other diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. Dr. Prussick is also a Clinical Associate Professor in Dermatology at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.. Dr. Prussick has a research interest in the impact of diet on psoriatic disease and metabolic health, first becoming interested after being involved in Dr. Joel Gelfand and Dr. Nehal Mehta's work in vascular inflammation trials using FDG-PET/CT scans to view systemic and cardiovascular inflammation associated with psoriatic disease. Dr. Prussick has since participated in the development of the 2018 Dietary Recommendations for Adults with Psoriasis or Psoriatic Arthritis and more recently the position statement "GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Psoriasis: A Primer from the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board". Dr. Prussick is Vice Chair of the NPF Medical Board which provides clinical direction, treatment guidance, and education oversight to the organization and its Executive leaders.  Brittany Weber, M.D., Ph.D. is a cardio-immunologist who is the Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology/ Cardio-Dermatology Program at the University of Texas Southwestern. She is also a member of the Division of Cardiology, a clinical investigator, and imaging specialist. Dr. Weber's research integrates advanced imaging, molecular biology, clinical trials, and population health to understand how systemic inflammation and immune deregulation drives cardiovascular dysfunction. Prior to joining UT Southwestern in 2025, Dr. Weber served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and was the Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology Clinic at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a nationally recognized clinic addressing inflammation-related heart disease through collaborative, patient centered care. Dr. Weber is also an author on the position statement "GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Psoriasis: A Primer from the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board".

Michele Scarlet sits down with RN, Nurse Practitioner, and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Connie Wade for an honest conversation about what 25 years inside the emergency room taught her about the limits of conventional medicine, why her own doctor told her she was not "sick enough" to treat, and how she finally healed the symptoms she had been "swiping away" for years. In this powerful Health Detective Podcast episode, Connie shares her personal journey through psoriasis, debilitating joint pain at 48, chronic reflux, daily ibuprofen use, estrogen dominance, heavy painful periods, more than 20 years of night shift, H. pylori, an overwhelmed liver and gallbladder, food sensitivities to her favorite foods, and a depleted gut microbiome. Together, Michele and Connie unpack how functional lab testing gave Connie the vindication she had been looking for, why she healed in three months once she addressed the root causes, and why she chose to keep working in the ER while building her functional health practice on the side. This episode dives deep into: Why her doctor said "she wasn't sick enough" and sent her home with ibuprofen The functional labs that finally explained her symptoms after years of being dismissed How 20 plus years of night shift flatlined her cortisol and disrupted her hormones H. pylori, food sensitivities, and the gut findings that changed everything Why psoriasis, joint pain, and heavy periods are not just "normal aging" The reframe that helped Connie cut gluten, sugar, and dairy without feeling deprived Why so many nurses are leaving bedside nursing and the third option most do not consider How to build a functional nursing side practice without leaving your license or your job Why going all in or all out of conventional medicine limits your reach as a clinician The four simple daily practices Connie recommends to every patient How to ask your family for support when you start your healing journey Michele and Connie also discuss why the body is constantly trying to send messages, why most of us swipe them away for years, and why functional lab testing catches dysfunction long before conventional labs ever turn "abnormal." If you are a woman struggling with joint pain, psoriasis, hormone imbalance, or symptoms your doctor keeps dismissing, or you are a nurse, NP, or clinician quietly exploring functional medicine as a career path, this episode will change how you view your body and what is possible.

Welcome back to the Homeopathy247 podcast! In Episode 202, Mary is joined by Dr. Nitin Deshmukh, a highly experienced homeopath from India, to explore a condition that affects millions worldwide: psoriasis. If you or a loved one have been struggling with stubborn skin flares, this episode sheds light on how to address the true root cause. Understanding Psoriasis Beyond the Skin Dr. Deshmukh explains that clinically, psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where the skin's maturation process is hyper-accelerated. Instead of taking weeks, skin cells mature rapidly, creating red, inflamed scales and flakes. However, the physical symptoms are only half the story. According to Dr. Deshmukh, psoriasis is an external manifestation of an internally deranged system. The most common triggers? Emotional stress, mental trauma, and family conflicts. He beautifully describes psoriasis as an "erupting volcano." When deep emotions like guilt, suppression, or feelings of being devalued cannot be safely expressed, the immune system weakens, and the body pushes these feelings out through the skin. Mainstream Medicine vs. The Homeopathic Approach Mainstream medicine excels at soothing the skin's surface during severe flare-ups using anti-inflammatories and anti-allergics. However, these treatments often only manage the symptoms temporarily. Homeopathy for psoriasis works differently. Following Hering's Law of Cure, homeopathy treats the patient from the inside out. By sitting down and acting as an emotional detective, a homeopath identifies the specific emotional conflict that triggered the immune suppression. A Remarkable Case Study To illustrate this inside-out healing, Dr. Deshmukh shares a fascinating case of a 32-year-old man suffering from erythrodermic psoriasis—one of the most severe forms of the condition. The patient's flare-ups began shortly after his marriage. Severe conflicts between his new wife and his sister-in-law forced him to move out of his beloved joint family home. Feeling disgraced, outcast, and deeply homesick, his emotional turmoil erupted on his skin. By matching these exact emotional symptoms, Dr. Deshmukh prescribed a single dose of the constitutional remedy Sulphur 30. Within 45 days, the flaking was vastly reduced, and within six months, his skin was clear—with no recurrence in over three years! The Main Takeaway Healing chronic conditions takes patience, but you do not have to suffer forever. By finding the exact core of your emotional and physical symptoms, a constitutional homeopathic remedy can help your immune system naturally restore its balance.

In this episode of Wholistic Living, we dive into the powerful connection between myrosinase, gut health, eczema, inflammation, detoxification, and the microbiome. Learn why cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, arugula, cabbage, and broccoli sprouts may not provide their full benefits if the enzyme myrosinase is lacking or destroyed through cooking and poor gut health. We explore how low myrosinase activity on stool testing may reflect dysbiosis, poor microbial diversity, chronic inflammation, mold exposure, antibiotic damage, sluggish bile flow, and impaired detoxification pathways. Discover how this impacts sulforaphane production, NRF2 activation, glutathione, histamine intolerance, hormone balance, liver detoxification, autoimmune conditions, eczema, psoriasis, and skin inflammation. You'll also learn practical ways to naturally increase sulforaphane activation, preserve myrosinase in foods, support gut bacteria involved in glucosinolate metabolism, and improve detoxification through nutrition and lifestyle.Topics covered:What myrosinase is and why it mattersLow myrosinase on stool tests explainedSulforaphane, NRF2, and glutathioneEczema, psoriasis, and chronic inflammationGut dysbiosis and detoxificationMold illness and histamine intoleranceHow cooking affects broccoli and cruciferous vegetablesBroccoli sprouts, mustard seed powder, and sulfur-rich foodsHormone balance, estrogen detox, and liver healthIf you struggle with eczema, skin issues, autoimmune symptoms, histamine reactions, poor detoxification, gut problems, or chronic inflammation, this episode is packed with science-backed holistic insights you do not want to miss.Equip Grass fed protein: www.equipfoods.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contactInstagram: www.instagram.com/wholistichomeopath

Description: "When joint pain is present, the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis needs to be made as soon as possible, ideally within six months to limit joint inflammation" Dr. Vinod Chandran mentions as he discusses efforts to identify a diagnostic test for those at risk of developing psoriatic arthritis.          Join host Jeff Brown as he speaks with leading rheumatologist and clinician scientist Dr. Vinod Chandran, Director of the Gladman Krembil Psoriatic Arthritis Program, Schroeder Arthritis Institute, University Health Network and the Departments of Medicine, Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, and the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto to learn more about the progress and promising results towards developing a psoriatic arthritis diagnostic test through multi-omic assays and identifying the distinct differences between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  This episode provides an update on the progress to date of the NPF PsA Diagnostic Test grant initiative which has shown promising results with a potential test entering prospective study in multiple sites soon.   Thank you to Johnson and Johnson for their support of this program activity. Timestamps: (0:00)          Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered & guest welcome rheumatologist Dr. Vinod Chandran.    (0:52)          It is challenging to diagnose psoriatic arthritis with many factors leading to a delay in diagnosis. (4:56)          The start of Dr. Chandran's involvement with the PsA Diagnostic Test Grant project.   (7:55)          The different types of omics and the definition of multi-omic. (9:57)          How the multi-omic approach is used to find biomarkers relative to a specific disease pattern. (11:08)        Development of a predictive or prevention-based test using gene expression.      (13:46)        First year results identify 200 markers across different omic approaches that distinguish psoriatic arthritis from psoriasis.    (14:58)        The significance of MRNA vs mIcroRNA's use in development of a diagnostic test and how critical that is to dissemination of a                     potential test. (17:08)        Identifying the skin-joint axis in relation to different types of arthritis. (20:20)        Next steps to moving the diagnostic test research forward as a prospective study in multiple sites and the cost effectiveness of                  delivering the test.   (23:13)        If you have psoriasis, musculoskeletal, back, and joint pain think of psoriatic arthritis and be diagnosed early to maintain a good                 quality of life. Key Takeaways: ·       Given challenges associated with diagnosing psoriatic arthritis and the impact on quality of life, in 2019 NPF launched the PsA Diagnostic Test Grant project with the goal of developing an early stage test that would identify and diagnose those with psoriatic arthritis before debilitating  joint damage begins.   ·       Progress towards a PsA Diagnostic Test includes the study of multi-omic data sets where 200 distinct biomarkers have been identified leading to a greater understanding of the different pathways between psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, and the skin joint axis.  ·       A potential diagnostic test is now moving towards the prospective study phase. Until the test is available and if joint pain is present and you have psoriasis, ask your health care provider if it could be psoriatic arthritis and treat appropriately.  Guest Bio: Vinod Chandran, MBBS, MD, DM, PhD is a rheumatologist, clinician scientist, and Director of the Gladman Krembil Psoriatic Arthritis Program, Schroeder Arthritis Institute, University Health Network and the Departments of Medicine, Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, and the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto where he is also a Professor of Medicine.

Skin has always told stories. For thousands of years, those whose skin behaved differently — scaling, thickening, inflaming — were feared, isolated, and misunderstood. Psoriasis was long lumped together with leprosy, its sufferers cast out rather than cared for. It would take centuries before medicine began to separate these conditions, and longer still before we understood what was really happening beneath the surface. Psoriasis is not an infection, not a curse, not a failure of hygiene. It is the immune system turning on itself, a complex, chronic inflammatory disease that affects not just skin but joints, confidence, and quality of life. It touches roughly 2-3% of the population, and for many it is a lifelong companion. Today we have a clinical dermatologist and a dermatopathologist to help us understand what psoriasis looks like to the clinician, what it reveals under the microscope, and how our understanding of its immunological roots has transformed the way we treat it. This is the story of psoriasis. Our Special Guests: Associate Professor Laura Scardamaglia, a Consultant Dermatologist, a Fellow of the Australasian College of Dermatology, and Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne.

Could GLP-1 medications be the missing piece in treating inflammatory skin disease? In this episode of Science is Skin, Dr. Ted Lain sits down with Dr. Lindsey Bordone — former Columbia University associate professor of dermatology, now in private practice at Bordone Dermatology in Scottsdale, Arizona — for a deep dive into metabolic disease and the skin. Dr. Bordone was among the first dermatologists to prescribe GLP-1 agonists for her patients, and in this conversation she explains exactly why. From the link between hyperinsulinemia and chronic inflammation to the visible skin signs of insulin resistance — skin tags, acanthosis nigricans, forearm hair loss — she makes the case that dermatologists are uniquely positioned to catch metabolic disease before any other specialty. Dr. Bordone walks through how she uses tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound), semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy), and the emerging triple-G drug retatrutide, including her lab protocols, dosing philosophy, how to manage GI side effects, and the surprising interaction between GLP-1s and estrogen therapy.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel and be updated with our latest episodes. Welcome to the 200th episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast! Host Mary Greensmith takes us on a journey through some of the most impactful and inspiring clips from past episodes. Featuring expert homeopaths Tay Henry, Nur Reved, Dee Nicole, Gitanjali Goel, and Ann Lovatt, this special compilation explores how homeopathy addresses chronic conditions by getting to the root of the problem. Celiac Disease: Healing the Gut Tay Henry kicks off the episode by discussing celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. Often misidentified as a simple food intolerance, celiac causes significant degradation of the gut. While removing gluten is essential, homeopathy acts as a powerful catalyst to heal the underlying damage and restore vital nutrient absorption, which is especially critical for developing children. Key Remedies Mentioned: Lycopodium (for intense bloating and gas immediately after eating) and China (for profound weakness following fluid loss). Histamine and Allergic Reactions Next, Nur Reved breaks down the body's histamine response. Histamine acts as a cellular alarm system, rushing blood to affected areas to flush out toxins (causing itching and hives). When this system overreacts due to environmental toxins, poor diet, or stress, conventional antihistamines simply block the release of histamine, often causing drowsiness and eventual dependency. Homeopathy takes a different approach: remedies like Histaminum work with the body, signaling it to calm down and remember how to naturally regulate its immune response. Panic Attacks: The Body's Alarm Bell Dee Nicole explains that a panic attack is the body's "last resort" to get your attention. It acts like an overly sensitive fire alarm, signaling deep, underlying anxiety or a chronic feeling of being unsafe. Often, the fear of having a panic attack becomes worse than the attack itself. Homeopathy works to break this cycle of fear, providing remedies that help the body manage the acute moment while simultaneously addressing the deep-seated root cause. Parasites and Miasmatic Susceptibility Gitanjali Goel sheds light on parasitic infections, noting that many people carry low-grade burdens for years without realizing it. Symptoms often present as fatigue, bloating, skin issues, or teeth grinding in children. She explains the concept of "miasms"—inherited patterns of susceptibility. If your body's "foundation" is weak, parasites can easily take hold. Homeopathy strengthens this foundation. Gitanjali also highlights how the lunar cycle (full moons) heavily influences parasite activity and symptom flare-ups. Psoriasis and Inherited Trauma Finally, Ann Lovatt explores the emotional roots of psoriasis. She notes that the disease often triggers at the site of a physical injury (like a cut or sunburn), but the true cause is typically deep emotional suppression or trauma. Ann poignantly describes psoriasis as the body developing a "thick skin" to protect against painful emotions. She shares how homeopathy looks beyond the physical, sometimes addressing inherited generational trauma to bring about true healing.

Description: "What is metabolic disease and why do I have it on top of psoriatic disease?" Hear dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and registered dietitian Danielle Cahalan explore this collision of diseases and how you can take control to help reduce the impact of inflammation.           Join host Corinne Rutkowski as she discusses why metabolic disease occurs with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and what can be done to improve overall health with dermatologist and Vice Chair of the NPF Medical Board, Dr. Ronald Prussick from Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Frederick, MD, and Danielle Cahalan, a registered dietitian and coach with All Access Dietitians. Listen as they also discuss the four pillars of health, the latest evidence around use of the Mediterranean Diet with psoriatic disease, key nutrients that impact overall health from omega 3's, polyphenols, and fiber, to making small sustainable changes.  This episode offers information to help explain the connection between metabolic and psoriatic disease and what can be done to decrease health risks associated with both diseases through sustainable changes. Timestamps: (0:00)  Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered & guest welcome dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and registered dietitiand and coach                  Danielle Cahalan.                                                                                              (1:27)  Definition of metabolic disease and why the risk is higher among those with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. (3:11)  How this bi-directional relationship impacts the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (6:54)  The four pillars of health that can be used to reduce the risk of metabolic disease.   (11:17) Does an anti-inflammatory diet exist? (13:46) What is the Mediterranean diet and the foods that are typically included. (16:32) The impact of the Mediterranean diet on systemic inflammation, metabolic health, and severity of psoriatic disease. (21:03) The three types of healthy fats – what they are, how they work, and where to find them.

Aditi was diagnosed with psoriasis at 10 years old and has used topicals to manage her disease along with diet, exercise and stress management. Prior to becoming a Youth Ambassador she had never met anyone with psoriasis. She plans to pursue a career in dermatology.  Alyssa is relatively new to the NPF Youth Ambassador program, joining in 2025 to connect with others who also live with psoriasis. Her diagnosis process was challenging and eventually she was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis after being improperly diagnosed and given treatments that didn't fully clear her psoriasis. This experience changed her life both physically and emotionally. Alyssa is a busy student-athlete serving as a member of her school's varsity cheer team and being a star pitcher for her school's softball team.  Pierce connected with NPF right after being diagnosed with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in 2024 which covered over half of his body. Together with his mother they learned more about the disease and management with various treatment options from NPF, quickly learning what worked and what didn't. Per Pierce "it was horrible dealing with it for a while because I couldn't hide the plaques."  After facing challenges with step therapy and eventually traveling to the Mayo Clinic he found the treatment he needed to help clear his skin. Pierce is very active in golf playing at least 5 days a week. He currently plays for his high school team, the Louisiana Junior Golf Tour, and the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA).  Pierce also became a Youth Ambassador to meet others with psoriatic disease.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we explore the latest news and trends shaping this dynamic industry.Significant strides have been made recently, particularly with the FDA's approval of J&J and Protagonist Therapeutics' novel psoriasis medication, Icotyde. This once-daily oral treatment could disrupt a market dominated by injectable therapies. The convenience of oral administration is likely to improve patient compliance and drive substantial sales, marking a pivotal moment in psoriasis treatment. The Phase 3 ICONIC trial demonstrated substantial efficacy over existing treatments like Bristol Myers Squibb's Sotyktu. This trend towards more patient-friendly options is indicative of a broader industry shift and signifies Protagonist's entry into competitive immunology markets.Turning to biosimilars, Sandoz has expanded its partnership with Samsung Bioepis to commercialize up to five biosimilars, including a version of Takeda's Entyvio. This collaboration highlights the industry's growing reliance on biosimilars as affordable alternatives to branded biologics. Amidst pricing pressures and a global demand for accessible medications, such strategies are becoming increasingly vital.In an ambitious venture, TerraPower Isotopes, backed by the Gates Foundation, is investing $450 million in a plant for producing actinium-225, a rare isotope used in radiopharmaceuticals. This move positions TerraPower as a leader in supplying crucial ingredients for targeted cancer therapies—an area that promises advancements in precision medicine by offering targeted treatments with fewer side effects.Regulatory landscapes are evolving too, with the FDA and NIH committing $150 million towards alternatives to animal testing in drug development. This initiative emphasizes ethical scientific practices and leverages innovative technologies like organ-on-chip systems. Such regulatory support is essential for speeding up drug development while ensuring safety standards remain high.Stem cell therapy also sees promising developments with Aspen Neuroscience's treatment for Parkinson's disease. After one year, all treated patients showed symptom improvement, paving the way for pivotal Phase 3 trials. These results underscore the transformative potential of regenerative medicine in tackling neurodegenerative disorders.As the industry evolves, it faces challenges such as looming patent expirations and intensified competition. These pressures are prompting companies to innovate and reconsider strategies for existing product lines. In response to these challenges, strategic realignments are becoming more common.Meanwhile, Indiana's plan to create 100,000 jobs through a $1 billion strategy highlights regional efforts to establish hubs for life sciences innovation, illustrating the broader economic impact of the biopharma sector.In parallel news, Xaira Therapeutics has raised an impressive $1 billion to leverage AI for drug discovery in inflammatory and immunological research. This underscores growing reliance on AI technologies to accelerate drug development timelines. Crossbow Therapeutics reached a significant milestone by securing $77 million in Series B funding to advance its T-cell engager technology—a promising approach in immuno-oncology that harnesses the immune system against cancer cells.Despite these advancements, economic pressures continue to challenge some companies. Layoffs at Gossamer Bio and Bicycle Therapeutics highlight sector volatility and the need for strategic adaptability. Corporate governance remains under scrutiny as Moderna's CEO compensation package reveals executive priorities amidst revenue shortfalls. Meanwhile, GSK faces criticism over its management practices concerning Flovent, which raises ethical concerns about pricing strategies.In cardiovascular care, Support the show

Hear leading dermatologist Dr. E. James Song and patient advocate Ana Rinck share their perspectives on the use of biosimilars to manage psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The use of biosimilars is growing with 24 currently on the market and more on the way for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. What does this mean for you? Find out as we explore the use of biosimilars, the impact of interchangeability, what it's like switching to a biosimilar, and what questions to ask your health care provider with leading dermatologist and NPF Medical Board member Dr. E. James Song, Director of Clinical Research at Frontier Dermatology Partners, and patient advocate Ana Rinck who currently uses a biosimilar to treat her psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.   The intent of this episode is to offer an update on the use of biosimilars and to hear the experience of those who have used biosimilars to manage psoriatic disease. This episode is sponsored by Organon. Timestamps: (0:00) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome to dermatologist Dr. E. James Song, Director of Clinical Research and Co-Chief Medical Officer, Frontier Dermatology, and patient advocate Ana Rinck, who presents her experience with using a biosimilar to treat psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  (0:58) Definition of what is a biosimilar in comparison to a biologic which is also referred to as the original bio-originator or reference product.   (3:10) What biosimilars are available and how they are used. (4:35) The term interchangeable and what it means for use of a biosimilar. (5:46) Ana's diagnosis to treatment options starting with use of topicals to ultimately use of a biosimilar.  (7:57) Treatment discussion and choices when faced with diminishing effectiveness within a class of medications. Should a biosimilar be considered as an option?                                                                                                                                                                (9:50) Questions to consider when there's a change in treatment. (10:57) FDA announcement to simplify the development process for biosimilars and what that means for the future use of biosimilars. (13:55) What to consider when thinking of a biosimilar as a treatment option and where to find help when needed.     (14:53) The hope and equity of access that biosimilars represent is here for the appropriate individual. Key Takeaways: ·       A biosimilar is an FDA-approved biologic product that behaves and functions like a brand biologic treatment which is also called the reference product or bio-originator. There are no clinically meaningful differences between biosimilars and their reference product.  ·       The FDA has approved several biosimilars for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Some have been identified as interchangeable which means a biosimilar could be substituted for a reference product without a health care provider's approval pending state legislative rules.    ·       Don't be afraid to ask questions or access resources to assist with preparing for a medication change should that change be initiated either by yourself, your healthcare provider, or your health insurance company.    Guest Bios:   E. James Song, M.D. is a nationally recognized dermatologist and clinical researcher who is also a Clinical Instructor at the University of Washington. Dr Song is recognized as a key opinion leader in treating psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. He is actively involved in the development of new therapies for dermatologic disease and has firsthand experience with treatments before they come to market. Dr. Song has been published extensively in peer review journals and regularly participates in meetings both as a lecturer and attendee.  He is also a Medical Board member of the National Psoriasis Foundation. He believes that the best health outcomes come from shared decision making between the patient and physician. Dr. Song strives to help patients understand not only their condition, but all their treatment options.  Ana Rinck is a patient advocate and volunteer for the National Psoriasis Foundation. She developed psoriasis in 2009 following symptoms she noticed for a few years which proved to be challenging to diagnose. She managed for many years on topicals and intralesional injections. In 2018 she was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and started use of a biologic realizing she needed to protect her joints from further damage. She now uses a biosimilar to manage her psoriatic disease. Ana owns her own private consulting business and is an Operations and Project Manager.  Resources: -Learn more about biosimilars, interchangeability, and state substitution rules.   -Armstrong A, Callis Duffin K, Feldman S, Glick B, Kalb R, Reddy S, Schwartzman S, Yamauchi P, Calabrese C, Cordoro K, Desai S, Gladman D, Han G, Hawkes JE, Hsu S, Kircik L, Koo J, Kreuger GG, Lebwohl M, Leonardi C, Lewitt GM, Liao W, Liu C, Markenson J, Merola JF, Orbai A, Prussick R, Richardson V, Soung J, Van Voorhees AS, Wallace E, Weinberg J, Wine Lee L, Harris J, Koons S, Howard L.

Women with psoriasis consistently show lower progesterone and DHEA, two hormones that normally quiet inflammation, making flare-ups stronger and more frequent Estrogen dominance — where estrogen feels too strong relative to progesterone — heightens immune reactivity and explains why symptoms worsen before your period, after childbirth and during menopause Intracellular estrogen, not blood estrogen, drives inflammation in psoriatic skin, which is why your labs can look "normal" even when your symptoms intensify Long-term hormone replacement therapy increases psoriasis risk by overstimulating inflammatory pathways, especially in post-menopausal women whose hormones are already shifting You can ease flare patterns by supporting progesterone and DHEA, eliminating estrogen-mimicking triggers, avoiding seed oils, optimizing vitamin D and reducing stress-related hormonal strain
