Dr. Bhutani is a member of the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board who recently published a consensus statement called “Defining On Treatment Remission in Plaque Psoriasis” in JAMA Dermatology. Gail Reiser was initially diagnosed with plaque psoriasis at age 12. She remembers the misdiagnoses and difficult treatments of the past such as coal tar and occlusion. Over 42 years of living with plaque psoriasis, Gail has experienced a variety of treatment options including topicals and light therapy, feeling “it is exhausting to treat psoriasis”. As she got older and her plaque psoriasis progressed, she eventually decided to try biologics and hasn't looked back since making that change. She feels her psoriasis is in remission but fears losing that in the future. Resources: “Redefining Remission.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Bryce: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm a newer listener but have spent all year trying to reverse my plethora of health issues. I'm sick of spending thousands of dollars on supplements and tests and going down different rabbit holes. But I've seen all the specialists, done functional meds, lots of labs and still have not seen any resolve. My main issues being nail psoriasis (the worst any doctor has seen) and lots of bloat and digestive issues. I can give you more detail but think my issues are nervous system and autoimmune based as I have type one diabetes and lymphocytic colitis as well. I'm only 29 and getting married soon and just hoping to get my body better aligned with how I treat it. I eat super healthy, weightlift, but cannot lose the bloat and need to feel better soon. Help please! Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all that you and your team do - I can't express enough how much you have changed my life and my clients. I have a question regarding nerve pain, my husband has TOS and we are persueing everything we can nutritionally/orthopedically. Could you provide us an update on your experience with red light - the Joov specifically? Are there any other passive modalities that you know clinically impact nerve pain that can be done from home? For context heath/cold/palpation all make the nerve pain much more prominent. Jess: Hi and thank you for all you do! Ever since Covid and Moderna I have a sun allergy. It took me 6 months to get over Covid 4 years ago, I'm 95% better other than my skin. It seems Moderna is well-linked to first time PLME. How can I fix this? I've laid out in the sun all of my life and now I can't do 10 minutes without a rash. Larissa: Hello! I have some questions about parasites for beginners. I've done the GI map stool test that was negative for parasites. However, I have many symptoms consistent with parasitic infections and hear that most tests are not accurate. Do you have a test you recommend for parasites in the gut? Is there a different test to check for parasitic infections in the brain? As far as treatment, I did food sensitivity tests and have significant intolerance to wormwood. Can you recommend an alternative? Is it worth treating if there is high suspicion or should you confirm with testing? I'm an adult but I have the same questions for toddlers. Thank you so much! Lari: Hello, I have a 5yr old niece with tines versicilor. I'm wondering how she could have developed this? Interestingly enough, her 8 yr old brother had moloscum contsgiosum about 2yrs ago and 6yr old brother developed absent seizures around that time after a trip to sea world. Could this be related? Also, how would you treat tines versicolor in a 5yr old girl? Thank you Dr Cabral!

Psoriasis was the focus of our second Spot Diagnosis episode over five years ago.

Story at-a-glance People with the highest consumption of ultraprocessed foods had a 23% higher risk of developing psoriasis compared to those who ate the least, based on a 12-year study of 121,019 participants Replacing just 5% of UPFs with unprocessed foods lowered psoriasis risk by 14%, and replacing 20% dropped it by 18%, making this a powerful prevention strategy Seed oils and additives in UPFs fuel chronic inflammation and increase body mass index (BMI) — two factors that significantly raise your chances of developing autoimmune skin disorders like psoriasis If you're genetically at risk for psoriasis, eating a high-UPF diet increases your likelihood of developing the condition by 2.7 times compared to those with low genetic risk and low UPF intake Reducing seed oil intake and restoring vitamin D levels through safe sun exposure or supplementation helps repair immune function and strengthens your skin's natural defenses

Story at-a-glance Psoriasis affects over 7.5 million adults in the U.S. and is now recognized as a full-body inflammatory disease, not just a skin disorder New research shows that abdominal fat is a stronger predictor of psoriasis risk than overall body fat, especially in women Even without genetic risk factors, women with high waist-to-hip ratios had increased psoriasis risk, proving lifestyle plays a major role in disease development A separate 14-year study found that women who gained more weight over time — particularly around the abdomen — had a significantly greater chance of developing psoriatic arthritis These findings confirm that reducing central obesity is a powerful, proactive step to reduce inflammation and lower your risk of both psoriasis and joint damage

Be sure to leave your name too if you'd like a shoutout on the Podcast.Could your skin be reacting to something deeper?If you've been dealing with stubborn skin issues and nothing seems to work long-term, it might be time to look beyond the surface. In this episode, I'm diving into 9 skin conditions that are commonly linked to celiac disease—and how going gluten free can sometimes be the missing piece of the puzzle.From the intense itching of dermatitis herpetiformis to skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis, we'll chat about how these issues can be signs that your body is reacting to more than just a cream can fix. I even share a personal story about my brother, whose psoriasis only cleared up once he removed gluten from his diet after a celiac diagnosis.We'll also cover some lesser-known links like alopecia, dry skin, mouth ulcers, and even acne because the skin-gut connection is real. If you're newly diagnosed or just wondering whether gluten could be affecting your skin, this episode will give you some clarity, a few “ah-ha” moments, and hopefully a bit of relief too.
What's the best treatment for Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)? While answers are still emerging, we're getting closer.TSW is a misunderstood, drug-induced condition that goes far beyond typical eczema. Many sufferers feel dismissed by doctors since there's no formal diagnostic criteria and many dermatologists deny its existence. Yet symptoms like relentless itching, flaking, insomnia, “zingers,” and even depression can be life-altering.In this episode, I speak with Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman—a compassionate, research-driven Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who reveals how TSW differs from eczema, and explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the “toxic heat” behind symptoms. If you've been told “it's just eczema” or feel like nothing is working, this episode offers fresh hope and validation!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Connect with Dr. Friedman
