In episode 284 of iCantCU, I talk about another hiccup with my psoriatic arthritis meds—this time, the pharmacy wanted over two grand out of pocket. Spoiler: I said no. Taltz has helped a bit, but not $2,000-a-month helpful. So now I'm back on the hunt for something else that won't break the bank or mess me up with scary side effects. I also share some sad news: we lost Stan Ingram, a fellow blind entrepreneur in the Business Enterprise Program here in PA. That means one less BEP operator and a big question mark about what happens to his spot. Plus, my friend Ken's dad passed, and I send love to his family. It's been a rough week.

Scalp psoriasis affects nearly half of those with psoriasis, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and challenging forms of psoriasis to get under control.If you're reading this, you might already know how awful the itching, flaking, and emotional toll can be. Especially as many medications for psoriasis don't seem to work nearly as well for psoriasis on your scalp.Unfortunately, many people assume their scalp issues are due to dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis when, in fact, they are dealing with something far more complex. Especially as the inflammation worsens, there's a greater risk that the hair thinning could turn out to become permanent hair loss.That's why I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jenny Bennett back on the Healthy Skin Show. Together, we unpack the complexities of scalp psoriasis AND talk about some really fascinating organisms that could be lurking on the skin that are helping to drive the problem.Dr. Bennett is a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist and founder of Aria Integrative Medicine, an autoimmune specialty clinic in Seattle, WA. She utilizes treatments from both Eastern and Western medical practices to find the best approach for treating autoimmune diseases. Dr. Bennett treats a wide variety of conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus and scleroderma.You might recall that Dr. Bennett has shared her knowledge with us in the past on Psoriatic Arthritis and Nail Psoriasis.If you're tired of the relentless itching, worried about thinning hair, or unsure where to begin, this scalp psoriasis episode is packed with actionable insights.Let's dive in!In This Episode:Scalp psoriasis versus plaque psoriasisThe link between scalp psoriasis + psoriatic arthritisKey differences between scalp psoriasis + seborrheic dermatitisHow both your skin + gut microbiomes play a critical role in scalp inflammationWhy hormonal changes + stress trigger scalp psoriasis flaresTreatment options – scalp psoriasis meds + remediesUsing UVB + red light therapy to help scalp psoriasisCan scalp psoriasis cause hair loss?Quotes“Scalp psoriasis is often mistaken for dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, but the key difference is in the texture—psoriasis feels dry, while seborrheic dermatitis feels oily.”“Psoriasis always starts with damage to the top layer of skin, which allows bacteria or fungi to get inside, triggering an immune response and creating plaques.”LinksFind Dr. Bennett online | Instagram | Facebook | TikTokHealthy Skin Show ep. 359: Finger + Toe Nail Psoriasis vs Fungus Infection (How To Tell The Difference)Healthy Skin Show ep. 336: Early Signs & Symptoms Of Psoriatic Arthritis (Don't Ignore These!)Research progress on the neutrophil components and their interactions with immune cells in the development of psoriasisScalp Psoriasis: A Literature Review of Effective Therapies and Updated Recommendations for Practical ManagementBacteria, Fungi, and Scalp Psoriasis: Understanding the Role of the Microbiome in Disease Severity

Do you need to take charge of your health and discover a healthier, more vibrant life for 2025?  Our guest today shares his struggles with fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog that began in 2022, after fighting Covid. Despite seeing numerous doctors, including specialists, he was left without clear answers or relief. They thought he had RA or Psoriatic Arthritis, but blood work didn't show anything. His health continued to decline, and he found himself relying on painkillers just to manage daily tasks. Determined to find a better solution, he turned to Dr. Hotze's clinic, where he sought a more holistic and hands-on approach to health. Join Dr. Hotze and his guest, Ian Smith, as they discuss how a tailored program that included testosterone and thyroid hormone supplementation, a clean eating regimen, and targeted vitamins and minerals, Ian saw a dramatic improvement in his energy and overall well-being. He now feels revitalized, capable of enjoying activities like running a 10K and spending quality time with his family. Ian credits his success to taking charge of his health, and he encourages others not to wait until they're at a breaking point. Dr. Hotze also highlights the importance of understanding the underlying causes of health issues, particularly how environmental factors can contribute to hormone imbalances, and how addressing these issues can lead to a healthier, more vibrant life.

Integrative dermatology with Dr. Diana Hurwitz, co-author of "Strategies to Treat Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis." We hear about how her personal journey toward embracing diet and supplements for her patients with skin problems was motivated by the discovery—after many missed diagnoses—that she was suffering from celiac disease. She finds that many skin conditions are ameliorated by elimination of culprit foods, and the overall adoption of an anti-inflammatory diet. Dr. Hurwitz discusses treatment for acne, in light of the fact that while dermatologists are 1% of medical specialists, they dispense 20% of the antibiotics prescribed overall. She updates us on the latest “biologic” medicines for eczema and psoriasis, but claims they work better when complemented with lifestyle changes. Dr. Hurwitz discusses the role of vitamin D, Omega 3s, and probiotics for many skin conditions, as well as niacinamide which reduces recurrence of skin cancer; she also addresses sunscreens and scar treatments.
