Your dermatologist is correct, psoriasis has no cure at this stage, however that doesn't mean you can't successfully manage it so that you reduce the frequency and intensity of flare ups in your skin.

You can clear your skin by focusing on reducing inflammation in your body instead of focusing on the suppression of your immune system. This is achieved by changing the way you eat and live so that your body is healthy and there is no inflammation.

Just because there is no cure, it doesn't mean we need to remain sick.

To simply say there is no cure and you must stay on immune-suppressant medications does nothing to deal with the disease but simply takes you awareness away for a short period of time.

Psoriasis is linked to a number of different illnesses. By living your life the anti-inflammatory way, means you will be preventing the possibility of such diseases from developing. Although there is the genetic factor in play, what we do and how we live is just as important if not more important.

We recommend you enjoy an anti-inflammatory diet for the duration of the 16 week program. After the 16 weeks pass, we will review your state of health and decide whether we look at adding foods back into your diet.

When it comes to food intolerances, this comes from leaky gut syndrome and inflammation in the body.

Once we have rejuvenated leaky gut, the reactivity to food reduces and the food intolerance will be reduced. Having said that, you can't return to an unhealthy way of eating and living, but you most certainly won't need to be strict 100% of the time.

This isn’t a weight loss program but many people have commented on losing weight.

Our eating plan encourages healthy food and clean eating without the added sugars and refined carbohydrates. If you typically eat this way, then a new way of eating does lead to weight loss.

If you are of a healthy weight range, then I always encourage people to eat small meals but frequently and typically make it a protein/vegetable based meal.

This program is tailored to healing the body from the inside out. When a person is on biologics or methotrexate, there is a false sense of healing that the person is experiencing. Yes the skin appears to be healthier but in actual fact it is not.

It is the suppression of the immune system that is showing the skin to be healthier. The moment you come off these medications, your body reacts to the inflammation that is still there and gradually the psoriasis lesions come back to cover more areas than it did before starting the medications.

For this reason, we can't accept anyone on these medications as we are resolving the psoriasis not masking it.

If you are ready to heal the body from the inside out, this program will target inflammation in the body, create a healthy digestive system and mindset.

These foods and beverages all increase inflammation. During the 16 weeks, we ask you to avoid these foods so we can heal your body and resolve the psoriasis. In this time, your taste buds will change and you will see a huge change to the foods you eat and prefer to eat. However, we can discuss this more during your treatments and work out a plan you are happy to do.

Due to the dietary changes needed to reduce inflammation in the body many meals do include meat in them. However, you could simply omit the meat component and make them vegetarian. As for dairy, we do have a recipe to make your own dairy free yoghurt and eggs are sometimes on the menu however, this can be simply changed for something else such as our Brown Rice Pancakes.

We do recommend avoiding processed foods which does include vegan meets and cheeses, as the combination of ingredients to make these products are not advisable under the eating plan described in the 16 weeks psoriasis program.
