The Healthy Skin Show 196: Psoriasis Diet + Hidden Gut Problems w/ Emma Gould
Did you know that diet and gut problems can have an effect on psoriasis? My guest is here to share more about it!
My guest today, Emma Gould, has a degree in Human Biology with Psychology and is a BANT Registered Nutritional Therapist.
Emma's own journey with psoriasis started when she was in her teens but really took hold after the birth of her first child when she was 30.
After some years of using steroid creams, she decided to change her diet and lifestyle. Five months later, her skin cleared completely! She had learnt the power of Nutrition, retrained as a Nutritionist and now uses her own experiences and knowledge to help others.
Join us as we talk about how diet can have an impact on psoriasis.

Quotes
“If bacteria are gram-negative, then they're giving off something called LPS inside your gut, which then crosses over the damaged cell lining of the wall of the intestines, then gets into the bloodstream. And then this is when the body doesn't recognize what these foreign objects are and starts to get over-activated, and it's this overactive immune system which can lead to psoriasis in people that are susceptible to that.” [9:25]
“We need the digestive enzymes to break down protein, basically. And there's a lot of studies where it's been shown a link between psoriasis and incomplete protein breakdown, which sometimes starts higher up with the stomach acid, so I also see lots of clients have low stomach acid.” [11:10]
