In this episode, I sit down with Naturopathic Doctor Garrett Smith to dive into the complex world of Psoriasis and explore a surprising potential factor behind the condition—vitamin A. 

We discuss how this essential nutrient, often hailed for its health benefits, may actually play a role in triggering not just Psoriasis but a range of other health issues as well. Dr. Smith breaks down the science, challenges conventional wisdom, and offers insights into how diet and lifestyle changes could alleviate symptoms for those suffering from these conditions.
