259: Common Nutrient Deficiencies in Psoriasis {RESEARCH}


Listen Later

If you’ve got psoriasis – there’s a pretty big chance that you’re deficient in certain nutrients (especially if your psoriasis is more severe).

In fact, nutrient deficiencies are more common than you probably think!

As a clinical nutritionist, I often find that those with more severe symptoms tend to experience higher degrees of nutrient deficiencies (which is one reason that I do not understand the resistance to checking the nutrient status of those with psoriasis).

So let’s discuss which key macro and micronutrients are commonly found to be deficient in psoriasis and what that could mean for your body and health!

Especially because nutrient deficiencies are a source of intense stress because your body doesn’t have the proper nutrients to operate efficiently.

In this episode:
  • Common nutrient deficiencies found in cases of psoriasis
  • Impacts of low protein intake on psoriasis cases (that I see in my practice)
  • Why this one key macronutrient is so important
  • Certain optimal ranges that I use in my clinical practice
  • What selenium has to do with psoriasis
  • The potential impact several of these nutrients have on modulating your immune response
Quotes:

There’s no way you can know that your nutrient stores and nutrient intake are appropriate for you without (in many instances) looking at labs.

Keep in mind that combining several interventions together may make a bigger impact on your skin than a single intervention alone.
