In this episode, we step back from the exam room and look at plaque psoriasis as a whole-body condition—not just a skin disorder. Dr. Raj Bhardwaj speaks with rheumatologist and clinical epidemiologist Dr. Alexis Ogdie about how systemic inflammation, metabolic risk, and early signs of psoriatic arthritis intersect in ways clinicians can easily miss.

Drs. Bhardwaj and Ogdie explain why recognizing psoriatic disease early and treating it holistically can change a patient’s entire health trajectory.
