You need to watch this episode if for no other reason than to watch me pop a pimple at the very beginning on my cohost Sandro Iocolano’s forehead. It’s a first for the SDS Podcast.

Trauma and the Parasympathetic Nervous System 

With guest actor/practitioner/super knowledgeable in the areas of trauma, Sue Gisser, educates us why our body responds  how it does, and how to deal with it effectively.

We were so lucky to get Kelly on the podcast. We talk all about psoriasis and a mystery ailment on her legs that cured all by herself!

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated condition that causes the body to make new skin cells in days rather than weeks.

There are several types of psoriasis, the most common of which is plaque psoriasis. It causes patches of thick red skin and silvery scales that are typically found on the elbows, knees, and scalp.

Psoriasis causes itchiness and irritation and may be painful. There's no cure for psoriasis yet, but treatment can ease symptoms.

Five. Top ways to naturally treat dry skin.
Guest Comedian, Monarey Martinez

There’s probably more than five, but it seems like that’s the number that catches peoples eye. The dry season is upon us, the Santa Ana winds were blowing their way through Los Angeles ravaging our hair and our skin, and making us all look like crumpled up tissue paper. Spending as much time in the Joshua tree as we had been, I had to find some natural ways to trap moisture in so I did a little investigating. The dry skin was making me miserable. Even my hair was mad at me. We talk about vegetable glycerin, Shea butter, and so much more. Monarey Martinez is a hilarious Comedian and we were so lucky to have had her on the show. Get the hot gossip about comedians who seem really nice who really aren’t. It’s a definite must watch or listen! It was a hilarious episode. Don’t miss it! Subscribe!
