Psoriasis 101:More Than Just a Skin Thing
In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler takes a deep dive into the complex and often misunderstood world of psoriasis—an autoimmune condition that goes far beyond the surface of the skin. Drawing from both personal experience and over a decade of clinical work, Robyn shares why addressing psoriasis requires far more than topical treatments or vitamin D supplements.
This episode breaks down the internal drivers of chronic inflammation—including gut health, immune system dysregulation, liver overload, stress, mineral imbalances, and environmental exposures—and explains how these systems interact to create the perfect storm for psoriasis to take hold.
Whether you've just been diagnosed, have struggled with psoriasis for years, or are simply looking for a deeper, more individualized approach to healing, this episode offers valuable insight into the root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks. Listen now!
