A 32-Year Journey with Psoriasis: Kelly’s Path to Healing Through Root Cause Medicine
In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler speaks with Kelly, a client whose experience with psoriasis began in early childhood and persisted for over three decades. From topical steroids and phototherapy to restrictive elimination diets and functional medicine, Kelly shares the evolution of her approach and the emotional toll of living with a visible, chronic skin condition.
Kelly walks us through her turning point—when frustration, resilience, and a desire to feel truly well led her to The Clear Skin Lab. She opens up about the deeper work she did with her practitioner: addressing iron overload, gut infections, mineral depletion, and the overlooked impact of chronic stress.
This conversation offers not only practical insight into root-cause healing, but also a powerful message about self-advocacy, emotional resilience, and regaining trust in your body. Listen now!
