Nutritional Therapist Sophia Delgaizo, 31, was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis when she was 18. She tried conventional topical steroid creams for her skin for years, however these did not control her psoriasis.
She discovered that stress, alcohol, gluten and processed foods were the main triggers for her psoriasis, and armed with this knowledge she has managed to keep her psoriasis under control for the past seven years, using diet and lifestyle interventions.
Having experienced first-hand how nutrition and lifestyle changes can improve health, she decided to retrain as a Nutritional Therapist after years working for the government in the mental health field.
Sophia is very passionate about skin health and wants to share and support others with skin issues. She is very interested in gut health, as our gut microbiota directly affect our skin (skin-gut axis), and the link between psoriasis and intestinal permeability.
