Healing Psoriasis: A Comprehensive Approach to Treating Inflammation and Autoimmunity - Episode 198

Did you know diet is a massive help in reducing inflammation contributing to Psoriasis? Join Jeffrey Gladden and Dayna Hrovath in this episode of Gladden Longevity. Dayna Hrovath is the owner of Fountain Mills Functional Wellness. She has been helping frustrated people with psoriasis improve itch, pain, and rash using a unique approach to this condition that few in the healthcare world have access to. Dayna has been a Dermatology Physician Assistant since 2005, which she knew she wanted to be since she was younger, and now finds it very rewarding. A few years ago, she started having health problems that weren't being adequately addressed by conventional medicine. She turned towards alternative methods and was amazed at what could be done to actually improve a condition instead of just covering up the symptoms. During such a journey, Dayna felt like she wanted to give others an alternative, too, to help them improve their skin their overall health and to empower them. She understands that having a healthcare plan that lets you take control of your own health is paramount to your success. This episode discusses how psoriasis is not just a skin disease and how it can affect longevity as well through the increased risks of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, lymphoma, psoriatic arthritis, and other autoimmune conditions. Dayna shares that medications aren't the only way to help and that there are lifestyle changes that can make a difference. Diet is huge in reducing the inflammation contributing to psoriasis.
