At Functional Medicine Clinic, we help people reverse chronic conditions through the process of detoxification, healing the gut by fixing dysbiosis, bringing hormonal balances and providing right supplementation.

The semi-permeable nature of the gut allows very small molecules (micronutrients) to pass through the intestinal wall to absorb the nutrients.
The intestinal wall can be damaged by various factors including infections, medications, food intolerances and stress. When this intestinal barrier is damaged intestinal pathobionts, larger food particles and toxins (from the food/ microorganisms) “leak through” your gut and enter your bloodstream, triggering an immune response and leaky gut.
Today there is enough evidence to show that leaky gut is a precursor to autoimmunity.

Can you get a clear skin after being diagnosed with Psoriasis?
Answer is Yes! If you address the root cause of your psoriasis, you can get a clear healthy skin again!!
Functional medicine's approach to treating psoriasis involves addressing its underlying causes and emphasises a holistic, personalised treatment plan.
Here are the key aspects:
Psoriasis & Functional Medicine:
🌱 Diet: Avoid inflammatory foods, dairy, and gluten. A nutrient-dense diet rich in vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats is recommended.

Psoriasis is often thought to be an adult condition, but it can affect individuals of any age, including children. In fact, psoriasis in children is not uncommon, though it may sometimes present differently than it does in adults. The condition is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes rapid skin cell turnover, leading to thick, scaly patches on the skin. Both genetic and environmental factors can play a role in its development, and early diagnosis and treatment are important for managing the symptoms and improving quality of life for affected individuals, regardless of age.

Psoriasis is commonly misunderstood as merely a skin condition, but it actually affects much more than just the skin.
Psoriasis is not just a skin issue; it is a complex condition that can impact mental health, joints, and overall well-being. Comprehensive management of psoriasis involves not only treating the skin symptoms but also addressing the psychological and systemic aspects to improve quality of life for individuals living with this condition.

One common myth about psoriasis is that it is a contagious disease. This is not true. Psoriasis is actually a non-contagious autoimmune condition. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, leading to the rapid turnover of skin cells. This results in the formation of raised, red patches covered with whitish-silver scales on the skin. It's important for people to understand that psoriasis cannot be passed from person to person through physical contact, unlike contagious skin conditions such as ringworm or scabies. Understanding this can help reduce stigma and promote empathy towards those affected by psoriasis.

What Causes Psoriasis??
🫧Dysregulated Immune System: Overactive immune response causes rapid skin cell growth, leading to scales and red patches.
🫧Triggers: 👉Medications: Drugs like lithium, beta-blockers, and antimalarials can provoke flare-ups.
👉Fungal Infections: Infections like strep throat, candida overgrowth can trigger or worsen psoriasis.
👉Poor gut health: leaky gut is often at play
👉Stress: High stress levels can exacerbate symptoms.
🫧Lifestyle: 👉Excessive Alcohol: Heavy drinking increases severity and reduces treatment effectiveness.
