FREE - thereā€™s no excuse. The information, the data, and the framework. Itā€™s all there for you. The more I learn about this disease the more I am certain that nutrition is the third pill of disease management. And I really think that with our current treatment options, it is to the benefit of everyone to use nutrition to bridge the gap between where your treatment can get you to where you want to be ā€¦.because remember medicationā€™s treat disease but they donā€™t make you healthy your diet and lifestyle make you healthy.

After eight years in remission, these are the anti-inflammatory habits that actually work šŸ‘‡

1. Start every day with 30 grams of protein to stabilize blood sugar from the jump
2. Never eat carbs alone, always pair them with protein and fat to prevent insulin spikes
3. Drink bone broth weekly for gut healing, collagen, and amino acid support
4. Prioritize 7 to 9 hours of sleep because inflammation skyrockets when you're sleep deprived
5. Move your body daily, even just a 10 minute walk after meals to improve insulin sensitivity
6. Manage stress consistently, meditation, breathwork, journaling, whatever actually works for you
7. Eat warm, cooked, nutrient-dense foods like ginger, turmeric, and anti-inflammatory vegetables

These aren't trendy or complicated. But consistency with these basics is what keeps my HS calm šŸ¤Œ

Remission is possible when you support your body's ability to regulate inflammation. āœØ

I think itā€™s no secret I love public speakingā€”but Iā€™m usually on stage as an educator, talking nutrition. Iā€™ve been doing that for 10 years, and itā€™s still my favorite.

Last night was different.

I had the opportunity to represent the patient voice at the RAPIDS conference, in a powerful session hosted by ā€” focused on bringing patient experience and needs into HS education.

The level of engagement and genuine enthusiasm from practitioners gave me real hope for the future of treatment. There are so many people deeply committed to helping our communityā€”and I love seeing patient advocates included at every level.

Because the truth is: we are the reason.
We are the reason clinical trials exist.
We are the reason treatments are developed.
We are the reason for all of it.

And when companies keep patients at the center, thatā€™s when the biggest impact happens.

Motivation isnā€™t enough. Discipline is what carries you.

I donā€™t always *feel* like meal prepping or moving my body. But Iā€™ve learned that if I donā€™t hit a baselineā€”if I donā€™t show up for myself in those small, consistent waysā€”I donā€™t feel my best.

Discipline isnā€™t just about pushing. Itā€™s also about *listening*.

This morning I worked out, prepped my meals, cleaned upā€¦ and now Iā€™m on the couch, resting. I even opted out of plans so I can recover. Thatā€™s discipline tooā€”knowing your body and honoring what it needs.

Itā€™s a practice.
Not perfection. Just repetition.

Good days, bad days, tired daysā€¦ you keep going.
And over time, discipline meets you there.

Expensive probiotics from the drugstore or homemade sauerkraut made from cabbage and salt? šŸ„¬

For most people, whole food fermented foods do more for your gut than random supplements off the shelf. Sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso aren't wellness hacks; they're foods humans have eaten for centuries to support digestion.

Making your own ferments is one of the easiest ways to reconnect with ancestral food practices. Plus, it's literally cabbage and salt.

You can't get more affordable or simple than that šŸ˜‰

I was doing everything "right" and still flaring constantly šŸ˜ž

I cut out trigger foods. I managed my stress. I followed all the advice. But my HS kept coming back, and I couldn't figure out why.

Then I discovered the real issue: my blood sugar was crashing multiple times a day. I was skipping breakfast, eating carbs alone, going hours without food, and my body was on a constant insulin and cortisol roller coaster šŸŽ¢

Every time my blood sugar crashed, my body released cortisol and adrenaline to compensate. That stress response triggered inflammation, which showed up as flares 24 to 48 hours later.

Once I stabilized my blood sugar by eating protein at every meal, never skipping breakfast, and eating consistently throughout the day, my flares dropped dramatically āœØ

The thing keeping you stuck might not be what you think.

These free resources for nutrition focus on an approach to diet for lowering inflammation specifically for HS, which is driven by clinical data. While a lot of of the data to date is observational itā€™s what we got, for now.

Iā€™m also able to support this by not only my personal experience but the experience that Iā€™ve had with working with hundreds of people with HS as well as the 300 people that I surveyed.

There is no one approach that will work for everybody with HS and that is true for medication as well. So take this resource, as a starting point. As information to drive informed choices. And always listen to your body.

Both of these are Google Docs. Thereā€™s no email, thereā€™s no download. You just click the link and you have access to both of these documents absolutely free. I want to help people with HS have access to support with nutrition, in a way that they can understand, in a way that their medical team can also use.

I want these resources to also be guides for doctors who treat this disease. I understand that nutrition and lifestyle support for chronic illness is a gap in medical care mostly due to the time constraints the practitioners have. So this is a tool to make it easier not just for the patients, but also the doctors to support people living with HS in making informed dietary choices that will complement their treatment plan.


Use it. Share it. And let me know if you have any questions. šŸ’œ

A few weeks ago, two college students from FIU reached out to me about a documentary they were creating on people living with HS. I agreed to be interviewedā€¦and Iā€™m so glad I did.

One of the students also has HS, and I was genuinely moved by her courage and initiative. At her age, I was still trying to hide what I was going through. Seeing her step forward and tell these stories felt powerful.

They spent the entire day at my house filming, asking thoughtful questions, and putting so much care into this project. Later, they even joined our community photo shoot; Yairi proudly showed her scars, too.

Itā€™s wild to think that something I once believed would ruin my life has become one of my greatest sources of purpose and connection.

Community really does beget community. The more we show up, scars and all, the more we create space, understanding, and hope for the next person.

You're doing everything "right" and still flaring. Here's why šŸ‘‡

Even healthy foods can spike your blood sugar if you're eating them wrong. A smoothie with just fruit? Blood sugar spike. Toast with avocado but no protein? Blood sugar spike. A salad with no fat or protein? You guessed it, blood sugar spike.

When your blood sugar spikes, insulin follows. That insulin surge triggers an inflammatory cascade that can lead to HS flares 24 to 48 hours later. šŸ˜¤

Here's what actually works: never eat carbs alone, always pair them with protein and fat. Start your day with 30 grams of protein. Eat consistently throughout the day so your blood sugar doesn't crash and rebound.

Blood sugar stability is one of the most powerful tools for managing HS inflammation. Once I figured this out, my flares became way less frequent. āœØ

ā€œIf you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.ā€

Meal prep isnā€™t about perfection ā€” itā€™s about setting yourself up for success.

When you have protein goals, food sensitivities, or a busy life (or all three), you canā€™t rely on willpower alone. You need a plan. You need food ready *before* youā€™re tired, hungry, and short on time.

Because letā€™s be honestā€¦ thatā€™s when decisions get hard.

Taking 1ā€“2 hours to prep a few meals means:
āœØ no scrambling during the week
āœØ no defaulting to foods that donā€™t serve you
āœØ no forcing yourself to eat the same boring thing over and over

Instead, you get meals that are:
šŸ„— nourishing
šŸ— protein-packed
šŸŒæ aligned with your body
šŸ”„ actually flavorful and satisfying

Eating well shouldnā€™t feel like a daily battle. It should feel like support.

Prep once. Thank yourself all week.

For decades, people with HS lived in hiding, suffering in silence and alone šŸ«‚

The shame around this condition was so heavy that most people never talked about it. HS was something you concealed, something you carried by yourself.

Things are changing now. Brave people are sharing their stories, and the silence is breaking.

If you're living with hidradenitis suppurativa, hear this: it's not your fault. You've done nothing wrong, and you have nothing to be ashamed of šŸ’œ

There are resources out there for you. Organizations like HS Connect at HS Connect - Hidradenitis Suppurativa Connect are building community support by patients for patients.

When you find your people, living with HS gets a whole lot better.
