101: Psoriasis-Thyroid Connection

from The Healthy Skin Show · host Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS, Skin Rash Expert

Is there a connection between psoriasis (and even psoriatic arthritis) and thyroid problems? YES. I started to notice a trend amongst my psoriasis clients in my private clinical nutrition practice -- thyroid levels tend to be really off. No one ever bothered to look at them previously, but I do because a thyroid panel can reveal a lot about the status of certain nutrients. Plus it can explain certain symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, and weight gain... and even autoimmunity. As I looked deeper into the research, I found some really interesting correlations between these conditions. AND repeated urgings from researchers for doctors to include thyroid screenings in those with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. And yet... I have yet to meet a psoriasis client who has ever had their thyroid evaluated (unless they already had a known thyroid issue). That's why I want to share this information with you!
