  Speaker 2: So if this has been.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You, listen up. Okay, she has said, Hi, beautiful ladies,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of shame around living with psoriasis,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: which is a skin condition I believe Tiana has previously
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: mentioned that she suffers from, which would be kind enough
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to share her tips and advice on how she manages this.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I'm so sorry that you're going through this.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Firstly, it is so annoying.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah have skin issues, It like can really make you
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: feel I know personally, like it makes me feel insecure.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: If it's somewhere on my body where it's exposed, I'm like, oh,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: oh no, like some people are going to see it
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: and you know. And this is something that I've actually
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: struggled with from a young age. So when I was
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: a little girl, like my mum couldn't even buy shampoo
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: conditioner from wool Worse because it would make my head
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: raw red raw.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Like my skin.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: It was just it would strip my skin so badly anyway,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: so that I would get like crisis all over my head.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I'd get it all over my chest, all over my back,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and I actually, funnily enough, have it at the moment.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: And this is something over the years I've learned how
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: to deal with because I've learned about my body and
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: what my body can take and not take, and what
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I have come to learn this.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Is for me personally.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: It might not be the same for you, but for me,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: my crisis comes out when I eat gluten. I'm intolerant
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: to gluten, and I have learned that through a natural path.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I went go tested and everything like that, and my
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: body just cannot digest it properly. And that is what
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: seems to be the thing that sparks mysiasis. So when
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I don't eat gluten, it completely goes away. So there's
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: no steroid cream that works that gets rid of it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Because steroid creams you're not supposed to use for a
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: long term. They're supposed to be a temporary fix. I
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: personally think they're a band aid fix. I don't think
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: they're a solution. I don't personally use them. I have
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: in the past to help when it's been really bad,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: But honestly, my best suggestion for you is to go
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: get your gut checked, like, go to a naturopath if
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: you can, if you can afford to do it, go
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to a nutropath. Go see what it is that's happening
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: within your body, because your skin conditions have to do
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: with either your gut or your liver, so something in
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: your body is not happy right now. And yeah, honestly,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: for me, the best thing that I did was go
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: on a gut protocol. Basically, in simple terms, without you
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: having to go and fork out all the money for
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: a protocol, what you can do. You may be intolerant
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to gluten, you can try it. I don't know if
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it's going to be the best solution because it's not
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: specific to your body. But see what it is that
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: your body reacts to. Like if there's something you know
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: that you're eating and you feel a bit bloated and
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you feel a bit sick in the tom, cut it out,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Drink filtered water. If you can get on bone broth,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: get on bone broth. What else do I do?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Be organs?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeap organ tablets, So I take organ tablets. Those are
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: really really helpful. And I highly suggest getting a shampoo
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: and conditioner that is.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Not store board because you might not get it here.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: It might be a body yes that's true.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like a body wash or something that could like
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: strip because I remember the other day you said you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: used to cleanser on your chest and it kind of stripped,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and it's a really gentle, beautiful cleanser. But any kind
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of product, I suppose soap wise, whether it shampoo or
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a body wash, would strip your skin. And then if
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: it has fragments in it or yes, just a shit
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: on the other ingredients. You need to go cold turkey
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: on what you're putting on your body.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: You definitely do.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So I would cut out anything that has fragrance, like
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: well actually said I can't, especially not at the moment
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: while my body is flat. I can't use anything with fragrance,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: So things like w Letta, which is a really clean, natural,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: no fragrance brand that I find has been good for me. Yeah,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: anything with no fragrance body washes, stay away from those
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: if they have fragrance.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Stripping the oil strong sense, Yeah, not good.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I like what you're talking about the gut health though,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: because even though you're intolerant to gluten, if your gut
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is in flame, which gluten is in flame your gut,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: but if your gut has any type of inflammation, your
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: skin is a representation of that. Yes, So regardless of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: products to use not to use, if you're not going
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to the root cause, which is your gut health, then
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it's not going to get better.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So, whether it's through a natch path or whether it
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is through like eliminating things, going on a gut protocol,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of research depending on where you're at
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and what your budget is, butus definitely getting help to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: really clean out your gut, rebuild the lining back up.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's actually a gut powder that I use.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, I personally don't know if it helps with
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: my skin, but I take it anyway because I know
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: my gut is inflamed.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: It's metagenics.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, metagenics and it's called glutagenics is actual product. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: take that like twice a day regardless, just to help.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: And those other supplements I mentioned really do helps well.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: So if you can kind of get enough nutrients into
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: your body and help your skin internally, that's going to
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: be the best option. I would stay away from all
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the topical stuff unless it is really bad where you're like, oh,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I need to just you're scared and you want to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: hide it and you scared of other people seeing it,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: or you're feeling really insecure about it, then I understand.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: But I think for me personally, like I know, when
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I can see it on my body, I'm like, okay,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I haven't solved the problem yet, you know.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So if you can be willing to be patient with.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Yourself, it may take a lot longer for it to
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: go away, but at least if you know that you're
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: healing it from the inside, then you know that the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: problem is actually being solved, as opposed to like whacking
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: a band aid solution on it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And don't let it sound scary when we say like
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: cut something out. I think a lot of people get
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: really scared to cut things out. But I mean, at
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I don't know, when you
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: go back to Cape Ma and days, what were we
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: surviving off eat berries, nuts, fruits. There was nothing process,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: There was nothing in packages, there was nothing being sprayed
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with all the crap that our fruits and vegetables even
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: being sprayed with these days. Like even I hate say it,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: but the venue some coals and woolies are being sprayed
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: by a million pesticides. They're grown in oil, and they're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: plucked when they're not even ready to pluck, so they're
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: lacking nutrients. They're then frozen. Like, there's just so much
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: wrong with our food sources these days. If I was
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in your position too, like I would be cutting it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: back to basics. Yes, I'll be eating as quote unquote
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: clean and natural as possible, getting rid of all the process.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Obviously alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, vaping. I think soy, gluten and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: dairy are a really good place to start as well.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: We're so lucky we live in a day and age
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: where there is so many healthy alternatives, Like you can't
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: have dairy cool. There's everything in coconut, Yeah, everything in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: almond like they literally confined options for everything in the wraps.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: There's coconut wras, coconut wraps, and they're actually really delicious.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, they's a bit more expensive, they're a bit robbery,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: but the yeah, yeah, when you value your health and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you want to get to the bottom of it, you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: do have to invest time, persistence, patience and money to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it and be able to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: help your body absolutely.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: And like what you said, the best way to do
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: if you don't necessarily have the budget to go get
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: support is just like what actually just said, like cutting
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: out all the foods you know are going to be
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: inflammatory for your gut, because if right now your gut
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: is inflamed, it's usually because of what we're consuming. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: like as you mentioned, like the natural obvious ones are alcohol, cigarettes,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: all of those sorts of things.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even just cutting down on what sugar you're consuming,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: how you're consuming it. If you're eating out all the time,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: like are you eating at good places orre you eating
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: at places that have a lot of you know, heavy
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: oils like that seed oils mess my gut up, Like
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: when I'm eating things that are deep fried that mixed
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: with the gluten is like a recipe for disaster with
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: my gut, and I noticed it come out in my skin.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: And this is part of the reason why I believe
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: it's come out in my skin this time around, because
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I just recently went to Bali and I ate gluten
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: over there, and it was also like deep fried and
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I had it a couple of times, and then that
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: mixed with the heat, with the water, with hair products
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: and hair treatments that I was getting, it was just
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: a recipe for disaster.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: So I hope this has been helpful.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: And if you have any more questions, you're more than
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: welcome to reach out to me my dams and we
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: can have a chat about it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, good luck.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: If you can get an atch proth, I would definitely
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: onto an utch proth. It can help get to the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: deep on lying issues of Oh.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It'll be so worth it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there's so many beautiful ways you can
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: support your body.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's like I'd like to be a prime investigating your body.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It takes time. You've got to research trial and error things.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: It'd be really patient.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, It's like when I had actne when I was younger,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it took you years for it to fully clean up
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and for me to learn what was causing it. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I definitely believe stress and gut health was the bottom
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Definitely. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Actually you just minded me something too.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: When I'm super super.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Stressed, ciriasis breaks out, like on my back.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I remember had that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I had like a full blown rash all over my
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: stomach and my back.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: That was post Brady. It's like, yeah, so sad. Yeah
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that was interesting. Yeah, something stress related as well. So
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it stress causes inflammation definitely hand in hand.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so if your feeling super activated at the moment,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: could even be like meditations before bed. Yeah, nervous system
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: resets five minutes long. You can jump on YouTube. There's
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: lots of different ways to help.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: So definitely hope this has helped.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Love and with soriasis, acne, whatever skin condition.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You're still beautiful, You're still worthy. Yes, that doesn't define
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: who you are. It's just a part of your journey.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: We just want to get to the root and heal
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: it from the inside out so you don't have to
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: deal with it anymore.
• 9:08
