Comprehensive Care for Healthy, Radiant Skin

Illuminate Functional and Lifestyle Medicine is dedicated to helping patients address chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and rosacea with a holistic, integrative approach. We focus on identifying root causes, alleviating symptoms, and improving skin health through personalized care.

Understanding Psoriasis

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to build up rapidly, leading to scaling, redness, and inflammation. It is often triggered by factors such as:

  • Genetics
  • Stress
  • Infections
  • Dietary sensitivities

Psoriasis can significantly impact quality of life, affecting not only skin health but also joints (psoriatic arthritis) and emotional well-being.

Understanding Rosacea

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. Common triggers include:

  • Environmental factors (e.g., sunlight, wind)
  • Stress
  • Hot or spicy foods
  • Alcohol

Both conditions require a comprehensive and tailored approach to achieve long-term relief and improved skin health.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Skin Health

At Illuminate Functional and Lifestyle Medicine, we take a multi-faceted approach to managing psoriasis and rosacea, focusing on symptom relief and addressing root causes.

Functional Testing and Diagnosis:

To uncover the root causes of your skin issues, we conduct advanced testing, including:

  • Gut Health Analysis: Identifying imbalances like leaky gut, dysbiosis, or food sensitivities that may trigger skin inflammation.
  • Allergy and Sensitivity Testing: Pinpointing environmental or dietary allergens contributing to skin flare-ups.
  • Hormonal Assessments: Evaluating the role of cortisol, thyroid, or sex hormones in skin health.
  • Nutrient Deficiency Panels: Measuring levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants critical for healthy skin.
  • Inflammatory Marker Analysis: Identifying systemic inflammation that impacts skin conditions.

This comprehensive approach allows us to design a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs

Personalized Nutrition Plans:

What you eat plays a significant role in skin health. Our customized nutrition plans include:

  • Anti-Inflammatory Diets: Reducing inflammatory foods and incorporating nutrient-dense options like omega-3s, leafy greens, and antioxidants.
  • Elimination Diets: Identifying and removing food triggers like gluten, dairy, or sugar that may aggravate symptoms.
  • Hydration Support: Encouraging water-rich foods and beverages to improve skin elasticity and hydration.
  • Gut-Skin Connection: Promoting foods that enhance gut microbiome balance, such as fermented foods and prebiotic-rich vegetables.

Your nutrition plan is designed to calm inflammation, support healing, and nourish your skin from within.

Topical and Skincare Support:

Effective skincare complements internal healing. We provide evidence-based recommendations for:

  • Topical Treatments: Natural and medical-grade options to soothe inflammation and repair the skin barrier.
  • Customized Skincare Regimens: Tailored routines that match your skin type and address specific concerns like dryness, redness, or scaling.
  • Clean Beauty Products: Recommendations for non-toxic, hypoallergenic products to avoid exacerbating skin sensitivities.
  • Barrier Repair: Emphasizing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and essential fatty acids to strengthen the skin’s natural defense.

Our approach integrates internal and external solutions to achieve long-lasting results.

Lifestyle Modifications:

Lifestyle factors can play a key role in managing chronic skin conditions. We focus on:

  • Stress Management: Techniques like mindfulness, yoga, and meditation to reduce cortisol and inflammation.
  • Sleep Optimization: Enhancing restorative sleep to allow the skin to repair and rejuvenate.
  • Environmental Adjustments: Minimizing exposure to irritants and pollutants that can worsen skin issues.
  • Exercise Recommendations: Low-impact activities to boost circulation and support detoxification without overheating the skin.

These sustainable changes enhance your body’s ability to heal and maintain healthy skin.

Advanced Therapies:

For more persistent or severe cases, advanced therapies may be incorporated into your care plan, such as:

  • Light Therapy (Phototherapy): Using controlled UV light to reduce inflammation and alleviate psoriasis and eczema symptoms.
  • Peptide Therapy: Supporting collagen production and skin repair at a cellular level.
  • Detoxification Protocols: Helping the body eliminate toxins that contribute to skin inflammation.
  • Microbiome Modulation: Addressing imbalances in the skin’s microbiome with topical or systemic interventions.

Our advanced therapies provide cutting-edge solutions to complement your personalized treatment plan.
