Anik St. Martin, D.C., DACCP, has owned and led a large holistic family wellness practice for twenty-five years. After a personal journey with autoimmunity and conducting over two decades of extensive research on psoriasis, Dr. St-Martin has developed, refined, and applied her expertise and experience to helping people of all ages overcome and cure their psoriasis.
Dr. St. Martin practices and lives with her husband, Dr. Darin Shook, in Washington State. When she isn't creating something in the kitchen, the couple spends their free time sailing and in the outdoors with their sons, Simon and Marco, and with their dogs, Stella and Charlotte.
In this episode, Dr. Anik St Martin shares how healing her mindset — not just her diet — finally cleared decades of severe psoriasis, and breaks down the gut, hormone, and stress factors driving autoimmune skin flares.
