I built this 12-week foundational plan to bring together the nutritional, digestive, gut-barrier, microbiome, omega-3, vitamin D, inflammatory-balance, and liver-support strategies I commonly consider when supporting autoimmune physiology.
Self-directed foundational support. This is not a cure for psoriasis and does not replace appropriate medical or dermatologic care.
If you search for psoriasis supplements, it does not take long to find dozens of recommendations. Omega-3s. Vitamin D. Curcumin. Probiotics. Zinc. Digestive support. Liver support. The problem is not a shortage of products. The problem is knowing how the pieces fit together.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease. A supplement cannot tell us what first triggered the autoimmune process in you, and there is no single supplement that explains every case.
That is what this plan is designed to do. It gives you a structured starting point instead of asking you to build a supplement program bottle by bottle.
I knew something internally was causing my psoriasis and that putting something on my skin was not going to address why it was happening.
I lived with psoriasis for years. I saw dermatologists, used topical treatments, and tried light-based approaches. Those treatments did temporarily help the outward symptoms, but at what cost? I had used tanning beds, steroids, tar-based creams, and topical treatments that sensitized my skin to light, all without addressing why it was actually happening internally. I kept coming back to the same question: what is causing my psoriasis in the first place? I did not just want to treat the symptoms.
That question led me to study functional medicine and functional immunology. I began looking at how diet and nutrition, gastrointestinal health, the intestinal lining as an immune barrier, nutrient status, metabolic health and insulin sensitivity, stress, sleep, environmental exposures, infections, and other signals can interact with the immune system.
Throughout my own journey and years of working with clients, I learned that there are practical ways to support autoimmune physiology without always starting with extensive testing. An educated, clinically informed approach to nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation can be a cost-effective place to begin. That is why I created this 12-week psoriasis supplement, diet, and lifestyle protocol.
The protocol intentionally focuses on one part of the process: SUPPORT.
Investigate the history, symptoms, diet, labs, medications, exposures, digestion, lifestyle, and other clues that may point toward meaningful triggers, drivers, or physiological patterns.
Provide foundational support for nutrient status, fatty-acid balance, digestion, the intestinal barrier, the microbiome, vitamin D status, inflammatory signaling, and normal hepatic biotransformation.
Look at what changed, what did not, what you tolerated, and what your response teaches you. The next decision should come from the response, not from blindly continuing a protocol forever.
I organized the protocol by physiological role first and product second. The point is not to buy a bunch of supplements. It is to build a focused protocol around areas of physiology that are commonly relevant in psoriasis and autoimmune health.
Supports basic vitamin and mineral needs involved in normal cellular and metabolic function.
DFH Complete MultiSupports healthy fatty-acid balance, cardiovascular health, immune function, and normal inflammatory physiology.
Nordic Naturals ProOmega® 2000Provides Meriva® curcumin phytosome to support antioxidant defenses and healthy inflammatory signaling. The protocol includes gradual step-up instructions.
CurcuThera® with Meriva® 500-SFSupports a diverse intestinal microbiome and the gastrointestinal environment.
Ther-Biotic® Complete ProbioticProvides zinc-carnosine and glutamine to support the gastric and intestinal mucosal barrier.
EndoZinProvides digestive enzymes used at the beginning of meals to support digestion.
SerenAidSupports healthy vitamin D status, immune function, bone health, and calcium metabolism. Individual needs can vary.
Vitamin D3 + KProvides amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and cofactors used in normal hepatic biotransformation and elimination pathways.
Apex Energetics ClearVite-GL™Because psoriasis is not one uniform problem. I designed this protocol to support several areas that commonly matter in autoimmune health, so the pieces work together as a broader foundation.
A good psoriasis supplementation protocol should be complemented by dietary and lifestyle changes. This plan includes practical nutrition and lifestyle guidance to help improve the environment the supplements are designed to support. In similar cases, I have seen this broader strategy become an important part of meaningful progress for many clients.
This is a 12-week strategy designed to bring supplementation, diet, and lifestyle together in one focused plan.
These stories are not claims that this supplement protocol will produce the same results. They are examples of why I believe a broader psoriasis strategy that combines nutritional support with dietary and lifestyle changes can create meaningful opportunities for people with psoriasis.
Sherry reported improvement in her feet, hands, and overall health while working with Dr. Shook.
She said the painful cracking in her feet was gone and that her hands were doing much better. She also described feeling dramatically better compared with the previous year.
“My feet have been doing a lot better! No cracks! My hands of course are doing better too.”
“I still feel so much better compared to last year. I am forever grateful for your knowledge and how much you helped me.”
After changing her diet and lifestyle and beginning nutritional support, Brenda reported significant improvement in her psoriasis.
She said the changes took time, but she eventually started seeing significant progress.
“This keeps my skin about 95% clear most of the time.”
“I am so grateful, and I really hope my story helps other people.”
Individual experiences vary. These stories reflect the experiences of individual clients and do not guarantee similar results.
Now that you know the protocol, the next step is to get started making changes. The supplement protocol is organized and provided through Fullscript, which gives me a simple way to keep the products, detailed instructions, and dietary and lifestyle guidance together so you do not have to rebuild the plan yourself or search for each piece on your own.
If you have joint pain, swelling, prolonged morning stiffness, heel pain, swollen fingers or toes, or significant nail changes, do not rely on a supplement protocol alone. Psoriatic arthritis deserves timely medical evaluation.
Learn About Psoriatic Arthritis SymptomsNo. There is no scientifically established supplement cure for psoriasis. This is a foundational nutrition and lifestyle support protocol designed to support several areas of physiology that may be relevant to autoimmune health. It is intended to complement appropriate medical and dermatologic care.
The Fullscript plan is organized as a coordinated foundational protocol, but your medications, health history, allergies, pregnancy status, laboratory findings, or other medical considerations may change what is appropriate for you. If you are unsure whether a product is appropriate, review the plan with your physician, pharmacist, or another qualified healthcare professional before starting it.
Possibly, but supplement and medication interactions matter. Do not stop or change a prescription medication because you are starting this protocol. Review the complete supplement list with the clinician or pharmacist responsible for your medications before beginning it.
The plan is structured as a 12-week foundation. At approximately 12 weeks, reassess your skin, digestion, energy, sleep, tolerance, lifestyle, medication changes, and any relevant laboratory findings rather than automatically continuing every product indefinitely.
Yes. The Fullscript plan includes nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress-management recommendations in addition to the supplement instructions. The goal is to support the larger physiological environment rather than treat supplements as the whole strategy.
Fullscript keeps the complete plan, product instructions, current account pricing or practitioner discounts when available, and reordering in one place. Purchases and fulfillment are handled through Fullscript rather than directly by DrBradShook.com.
No. This supplement protocol is a self-directed foundational SUPPORT plan. Individualized care adds the DETECT and REASSESS parts of the process by reviewing your history, symptoms, records, labs, diet, lifestyle, exposures, medications, and response to determine which factors deserve attention in your case.
Joint pain, swelling, prolonged morning stiffness, heel pain, swollen fingers or toes, or significant nail changes deserve appropriate medical evaluation. A supplement protocol should not delay evaluation for possible psoriatic arthritis because inflammatory joint disease can cause damage if it is not recognized and treated appropriately.

By purchasing or using supplements through this protocol, you acknowledge the Supplement Purchase & Use Terms. Fullscript's current terms and fulfillment policies also apply.
This public protocol is self-directed educational and nutritional support. Purchasing or reordering supplements does not by itself establish, renew, extend, or expand an individualized consulting relationship with Brad Shook, DC, AFMC.
Supplements can interact with medications and may not be appropriate for everyone. Review the complete plan with your physician, pharmacist, or another qualified healthcare professional before beginning it if you take prescription medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have significant liver, kidney, gallbladder, bleeding, or other medical conditions, or are preparing for surgery.
Do not stop or change prescription psoriasis treatment because you begin this protocol. Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis can require medical treatment, and functional medicine strategies can be used alongside appropriate care.
