Overcoming Chronic Skin Challenges
On today’s show, Jane welcomes Dr. Saakshi Khattri, a triple board-certified dermatologist, rheumatologist and internist, as well as the Director of the Center for Connective Tissue Diseases at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her expertise includes autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including psoriatic disease, where dermatology and rheumatology often intersect. Joining the conversation is Michelle Rayburn, whose psoriasis rapidly progressed to psoriatic arthritis. Sudden exhaustion and joint pain reshaped Michelle’s daily life, yet her experience became one of resilience, self-advocacy, and reclaiming what matters most. Michelle reflects on her personal treatment journey with BIMZELX, an FDA-approved biologic injectable medicine, and the meaningful impact it has had. Together, they explore navigating a chronic diagnosis, asking informed questions, and finding hope beyond the hardest days. Dr. Khattri also offers practical guidance for maintaining healthy, comfortable skin at every age, including three simple habits. It’s an inspiring conversation about learning from those who have found a path forward—and discovering how to build a life that is Better Than Before, one day at a time.
