Radiant - Eat Your Way to Healthy Skin

If you are serious about controlling your psoriasis, this is the book for you! Not only the recipes, but the entire program Hanna uses. I can see the difference already, and in all honestly, I am not adhering to the program daily or eating just her receipes. I have tried everything, like everyone else, and for the first time in over 20 years I feel like I will be wearing capris and short sleeves by June.... I will review again then. I am so grateful to Hannah for the book, the chance to try something new, and her success pictures. She definitely is inspiring me to keep going!

I purchased this book as a “non aip” solution to my chronic inflammation in both my joints and body, not to heal any skin issues, because a friends husband had cured his psoriasis and joint pain with this diet. The dramatic results for me was life changing. I never once felt deprived or hungry, lost 20 pounds in 2 months, and no longer wake up sore in the morning. My eye inflammation is finally healing as well.This diet requires commitment (what diet doesn’t?!). Sourcing some of the foods can be hard, but I have been able to do it (or sub similar, healthy, ingredients when necessary). Basically, you need to commit to ditching, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, processed foods, gluten, dairy, meat and nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and the like) along with a few other things. This can be a challenge, but as you start to feel better, you can add things slowly back in and see how they affect you. I wish there was more about that “adding back in” process in the book, but a quick google “aip paleo” gave me some tips for that.The ingredients can also get expensive, but i consider it a medical expense and an investment in my future. Plus, my whole family—all 7 of us—are eating healthier foods!I recommend giving this diet a try if you have an autoimmune disorder and chronic inflammation—especially if you don’t eat meat or fish making a paleo autoimmune protocol hard to fit into your life. This plant based diet made a world of difference for me!

I absolutely love this book! It is very informative and really helpful for someone with psoriasis, eczema or any other skin issues . I initially met the author via Instagram and reached out to her as I had struggled with psoriasis for 4 years and she sent me some free information to start with. After feeling an improvement in my energy after trying out some of her suggestions, I decided to buy this book. Awesome! I recently made the Coconut Cardamom soup and it's delicious and hearty and filling. The layout of the book is very reader friendly. I love that the steps are not complicated so it makes following her recipes easy for me to follow since I absolutely detest following directions. LOL. The first part of the book is great information for anyone who's trying to make sense about what they need to avoid in order to bring down inflammation of their skin, the photographs of the food look absolutely divine and just a very easy book to follow and read. I have a few recipe books and this is the only one that I would actually look through and cook from because she has laid it out so nicely and easily. If you want to see a genuine difference in your health, this book is great! I have seen some dramatic improvements in my skin in about a month, and that's just from her suggestions. Now that I have the book, I feel empowered to make a difference in my own health and since there's so many recipes, it will never get dull in my kitchen. Thank you Hanna! You are as always an inspiration! P.S I love that the instructions for the recipes are only 1 page and the steps are so simple. :-)

Hands down the best cookbook for people with eczema & psoriasis. The "high five" juice in the book is so good and the raw carrot cake is a game changer. I follow Hanna on Instagram and have even talked with her via email. She is an incredible soul who is dedicated in helping people.

I preordered this at the end of last year, under the impression (after asking the author) that it would be an edition with US standard measurements as opposed to the metric system. When I received it a couple of weeks ago I was disappointed to see that it was all in the metric system, and °C instead of °F. I contacted the publisher and they said a newer edition has a conversion table included now, but I guess the edition I got wasn't new enough because it doesn't have that. In short, the recipes look good, but it's not drastically different than other books of the same, and therefore not really worth it to me to keep it if I'll have to keep looking up conversions to a be able to prepare the meals. It really should be specified in the description, especially since its being ordered from the US amazon website, not the UK one.

This book changed my life and I have to tell others about it. Back in February, my little (big) family all got Strep. After my bout with it, I broke out from head to toe from a “rash.” After several dr appts and my own research, I found out that I have guttate psoriasis. It’s autoimmune and also genetic. I was devastated, but determined to deal with it, because after all, I didn’t have a choice. I found this book through Instagram (social media is a wonderful gift) and have followed her suggestions through a well written plan. And I’m happy to say, my skin has cleared up 80% from what it was. And not a single dose of medicine. I still have a ways to go, but with the right diet, I will get there. The phrase “you are what you eat” is the truest thing I have ever heard. With 4 months of the paleo life style, I have also lost 11.2 pounds, and my face is the clearest it has ever been, unintentional. So if you have been struggling with #guttatepsoriasis yourself, I highly suggest this book! It was the best $20 I have ever spent.

To anybody considering purchasing this book please do!! It has changed my life completely. I was at a point with my skin where I thought things would never improve for me. I thought right this is it for me, I am going to have to battle with this condition for the rest of my life... how wrong was I! The results in this photo are from only a few weeks, it is amazing what our own bodies are capable of and how healing food can be to our system. I have NEVER found this amount of relief from any creams and steroids the doctors have prescribed to me. Hanna is amazing, i contacted her on Instagram a few weeks ago now when I was desperate to see some changes in my skin, I have never looked back since!

I've bought two copies of this book - once recently for a friend - and it's the best of it's type. Its quite similar in advice to Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative by John O. A. Pagano, but while that book's ideas are a bit hard to follow day in day out (I gave up out of frustration), Hannah has simplified things and created a wealth of tasty skin-safe recipes. Most recipes can be made form supermarket ingredients with a few more specialist items on the side.Before I started the program proper, I worked on a few things like radically reducing my rather high caffeine intake. I already liked 'healthy food' so had little junk to eliminate. Innovations for me were removing nightshades and all gluten and adding the supplements. As I got deeper into the program I noticed things like daily body brushing, salt baths and other seemingly peripheral things were actually very helpful in both promoting healing at at least improving the cosmetic looks of the skin.One thing I noticed, even from the first three weeks, is that my often pretty bad IBS symptoms (bloat, belly ache, passing mucous) just disappeared 90%. Perhaps the gluten free diet or eliminating nightshades and dairy early on? While nothing dramatic happened with my skin in the early weeks almost all itching went away and while their was no 'clearing' of psoriasis plaques they become much flatter, no longer 'angry' and raw or prone to unprovoked bleeding.I've now been following the advice for several months. It's a little disappointing I've seen little complete clearing but at least the plaques are flat, pinkish rather than red, with with just a powder of dry skin that's easy to moisturise. But it's enough of a difference to make continuing the program well worth it. Maybe after another few months more complete clearing may take place. I'm certainly moving in the right direction.In the Summer I can usually clear my plaques 90% if I can do a bit of sunbathing for a few days and expose my arms and legs with short sleeves. So this year I'm hoping by Radiant diet can keep the plaques away for longer (they usually gradually come straight back without sun exposure).'Four stars' because this isn't a quick fix but a long journey to better health. But I'm grateful for no longer experiencing IBS and for having a much more manageable skin condition. I'll update this review with further progress if and when.

We are genuinely a health family and felt a bit of a fraud buying this book because some of the people featured and also on instragram really have suffered healthwise. We have flare ups but nothing in comparison. So why did I choose this book, I needed a bit more understanding of what's going into my body and I followed Hanna on instagram so was intrigued by the idea, plus 95% of ingredients from the recipes are available in your everyday supermarket and most are actually part of my shopping already. Eased ourselves into the change of eating as we had the book a while and tried a few different meals, treats etc. Now Day 5 into the 28 day plan. Daughter / Husband and myself trying this. Book easy to read with clear instructions which has made this a manageable change plus it's a good reference guide for instance the alkaline vs. acid chart. Book, recipes and the fact that my skin is clearer than ever plus an added bonus that I've lost over 8lb without exercise, my water content has improved and my fat content has declined all very much a plus! I'm hopeful that I have a positive cholesterol count at the next healthcheck too.

This book full of amazing information. It's strict for the 1st 3 days and after its alot easier. The meals are vegetarian however i did add chicken and beef to some of my meals. Once your skin alot better you can try and eat other foods and see what tiggers you have. It took me about 3 weeks before i finally started seeing results but i messaged the author through instagram because after a week i thought it was getting worse and she was so supportive and explain sometimes it happens its the virus leaving the body (i have guatte psoriasis from tonsillitis) 3 weeks later the 1st spots that appeared are starting to fade and are no long red the new spots are still red but smaller then last time i had a flare up but i know if i carry on they will fade too. A few years before i had a flare up it took 6 months of failed creams before i could be referred for UVB treatment (which did clear it) but this diet is miles better as there no need to travel to the hospital 3 times a week and most of the ingredients can be bought cheaply from aldi esp the coconut oil which is used for basically everything. I can not thank the author of this book enough for sharing this.

Absolutely amazing, I brought this book in the last ditch attempt to improve my facial eczema. I was sceptical as I have tried so many lotions and potions etc and nothing helped it. Within 1 week I noticed improvements, it was really tough at the beginning but 3 weeks into its totally changed my life, I don’t crave anything now, my skin has improve MASSIVELY and my digestion is the best it’s ever been. Hanna also answers any questions or concerns on her insta, if you have skin troubles I would recommend this over everything. Well worth the buy!! She’s a genius. Thankyou!!!
