I understand your thinking on the role of lifestyle and diet on psoriasis as you can only take it from your own experience. So I'll just give a perspective of someone who suffered 58 years before finally getting a long term clearance
Now I'm guessing that I'm much older than you and live in England and was born not long after the end of ww2. It was a time of much hardship for my parents and we had very little. But we had no processed foods all we had was fresh and mainly home grown. I grew up with an active lifestyle and never realised I was living in poverty as there was always food on the table. I was in the same boat as the other kids in the neighbourhood so didn't know what stress was. At 15 I left school and started work.. At 17 I developed psoriasis and never saw it coming.
What I'm trying to say is in my case it wasn't brought on by eating junk food (that wasn't invented then) it wasn't caused by stress although after it spread over my body I did get stresses and spent the next 45 years fighting the disease with every "cure" I could afford. I have always eaten reasonably healthily and been active.
In all my years of trying to get clear by cutting foods out I found it didn't make a scrap of difference
Then I was fortunate enough to get my current tablets that have kept me clear for nearly 10 years.
I hope changing your lifestyle works for you and you can manage to get clear with natural methods. I do believe trying to stay positive is helpful in the control of psoriasis. I wish you Good and luck and look forward to reading more of your thoughts
