I wish i could too,since i was just diagnosed with RA.This dr wants me to take awful meds that could hurt my retina and hurt my rhythm.I have afib and also having cataract surgery soon and these meds would be extremely dangerous to take and i cannot understand this drs thinking.Iam going to go all natural,plus, iam going to go to a dietitian. I wish i could go to this dr.
I wish I could be followed by someone like you. I was just diagnosed with Lupus, and I am always scared. My joints hurt, I am often tired, am on polypharmacy, dealing with new meds and horrible side effects, with very poor healthcare. I do not have a rheumatologist to help me, just an internist, and he openly tells me that he does not know about medication interactions, and just prescribes general medications for Lupus. I am left with worrying over the medications and not even knowing what to do when I flare. Good thing people like you make UA-cam videos to help us...
Such a lovely sensitive approach. Severe sleep apnea lead to carb loading to try to keep going which led to type 2 diabetes plus I have Ankylosing Spondylosis , Hashimoto's and possibly Psoriatic Arthritis. I spend 4 years on severe carb restriction and intermittent fasting and just could not loose weight. Doctors were so dismissive and condescending and my life was miserable. I lost all enjoyment from food and the social connection that goes with it. Finally just had to give up. It feels so horrible to have failed so badly. Your sensitivity helps to heal this wound. Thank you.❤
I have AS and sleep apnea as well and have put on about 14 kg in the last 2 years. I hate condescending doctors, I 've had to fight just to get a diagnosis because I had no X-Ray results that showed something. People don't understand the pain and the struggle a lot of times, because they have nothing to compare it with (or sometimes they just lack empathy). For me it helps to just go about it one day at a time, there are good and bad days and there are days I do eat healthy and days I don't but I think it helps (at least it's helping me) to just look at tomorrow every day. Wish you the best, it's not easy I know.
I informed my rheumatologist on the last visit that I'm going carnivore. He was pretty open-minded about it and sounded very curious about following along. He's pretty open-minded for a doctor, though. He's got my bloodwork records going back nearly 20 years for comparison!
Very Informative! Thank you for your knowledge!! I have been seeing a Rheumatologist for 4 years.She has never discussed diet for my condition. Its always about trying the next pharmaceutical drug. I have done my own research about anti inflammatory foods and vitamins. I feel so much better now!
I have Autoimmune Hashimoto's and I am eating the AIP Autoimmune Protocol. I am also on a thyroid hormones and the supplements my blood labs suggest. My Hashi antibodies are down to just 42 and my condition is stabilize.
Don't forget pineapple 🍍 it has an enzyme called bromelyn which is anti-inflammatory, pineapple was all I wanted to eat for about 2 years when I got ill.
You have a night shade tomatoes, can we eat night shade vegetables. I guess I’ll try them,I don’t know about others with RA but for me the wrong food sends battery acid right into my hands and wrist. For me dairy, breads, meats make me beg For prednisone.
I have arthritis and gave up eating the nightshade family (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers) years ago and what a relief. I can occasionally have one of these without causing pain but definitely severely restrict them. I also can't eat prawns or asparagus, 2 of my favourite foods because I get gout like symptoms where my feet really hurt. This is due to the fact that they are high in purines and cause high levels of uric acid in the blood. I'm also lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant but still manage to enjoy plenty of food. I cook for myself, never buy processed food (have you seen the ingredients? If I can't pronounce it, I won't eat it). Yes, I do still occasionally eat rubbish, then suffer, but that soon puts me back on track! I'm 68 now and no pain and no meds. Arthritis started in my late 40's and I suffered for a few years. Then my body started giving up, doctors couldn't find what was wrong with me and thankfully I found a natural therapist who correctly diagnosed me. She put me on the road to recovery, mostly by explaining about the effects of our diet. Within a week I knew that I was getting better but It took many years to get back to "normal". Thank you doctor for producing this video, you're a star 😊 Good luck everyone, all the way from England x
Doctors receive very little training, if any, in med school on diet. So I appreciate you covering this. I would like to see more videos on natural therapies for Sjogrens, including skin care. 😊
I wish I could find a a doctor like you. I feel completely unseen and unheard by my rheumatologist. 🥴
I changed docs because of that.

Good gosh. Your diagnoses sounds like mine. Don't lose faith or hope. I'm telling myself that also😂

I love pineapple, too, but haven't noticed any benefit regarding anti-inflammatory.
1hour after eating pineapple my knees hurt, so not for everyone
Thank you
I cannot get the info to come up to order your handbook-how can I get it-?

I appreciate your perspective, food has been on my mind all the time since having RA, it’s a bit overwhelming.
Carnivore all the way…….
