If you stop eating any processed food, you won't have to worry about labels. 99% of salad dressings are unfit to eat. Make your own.
This is very true, I’ll be the first to admit that there are some processed foods that I just really like:)
I quit all dairy, and 2 weeks later could actually use my hands again. 7 years now. 💪🏼
That’s great!!
That’s awesome! Dairy can definitely be a problem for people.
@@drkristieennis Yes. Oddly enough, processed corn products also trigger severe inflammation. I avoid that as well. 🙂
Lowell Calavera I have certainly seen that in patients as well:)
I quit dairy products about 7 years ago, and my sinus issues all but went away. Prior they were always stuffed up. In addition, I didn't get sick again for nearly 2 years after quitting the dairy. Typically I would have 2 colds a year on the average. I get sick a lot less now!
Sent this to my mom who is dealing with an abdominal tumor and accompanying neuropathy. Thank you!
Hi Dr Kristie. Thanks for sharing all this great info that will enable me and many others to reduce our pain and thus improve our quality of life. I am living with RA for 27years. And you are correct. Diet has a huge impact on the management of pain. I always learn something new from each of your videos. You are very knowledgeable.
Thank you so much! Well done on working to control the health factors that you are able to:)
Thank you so much, great content! I will give these things a shot for my fibromyalgia symptoms. 😊
You’re welcome:) let me know how it goes!
Hobie1100 how did it go? I suffer from fibromyalgia n arthritis, I'm in so much agony at the moment n running out of options to try.
Thanks
I had fibromyalgia since age 9. Recently gave up all caffeine (weaned off slowly). It has made a HUGE difference. I still have some pain but nowhere near as much. Next I will be concentrating on cutting out what little processed foods I eat. HTH. 🕊

I used to eat like this and was always sick or in pain. Two years of 100% carnivore (meat, fish, eggs, butter) and all conditions including arthritis and pre-diabetes are gone. Off all meds and zero inflammation where I used to be burning up.
I'm just wondering if you also include any cheese?
Great results by the way.
but red meat is inflammatory 🤷🏽♂️
@@suelloyd4384 I do now. For the first few years I couldn't tolerate it well.
@@tjgrafiks Except that it isn't for 99.9% of humans. In fact it is the LEAST inflammatory food that has anywhere near the level of bioavailable nutrition that it has. Unfortunately, the dieticians and the medical-industrial complex are doing everything possible to demonize meat and prop up low-nutrition proce$$ed plant foods. It is up to each of us to educate ourselves and test what works for us, as the medical system is deeply corrupted.
I am here because 1. I appreciate what Dr Kirstie Enis is teaching us and 2. Because I am learning to manage the fibromyalgia flare ups.
I know how bad flare ups can be! I hope that they are getting better:)
Thanks Diet is really important for being healthy! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Hi Dr. Ennis, does chronic inflammation cause Phlebitis and venous inefficiency, i.e. varicose veins? If yes, will what you discussed in this video help with that condition?
GREAT SUBJECT!
Thanks,. Have a great day!
Thanks! You too 😊
Awesome info..thank u.
I think Drs. John McDougall, T. Colin Campbell, Joel Fuhrman and Michael Greger would agree with your diet recommendations. Whole foods, plant based will improve and prevent many chronic conditions. Your videos are very helpful.
Thank you!
Lovely lady! Thanks UA-cam algorithm.
Love your videos.
This is consistent with the eating advice I got to tame psoriasis after 18 months of traditional meds not helping, (but avoid nightshade family of plants -chillis (damn love em), tomatoes potatoes etc). Improvement after 2 or 3 weeks, "fixed" in 2 -3 months.
RogerThat, stopped drinking milk years ago because of psoriasis. Has helped tremendously! Recently stopped all sugar, breads, crackers, etc. Eat only meats, veggies and drink a gallon of water daily. I think will help even more.
Nightshades can be inflammatory.
Oh, I enjoy to hear competent advices from a healthy and very fit doctor! Do you also give tips for armrtrainings (bicep, tricep)?
Thank you! I have lots of exercise videos on here but I don’t think I have any specifically for biceps and triceps. I’ll work on that:)
@@drkristieennis Oh thank you also! And I would be very pleased when you will work on armtrainings!
Barnie Appletree hamstring coming up in 2-3 weeks!
@@drkristieennis Many thanks to you - I'll be present!
Barnie Appletree you’re welcome!
I would like to ask if there is food that helps on skin moisture, in winter my skin on the hands gets really dry and cracks near the nails and its really painful. Thank you for your time Doctor.
Water or high water content food.
Another awesome video.
I make wild mushroom tea from birch polypore mushrooms. I make it in a crock pot and add a few cloves and a cinnamon stick. Super delicious and super healthy.
One can also get a big delicious dose of vitamin C by making tea from pine needles.
And it's all free!!
That’s great!!
All great advice! I also have to avoid night shades (tomato, potato, peppers, eggplant, etc) as they actually cause pain & inflammation for me.
Thanks for sharing! I have certainly had patients that have effects from those as well.
A few years ago, I started experiencing really intense heartburn when starting my runs. It would usually go away after about 10-15 minutes of running. I started to dread running. One way around it was to do a short bike ride before the run. Quite by accident, I discovered that eating raw ginger root (say 1" by 1" chunk) prior to the run stopped the heartburn. What a relief! Prior, I'd had a few good experiences drinking Kombucha with Turmeric prior to the run. I thought it was the Turmeric but it turns out the Kombucha was ginger flavor. It was the ginger that was helping.
Thanks for sharing!
@@drkristieennis You're welcome & Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Greg Hinrichsen you’re welcome 😊
Try drinking diluted Apple Cider vinegar for an upset stomach
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I was able to drop my cholesterol by 41 points and avoided taking a statin by eliminating all dairy from my diet. I do allow myself to have half and half and sugar in my coffee, an occasional slice of cheese pizza, and macaroni and cheese around the holidays. Switched to almond milk for drinking and for use in high fiber cereals like Kashi. I try to avoid processed foods, ( we all slip at times- thanks for your balanced approach!), eat meat as an ingredient in meals, rather than the main portion, and increased my intake of fruits and vegetables including garlic, onions, ginger, avocados, cherries, blueberries, lentils, seeds and nuts. I also try to drink 2-3 quarts of liquids per day, in the form of water, unsweetened iced tea, or seltzer to avoid sugar, artificial sweeteners, or drinking my calories.
At 57, sticking with regular exercise for strength, tone, and flexibility has been the most difficult part for me. Your videos, with short, simple and targeted exercises have been so motivating! I went out and bought an exercise mat yesterday, and plan to follow your videos regularly. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to do this.
You are welcome!! Thank you for sharing what has worked for you! I hope I can continue to help 😊
I have a pint of organic whole milk vanilla yogurt every day I eat. I add in two or three tablespoons of ground flaxseeds, a handful of walnuts and a Brazil nut soaked for six hours. On even days I add in two tablespoons of cacao nibs.
I also add in spices and herbs. Today I added cayenne pepper, seven grams of turmeric, black pepper and ginger, sage and three grams of cinnamon.
Everything is organic in the yogurt.
There's no way you could eat that much cayenne pepper without the yogurt.
Excelente video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you ☺️
Great Information. I've learned something new today about inflammatory food. I've changed my diet and cut out lots of sugar. I used to take ibuprofen every day. Now I rarely have to use it unless my feet swell and hurt. Thanks for sharing...
You’re welcome! That’s so great that you have been able to get rid of the ibuprofen!
Can you recommend a good tart cherry vitamin?
I am gonna sign up for News Letter now , to
My protein powder (Both Chocolate and Vanilla)is sweet. It’s plant based (vegan), non GMO. Is this good??? Heard breads , crackers and pasta was not good . All inflammatory foods. Is this true ? Also , white rice . What’s left to eat ? I don’t eat beef or pork. Not a lot of chicken or fish . Very little turkey . Confused on what to eat
Read the label on your protein powder to see what the grams of sugar are and what type of sweetener is used. Do try to avoid white rice and white flour and aim for small portions of whole grains (brown rice, barley, quinoa, and others)
Nuts and other healthy fats are good to add (avoid saturated fats)
Hi, you mentioned vit E. Do u take an E supplement or just get in your food? If sup. How much?
Typically as a supplant, 400 iu. As vitamin E is fat soluble, it is a good idea to talk with your doctor before starting supplementation.
I have chronic lower back pain inflammation. Big time sweet tooth, meat eater and non vegetable eating person. Committed to changing all those bad habits now. How long after I change my bad life style can I expect results after changing those 3 things??
Good for you!! It can take some time for your body to feel better. Anywhere from a couple weeks to a month, typically.
I'd say 3 months.
how are u now
What about if your muscles hurt longer than 2 weeks is there a certain diet where it can help reduce muscle pain
2 weeks? You just need rest and clean diet.
What kind of mattress you recommend for fibromyalgia sufferers? I could not sleep on a hard one, then the soft could be bad for my back and neck. lately I get numbness and tingling in my arms and hands, including thumbs and two fingers next to it. Neck exercises, ice etc. give only very temporary relief.
Hi. I have fibromyalgia and have had surgery three times on my spine. I use memory foam mattresses. I’ve had tempur-pedic and Casper. I can’t lie on my back in anything but a memory foam. Best wishes.
@@KS-es5sn Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I like the sleep number mattress too.
Hi doctor Ennis
Could you upload cardio workouts for those who had spinal fusion? no jumping included.
I do plan to add low impact workouts in. I do have some band workouts on there already too.
@@drkristieennis I saw that there is workout using a band. But I don't have any of it...
Yes please! I just had my second back surgery and I need workouts for core and resistance band workouts
I need that too
Is quinoa and flax seed good to put in my smoothies ? Thank You
Yes! I typically use flax seeds or chia seeds but quinoa is a good addition too.
John Teachout, look up noatmeal. Very good!
These non-inflammatory foods tend to be lower in calories. What do you recommend for an athlete who requires a lot of calories per day which is difficult to get with clean foods?
Higher healthy fats.
Adding more nuts and seeds, as well as things like avocados and whole grains can help. Also, it’s ok to have treats if your body does ok with it:)
Try to aim for any lower nutrient dense food containing sugar around exercise.
For example, after a swim and run, I went to breakfast and had a veggie omelet, hashbrowns, and a blueberry muffin:) my rule of thumb is 80-90% clean. I can tell you I couldn’t give up cake:)
I race ultra and full marathons - won the hardest road marathon in the UK in 2020. I have only 10% fats, healthy or otherwise. For cal intake I smash down the banana smoothies and various other fruits and veg for breakfast and lunch with an large plate of plant based food for evening meals. Supper kinda ends with something like a bowl of cereal with plant milks or or a bagel... I try not to eat sugar rich food around 2 hours before any exercise.
you might want to investigate your "blanket" statement that all saturated fats are bad, there have been a lot of studies and research that say otherwise. Great info on supplements!
Thanks!
What is your advice on muscle cramps. Cramps happen a lot when I am active but also when just getting out of bed in the morning.
Sorry to hear that! Calf cramps are typically caused by dehydration, overuse, or nerves. Certainly I have my patients try to make sure they are drinking enough fluid (sometimes with a magnesium supplement) as well as self massage and stretch:)
Have you ever heard or read any studies on Glutathione. I read where we start losing Glutathione from our body after we turn 20, which is the strongest antioxidant, I think, we have. What is the best way to get Glutathione back into our system?
Yes! It’s one of the things I take for my Lyme. You can find it in asparagus, avocados, and spinach but dietary sources are not absorbed well so supplements are a better option.
How much glutathione do u recommend? I see it in capsules and powder. Is one better? Hubby and I been fighting inflammation and want to try your options to see if helpful.
Kathy C I take 500 mg. I like anything from Douglas laboratories and pure encapsulations.
@@drkristieennis I also suffer from lyme and Co. infections, I found out that ketones help the body to produce more glutathione by stimulating the mitochondria.
Thank you itchy sister
I struggle with eating either too much or to less. Im good at the working out part. Just not sure how many calories I should take in to lose weight but stay strong
That is definitely a great question! Have you ever used an app, like my fitness pal to track it? This is a good step to know where you are starting from.
You eat too much carbs which is why you never got satisfied.
Hello, do you believe someone with rheumatoid osteoarthritis can heal their knees so walking causes no pain even if bone one bone. I am still working, God knows it’s difficult but stopping would mean I would never move again because of pain. Been dealing with spinal stenosis for some years now, I do with exercises find relieve for my sciatic, but it returns just like the knee pain, weight is another problem I know, doctor says losing 1 pound is 4 off knees, thanks for listening and for sharing.
I’m so sorry you are going through all this. I truly don’t know whether you can make your knees 100% but I do know you have the right attitude. I have always found that if something isn’t working, look for something else that might:) obviously you have the medical side with medication, injections, PRP and stem cell, and surgery, but also diet, exercise, acupuncture, reiki, laser, and countless other techniques and approaches.
@@drkristieennis thank you
Blk Rose you’re welcome:)
You start with cutting out sugar then you suggest frozen fruits which are loaded with sugars.. Great job Doc
Actually, berries have the least amount of sugar of any fruit.
Saturated fat like avocado, coconut oil and grass fed butter, tallow are not inflammatory. Meat, fatty fish, eggs and butter have helped me lose 35 pounds in 8 months. Reduced pain. Increased energy.
Avocado is one of the foods I recommend:) and actually, the majority of fat in an avocado is unsaturated.
I agree with the ‘mostly plants’ advice. Great video But..... Sea salt isn’t a superfood. Not even a better form of salt than ‘salt’ it’s just salt! (Maybe a few trace elements in there, but you have a ton of them in all your other foods) maybe consider editing that bit out?
Sorry about that! I was really just listing the ingredients:)
I suffer from chronic lyme disease with co. infections and I heard you also have lyme. Is there any advice that you can give me to help me with my infections?
I have found glutathione,
Ashwagandha, and chaga to be helpful from a supplement standpoint. The medication Antabuse made a huge difference in my life. Also, I use an infrared sauna most days and also get massage and dry needling too.
Do a search for CSA and Eleuthero tinctures and order some of that in addition to some form of Resveratrol supplement. The bacteria responsible for what we call Lyme disease consumes the collagen in our body. That's why the symptoms are transient and present differently as time goes on. Supplementing collagen and liposomal vitC will help speed its repair. Stephen Buhner has the best info on lyme and its coinfections that I've found. Run that gear, take Dr. Kristies advice on diet and be patient with your body. You can heal from it but recovery is a long road.
rhythmicwarrior thank you for sharing:)
Vitamin C in spinach only 36% in 100 grams. That's not the best source. Sauerkraut has 700% of Vitamin C in 100 grams. Parsley has 160% vitamin C. And dill has 100% vitamin C of daily value
Do you mind telling me what it could be, when I press or rub on the underside of both upper arms and on my leg muscles it is very sore and tender. I have this regardless of whether I exercise or not.
Have you been checked for Fibromyalgia or Lyme?
kristie ennis :; they say I don’t have lymes . I did have RMSF from a tick in 2015. The doctor just doesn’t know what it is. I eat pretty good, drink water mostly. My job is physical so after work I am unusually done for most of the day. I take lots of vitamins and few herbs. It’s just weird to be stiff and sore in my muscles, and having that soreness and tenderness when I rub many different areas even my stomach muscles.
I have had chiropractic, massage therapy. I do need to get back to those two things.
@@melindaturner3311 just a thought, if you consume large amounts of diet soda or coffee, it depletes magnesium. I've also read that intake of larger amounts of calcium, vitamin D or zinc can also decreases magnesium absorption. Low magnesium can contribute to muscle cramping and tenderness. I've personally cut back on dairy and grains and I find I have less muscle cramping, but I've increase my intake of nuts and healthy fats. Incorporating magnesium rich foods that don't cause inflammation has helped me. I always look at natural fixes first and go from there to see if it makes a positive change.
Restrictions in the fascia can cause tenderness and stiffness in those areas reguardless of exercise (or even being worse after excercise) it can be painful to have worked on too. I suffer with myofascial pain and I have tenderness in those exact areas. Best of luck to yoou!
Any execise to fix si joint dysfunction without surgery??
It certainly depends on what’s going on but I have found with my patients that glute, hip, and abdominal strength make a big difference as well as soft tissue work for the surrounding tissues.
Can you explain how Antabuse made a difference in your life?
The mechanism of action right now is certainly unknown, but my left sided neurological symptoms are gone:)
Built!

Will this help with trigeminal neuralgia?
That’s a tough one. I don’t know that it will.
@@drkristieennis I have a request. Could you perhaps record a video with diet and exercises for trigeminal neuralgia please?
interesting
Are you sure saturated fats cause inflammation???
Yes:) lots of studies out there but some debate as to why and how much.
Meat n eggs have no ingredients listed. So I eat that... ✌️
You got me there! Make sure to add some veggies in:)
What do u think of MSM powder? If agree, how much?
I like it! Right now, there is no optimal dose set. Studies range from 1500mg to 7 grams. I take 3 grams twice a day.

Is the sugar in Gatorade bad for the body ?? If you are a runner running 25 miles a week. 🏃♂️
I asked this same question of a world class runner Rod Dixon, who won the NY City Marathon in 1983. He avoids simple sugars even in sports drinks. I make my own sports drink with juice, (lemon fresh) salt, and clean water. Reverse Osmosis.
@@gregwh2000 what about the sugar in fruit ? Should that also be avoided ?
Good question. @@Enzo-tg8uo A friend of mine who is a type 2 diabetic advises he is allowed by his physician to eat fruit. But he isn't permitted to eat two fruit servings at once. "Health experts point out that the sugar in whole fruit is not associated with any adverse health effects, primarily because of how the fiber in the fruit slows down the body's absorption of the sugar." Lemons and Limes don't contain much sugar, only a gram or two per lemon or lime.
Garbage
Hey I have chronic inflammation in my stomach any suggestions?
Have you been tested for small intestinal bacteria overgrowth? That can certainly cause a lot of issues. Also, do you take a probiotic?
Fiona, What happens when you eat some raw ginger root? Made my heartburn problems disappear!
On the joys of living in the usa!
Kristie: You mention 4 types of fat: saturated, unsaturated, transfat, and one other I can't remember its name. But you didn't give examples of each.
For simplicity* please tell us which common fats are the healthy ones and which the unhealthy. Thank you.
*The best city to live in.
Typically, foods like nuts, fatty fish, and avocados, olive oil (mostly mono and polyunsaturated fat) tend to be the type of fat to aim for the most. Artificial Trans fats are definitely not so great in the body and lots of foods are eliminating them. Typically they are found in pre packaged baked goods and fried foods. Anything that says hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil also counts as trans fat.
This doesn't work with all chronic pain
Certainly there isn’t one thing that works for everyone but this can be helpful for a great many people:)
Is that a wedding band
Yup! Happily married for 16 years.
@@drkristieennis fantastic..I'm keeping hope alive. Love your channel!
Great video but I don't think this helps once you have severe osteoarthritis.
I actually do have patients that see improvement with dietary changes so it’s worthwhile trying:)
Are you kidding?
Saturated fat is not bad for you
I take Amanda Hemp Full Spectrum 2000 CBD oils and tart cherry juice capsules every day and that combo has massively helped any of my inflammation and sore joints issues.
Of course, as you stated, diet can make a massive improvement, also. My chiropractor is a big advocate for eating healthy to eliminate inflammation issues.
Fun Fact:
1 cup spinach + 9 egg whites = super yummy low-cal breakfast. Its even better now because didn’t know that spinach was so beneficial.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I will try the cherry juice capsules. I take everything but the kitchen sink right now.

Wait you need to drink (4 ounces of tart cherry juice a day ??? Lol. Doesn’t it also help with bowel movements.🎊😅
That it does!:) fortunately, they do make a concentrate:)
You lost me when you kept mentioning the evils of saturated fats, but only mentioned trans-fats in passing. Before you may have mentioned the "evils" of cholesterol, I left this video. I look forward to the day when your nutrition advice matches the great advice that you offer with stretching and exercise. I have faith that you'll get there one day. It's all good.
I did mention trans fat in the video because they are clearly not healthy as well:) you are better off eating unsaturated fats from an inflammatory stand point.
I notice that your continually scratching yourself ?
I love so so match the Doctor christi and I think she really have to be my wife at this life...❤❤❤
Why all her fidgeting. Too much caffeine?

New research shows saturated fat is actually good for you. But omega 6 unsaturated fats too much is bad for you, increase inflammations

Sugar is tough! Have you been able to get it out of your diet?
@@drkristieennis Thank you for the reply. No I can't get sugar out of my diet. It's a shame because I put in a lot of hard work training but fall short snacking on sugary foods. Night time is the worst time to indulge on what I shouldn't be eating. I can motivate myself to cycle distance but I find it hard to motivate myself to eat a good diet.

I am inflammation free because of the carnivore diet. Sorry.
Going keto has helped with ME/fibromyalgia pain and inflammation and have very low carbs, which is sugar, no added sugars and high healthy fats. So yeah, that debunks much of your theory. If you watch The Diet Doctor on YT, a cardiologist who interviews other doctors, specialists and researchers re keto and health benefits that may help.
I do agree with healthy fats and no added sugar. In the video, I do mention to watch saturated fat, which is the unhealthy fat.
Keto will kill your kidneys
Dr. Berry says you can live on meat alone. He is very good
The TV say to use Aspercream
Not to be picky because I really love your videos and information, but the word Tumeric is pronounced.
Tu mer ic not tu mare ic. No worries , I noticed a lot of people on UA-cam say it wrong. Cheers
Whoops! Thanks:)
Actually, it’s turmeric. Tur mer ic. You forgot the first r.
Both are wrong, the correct spelling is turmeric, the first “r” is not silent, the first syllable is accented.
Beware: The chocolate that she is promoting has a warning on the label for metal and lead 😡. Why would any health professional recommend this?
Some cocoa can be contaminated in the factory but often there are trace amounts. Many foods including rice, potatoes, greens, and others also have trace amounts. Just like anything else, don’t go overboard. And you can always contact the company if you have specific concerns.

Want less inflammation with diet- stop dairy foods. I think dairy is far far worse than any sugars
From a research perspective, sugar is the biggest culprit but certainly many people do have an issue with dairy.
I got rid of both. The impact of a non dairy diet was dramatic for me, I didn't get sick again for nearly 2 years! Eating sugar is like putting sand in your engine's crankcase.
Yes, very damaging.
