    Thanks, great interview. This chap has many similarities to me. Same age, same job, same disease, same solution. The difference being that when I decided to go vegetarian, I continued to eat the ultra processed junk food, rather going fully whole plants. It took me longer to get my RA under control, but I am now managing my symptoms without the aid of pharmaceuticals. The takeaway is to go fully whole plants if you're going to start this lifestyle. Stay away from processed junk. As he said, 'eat plants and move more '.

    After adopting a plant based diet, I could finally eat healthy carbs without any blood sugar issues. I am, by far, the healthiest I've ever been. I have no metabolic disorders. I'm approaching my 70s and am on no medications. My mind is clear, and I have energy to burn....most days.

      Agree, I used to think I could never eat rice or potatoes when I was doing the horrible keto diet because my weight blew up if I ate a carb. Now that I’m plant based I can enjoy the rice and potatoes with my veggies and I feel fantastic. ❤

    I can completely endorse Paul's experience. I too was diagnosed with RA in April 22 and put on anti inflammatory meds and by December 22 the Consultant was counselling me in readiness to start immune suppressant drugs. I had been researching diet and nutrition and started to greatly reduced refined carbohydrates and sugars, cut out red meat and increase home cooked plant based food in my diet. I am now off all medication for my RA! I do have occasional minor flare ups. I can usually attribute them to falling off the wagon and eating sweet things or emotional stress,. I can hardly believe the benefit the change of diet has made to me! I would urge anyone else in a similar situation to consider making these types of changes, after all, what have you got to lose? :)

    Cravings also have to do with your microbiome. Try it, have some sugary food for a few days and see how you feel the next couple of days afterwards, you'll definitely crave something sugary. However, you are right, if you go 'cold-turkey' and switch over everything and remove all the garbage, those cravings go away pretty quick as there isn't a microbiome trying to control you to eat them anymore. I find those that only switch out some meals, but still indulge in processed/animal products still get cravings for those foods constantly as they're still feeding that microbiome.
    My roommate was always wondering why I never ate anything sweet anymore and I told him I never feel cravings, but I eat a lot of fruit to 'indulge' myself. Like dates, I add them to my oatmeal(among other fruits of course), put them on bread with peanut butter or even just with a little peanut butter inside them for that sweet-tooth fix. Not that I actually feel the need, but it sure does taste great and is good for ya! I've even tried sweet stuff, like Oreos to see how they tasted, immediately thought it was a bad idea because it didn't taste the same as it used to and would much rather of had something else instead.

I will definitely watch this again a few times and identify the points of change and put into practice and enjoy the process too because because I love my Indian spices and the plant base food we eat.

    Thank you for this inspring clip. I do think i am in the early stage of RA or gout also and I am transitioning to a more plant base diet.
    I notice everytime i eat plant base days in a row, my pain disappears. My problem comes when I try to eat plant proteins like beans ang legumes because I feel pain right afterwards.
    Plant base w/o beans and legumes has solve my joint issue but i notice my muscle on my legs is shrinking.
    I am now experimenting on myself ways to eat plant base but stuff more protein in (since i have not tried all kinds of beans and legumes yet.
    Any wisdom on this challege?

      This is a food borne disease. Also check out Clint Paddison's Ted talk, and his program for reversing autoimmune arthritises such as RA, ankylosing spondylitis etc. His program is called the Paddison Program. You can reverse this! Stress is only one small component. He uses whole plant foods, and strongly recommends eliminating oils, especially in the beginning. He has tons of interviews of people who have overcome RA and similar diseases. Best wishes on your return to health.

      Hello, I'm sorry you're struggling. Def move to a plant-based diet, but also maybe consider some psychological aspect to your well-being? I recommend Gabor Maté's book 'When The Body Says No; the cost of hidden stress'. Good luck to you.
