Living With Arthritis: Silver Linings

It can upend your life, cause unrelenting pain, keep you from doing what you love and even change your plans for your life. But surprisingly, many people say it also has positive effects. In this episode, three people who have lived with autoimmune arthritis for years share the silver linings they have found — how their arthritis has shaped their outlooks, and how their lives have been better for it.

Customer Reviews
Great Content
Excited to hear the latest about arthritis research.
CBD
Excellent information on the use of CBD in managing arthritis pain. Since being diagnosed with osteoarthritis over 12 years ago I have used several CBD products and have found the ones that used hemp were not as effective as those from cannabis. Those with a very small amount of THC worked even better. Friends of mine who tried multiple products had similar results. As an arthritis survivor going on 5 years with no joint pain and greatly increased joint mobility I look forward to future episodes where my experiences might help others.
Eating inflammatory foods = Inflammation in the body
Telling people they should eat whole grains and healthy fats like “vegetable oil”. Both have been scientifically proven to increase inflammation in the body. As for episode 3, you have misguided so many. Biased info, no better than a fraud scientist.
Stay away from processed foods & sugars. Eat a nutrient rich diet with healthy fats like avocado oil, avocados, nuts & seeds, low sugar organic fruits, organic vegetables and organic, pasture raised, grass fed eggs, chicken and meat and please eat organ meats.
Be your own advocate and do your do diligence when it comes to research and the science. Lots of biased information. Educate yourself on what types of studies like epidemiology, controlled, survey, etc. and who has funded the study. They are not the same.
