Inflammation is supposed to start and stop with a clear purpose: heal, then move on.
But in RA, it doesn’t stop.

👉 It thickens joint fluid
👉 It irritates nerve endings
👉 It breaks down cartilage
👉 It even rewires how your brain senses pain

That’s why so many with RA experience joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, and sometimes even overlapping conditions like fibromyalgia.
This isn’t “just joint pain,” this is your immune system going into overdrive.
The good news? You can help bring it back into balance.

What my RA patients taught me about healing from the inside out '

Here’s what my RA patients taught me that no textbook tells you:
1️⃣ Healing isn’t linear — some days feel worse before they get better.
2️⃣ Tiny daily wins — like choosing an anti-inflammatory snack or taking 10 mindful breaths — add up.
3️⃣ Listening to your body is just as important as medication.
RA isn’t just a disease you treat — it’s a body you learn to understand.

Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) can be challenging, but adopting the right diet can make a world of difference! 🥗✨ Here are some key dietary tips that have helped many of my patients manage their symptoms effectively:
Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Incorporate plenty of anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, berries, nuts, and fatty fish into your diet. These foods can help reduce inflammation and pain.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil, flaxseeds, and chia seeds, omega-3s are powerful anti-inflammatories that can help ease joint stiffness and swelling.
Whole Grains: Opt for whole grains such as quinoa, brown rice, and oats. These are high in fiber and can help reduce inflammation.
Limit Processed Foods: Reduce the intake of processed foods, refined sugars, and saturated fats. These can increase inflammation and worsen RA symptoms.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential to maintain joint health and overall well-being.
Adopting a diet rich in these foods can significantly improve your quality of life with RA. Remember, it's all about making small, sustainable changes for long-term health. 🌱

Everyday Things That Can Trigger AMPS Flare-Ups
What is AMPS?
AMPS (Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome) is a condition in which a child’s nervous system amplifies normal pain signals, making ordinary movement or minor injuries feel intensely painful.
In simpler terms:
🔹 The body’s “pain alarm system” is turned up too high, so even small bumps, everyday activities, or stress can trigger significant pain.
🔹 It’s not “all in their head” — the pain is real, but the nervous system is overreacting.
🔹 Pain may move from one area to another or seem disproportionate to the activity or injury, and children may avoid favorite activities.
Everyday triggers that can worsen AMPS:
🔸 Stress or anxiety – school pressures, social challenges, or changes in routine
🔸 Overexertion – too much physical activity at once
🔸 Lack of sleep or irregular sleep patterns – fatigue can worsen pain perception
🔸 Environmental factors – cold, damp, or rainy weather
🔸 Illness or minor injuries – even small bumps can trigger a disproportionate pain response
✨ Why it matters:
✨ AMPS is a condition where the nervous system amplifies pain, so triggers that affect stress, fatigue, or activity can worsen symptoms
✨ Tracking patterns and triggers helps doctors tailor strategies for pain management and activity planning
💡 Tip for parents:
📝 Keep a daily log of pain, activities, sleep, and mood
🏃‍♀️ Encourage gentle, guided movement even during flare-ups
📞 Work with your pediatrician or rheumatologist to adjust therapy or routines if triggers are identified
💾 Save this post to share with another parent.

As an integrative medicine physician in Texas, I’m often asked about natural ways to manage rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The truth is, we can’t rely on just one medication or one supplement. Supplements play an ACCESSORY role to disease management.
Here are some supplements that have helped me on my personal journey.
Fish Oil 🐟
-Why it helps: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It also supports heart health.
Probiotics 🦠
-Why it helps: A healthy gut is key to a strong immune system. Probiotics balance gut bacteria, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion. Incorporating probiotics into my diet has significantly enhanced my gut health and overall well-being.
Multivitamin (MVI) 💊
-Why it helps: A high-quality multivitamin ensures I get essential nutrients that support immune function, bone health, and energy levels. Regular use of a comprehensive multivitamin has helped me maintain optimal health and manage RA more effectively.
These supplements, along with my medications, a balanced diet and regular exercise have been vital in my journey to manage RA. Remember, always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

Did you know not all inflammation is bad? ✨

When you get a cut or an infection, your immune system jumps into action—redness, swelling, pain—it’s your body’s way of protecting and healing you.

But here’s the problem: in autoimmune conditions like RA, this process doesn’t shut off. Instead of helping, inflammation lingers, confuses the immune system, and turns into the very thing that harms your joints, cartilage, and energy.

The key? Learning how to recognize and manage too much inflammation before it leads to long-term damage. 💡

When you live with RA, it’s easy to think: If food can’t replace my meds, why bother?
Here’s why:

👉 RA doesn’t just affect your joints — it impacts your heart, lungs, bones, metabolism, and even mental health.
👉 The right diet lowers inflammation, supports your whole body, and protects you from long-term complications.
👉 Food is one of the few tools you can use every single day to care for yourself — on your plate, in your control.

It’s not about “either/or.” It’s about using every tool available to feel your best and prevent future problems.

If you’re ready to take the confusion out of diet and learn how to truly eat to ease RA, comment RA below. I’ll send you the link to my special $99 course today.
