I was diagnosed with RA 13 years ago, with my rheumatologist telling me that I have a rather severe form. Fortunately, I have been stable the vast majority of the time. My doctor never discussed nutrition with me. In the last approximately 18 months, I have focused on anti-inflammatory foods. The only lab marker of inflammation that he checked was sedimentation rate 3-4 times a year. It kept rising although I was doing well. Apparently, this is normal as we age. Nevertheless, after I started focusing on anti-inflammatory foods, my sed rate went from 35 to 20 in 4 months, and to 9 four months later. When it went to 20, I informed him of my diet change. He said "maybe" the diet contributed. I just had a CRP done, and the result was at the low end of average risk. I know I feel a lot better overall.
I was diagnosed with RA in 2016. A few months later, visited a naturalpath doc who diagnosed me with a severe wheat allergy. I went on keto shortly afterwards. Inflammation disappeared. Lost weight..4 sizes down. I am confident the wheat issue was a driver behind the RA diagnosis. My father had gluten ataxia (brain deterioration) seemingly, this genetic marker followed me. I’m doing great now.
This diet works for me. I have had arthritis. I was taking an anti-inflammatory med, Meloxicam. My last Dr suggested I reduce my carbohydrates. I will have a new Dr this year, as that Dr moved to Florida. I have watched 40 or 50 videos on diets. I have been thinking the extreme diets are not the best. The Mediterranean diet With the low carbs works great for me. I now eat a 3 egg omelet in the morning with mushrooms and garlic. My lunch is a smoothie made with blueberries and strawberries. In the smoothie is half a teaspoon of each turmeric/ginger/cinnamon, also a piece of banana, and a large tablespoon of apple sauce. I do add an ounce or two of coconut milk. The smoothie is only about 10 oz. A can of sardines and a teaspoon of fiber completes lunch. Diner is a salad with beets and a whole avocado, and an egg with tuna and mayo. I eat no bread. I know it works because I have had this diet for over a year. When my inti inflammatory drug ran out, I did not have the joint and whole body soreness. Now, I only take a low dose statin and low dose aspirin. 73 years young, lol.
Three years ago, after a month of typing (I had a big assignment as a translator), at the age of 69, I suddenly developed arthritis, which was accompanied by severe pain. I was treated with the medicines that were available at the time, including Medrol. It helped a little, but there were still days when I couldn't walk or I even couldn't remove the tab from a new tube of toothpaste. About two years ago, the Flemish-Dutch lab Galapagos launched a drug with filgotinib as an active ingredient. It was marketed by the Irish company Gilead under the brand name Jyseleca. I was previously given it as a guinea pig. And my arthritis was gone and still is, although my doctor switched to half a dose (100 mg). I do exercises with weights again, just like before. I do not know what the situation has been in the meantime, but the US competent authority did not approve the medicine because it could have an impact on fertility. Glad I live in Belgium. I am now 72 and I assume that most people who have arthritis are of a certain age. Decreased fertility: I couldn't care less.
Very true, had been bothered by knee pain,been to Orthopedic Doctor, had 2 different injection on the affected knee but to no help even my X ray reveals that i am one of the candidate of knee surgery,, i did loss my weight and the pain disappeared..So to those who have knee problems .....loss weighr :)
Lower carb diets can be anti inflammatory. Especially if they focus on lots if leafy greens, betries, fermented foods plus wholefood fotms of fats such as fish, nuts, seeds, avocados, olives. Plenty of protein from lean sources - mainly plant
Thanks for your comment. Hopefully you can figure out the cause of your knee pain! Unfortunately I cannot give medical advice over the internet. Please seek the advice of your trusted health care provider. Best of luck!
@@JeffreyPengMD that I did long ago, but they meant Rheumatoid arthritis and proposed prednisolon , but I always try more holistic approaches inspired from new research in life style and health. And changing my diet toward a 90% low fat whole food diet has done that I can walk, cycle and dance ( except deep squats 🙃) - and even jog without having too much trouble - and I love moving in nature 🎶🍀🎵💚🐸
Please refer to specific types of arthritis. I am only interested in information specific to osteoarthritis and cannot tell if what you are saying applies to osteoarthritis or only to rheumatoid arthritis. Thank you.
I lost a lot of weight after the death of my husband I also got myself a dog as a walking companion 18 month is later the pain in my spine and knees is very bad but as I have a dog it means going out with him twice a day it used to be three time but the pain and the fact that I feels so lopsided and twisted is horrific 😢
Hi Jeffrey I just started following you. I had issues with inflammation and pain since I became around 30 years old and I never really knew the connection between Pain and inflammation. This all happen after new years of this year. I started cutting back on Breads, crackers, Cookies, cake and all sweets. I guess it's sort of a keto diet and a notice a definite decrease in pain. I do a mild workout routine around my shoulder a back operations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. c];-)
Not everyone wants/needs to lose weight and it’s painful to age fast due to lack of collagen. Please suggest some foods that reduce inflammation yet provide good quantity of collagen and calories so I can at least keep my weight while reducing inflammation. Thanks
Very good information, I hope younger generations watch these videos too! All these problems start when young people become adults after leaving high schools, legal age to buy alcohol, tobacco, driving and partying, they call it fun!!! 😂 🎉 🍺 🥃 unfortunately they are brainwashed to believe happiness( fun) comes only with alcohol, drugs and parting! 😢
Please Dr. I have a question. I suffered vein collapse and resulted in tendons and ligaments damage. I am undergoing PRP and it is progressing well. I have a challenge with my right knee as it is swollen and producing fluid. I have fluid extraction twice within a three week interval. What is causing the fluid in the knee? What's the remedy to stop the fluid accumulating? How does protein diet affect my condition?
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I cannot give medical advice over the internet. Please seek the advice of your trusted health care provider. Best of luck!
Dr. Peng, what is your opinion of culturally-expanded stem cell treatments? I know they're not legal in the US, but do you think they have the potential to be more effective than normal stem injections for arthritis?
@@JeffreyPengMD 100% accurate. And as well, no matter how clean is the diet, even if not filled with fast and processed foods, if it is non GMO and unorganic, not only won't help, but would be harmful to the health. It is basically the breeding womb to systemic diseases and aiming at taking down the telomeres, hence, speeding up the death process and making it most likely painful.
You don't need to eat polluted fish to get your omega 3 because fish themselves don't make it, they get it from the algae they ingest so you can eat algae too or flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, avocado or greens like broccoli or take a vegan supplement. This should have been made clearer in the video. Olive oil and other oils are the most fattening foods on the planet, why eat them at all, they'll only make you fat, it's easy to get used to cooking/eating without oil, just google sautee without oil and you'll see how easy it is
The carnivore diet can help some people feel good. One of it's main benefits may not necessarily be the meat, rather, the elimination of processed foods and high amounts of carbohydrates. However, the carnivore diet omits a lot of the phytochemicals, antioxidants, and fiber obtained from other food sources which have tremendous health benefits.
a person would need like12 chicken livers every day just to get the bare minimum of vit C. Plus holy colon cancer, batman. If fiber is making you sick you might have SIBO, which can and should be treated.
I was suffering with early stage arthritis with painful knees, elbows, wrists and hips which was preventing me from doing physical work. I researched my symptoms and experimented with going on a Keto low carb diet, eliminating vegetable and seed oils and eventually progressed to a carnivore diet dropping all carbs. Four years on all my inflammation and pains have disappeared, lost weight and lowered blood pressure. I can now walk and work as normal again.
Arthritic hip here. I have been on this type of “anti inflammatory” diet for the past few years and the pain was only getting worse. I reached the bottom and had to do something. I got rid of lectins rich foods (beans, legumes, tomatoes, etc), added home made rich beef bone broth, added more meat and fat. I Reduced carbs intake to 80g per day. The inflammation is gone, I’m almost pain free. Some fruit increase the inflammatory response due to sugar spikes. Grains are no fun either.
@@door1771 the simplest way of eating. Meat, fish, seafood, eggs, plenty of olive oil, fermented foods for micro biome health, veggies like asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, beets, greens like arugula, collard greens etc. the most important: sugar OUT, flour OUT, grains OUT, beans and some nuts like peanuts and almonds OUT, highly processed crap out (including cereal, pancakes, waffles etc). Anything that has a package and you can’t pronounce the ingredients OUT. your body and mind will thank you for it in 2-5 days. It’s that fast!
@PaulinaMansz Thank You for sharing your eating plan. I'm so glad you're feeling better. Do you eat other nuts, like walnuts, etc? Do you eat dairy? I have RA and love cheese, yogurt and cottage cheese.
It's not about eating 'good' foods - it's about not eating bad foods. RA is an autoimmune disease - your immune system is reacting to certain specific food/drink items. You just need to find out what those substances are (could be dairy, sugars, grains, onions, food additive, eggs, nuts, etc.). Just try the AIP (Auto-Immune Protocol) diet - first you only eat known non-inflammatory foods - then, if it appears to be doing you some good (after 2-8 weeks), step 2 is to slowly introduce the other excluded foods. Think about it - did you get a really bad RA flare up one morning because you didn't eat a salad the day before - or is it more likely that you got the flare up because you ate/drank something that triggered an immune response which then attacked your own joint tissues? That's why some diets are better than others and why the results are so variable - it's what you don't eat whilst following that diet that matters.
Yes Dr Peng I lost 80 pound's over last 14 months. And yes I've noticed a greatly reduced amount of pain in my knees, hips and low back. REALLY enjoy your expertise!
i'm a huge meat eater as to why i developed psoriatic arthritis. so i ditched sugar, dairies, nightshades and meats. my pain reduced for like 50%. and i lost 70 lbs along with fasting. i only eat fruits and veggies. this is very true
These are nice thoughts but if you don't talk about getting non pesticide foods which also cause inflammation and non-GMO foods, you've missed the mark
Thank you Dr. Peng. I am a gastric bypass patient who had the surgery in 2006 but I did not lose all the weight I should have and now I have slipped into bad habits and no exercise. So arthiritis has been painful again. this will help me get back on track. Thanks so much.
Great video. What would you suggest / recommend in the case of someone’s arthritis in their their knees have gotten to the point of bone in bone? Thank you.
I have weird swelling and heat in both my knees, and sometimes it moves to by elbow and even in my fingers. I wouldn't describe it as "pain" but more like a lot of pressure. I am not sure what it is but have been trying to eat clean for the last week and honestly feels like its getting worse
For knee pain I mix 1 teaspoon of apple cedar vinegar once a day. Until cured Interval 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda . The boiled sayote for drink and eat the flesh. Effective
Good information! I started limiting my daily calories to 1,600 about 10 years ago & lost 132 lbs. I’m 75 & have no doubt I’d be in wheelchair by now if I hadn’t done that. I follow a fairly anti inflammatory diet but can see from what you presented that I can do better.
I weigh 100lbs and am 5’2” tall. I don’t have any weight to loose, and yes at 64 I have arthritis in my hands which have just showed up in the last 3 months 😢
I notice you are including night vegtables , like tomatoes and peppers, could you please explain how these veg's might effect arthritis, as my understanding is that these veg's cause additional pain. Thanks grammajan
Don’t you think the increase incidence of joint replacement after weight loss surgery is due to more ease of movement? Like the patients may actually be more active and walking whereas previous sedentary? Or maybe surgeons may be approving surgery only after the patients are at a weight that their joints can handle? My aunt was denied a second knee replacement because her doctor said she was too heavy.
This is a myth. Running and physical activity is NOT associated with worse arthritis, quite the opposite, physical activity is protective against worsening arthritis. ruclips.net/video/MxlQgDF4h4o/видео.html
@@JeffreyPengMD Yes but if someone is going from little movement to a lot and they already have the damage to the point that they need joint replacement they are going to feel it more and at that point exercise is not going to help.
@@Ladyloubug9 Of course, take it slow. But just because you are bone on bone, does NOT mean it has to hurt when you walk. I have many patients with grade 4 osteoarthritis walking 5000+ steps per day. Exercise therapy including cardio and strengthening + PRP injections can help get people there.
I’m overweight not obese but have had one knee replacement at 60, have been a swimmer doing laps up to a mile 3-4 times a week for 45 years. Now at 72 my shoulders are bone on bone. Tried the cortisone shots twice but saw that the meds are destroying other healthy cartilage. On the route for loosing weight 20 pounds at least but it doesn’t sound like my shoulders will ever be back to swimming again. My father who was never overweight in his life had double knee replacement and spine arthritis. He was always busy on our mini farm so why did he get it. He had high blood pressure and died from an aortic aneurysm. The research stated is puzzling in our cases.
the description says it (the diet) only reduces symptoms. What about the actual progression of the destruction of the bones and cartilage, or recovering cartilage?
I'm from UK, and I eat too many processed foods (for convenience), and too many sweet cakes etc. Most people I know (working class) have a similar diet.

It could be gout, get your Uric acid levels checked.
Sounds more like gout....
Good information! I started limiting my daily calories to 1,600 about 10 years ago & lost 132 lbs. I’m 75 & have no doubt I’d be in wheelchair by now if I hadn’t done that. I follow a fairly anti inflammatory diet but can see from what you presented that I can do better.
Wow, congratulations. Thanks for commenting
Wonderful !♡
Main problem is over weight
I weigh 100lbs and am 5’2” tall. I don’t have any weight to loose, and yes at 64 I have arthritis in my hands which have just showed up in the last 3 months 😢
The same here
I notice you are including night vegtables , like tomatoes and peppers, could you please explain how these veg's might effect arthritis, as my understanding is that these veg's cause additional pain. Thanks grammajan
mediterranean diet is good. but avoid nightshade such as tomatoes/potatoes/egg-plants
My problem is arthritis but I'm under weight not a big eater I can't afford to lose any more.
My same case , and I hate how skinny / boney I look 😤 look really sick this has depress me more than the pain
Lion diet fixes this, no need to watch.
Don’t you think the increase incidence of joint replacement after weight loss surgery is due to more ease of movement? Like the patients may actually be more active and walking whereas previous sedentary? Or maybe surgeons may be approving surgery only after the patients are at a weight that their joints can handle? My aunt was denied a second knee replacement because her doctor said she was too heavy.
This is a myth. Running and physical activity is NOT associated with worse arthritis, quite the opposite, physical activity is protective against worsening arthritis. ruclips.net/video/MxlQgDF4h4o/видео.html
@@JeffreyPengMD Yes but if someone is going from little movement to a lot and they already have the damage to the point that they need joint replacement they are going to feel it more and at that point exercise is not going to help.
@@Ladyloubug9 Of course, take it slow. But just because you are bone on bone, does NOT mean it has to hurt when you walk. I have many patients with grade 4 osteoarthritis walking 5000+ steps per day. Exercise therapy including cardio and strengthening + PRP injections can help get people there.
What are these prp injections
I’m surprise with this video . Doctors in America say for not eating tomatoes . Is so confused.
Don’t eat too much..just enough..you can eat anything but not too much..👍🏽
I started drinking pineapple juice and found it controlled arthritis pain. what's that about?
Really🎉
Pineapple has a lot of vitamin c, but at the same time a lot of sugar 😮. Sounds confusing 😮
I’m overweight not obese but have had one knee replacement at 60, have been a swimmer doing laps up to a mile 3-4 times a week for 45 years. Now at 72 my shoulders are bone on bone. Tried the cortisone shots twice but saw that the meds are destroying other healthy cartilage. On the route for loosing weight 20 pounds at least but it doesn’t sound like my shoulders will ever be back to swimming again. My father who was never overweight in his life had double knee replacement and spine arthritis. He was always busy on our mini farm so why did he get it. He had high blood pressure and died from an aortic aneurysm. The research stated is puzzling in our cases.
Was he using herbicides/pesticides on his farm ?
It’s not mainly the weight, it’s the lowered insulin levels that directly leads to lower inflammation.
That and much much more!
Agreed you can’t lose weight until you reverse your insulin resistance
NSAID drugs deteriorate joint cartilage..
@@Momtocam1997 Non sequitur
@@Hornet135 just making a comment on other reasons of joint inflammation…
the description says it (the diet) only reduces symptoms. What about the actual progression of the destruction of the bones and cartilage, or recovering cartilage?
I left out wheat and that really helped , I have IBD wheat is very bad . I only have fish , vegetables and fruit now with tea
Thanks , Dr!
Interesting infi.
But, kinf if voring , sunce it is so monotone!!!!!
Is pressure cooked chicken with out skin ok to eat when you have arthritis?
It’s ok white meat..and red meat 🥩..
I THOUGHT NIGHT SHADE VEGGIES IS NOT A ANTI INFLAMMATORY FOOD
Tomato and potato makes my fingers hurt. And I love them both! However, I am in less pain when I don’t eat them.
Yes I agree is low insulin level to reduce inflamation
Is there still a "typical western diet"? Most people i know are educated...or have educated themselves...about food quality and health. ✌🇨🇦
I'm from UK, and I eat too many processed foods (for convenience), and too many sweet cakes etc. Most people I know (working class) have a similar diet.
What are the anti inflammatory foods.
I am skinny, still have pains
Can anyone here who have Fibromyalgia???
