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.

This podcast on CBD was excellent! Love the depth and honesty of the conversation along with solid application for how CBD products could be used as an additive treatment option. Also loved the hosts - they were personable and had an authentically that made me believe they genuinely cared about the topic. Look forward to the next podcast. Well done.

Rebecca and Julie are passionate, well informed and articulate patients who also work for the Arthritis Foundation. They are providing a great service to patients with arthritis and providers interested in “hot topics” in arthritis care. The CBD episode is super helpful in untangling a confusing topic. Can’t wait to hear more episodes!

The episode on trendy diets has some misleading information. The doctor they interview slams many diets and even goes so far as to call Keto a pro-inflammatory diet without looking at the nuances. I’m not overweight, but I went Paleo originally and then Keto due to my Ankylosing Spondylitis, and on Keto I was in complete remission. My blood glucose, cholesterol, and all other levels in bloodwork are extremely healthy. Despite my chronic illness, on labs, I look healthier than anyone else in my family.
Certain types of inflammatory arthritis are linked with bacterial dysbiosis, and excessive carbohydrate intake exacerbates that issue by feeding pathogenic bacteria that can cause cross reactivity with your immune system. Gluten and refined sugars are highly inflammatory in nature (even without feeding bad bacteria) and cutting back will reduce your inflammation, not increase it. Done appropriately, you can still obtain plenty of nutrition (vitamins, minerals, fiber) from a ketogenic or paleo diet because you can still eat plenty of high fiber veggies. Done poorly (think mountains of bacon on keto), and yes, it can be bad. As always, a diet change should be run by your doctor and monitored. The information presented in that episode did nothing but lambast diets that have helped thousands with inflammatory arthritis.
