Episode description
Story at-a-glance
- Osteoarthritis develops slowly from cartilage breakdown in weight-bearing joints, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune attack that causes rapid, symmetrical joint inflammation
- Morning stiffness lasting over an hour, fatigue, and fever indicate rheumatoid arthritis; brief stiffness that improves with movement suggests osteoarthritis instead
- Rheumatoid arthritis typically strikes small joints symmetrically (both wrists, hands) while osteoarthritis affects single joints like knees, hips, and spine asymmetrically
- Eliminating inflammatory vegetable oils, boosting vitamin K2 intake and sipping bone broth help rebuild cartilage and reduce joint inflammation naturally
- Supporting mitochondrial health calms autoimmune inflammation by increasing your body's natural "off switch" for inflammatory responses and joint damage
