Episode 107: Managing Weight for Arthritis

Losing weight is one of the best therapies for people with arthritis — especially for those who are overweight. Consider that 1 pound lost is equivalent to 4 pounds less pressure on knees, ankles and other weight-bearing joints. But losing weight isn’t easy. In this episode, we’re joined by a guest who has firsthand experience with arthritis and weight loss challenges and a fitness and osteoarthritis researcher who will discuss their tips for losing weight as well as some current OA research.
