I am happy to have found this! I was diagnosed in Sept of this year. So much to learn to keep it under control. Thank you!

Clint, I can't  express to you the super positive encouragement I have experienced listening to you speak about your story.  Words fail me.  Thank YOU.

Just diagnosed last week, your commentary and info delivery method is fantastic, very useful for people like me!!!
God bless you always, warm wishes, thanks

Thank you Clint  for some great insight.

This is a great video! I have been looking for some good information on Rheumatoid Arthritis for some time. My dear sweet wife suffers from this and I look forward to spending several more happy years with her. This kind of information is a great addition to medical attention! We are both near 80!

Thank you for making this video. You are going to help so many more people with this information. I am going to start the resistance exercises today!

I have benefitted a lot from an anti inflammatory diet and exercise aged 67, thanks for your help!

Thank you for your sharing & very helpful info!!!  Quick summary of the 6 mistakes (more context details shared in the video for each item are great!):
1) Taking high dose of NSAIDs with false belief this is all that needs to be done
2) Not starting early on Methotextrate (or another long-term RA management drugs)
3) Not moving an inflamed joint
4) Not using, early on, resistance training as a must-do modality for exercise
5) Not getting, early on,  a cortisone shot
6) Getting complacent (& falling back on old diet habits, lifestyles, etc)

Clint, Im 73, I've been plant based for 52 years. I've been through heavy duty stress with the sudden loss of my son, my husband and now my sister.  One crisis after another.  I was just diagnosed last week with PMR. I've been prescribed Prednisone. But I want to do your RA program instead. What are your thoughts on this? I'm deciding between doing a week of the Pred to drop my CRP (18) level or just starting right into the two day fast and going from there on your program. My concern is that doing a fast right after being on Pred might not be good.... I'm so thankful for your program because I was told that I'd need to be on steroids for a year or two and that's not anything I'm willing to do.

I am wondering how to continue with resistance when I can't bend my knee properly & when I do it feels like it's going to snap 🤦🏻‍♀️

So thankful for your info on this awful and confusing disease! ❤

These are great tips, I just got my blood test done and I am zero positive, I thought my symptoms were from perimenopause as I am in my mid forties, and well here I am waiting to get an appointment with a Rheumatologist (I had my referral done by my gp) but I started to investigate about anti inflammatory foods, life style etc. Luckily, I am very active, I do reformer pilates (resistan training basically) spinning, walking etc, I have cut sugars, red meat, fried food, alcohol, I am eating raw and pretty much I don't eat out anymore (giving up sweets and red meat has been a challenge to be honest), i am on and off anti flammatory drugs, but after watching this video, I will go with turmeric and ginger tonic that actually it seems that works, having this in the morning an evening and it is helping me to deal with inflammation. Other thing that I have being doing is talking about this with my circle, I found there are some acquittances of mine that have been dealing with this since their teens, so I am hopeful that my journey will be smooth. Thank you for sharing your experience, I was really scared when I saw my blood test results a month ago, the more information I get from people that has this eases my anxiety.

I have RA and I have followed you for years. It was yourself who made me change my diet and taught me so much. Thank you❤

Man this was the perfect message for me to hear today!

ty so much for being here!!!! Very informative. Worst advice I ever got was post surgical right breast cancer and to not move my right arm!!! He is a great surgeon, however, post op follow-up was awful. We all have our strong points aye!!!! My best advocate was a physical therapist who was very intuitive and knew her craft!!!! body weight movements, rebounding, dry brushing, lymph massage, massage, WFPB diet oh and  restorative yoga, meditation, and deep breathing are crucial to life!!!!

I’m 37 I just got diagnosed today, I needed your words of wisdom, thank you.

Got my Rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis on monday may 6th  after a month of sore elbows, rotator cuff and groin muscle stiffness and then waking up with both hands in agony. I have a 6 week wait until i can see a Rheumatologist.
So far ive gone from ibuprofen to celecoxib and found no difference other than ibuprofen doesn't  make me as drowsy.
Ive cut my cigarette smoking down over 50%, with intent to quit very soon (hard to do when stressed).
Ive got fish oil, vitamin d and c, glucosamine + condroitin, curcumin, magnesium and zinc supplements.
First thing i do when i wake is drink a glass of water with a pinch of salt, then have a mug of green tea with a teaspoon of collagen bone broth and olive oil mixed in (3 birds, one stone), then a stretch routine for about 10 minutes before eating a small high fibre breakfast, usually an apple and oatmeal cereal. Then i take my supplements.
I'm new to this disease and am praying i can put it into remission.
Thanks for the vid!

I want to get muscle again, but when I try , I can't sleep due to the pain is so bad so I am not sure what to do.

I was diagnosed with RA in 2018 at age 73. It was in the mtp joints in both feet. They were so infected they were squishy when squeezed. I was given Plaquenil 400 mg. After about 6 weeks the joints had healed up. I had 4 yrs with no symptoms. In 2022 I developed pain in my left hip. Added leflunomide 10 mg 5 days a week in addition to the Plaquenil The hip joint healed up quickly. I had no symptoms until the spring of 2024 when I had joints in hand start hurting  as well as some joints in my feet Was given leflunomide 20 mg every day. It has put it back total remission.

Iv been recently diagnosed and I’m glad i found you.Your knowledge is helping me mentally atm and I will take your advice!.Thanks mate!!!🙏🏻
