A short talk by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter advocating an anti-inflammatory diet as a therapeutic adjunct for pain management. He reports clinical observations that many patients experience roughly 30% pain reduction within two weeks after starting the diet and frames dietary change as a way to ‘optimize’ other treatments, though he notes sustainability can be challenging for many Americans.
Food is medicine. It truly is.
I have patients. When we start our process, we start them on an anti inflammatory diet. I have many patients whose pain gets 30% better within two weeks just from starting the diet. Now, is that necessarily sustainable? For most Americans, it can be really difficult, but it really optimizes our treatments. And so if we're coming in with a clean slate and then we're going to use your body's ability to heal to do just that, it just makes everything a lot better.
