A short spoken segment from a YouTube video "Healing From Within" (by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter) arguing that lifestyle factors — sleep, diet, medications, and activity level — significantly contribute to inflammation and arthritic pain, and that addressing these factors can be as effective as steroid injections, which may be more harmful than previously thought.
It's the lifestyle that we lead. It's how much sleep are we getting at night. It's what's the food that we're eating. The inflammation that comes from the arthritic pain or the injury isn't always just age. It isn't just genetics. It's the lifestyle that we lead. It's how much sleep are we getting at night. It's what's the food that we're eating, what's our medication list that we're doing right. And all of those things, what's our activity level. All of those things together we're seeing in the research supports that fixing each of those little things can be just as effective as that quick little steroid shot that we now know is much worse for the patients than we thought.
