  I HAD Rheumatoid arthritis in 2013. I took medications for 5 years. I couldn't even carry my lunch bag or cross the traffic light fast enough to finish on time. I was 28 years old at that time. It felt like my body was 80 years old. However, I decided to make major lifestyle changes with anti inflammatory food, exercise, sleep and reducing stress. Adding Omega 3 was the best decision of my life 😊. Now, I am 40 years young and feeling like a teenager. I have blood investigation every year and my Rheumatoid specialist is amazed by my results. Definitely,"Food is medicine ❤"

  I was almost bed bound 4 years ago. I changed my diet, started improving my gut health, started eating wholefoods and fermented foods.. within a month I was off the lidocaine patches, in 3 months I was on no painkillers. It's been a life changer. I haven't taken a painkiller in 4 years... I assume there is still damage because it was pretty bad, but I'm not affected by it in anything like the same way. It's such a simple change..

  What an amazing guest thank you! I was diagnosed with lupus and mixed connective tissue disease. I decided to try a plant-based diet and within 6 months my inflammation markers were reduced in half! In 6 months I was off of hydroxychloroquine and in one year all of my steroids. My lupus is in remission🎉<br>Not only did this change my health but it led me to study health and wellness coaching, and plant-based nutrition science focusing on plant-based cooking!<br>I&apos;m teaching my first public class at the Vegan Center in Philly April 27th!

  I simply removed added sugar from my diet. All pain is gone in a month. I eat lots of meat and it doesn&apos;t affect my joints at all. For me it was simply sugar.

  After following ZOE and avoiding UPF foods and choosing whole foods, high fibre, no sugar foods, I’ve come off all my medications and not had a flare up for a long while. I’m nearly 71 years old.

  I love Dr. Tamiko&apos;s use of the term &apos;insulting&apos; to describe the relationship of these substances marketed as food to our body.

  Tamiko&apos;s interview was completely wonderful and it&apos;s also wonderful that even as a rheumatologist she is so excited about the outcome of this study

  Over 40 years ago, the old Bristol Cancer Centre was using a combination of plant foods and macrobiotics, including things like miso and grains, to support patients. &nbsp;They had a lot of success, though at the time they were called dangerous quacks. &nbsp;Now what they advocated is now becoming mainstream- plant based and fermented foods and fibre.
