“I honestly harp on so many different people that just simply cutting out sugar or maybe cutting out alcohol, or you know doing some of those things can be really helpful and can change pain significantly, but I also think it’s kind of frustrating that food is never really talked about like in doctor’s offices and things, and that’s usually the first point of contact for somebody that’s having pain.” 12:26
