Ever feel like your joint pain is brushed off as “just getting older” — yet the swelling, stiffness, and fatigue keep getting worse? 😔

In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Dr. Colin Renaud, DC, DNM, MS, PA-C, FAAMFM, ABAAHP discusses one of the most misunderstood chronic conditions today: arthritis.

From rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis to ankylosing spondylitis and chronic joint inflammation… what if arthritis isn’t simply wear and tear — but a deeper immune and inflammatory imbalance? 🔥

💡 Discover how gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, chronic infections, mold exposure, unresolved trauma, and environmental toxins can fuel autoimmune activity and drive joint degeneration.

You’ll learn:

✔️ The difference between mechanical and inflammatory arthritis

✔️ Why autoimmune arthritis is more than a joint condition

✔️ How leaky gut and food triggers contribute to chronic inflammation

✔️ Why women are disproportionately affected by autoimmune disease

✔️ The Med Matrix functional medicine approach to calming inflammation and restoring mobility

If you’ve been managing pain without understanding the root cause, this episode will help you see arthritis through a whole-body lens — and why true healing requires addressing the immune system, gut, and inflammatory drivers at the source.
