The Confident Clinician Podcast

Weight loss or Diet Quality? What makes the biggest difference for osteoarthritis?


Listen Later

This month's clinical podcast focus on studies looking at the impact of dietary patterns on the pain in arthritis. It's difficult to separate the research on weight loss (which is the dominant standpoint currently) and diet quality (executed through the Med diet) in any topic and arthritis is no different. 

We also talked about why the integrative medicine space makes mistakes applying the theories of biological plausibility to arthritis, and why the research on lectins, the keto diet and nightshades are either non existent or not a useful way of supporting patients.
