Today, we’re going to look at some of the causes of arthritis, the worst foods for arthritis, and foods that can improve your symptoms!

The chondrocyte is a cell that makes up your cartilage. Arthritis is often related to stress that originates in the endoplasmic reticulum of these cells. Surprisingly, this cell has receptors for bile salts!

There are two types of bile: one made by the liver and secondary bile produced by your microbes. This secondary type of bile acts as a potent anti-inflammatory in the joints, protecting them and reducing inflammation.

TUDCA is a specialized bile salt that can reduce stress in the endoplasmic reticulum and can be incredibly beneficial for arthritis and joint pain. Vitamin K2 prevents calcium from building up in the soft tissue. A deficiency can lead to calcification in the joints and arteries, as well as the formation of osteophytes.

Whether you have rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, vitamin D is one of the most effective anti-inflammatory agents. It is also incredibly beneficial for addressing autoimmune conditions.

Joint pain and arthritis are often triggered by the following:
•Food allergies
•AGEs (sugar and protein byproduct)
•Infection
•Seed oils
•Microbiome problem

Here are 7 foods to avoid with arthritis and joint pain:
1. Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80)
2. Low-fat soy protein powder
3. Refined seed oil (Aldehydes)
4. Alcohol (Purines from beer)
5. Casein A1 Protein
6. Modern wheat (Gluten content, glyphosate, amylopectin A, WGA)
7. High fructose corn syrup

The following foods can help reduce joint pain and inflammation and reduce the symptoms of arthritis:
1. Fermented foods
2. Healthy fats (Olive oil, avocado oil, fish oils, grass-fed animal fats)
3. High vitamin D3 foods and omega-3 fats
4. Sulfur-rich foods (Onions, garlic, cruciferous vegetables)
5. Collagen (Bone broth)

High amounts of iron can contribute to arthritis, so it’s best to keep your intake low. Try TUDCA to support the endoplasmic reticulum in your cells and reduce joint pain.

All my bones are stiffed nd a feel numness in my feet fingers.. Pls sujest supliments for me.. My d3 is only 16..l tried a lot bt it not recouping pls help me..

  2. Dr. BERG, You seems to be slowly teaching what Ayurveda has been saying for 5000 years ago. Ancient Science of India

    What you eat, you become
    Artrithis is curable with FOOD, increased with food, only knowledge one needs is which food to eat

  3. Oh wow@! Okay so if someone, like me, had their gallbladder removed and is no longer producing bile, is likely to be affected sooner and potentially worse. Got diagnosed with OA when I was only 50. Now at 59, I'm Having such incredible thumb pain… From OA in the joints. Sooo… take bile salts, tudca, k2, … did shilajit help at all?

  4. Question on iron… I just found out my iron is low. My ferritin was 9 in my recent lab work. i’ve been told to take iron supplements now. I also have bio markers that point toward RA and I’m in the process of learning more about that. I do not have an official diagnosis of RA yet. What do I do if I’m low iron and have to take iron supplements?

  5. I am a 72 YO retired with cured Hashimoto's thyroid (I eat clean and exercise). I have been taking Glucosamine for the last 6 or 7 years and it has helped with sciatic nerve pain (desk job for 35+ years). Currently taking Boswellia Serrata for arthritis in my hands and it has totally taken that pain away. I recently watched one of the videos for Collagen Peptides and am wondering if it would be a better joint supplement for someone my age. I am retired and very active now and don't want to take too many supplements. Thoughts or suggestions?

  6. Oh yeah
    Wanted to ask
    Re: Iron
    So how much should be taken, I've been taking supplements because groceries & restaurants have just boarded the $$crazy train (California)
    So… any suggestions regarding that challenge?
    Thx for your ever appreciated help.

  7. Can I just ask or place a request?
    I write down all your info which you've jotted out for us but it's hard to see at times pausing this ancient device causes a continuous reload drama… lol so keep it at a pace so I don't think I'm slower than molasses
    Thank You kindly❣

  8. Lots of good information, but I watched it and thought, well what am I supposed to eat? Fish, with kale, garlic and sauerkraut all the time. It feels like there is a problem with most food at the grocery store.

  9. Living in the UK it is an interesting fact that almost all our meat, milk, butter & cheese is produced from grass-fed animals that receive no hormone injections or antibiotics. Furthermore, most eggs/chicken is free range and is not chlorine washed. A new law is coming into force to ban caged birds and penned pigs outright.

  10. "Absolute gold mine of information! 🌟 I never knew the link between ER stress and joint pain until now. Your explanation of how TUDCA and Vitamin D3 work together is a total game-changer for anyone with arthritis. Thank you for simplifying such complex biology into actionable advice! 🦴✨ Dr. Berg, you're the best! 🙌🔥"

  11. For less joint pain avoid: 1. emulsifiers (polysorbate 80) 2. low fat soy protein (need taurine and hexane-stop bile) 3. refined seed oil (Aldehydes from heat) 4. alcohol (Purines) 5. Casein A1 milk (sodium or calcium caseinate powder) 6. modern wheat- WGA, Amylpectin A, Glyphosate, Gluten (ancient grains better) 7. High Fructose Corn Syrup. Eat foods that will help your joints. 1. eat fermented foods (these will help you make secondary bio-salts that are good for your joints) 2. healthy fats (animal fats grass fed) 3. high Vitamin D and Omega 3 foods 4. sulfur foods 5. collagen. TUDCA can help because it helps reduce ER stress. Keep iron low. Thanks for all this great information Dr. Eric Berg!
