If you’re living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and recently experienced a flare, you may be asking yourself: “Was it something I ate?” This episode breaks down the science behind diet and rheumatoid arthritis flares, so you can move forward without guilt and with a clear, practical plan.

In this evidence-based discussion, learn how certain foods may increase inflammation, worsen joint pain, and contribute to RA flare-ups. Backed by current medical literature, this episode also explores controversial diet topics like gluten, dairy, plant-based eating, and red meat, helping you separate facts from internet myths.

Key Takeaways

1. Sugar-sweetened beverages can spike blood sugar, increase insulin resistance, and worsen inflammation linked to rheumatoid arthritis flares.
2. Ultra-processed foods high in trans fats, saturated fats, and sodium may intensify joint inflammation and flare symptoms.
3. Excess red and processed meat, especially when cooked at high heat, can promote inflammatory compounds in the body.
4. A plant-predominant diet with anti-inflammatory foods like fatty fish and whole plants may help support RA symptom control.
5. Gluten and dairy affect people differently, so a short elimination trial can help determine personal triggers.
