If you have arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis or another inflammatory condition, you will work with a local family physician and likely a local rheumatologist. Because a big part of managing an inflammatory condition is your diet, you may benefit from working with a local registered dietitian. A local registered dietitian is a wellness provider who is trained in nutritional science and health. A local registered dietitian can help patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or psoriatic arthritis eat an anti-inflammatory diet. By working with a local registered dietitian and eating a diet rich in foods such as leafy greens, whole grains and fruits, people with arthritis or other inflammatory conditions can reduce inflammation and joint pain. A local registered dietitian can help you lose weight, plan meals, understand the glycemic index, eat for exercise or sport and more. If you’d like to learn more about how a local registered dietitian can help you with an anti-inflammatory diet, start by talking to your local family physician. A local registered dietitian can also work with your other healthcare providers, whether it’s a local cardiologist or local psychiatrist.
