Pain and stiffness in your joints can be dramatically improved by eliminating certain foods in your diet which cause inflammation. Most of us don't realize that simple things like gluten (found in all wheat products), sugar, soy, some nuts and high fructose corn syrup cause inflammation in the joints.

Please schedule a 30-minute appointment with the nutritionist to get a customized meal plan including a customized list of foods you should be consuming and those you should avoid. Here are some basic guidelines:
