Science Overview
An introduction of some science topics involved in healing arthritis naturally
Pathogenesis
Pathogenesis is the origin and development of disease – In this case Inflammation driven Arthritis and back pain.
If we know the root causes, we can do something about it!
The current explanation for the development of inflammatory arthritis is that it is caused by a combination of genetics, microbiome changes, environmental triggers, immune dysregulation, and barrier dysfunction. The good news is, we can influence all of that in a positive way – when you know how!
Environmental
Knowledge regarding environmental factors offers you a large degree of control over your health.
Think of a plant. Under the wrong environmental conditions it can become diseased and suffer an early death.
However, with the correct environmental conditions, the plant can thrive and live a long and healthy life.
The expression of genes, the balance of the microbiome, immune system function and oral and gut barrier integrity, are all heavily influenced by environmental factors such as diet, dietary triggers, gut health, toxin exposure, infections, physical activity, stress and sleep.
This means that, although genetic risk factors may be inherited, many of the underlying drivers of inflammatory diseases can be highly modified through lifestyle and environmental choices.
Epigenetics
Epigenetics is the study of how gene expression is influenced by environmental and lifestyle factors. Rather than changing the genes themselves, epigenetics determines whether genes are switched on or off, and to what extent. This explains why people with the same genetic risk can have very different outcomes. Our genes set the potential, but epigenetics shows that this potential is not fixed – gene expression can shift over time, making some people more resilient and others more susceptible to chronic conditions.
While genes like HLA-B27 and HLA-DR4 are linked to conditions like ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis, most people with these genes never develop the disease. Genes increase risk but don’t guarantee illness. Environmental and lifestyle factors play a major role – not only in triggering these conditions but also in calming them. By improving things like diet, gut health, nutrient balance, stress, exercise and sleep, it’s possible to reduce inflammation and, in many verified cases, put the disease into remission.
Knowns
We know diet, gut health, physical activity, infections, toxin exposure, medications, social interactions, stress and sleep, effects inflammation, pain, disease expression, disease development, quality of life and life expectancy.
We all want to live a long happy pain free life.
We know change can be a difficult hurdle. Marketing and peer pressure can lead to very unhealthy habits.
We know thousands of people have reduced or eliminated their pain by addressing these environmental factors.
I will tell you how.
We know changing habits can be challenging.
We know pain is a great motivator.
I will give you the most compete information I can, and make reducing your pain as simple and straight forward as possible. I hope you develop the will power needed for a healthy life.
