ZOE Science & Nutrition · Recap: How to lower your risk of arthritis | Dr Tamiko Katsumoto · 10 Feb 2026 podcast

No, it's a great one.

I think that it's either immune attack that can lead to the disruption of this nice synovial barrier that can lead to arthritis.

My patients end up getting very swollen, tender, red, hot, painful, stiff joints.

Other ways that this can happen are through damaged responses.

So one thing that a lot of people may have heard about is a condition called gout.

And that would be a crystal.

There's a crystal called uric acid, which is a byproduct of a lot of cellular metabolism.

And those uric acid crystals can end up building up in our joints.

And that can end up triggering this inflammatory response as well.

I think it's complex and multifactorial.

Simply speaking, I will say we know a lot of our dietary components like sugar, a lot of these saturated fat, processed foods, drives inflammation in various ways.

I think one of the primary ways is through how it affects our gut microbiome.

I think that we end up assaulting our important gut barrier with loading it with all this sugar and fat and these emulsifiers and food colors and other processed things that are really insulting the gut barrier.

And that...

is leading to this systemic inflammation.

And so by simply improving our diet, improving our gut health, decreasing the dysbiosis that we experience, I think that that is leading to these improvements in our joints.

You know, I like the kind of my plate.

This is sort of the approach where you take a plate and you divide it up and really half of it is fruits, vegetables, you know, good stuff.

The whole concept of eating the rainbow I think really is apropos because these are foods that are high in phytochemicals, a lot of the antioxidants that are super important for calming down our immune system.

cruciferous vegetables.
