Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

Osteoarthritis vs. Rheumatoid Arthritis - AI Podcast

17 Jul 2025

Description

Story at-a-glance Osteoarthritis develops slowly from cartilage breakdown in weight-bearing joints, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune attack that causes rapid, symmetrical joint inflammation Morning stiffness lasting over an hour, fatigue, and fever indicate rheumatoid arthritis; brief stiffness that improves with movement suggests osteoarthritis instead Rheumatoid arthritis typically strikes small joints symmetrically (both wrists, hands) while osteoarthritis affects single joints like knees, hips, and spine asymmetrically Eliminating inflammatory vegetable oils, boosting vitamin K2 intake and sipping bone broth help rebuild cartilage and reduce joint inflammation naturally Supporting mitochondrial health calms autoimmune inflammation by increasing your body's natural "off switch" for inflammatory responses and joint damage
