E.179 Living with Arthritis and How to Manage Symptoms with Emily Johnson
Description
In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by Emily Johnson — best-selling author of two cookbooks focused on living and thriving with arthritis.
Emily first experienced arthritis symptoms at just four years old and was officially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at twenty. Since then, she’s completely transformed her diet and lifestyle to focus on anti-inflammatory living — a change that not only improved her own health but has inspired thousands through her social media and bestselling books.
When she was first diagnosed, Emily felt isolated and ashamed, having never heard of anyone her age going through something similar. But through sharing her story, she’s built an incredible community and a safe space for others navigating the same challenges.
In this episode, we talk about how diet, lifestyle shifts, and stress management can make a huge difference in how you feel — and how small, mindful changes can have a powerful impact on managing arthritis symptoms.
In this episode we discuss:
- Emily's Arthritis diagnosis
- What triggers her and the lifestyle choices that make a difference
- What living with Arthritis looks like
- Techniques and practices Emily uses to manage her symptoms
- Dietary choices
- Giving up alcohol
- Other wellness practices that make a difference
- The one thing that made a huge difference
