Very active, but achy joints and stiffness

[Anonymous]

We take 2 SPMs from Metagenics everyday. Its a form of very concentrated fish oil I think. My concierge doctor recommended them to DH and me. I can really tell when I do not take them. You can buy them on Amazon.

Eat more walnuts

This is great advice overall, they are the healthiest nut and everyone who isn't allergic should eat an ounce of walnuts daily.

But when it comes to joint pain in midlife women, it's typically associated with waning estrogen and the best way to treat it assuming you are ideal weight range (if not, losing weight will help) is to really work on your diet so that it is as anti-inflammatory as possible. Ditch the refined and added sugars - really, really ditch them. Cut back on saturated animal fats and any ultra processed foods with emulsifiers and other additives. Focus hard on getting the RDA of fiber from food, not fiber supplements - fiber in food works better in the gut to create short chain fatty acids.

Consider engaging in more low impact activity like swimming if it's an option. Hydrate to keep the joints lubricated. Use heat and cold therapy to address especially achy joints.

This. Lost 30 lbs and the joint pain went away….

Make sure you are doing at least five minutes of dynamic warmup before a workout and at least 5-10 mins of stretching after. Made a huge difference for me. If I skip my warmup I will literally be limping a couple of hours later when my joints freeze up.

Well timed post. I just rolled out of bed with my achy joints and thought ‘this is age gentle yoga was created for.’

Dp- I’ve been counting calories since July 8. I’m down 11 pounds and my hips and knees feel so much better.

Weight loss significantly helps stress on joints. Get there any way you can.
