Why Traditional Treatments Fall Short
The "Just Aging" Dismissal
Too often, doctors dismiss joint pain as inevitable aging, offering little beyond basic pain management. This oversimplified explanation ignores the complex metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory processes that can be addressed.
Symptom-Only Approach
Conventional medicine typically treats the pain rather than investigating why your body is creating inflammation in the first place. This band-aid approach may provide temporary relief but allows the underlying problems to worsen over time.
Medication Dependency
Pain medications often create a cycle of diminishing returns—requiring higher doses while damaging your gut lining and liver function, potentially worsening the very inflammation causing your pain.
Meet Karen Bettison
Joint pain isn't just about aging. It's about inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and gut health working together. Many suffer silently, believing discomfort is inevitable. They modify activities rather than address root causes. The truth? Your body has remarkable healing potential when given the right support.
