In this episode, we review the link between Joint Inflammation, Stress, and Weight, exploring how excess weight can impact rheumatologic conditions.

I'm joined today by Dr. Isabelle Amigues, a physician and rheumatologist based in Denver, Colorado. Dr. Amigues trained in both Paris and at Columbia University in New York City. She's also the host of the Unabridged MD podcast and is an accomplished researcher, authoring multiple book chapters and scientific articles, as well as being a sought-after speaker.

Dr. Amigues and I also discussed how medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists and metformin can help manage inflammation, especially in patients with obesity dealing with rheumatic conditions.

Lastly, we touched on the interconnectedness of our physical and mental well-being. Dr. Amigues shared her personal story of battling stage 4 cancer and the impact of stress reduction techniques on healing both the mind and body.
