Anna has Arthritis
• 47 year old Army Gulf War Veteran
• Osteoarthritis (OA) – knees, hands
• Given oxycodone
–Hates how it makes her feel
– Struggles with fatigue
• Offered injections
• Comorbidities – HTN, obesity, GERD
• Art professor‐ requires standing
• Would like to know if there are things she can add to her diet for natural pain management
OA: Not‐so‐fun Facts
• OA: most common cause of disability among service members medically separated from active duty*
• By 2030, ¼ of Americans will have osteoarthritis **
• Complex – not just ‘wear and tear’– Physiological pathways go awry– Chondrocytes: irregular collagen network– Osteoblasts: Microfracture – callus – microfracture– Interleukins, cytokines in muscles, tendons, ligaments
• Options can seem limited– Pills– Procedures (surgery, injections)– PT

Nutrition and Pain
• Nutritional therapy common in systems of healing (Ayurveda, TCM)
• Less incentive to study food
• Connection of diet and pain is multifactorial
• As early as 1958, British Cohort Study showed effects
– Correlation of chronic widespread pain and poorest eating*
• Chronic pain changes how we perceive food too
– Fat less satiating
– Reduced satiety = more overeating
– Ventral striatum (rewards system) and prefrontal cortex changes – lower food pleasure
– Regardless of obesity
*Vandenkerkhof EG et al, Pain Res Manag, 2011;16(2):87-92. **Geha P et al, Pain 2014;155(4):712-22.
Mainstream Recognition
Cytokines (inflammatory signals)
• Responsible for multiple aspects of inflammatory process
–pain initiation and persistence
• Direct activation of nociceptive (pain pathway) neurons
–Contribute to nerve‐injury/inflammation‐induced central sensitization
• Can influence development of hyperalgesia/allodynia
• Can be directly affected by food
Eating for Whole HealthDay 2 Afternoon

Inflammatory Mediators as Pain Mediators
Commonly Measured in Research
• Prostaglandins– Sensitize peripheral nociceptors
• Leukotrienes: – Increase vascular permeability
• TNF-α– Activates NF-κΒ (proinflammatory signaling pathway) & apoptosis
– evokes spontaneous sensory electrical activity
• NF-κB– Binds to DNA to increase transcription of proinflammatory
cytokines
– final common pathway for activation of cytokine production
Inflammatory Mediators & Structural Modulation
• TNF-α: Elevated in RA and OA joints
• IL6: Increases osteoclast activity/bone studies
• PGE2: High levels impede collagen synthesis
• Nitric oxide: Regulator of response inflammatory mediator in joints
• Mechanical stress may precipitate release/activity of inflammatory mediators
Osteoarthritis: The Rotterdam Study
• N= 5600 people > 55; women> men• X-rays of the knee, hip, hand scored using the Kellgren score for
OA at T=0, T= 6.6, T=10 years • Intimal thickness (IMT) and carotid plaque
measured T=0
• IMT showed independent association with the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis
• Carotid plaque with distal interphalangeal (DIP) OA and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) osteoarthritis
• Take home: OA may be a reflection of overall inflammation

14 Ways to Eat Toward an AID
1. Keep non‐fish animal fats intake low
2. Eat more fish
3. Limit omega‐6 fats
4. Eat more omega‐3’s
5. Keep vegetable and fruit intake high
6. Eat whole grains
7. Eat dietary fiber
8. Eat legumes
9. Eating nuts and seeds
10. Include anti‐inflammatory herbs and spices
11. Avoid charred foods
12. Pay attention to glycemic load
13. Avoid obesity
14. Ensure adequate magnesium
Anti‐inflammatory Diet
• Be fat smart – Limit saturated
– Avoid trans fats
– Emphasize omega-3
• Eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables/day
• Use antioxidant herbs and spices
• Eat 25+ grams of fiber each day
• Optimize glucose metabolism
Fruits and Veggies
• GOAL: 5‐9 servings daily–ensures 25 grams fiber –Assists in maintaining microbiome
• Fiber is fab!–binds toxins and cholesterol – stool exit time / CRP
• Studies show– intake of fruits and vegetables inflammation CVD
• Phytochemicals inflammation

Minding The Microbiome In Pain
• Did you know… –We are 10x more non‐human than human cells
• We want to have our friends on board!
• Prebiotics and probiotics –Can modify the microbiome
–Maintain a healthy state, respectively
How do Food, the Microbiome and Pain Interact?
• Diet is a driving force in gut microbiome diversity and composition
• fiber (supports microbiome) = likelihood of OA
• Specific microbes identified in relation to specific metabolic host interaction

Gary’s Reflections
ReflectionsNow that you have thought about what matters to you in all of these areas, what isyour vision of your best possible self? What would your life look like? What kindof activities would you be doing?
I want to be able to stay independent as long as possible. I think I need to eat a little better (limitingsweets and convenience foods) and try to get more active and stronger so I can stay in my own home. Iget lonely at times and would like to find a way to meet more people.
Are there any areas you would like to work on? Where might you start?
Food and drink- I need to work on my food choices and choose things that are better for my diabetes and blood pressure. Moving the body- I should work on increasing my strength and activity.
Creating Gary’s PHP Together
Strengths:
• Incredible resilience and “power of the mind” is demonstrated through his survival story of enduring trauma/capture/POW camp and yet went on to manage 5 businesses with his wife
•Relationships bring him joy and a sense of purpose
65
Challenges:•Would like to make Better Food Choiceso Gary often eats too much due to his food insecurity issues and now is choosing more convenience foods with minimal nutritional value since his wife died. He recognizes that he should work on being more mindful with his eating.
•Has decreased Strength and Physical Activity
•Reports Loneliness/Lack of sense of community

•Personal Health Plan for: Gary Johnson
•Date: 1/16/19
•MAP: Gary’s joy in life comes from connecting with other people and feeling useful.
•Gary’s goals:
1.Improve nutrition and limit foods that negatively impact my blood sugar along with my blood pressure (especially donuts, bagels and chips).
2.Increase physical activity to help with weight management and strengthening.
3.Work with social worker and psychologist to use counseling, natural medications and mind‐body strategies to manage PTSD and loneliness.
CM 53
What might be potential elements/goals for Gary’s self‐care?
My Plan for skill building and support:
Mindful Awareness:
• Keep a sleep journal• Try to notice if I am really hungry when I eat
• Pay attention to potential triggers for flashbacks
Areas of Self‐Care:
• Working your Body‐ Increase walking/hiking to 3 days per week with a goal of building to 30 minutes per session; Consider a chair yoga or tai chi class at the VA
• Food and Drink‐ See the dietitian. Stop drinking sugary beverages like cola and iced tea. Limit my intake to 1 caffeinated beverage per day. Attend one of the Healthy Teaching kitchen classes.
67
Recharge‐ Review information on sleep hygiene. Continue taking melatonin. Keep seeing my counselor.
Family, Friends and Co‐Workers‐continue fishing with my best friend Mike. Reach out to my grandson with a phone call to reconnect. Go out to church or the senior center once a week.
Spirit and Soul‐ Consider a prayer group or Bible study group at your church to provide more social contact and help you feel more spiritually connected.
Power of the Mind‐ Continue seeing my psychologist and learn deep breathing exercises to help me deal with my flashbacks. Also consider learning about biofeedback.
Gary’s PHP
Professional Care: Conventional and Complementary
• Prevention‐ Up to date
• Testing‐ Keep up with Chol tests and HgbA1c as scheduled
• Medications and Supplements ‐ continue medications as prescribed. Okay to continue with dietary supplements of melatonin and glucosamine sulfate as discussed.

CreateYourOwnFood&DrinkPlan.You are most likely to follow through with a plan for healthy eating if you take it slow and make one change at a time. Don’t get caught up in “good” and “bad” labels. It’s not just about how many calories – different sources of calories affect the body
differently. Consider your budget and what you have access to. Is there a something it would be good to add more of to your diet? To remove? Can you change just one habit related to Food & Drink that you don’t want to follow?
ZeroingIn–Food&Drink:Nourishing&Fueling
KeyPoints Figure out the way to eat that
works best for you as an individual. Buying and preparing food are
skills. What more can you learn? Eat a colorful diet with a lot of
natural foods, especially vegetables and fruits.
Really pay attention when you eat. Notice if you are hungry or not.
You can adjust what you eat to help you with your health problems.
Get support from dietitians.
