Cheryl talks with Cristina Montoya, a bilingual registered dietitian and founder of Arthritis Dietitian, about building a compassionate, sustainable relationship with food while living with rheumatoid arthritis. Cristina shares her 20-year journey with rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren’s disease and explains why managing autoimmune conditions works best when medication and lifestyle support go hand in hand.
Cristina and Cheryl also discuss Cristina’s new GLOW framework: Grow gut diversity, Lower inflammation, Optimize energy, and Work with your body compassionately. The conversation also covers gut health, the risks of overly restrictive diets, mindful eating, and how to aim for progress over perfection, even on flare days.
