The #1 Drink to STOP Joint Pain

DR. ERIC BERG
About this episode

Today, we’re going to talk about some of the underlying causes of pain, along with the best natural remedies for pain relief. Joint pain and inflammation don’t always signify arthritis!


t’s important to understand that natural joint pain remedies will not work if you continue to consume foods that cause inflammation. To avoid joint pain and inflammation, it’s vital to avoid the following foods:

•Sugar •High-fructose corn syrup•Seed oils •Gluten •Oxalates•MSG•Maltodextrin•Nightshades (Potatoes, peppers, tomatoes)•Lectins (Beans, peanuts, wheat, soy)


Healthy Keto is a great option to help avoid these inflammatory foods!


If you’re sensitive to oxalates, it may be caused by past antibiotic use. This can make you more susceptible to joint pain, especially when you consume spinach, chocolate, almonds, and Swiss chard. Increasing magnesium intake can help significantly.


Add a teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of half water and half coconut milk for the best joint pain remedy. Add a pinch of black pepper to increase absorption by 2000%. You can also add a scoop of collagen powder for even more joint pain relief! This drink is delicious for most people, but you can add a couple drops of liquid stevia if necessary. Drink this daily. It can also be served warm. This drink works anytime, but try drinking it in the morning for pain relief that lasts all day!

Turmeric has been shown to have similar effectiveness to ibuprofen and other NSAIDS. If you’re taking a turmeric supplement for joint pain relief, take 1000 to 1500 mg daily.


Turmeric inhibits at least four major inflammatory pathways. Coconut milk has beneficial properties and also helps with turmeric absorption. Collagen helps build up the joints.



Boswellia serrata is also an amazing supplement that research has shown to be as effective as NSAIDS without side effects.



Walking is the best exercise for joint pain relief, and it has no side effects. It can also extend your life!
