Pain-Free Joints offers readers an in-depth look at the origins of joint pain, personal anecdotes, and effective pain-management techniques. What inspired you to write this book?

I began feeling pain in my knees in my early 50’s. I was alarmed because of the discomfort and restrictions in my activities that ensued. I decided to do some research and was surprised at the information I found. I’m not particularly athletic or workout driven but figured I could definitely adjust my diet and use supplements and that’s how my journey began. I was amazed at the difference in my joints as I started using turmeric and adopting a more anti-inflammatory diet and so I decided to write this book to share my success as well as encourage others who may be struggling with debilitating joint pain.

How much and what type of research was required to put this book together?

The research did take some time but you’d be amazed (or maybe not) at the plethora of information available on the internet so I availed myself of that and selected what was relevant to my focus. I also spoke with medical professionals who were willing to share their insights and experience as well as point me in the right direction.

What is one misconception you believe many people have about joint health?

Many people think Joint Health is difficult or impossible to achieve, and therefore joint pain is inevitable, whether it’s because of genetics/heredity or old injuries, and something they have to “live with”.

What is one thing you hope readers take away from your book?

I hope readers realize there is hope in achieving joint pain relief by making simple lifestyle changes.
