I eliminated refined sugar and white carbs about 4 years ago. I have been struggling with PMR since 2019, Dx 2020, and now GCA Dx Nov 2025. Diet changes have helped, if nothing else my lipid panel is all good. I also have chronic kidney failure (CKF) so I am working to eat more plant-based foods. I am also working with a renal dietitian to make the necessary changes. I have eaten organic at home for 25 years since I became a breast cancer survivor. I am a firm believe we are what we eat. Food is the fuel our body has available to operate our metabolic system. Plain and simple. I wish you well on your journey.
