I had wrist pain so painful that I was considering early retirement and couldn’t lift objects more then a few pounds or even cut food. I tried steroid injections, Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and consulted 3 doctors including a top hospital in the Texas Medical Center – none of which helped or got to the root causes. Two physicians told me I needed surgery. Dr. Mehta made some lifestyle recommendations to reduce inflammation which I did and within a few months the pain went away and I could continue living a normal life. I was so excited I didn’t have to get operated on. I’m grateful to have my life back.

By Dr. Shilpi Bhadra Mehta At the supermarket, do you yearn for the juicy rib eye but reach for the lean sirloin? Do you even consider the whole milk or just go straight for the skim? Do you stand clueless in front of the mammoth cooler of endless butter substitutes, wondering which one is supposed to be “healthiest” this week?…. Read More
