You can’t heal in an environment that’s constantly inflaming your body — and that includes your plate.

We see it every day in our clinic: people are doing the exercises, showing up for appointments, and still feel stuck in the pain cycle.

💥 The hidden culprit?
Their daily diet is fueling the very inflammation they’re trying to fight.

Here’s what most people don’t know:

🛢️ SEED OILS (like soybean, canola, and corn) are loaded with linoleic acid — an Omega-6 fatty acid that triggers the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals in the body. These oils get stored in your cells and oxidize, causing tissue damage and accelerating joint degeneration.

🍬 SUGAR increases blood glucose, spikes insulin, and creates Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) — sticky compounds that stiffen your joints and worsen pain. It also activates NF-κB, a key inflammation switch in the body.

🥖 PROCESSED CARBS cause rapid blood sugar swings, feed harmful gut bacteria, and raise CRP (C-reactive protein) — a clinical marker directly linked to joint pain and chronic inflammation.

⚠️ So yes… that “little bit” of sugar, oil, and ultra-processed food you eat daily? It adds up. And for people already dealing with joint pain, arthritis, or neuropathy — it keeps the fire burning.

✅ What you eat can either support your healing… or sabotage it.

At Active Health Clinics, we don’t just treat your pain — we teach you how to build a body that heals.

You’re doing the workouts. Taking the supplements. Watching your sugar.
So why do you still feel like crap?

Because your habits may be good — but your environment might still be sending danger signals to your body.

🔬 Chronic stress, negative self-talk, poor sleep, and constant overdrive can keep your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, increasing cortisol and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and CRP.

Your body doesn’t heal well in survival mode. It breaks down.

This post helps you shift the question from:
❌ “What’s wrong with me?”
✅ to “Is this helping or hurting my healing?”

It’s the foundation of everything we do at Active Health Clinics — treating the whole person, not just the pain.

You’ve been told it’s “just aging.”
You’ve been given another pill.
You’ve been rushed out of an appointment with more questions than answers.

Meanwhile…
Your pain is still there.
Your energy is gone.
Your life is on hold.

This is why more people are walking away from the same-old healthcare playbook and choosing functional, integrative care that actually looks for the root cause — so you can get out of pain, reduce inflammation, and get back to doing the things you love.

If you’re dealing with chronic pain, neuropathy, joint issues, headaches, or spine problems… waiting only makes it worse.

🚫 Popping a pill doesn’t mean you’re healing.

Most people think pain pills are “helping” them.
Truth? They’re just turning off the smoke alarm while the fire keeps burning.

👉 That “relief” you feel? It’s temporary.
Meanwhile, your joints keep degenerating, your body keeps compensating, and one day… the pain comes back harder — with more damage to fix.

At Active Health Clinics, we don’t chase symptoms.
We fix the root cause so your body can heal itself — without the daily pill cycle.

📞 Call us today and see if you qualify for our non-surgical, drug-free pain relief programs.

You know that sharp knee pain when you go down the stairs — but not up?
That’s more than “just age.”
That’s early joint breakdown, and it’s your body’s warning sign.

At AHC, we don’t wait until it’s bone-on-bone or “bad enough” for surgery.
We step in before things fall apart.

💬 Comment “HELP” to get a proactive joint check at Active Health Clinics — because pain going downstairs shouldn’t be your new normal.

If your joint pain keeps coming back… there’s a reason.

👉 It’s not just wear and tear.
👉 It’s not just getting older.
👉 And it’s definitely not because you’re not trying hard enough.

There’s a protein stuck in your joint that’s quietly chewing away at your cartilage — every single day.

It’s called a protease, and it’s the real root cause of arthritis.

That’s why meds, cortisone, and even regenerative treatments might not be working — they don’t remove the cause. But A*M does.

💉 A*M is a natural protein found in your blood. We extract it, concentrate it, and inject it directly into your joint to remove the damage-causing proteases. Which helps:

✔ Stops joint breakdown
✔ Clears the path for real healing
✔ Boosts the results of regenerative treatments like PRP, stem cells, peptides & more

This is step one.
And it changes everything.
📍 Comment “HELP” or call us at (515) 227-7491 to learn if A*M is right for you.

“This is a great therapy. It just isn’t covered.”
How many times have you heard that and immediately shut down?

Here’s the truth: Some of the most life-changing treatments Lasik, IVF, dental implants aren’t covered by insurance. But people still do them. Why?
Because the benefit outweighs the cost. Every time.

Healthcare shouldn’t be about waiting for approval. It should be about what actually works.

Comment or DM us if you’ve got questions, or if you’ve been told “not covered” and want to know what’s actually possible.
