🎉 Exciting News to Share! 🎉
I’m so thrilled to announce that my very first TEDx Talk 🎤, "Rethinking Gout and Chronic Disease | Arinola Dada, MD," is now on YouTube! 📺✨
👉 Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/8NUjhPql9m0si=HEQgvcEhfTT46sr3&t=10
In this talk, I dive into a topic close to my heart ❤️: gout. While many people think of it as a "disease of kings" 👑, the reality is far more complex—and often misunderstood. Too many patients face stigma, misinformation, and unnecessary pain. 😔
In this talk, I share:
✅ The real causes and impacts of gout
✅ The challenges in getting effective treatment
✅ Stories and history that explain why chronic diseases like gout carry so much stigma
This isn’t just about gout—it’s about rethinking how we approach chronic illnesses, challenging outdated beliefs, and advocating for better care for everyone. 🌍💪
