From Managing Symptoms to Healing: A Rheumatoid Arthritis Journey

Living with an autoimmune disease can feel like an endless cycle of medications, flare-ups, and unanswered questions but what if the real solution starts by looking at the root cause?

In this episode of Table Talk, Melody Hartzler sits down with Amber Fish, PharmD, a pharmacist at Pharm to Table, to discuss her personal journey with rheumatoid arthritis and how functional medicine completely changed the way she approached healing. After years of relying on conventional treatments, Amber discovered that addressing gut health, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and lifestyle habits made a profound difference in her symptoms and overall quality of life.

Together, they explore why autoimmune disease is about more than managing symptoms, the role of functional testing, and how small, sustainable lifestyle changes can support long-term healing. Whether you’re living with rheumatoid arthritis, another autoimmune condition, or simply want to take a more proactive approach to your health, this conversation offers practical insights and hope for your wellness journey.
