Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

I am Leah Kleintrote.

I am a registered and licensed dietitian, and I am co-hosting Dishing Up Nutrition this morning, alongside with Melanie Beasley, who is also a registered and licensed dietitian, and I am co-hosting Dishing Up Nutrition this morning, alongside with Melanie Beasley,

who is also a registered and licensed dietitian.

So this morning, we are going to talk about how nutrition can help reduce back pain.

And in reality, any kind of pain.

This could be knee pain. This could be shoulder pain. This could be

ankle or foot pain because pain is rooted in inflammation. And we're going to talk a lot about

how inflammation causes pain and what nutritionally we can do to reduce that inflammation and in turn reduce back

pain. Now, in the past, we have had special guests on the show when discussing back pain.

Madeline, who teaches our classes for us, Toxyl has talked in the past about her back pain.

Joanne, who's also one of our registered dietitians, has shared her struggles with back pain.

But today we're going to do something just a little bit different, and I'm going to be

interviewing Melanie, who has struggled with back pain since the early 2000s or so.

So welcome Melanie, and can you maybe just start us off by sharing with how, when, where

your journey with back pain started?

So good morning, listeners.
