Living with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis?
You’ve adjusted your life around your pain. It’s time to get it back.
Less pain. Better movement. More energy.
Plants for Health is a clinically proven lifestyle program that reduces pain, stiffness, and disease activity. Built by the scientists at Amsterdam UMC who proved it works.
When you live with arthritis, you know it touches everything
The stiffness in the morning. The flare you did not see coming. The feeling that you are managing symptoms instead of living your life. You have probably been told that managing symptoms is the best you can do. We know there is more you can do, and that it starts with how you eat, move, rest, and recover.
The method
This is The Inflammation Practice
Plants for Health teaches one method: The Inflammation Practice. A four-pillar approach proven to reduce disease activity — and the foundation of our 12-month program.
You don’t have to wait for a new prescription. Everything we do rests on one idea: when your daily habits work with your body instead of against it, inflammation has less room to take hold.
The Inflammation Practice turns that into four practical pillars — nutrition, movement, stress, and sleep — that you can start applying right away.
Created by the scientists who proved it works
The Inflammation Practice was developed by Dr. Wendy Walrabenstein (RD, PhD) and Dr. Carlijn Wagenaar (MD, PhD), together with rheumatologist Prof. Dr. Dirkjan van Schaardenburg. The same team that ran the research now guides you through the program.
Four pillars, one practice
FOOD
Nourish
Nourish to calm inflammation. Whole, plant-rich meals that give your body what it needs to settle down.
MOVEMENT
Move
Move to restore mobility. Gentle, consistent movement that keeps joints supple and strong.
RELAXATION
Recharge
Recharge to reduce the inflammatory load. Practical ways to lower the stress that fuels inflammation.
SLEEP
Restore
Restore so your body can heal. The rest your body relies on to repair and recover.
Built on clinical research
The Inflammation Practice grew out of the Plants for Joints clinical trial, conducted at Reade Amsterdam Center for Rehabilitation and Amsterdam University Medical Center.
In the study, 9 out of 10 participants felt better within 4 months. More than half were able to reduce their medication, guided by their doctor.
The program brings that same approach to you, developed by the researchers and clinicians behind the trial.

Plants for Health is not a replacement for medical treatment. Everything we do is designed to work alongside your physician’s care — not instead of it.
