New Way RA

Ellie with Deborah Norville

I recently had the pleasure of working with the smart, talented and beautiful Deborah Norville (anchor of Inside Edition) on a project we are both quite proud of. It is an on-line talk show designed to help people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) live better and to raise awareness about the chronic condition.

RA is not the creaky-bones kind of arthritis that comes with old age. It is an autoimmune disease that leads to inflammation which ultimately can cause debilitating joint destruction. It tends to be diagnosed in people in their prime of life, ages 30-50. Overall it affects more than a million Americans, 70% of them women.

Deborah knows about RA first hand as her mother suffered from it and ultimately died from complications from of the condition at a relatively young age. In the talk show, she shares her story, and goes on to interview various experts about how you can live better with RA. There is a top physician, relationship coach, exercise specialist, career coach, and yours truly, showing you how you can eat to reduce inflammation and stay well. It is a real whole-life approach designed for those with RA and their loved ones. And it is totally free.

Just go to www.NewWayRA.com to log on and see clips from the show. If you register you can watch the whole program on-line at your leisure or request a free DVD to be mailed to you.
