It’s no surprise how debilitating autoimmune disorders can be.
Arthritic joints… aching muscles… overwhelming fatigue… and a host of other challenging symptoms can make navigating the world of autoimmunity seem overwhelming.
So when I recently asked my Facebook followers this simple question, “What autoimmune condition would you like to resolve?”, the responses came flying in. Chief among them was Rheumatoid Arthritis.
And it’s no wonder. Of all the autoimmune conditions out there, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) has to be one of the most relentless—and one of the most painful.
RA Rundown
If you suffer from RA, you might feel like you’re all alone and isolated with your pain. But the truth is that there are over 18 million people around the world battling this debilitating disease (source: World Health Organization). Women are twice as likely to be affected than men and more than half of those suffering from RA are age 55+.
RA can strike any joint in the body, but it most commonly targets the hands, wrists, and feet. Left unchecked, RA gets progressively worse. Here’s a sobering fact: A study published in Rheumatology and Therapy (2023) found that a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis can shorten life expectancy by an average of ten years. Obviously, this is much more than just joint pain we’re dealing with.
Finding long-lasting relief can feel like an uphill battle. But I want you to know that the painfully stiff joints of characteristic of RA are NOT just an inevitable sign of aging — and trying one prescription after another to mitigate symptoms is not going to resolve the underlying issues. To truly support your joints and fight this condition, you need something that works with your body—not just to mask the pain, but to promote healing from the inside out.
One of the most promising natural solutions available today is Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). When combined with other supportive ingredients, GLA works even harder to ease inflammation and support joint health—offering a powerful alternative for those seeking lasting relief.
I’m proud to have worked with UNI KEY Health in the development of GLA-90. This unique formula is packed with carefully chosen ingredients that work together to boost absorption and amplify results.
GLA-90: A Standout Solution for Soothing RA
For my clients who are dealing day in and day out with RA and other autoimmune disorders, I recommend UNI KEY’s GLA-90. It contains 90 mg of gamma linolenic acid from cold pressed black currant seed oil and is a powerhouse when it comes to calming inflammation at its source.
Good to Know:
- It may take 3 to 6 weeks before you feel the full effects of GLA supplementation.
- GLA is most effective when taken in two divided daily doses. Adults take two (2) softgel capsules twice daily.
- Take GLA with food to enhance its absorption and minimize the likelihood of digestive upset.
>Note: Just last year, we couldn’t keep GLA-90 in stock – it just kept flying off the shelf! UNI KEY has since restocked, and this product remains as popular as ever. Get yours before it’s gone again!

Additional RA Support: The Right Fats for Joint Health
In addition to GLA-90, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention healthy fats. I believe that when it comes to keeping your joints happy and pain-free, Omega-3 fats are true MVPs. Found in fish oil, these healthy fats have been shown to support both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by reducing inflammation in the fluid that cushions the joints. But with the growing concern over contaminants and heavy metals in our waters, choosing a clean source is crucial.
You’ll find several brands of this super nutrient that I trust on my online Fullscript catalog. Check out O.N.E. Omega by Pure Encapsulations or Omega-3 Vegan DHA & EPA by Sunwarrior.
A cautionary note: Just as important as getting the right fats IN is keeping the wrong fats OUT. Processed vegetable oils like canola, corn, and soy are packed with inflammatory Omega-6s that throw off the delicate balance your body needs to keep inflammation in check. Cutting these oils from your diet can go a long way in reducing overall inflammation and protecting your joints.
