Restore Rheumatology Clinic Direct Care for Arthritis and Autoimmune Disease

10/07/2026

I wanted to quit my marathon on Sunday. Here’s what I took from it.

You don’t have to run a marathon to be healthy. Find movement you enjoy, at whatever level works for you.

A few things to know:
• The guidelines recommend 150 to 300 minutes a week of moderate activity (you can talk, but not sing), or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous activity, plus strength training 2 days a week.

• The biggest benefit comes from just getting started. In a large study, even about an hour a week was linked to roughly 20% lower risk of death from all causes, compared with no activity.

• Start small. A 5-minute walk a few times a week counts. Build from there.

• Some days you’ll do more, some days less. That’s okay.

Every little bit helps. Talk with your care team about what’s right for you.

I answer the phone. So does Cindy. So does Christine.

No hold music, no phone tree, no bot getting you nowhere.

That’s the personal touch direct care actually gives you.

$1,000+ vs. under $75. Same labs.

No markup, no facility fee, no phlebotomy charge tacked on — just the actual cost, because that’s what direct care means.

Many of these labs are already covered under membership.

This is what direct care looks like.

No waiting days for a response, or weeks for an appointment.

If you’re managing arthritis or an autoimmune condition around a full-time job and a family, “we’ll get back to you” isn’t good enough.

Can you have lupus with a negative ANA?

I get questions like this all the time. Once a month, I answer one in The Restore Letter, our newsletter.

It’s a note from me, blog post highlight, a lifestyle medicine tip, a recipe, and a patient question answered. Plus whatever’s going on at the practice that month.

Free. One email a month. No spam. Sign up on our website.

Normal labs doesn’t rule out RA.

Up to 1 in 3 people with rheumatoid arthritis have normal blood work — no positive rheumatoid factor, no anti-CCP antibodies. This is called seronegative RA.

Labs are one piece of the puzzle. Your symptoms, your exam, and imaging like joint ultrasound matter more.

If you’ve been dismissed because your blood work looked fine but your joints tell a different story, it may be worth a closer look.

Heading south this winter?

Having two rheumatologists is a hassle. Records to transfer, a new waitlist, and a second doctor who has to learn your history from scratch.

There's another option now. I'm licensed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, and Arizona, so if you have an established diagnosis — PMR, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, osteoporosis, and more — your care can travel with you. We establish care at the Oakdale office before you go, then I follow you all winter: virtual visits, medication management, and monitoring labs drawn at a Quest location near you.

Back in the office when you return in spring.

Know a snowbird who could use this? Tag them or share.

Gout is one of the most treatable conditions in rheumatology. So why are so many people still flaring?

Usually the medication isn’t the problem. The dose just never got adjusted. In one study, barely half of patients ever had their uric acid rechecked after starting treatment.

That’s the whole reason I built this program. Six months, structured monitoring, one price. And if you flare along the way, those visits are included too.

Gout doesn't need a lifetime of appointments. It needs someone watching your numbers until they're where they should be.

Introducing the Gout Package: 6 months of focused gout management for $1,000.

Here's what that includes:
🔹 Initial consultation — gout-related labs and joint ultrasound included
🔹 Uric acid checks with medication titration — labs included, with a check-in after each result
🔹 Up to 2 flare visits, because gout doesn't schedule ahead — joint injection included if needed

No insurance, no prior authorizations, no waiting weeks for a callback while your toe is on fire. When your labs come back, you hear from me about next steps.

After 6 months, most patients are at their target uric acid and transition back to as-needed care or their primary care doctor with a clear plan to stay there.

If you've been living flare to flare, this is the reset.

Isolation is a health risk.

People with strong social relationships had a 50% greater chance of survival in a study of over 300,000 people. And this shows up in rheumatology specifically. About a third of people with inflammatory arthritis report feeling lonely, and lonelier patients tend to have more active disease.

It runs both ways. Fatigue, unpredictable flares, and an invisible illness all make staying connected harder. The disease itself builds the barriers.

What helps: A weekly call. One group built around something you already enjoy. Quality over quantity.

That's all six pillars. Sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, substances, connection. Full series at restorerheumatology.com.
