Perimenopause, Insulin Resistance, and Persistent Muscle & Joint Pain: A Functional Medicine Framework: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses perimenopausal musculoskeletal symptoms—new or persistent joint pain, muscle aches, and tendon problems—and highlights a Clinician's Journal article by physical therapist Tara Moore proposing insulin resistance screening in perimenopausal musculoskeletal care. She explains that declining estradiol during the menopausal transition can worsen insulin signaling, increase visceral fat, and reduce insulin sensitivity, affecting skeletal muscle recovery and potentially contributing to tendinopathies and poor or short-lived responses to localized treatments like PT. The framework emphasizes assessing systemic metabolic contributors (e.g., sedentary behavior, high-carbohydrate nutrition patterns, PCOS, central weight gain, stress, sleep disruption) and addressing mediators such as inflammation and impaired glucose utilization. She suggests integrating metabolic risk assessment, sleep and stress strategies, resistance training, and interdisciplinary referrals, arguing that nutrition and supplementation—especially a low-carb approach—may improve recovery and pain outcomes.

Joint pain shows up for at least three completely different reasons, and the right response in each case looks completely different. Inside today's episode, I break down the three drivers of joint pain that show up the most in coaching practice and primary care offices, why treating all three the same way gets you right about a third of the time, and how to actually sort out which one you or your client is dealing with. For coaches and active individuals alike, this is the framework to run before reaching for an intervention.

What if chronic joint pain is not simply an unavoidable part of aging? And what if many people being told they need knee replacement surgery actually have other options?In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong speaks with orthopedic surgeon, founder of Victory in Motion, and bestselling author Dr. Marc Pietropaoli about the future of joint care and his ambitious mission to eliminate the need for knee replacement surgery by 2043. With more than 27 years in practice and over 30,000 patients treated, Dr. Pietropaoli challenges conventional assumptions about arthritis, degeneration, and the aging body.The conversation explores why so many people feel trapped between pain and surgery, the overlooked roles of movement quality and bone stress, and how regenerative and movement-based approaches may help active adults maintain function and independence longer than they thought possible. Dr. Pietropaoli also discusses the realities of modern orthopedic medicine, misconceptions about aging joints, and practical strategies listeners can begin using to reduce pain and improve mobility.Whether you are struggling with chronic knee pain, trying to stay active as you age, or simply want to preserve your ability to move well for decades to come, this episode offers a hopeful and thought-provoking look at what aging well can really mean.Learn more at https://victoryinmotion.com/Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Michele Scarlet sits down with RN, Nurse Practitioner, and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Connie Wade for an honest conversation about what 25 years inside the emergency room taught her about the limits of conventional medicine, why her own doctor told her she was not "sick enough" to treat, and how she finally healed the symptoms she had been "swiping away" for years. In this powerful Health Detective Podcast episode, Connie shares her personal journey through psoriasis, debilitating joint pain at 48, chronic reflux, daily ibuprofen use, estrogen dominance, heavy painful periods, more than 20 years of night shift, H. pylori, an overwhelmed liver and gallbladder, food sensitivities to her favorite foods, and a depleted gut microbiome. Together, Michele and Connie unpack how functional lab testing gave Connie the vindication she had been looking for, why she healed in three months once she addressed the root causes, and why she chose to keep working in the ER while building her functional health practice on the side. This episode dives deep into: Why her doctor said "she wasn't sick enough" and sent her home with ibuprofen The functional labs that finally explained her symptoms after years of being dismissed How 20 plus years of night shift flatlined her cortisol and disrupted her hormones H. pylori, food sensitivities, and the gut findings that changed everything Why psoriasis, joint pain, and heavy periods are not just "normal aging" The reframe that helped Connie cut gluten, sugar, and dairy without feeling deprived Why so many nurses are leaving bedside nursing and the third option most do not consider How to build a functional nursing side practice without leaving your license or your job Why going all in or all out of conventional medicine limits your reach as a clinician The four simple daily practices Connie recommends to every patient How to ask your family for support when you start your healing journey Michele and Connie also discuss why the body is constantly trying to send messages, why most of us swipe them away for years, and why functional lab testing catches dysfunction long before conventional labs ever turn "abnormal." If you are a woman struggling with joint pain, psoriasis, hormone imbalance, or symptoms your doctor keeps dismissing, or you are a nurse, NP, or clinician quietly exploring functional medicine as a career path, this episode will change how you view your body and what is possible.

One in six women arriving at Dr Louise Newson's menopause clinic have suicidal thoughts. 92% see those thoughts reduce with natural hormones, so why are women still being prescribed antidepressants instead?In this chat with Fearne, Louise explains why women are being misdiagnosed with depression or anxiety when the root cause is hormonal. Fearne admits she's the woman with her head in the sand about perimenopause, so Louise walks her through what the many (many!) different symptoms could look like, and how to talk to a GP about how you're feeling mentally and physically.Plus, is there any truth to the myth that HRT causes breast cancer? Why is testosterone the most misunderstood hormone in women's health? And would the contraceptive pill be approved if it was created today...?Louise's new book, The Power of Hormones, is out now.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Liz EarleCally BeatonNaomi Watts Hosted on Acast.

Inflammation is tied to some of the biggest health problems in the world — heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune conditions, gut disorders, brain health issues, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, mood changes, and more. And one of the best ways to understand what is driving that inflammation may begin in your gut. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, bestselling author of Fiber Fueled and Plant Powered Plus, joins Chuck Carroll to reveal how the gut microbiome can shape inflammation throughout the body — and what you can do to start reducing inflammation naturally. Dr. B also shares practical steps for people with sensitive stomachs, bloating, IBS, or food intolerances who want to improve gut health without making symptoms worse. This is your gut-first guide to understanding inflammation, identifying what may be driving your symptoms, and taking the first steps toward better health.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Maria: Hello. I have terrible joint pain in my hands. Some days are worse than others. I am a 50 year old female and was wondering if you can suggest a supplement and maybe foods to stay away from.      Bea: Hi Doc, Thanks so much for everything that you do. I have been wondering about dosage on the back of supplement labels. I am a 5'3 115 pound woman. Do I take the recommended amount on the back or less? For example, I take proteolytic enzymes. Should I take 2 as instructed on the back or just 1? thank you!!      Skip: Hello Dr C, thanks for all you do! I keep hearing this tick season is going to be really bad. I know you generally say to strengthen the immune system with Lyme. I'm wondering what specifics you have for preventing/ repelling ticks (with humans and dogs) and for someone who has Lyme- how can they get to the root cause in addition to supporting the immune system?      Karla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to first thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and research with us. It has truly been invaluable to me and my family. I wanted to ask about a recent supplement I heard about on my local radio. It's called Astaxanthin. They claimed it would help with skin, vision, energy and many other things. I searched your previous podcasts and didn't see anything about it, so I was hoping you could comment on whether it's worth adding to my current supplement regimen. Thanks in advance!      Louise: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have been attempting to do the CBO Protocol for about 3 weeks now, but have had to pause multiple times because I experienced pretty intense die off symptoms. The most troubling one is restless leg syndrome. I believe it is related to the inflammation caused by the die off. It is so severe that I can only do half the dose a day, and I still get pretty bad RLS. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make it through the protocol with this problem? Would asking for temporary RLS medication be a bad idea? Is there anything natural I can take? I have tried megaigg2000 to bind the LPS, and now high dose curcumin to help the inflammation levels but I don't know what else I can do. Thank you for your time and input!    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3747 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Joints play a critical role in how we move, stay active, and maintain independence—but joint pain and arthritis can make everyday activities challenging. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Nana Sarpong, an orthopedic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, about how joints function and what happens when cartilage wears down. Dr. Sarpong explains the difference between mechanical osteoarthritis and inflammatory forms of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, including how each impacts joint movement, pain, and stiffness. The conversation covers conservative treatment strategies such as anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, bracing, and injections—along with when surgery becomes the right option. Dr. Sarpong also explains how modern joint replacement surgery works, how long implants now last, and what recovery looks like. Dr. Sarpong debunks common myths, including whether cracking your knuckles is harmful, if weather really affects joint pain, and the idea that people with arthritis should avoid movement. His key message: motion really is lotion—and staying active is essential for protecting your joints and preserving long-term mobility.   Chapters 00:00 – What Are Joints and How Do They Work? An overview of joint anatomy, function, and why joints are essential to movement 04:30 – Arthritis and Joint Conditions The difference between osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis, causes of joint pain and stiffness 08:45 – Treating Joint Pain and Arthritis Conservative care, physical therapy, injections, and when surgery becomes the right option 12:00 – Protecting Your Joints and Busting Myths Exercise, weight management, common misconceptions, and the importance of staying active   Key Topics Covered How joints function in the body Osteoarthritis vs. rheumatoid and inflammatory arthritis Causes of joint pain, stiffness, and cartilage loss Physical therapy and non-surgical treatments Joint replacement surgery and recovery Exercise recommendations for joint health Weight loss and joint load reduction Myths about cracking joints and weather-related pain Takeaway Message Joint pain doesn't mean you should stop moving. Staying active, strengthening the muscles around your joints, and managing weight can help protect joint function and slow arthritis progression. When conservative treatments stop working, modern joint replacement surgery offers safe, durable solutions that can restore mobility and independence for decades.   Doctor Bio Nana Sarpong, MD, MBA, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee reconstruction. He is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, including partial knee reconstruction, primary hip replacement (both direct anterior and mini-posterior hip approaches), knee replacement, hip resurfacing, and complex primary and revision hip and knee replacement after failed surgeries.

Based on a rigorous process to identify healthcare providers with a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement, Super Doctors named Dr. Sarpong one of New York's Rising Stars. Dr. Sarpong was raised in New York City and attended Brandeis University, in Massachusetts, on the Posse Foundation Leadership and Merit scholarship, graduating magna cum laude. He received his MD/MBA degree from Tufts University School of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society and received the Norman S. Stearns MD/MBA Excellence in Leadership Award. Dr. Sarpong completed his orthopedic surgery residency at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where he was elected as executive chief resident in his final year. As a chief resident, he was the recipient of the Nas Eftekhar award for excellence in adult reconstruction and the chief resident teacher of the year award. He completed the prestigious adult reconstruction and joint replacement surgery fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he received specialized training in navigation and computer-assisted joint replacement and complex and revision reconstruction.

In this episode, they break down how prevalent joint pain really is, the most common areas it shows up in, and why it tends to get worse with age. They also explore what's happening inside the joint, how it affects daily movement and quality of life, and what the research actually shows about strength training as a way to reduce pain and improve function.Dr. Fisher explains how to recognize the most common types of joint pain. He points out that while low back pain is often more musculoskeletal, the real hotspots people struggle with daily are the knees, hips, and especially the hands.Learn why joint pain becomes a problem as you get older. Dr. Fisher breaks down osteoarthritis as a degenerative condition where the cartilage that cushions your joints slowly wears down over time. Globally, it affects around 7% of people, but once you hit your 50s and 60s, that number jumps to nearly 25%.Dr. Fisher explains what's really happening inside your joints as you age. Cartilage does not have its own blood supply, which means it cannot repair itself the way other tissues can. As muscle mass declines and small injuries add up over time, more stress gets placed directly on your joints, which is where the real problem begins.Amy covers why building muscle is one of the most overlooked ways to protect your joints. The stronger the muscles surrounding a joint are, the more support and stability that joint has during everyday movement.Dr. Fisher explains why joint pain affects more than just your body. He describes pain as a lived experience that is difficult to fully understand unless you have gone through it yourself. It can quietly shape your mood, your confidence, and even how willing you are to stay active.Learn what the research actually says about strength training and osteoarthritis.Dr. Fisher walks through a large review study that looks at how resistance training impacts pain, strength, and overall function.According to Dr. Fisher, most people in pain avoid movement because it feels like the wrong thing to do, but not all movement is the same. Unlike repetitive activities like walking or running, resistance training can strengthen your body in ways that reduce stress on the joints.Learn what happens when people with joint pain start resistance training. Within just four to nine weeks, participants in these studies experienced less pain, more strength, and better physical function. That improvement often spills over into better quality of life and more confidence in daily activities.Amy and Dr. Fisher explain why reducing pain changes how you show up in life. As discomfort starts to fade, people naturally feel more energized and more willing to engage with the world again. That spark to move, connect, and enjoy life starts to come back.Dr. Fisher explains how strength training works inside the joint itself. When you avoid movement, your knees stop producing synovial fluid, which leads to more stiffness and discomfort. Resistance training helps release synovial fluid without the repetitive stress that can make conditions like osteoarthritis worse.Learn how stronger muscles take pressure off your joints. When your muscles are weak, your joints absorb more force than they should. As you build strength, your muscles start doing their job properly, which reduces the load on your joints and makes movement feel smoother.Dr. Fisher explains why exercise can reduce pain almost immediately. There is a concept called exercise-induced pain relief where strength training helps lower discomfort across the whole body, not just in one joint. This means the benefit is not only long term but can also be felt right after a session.Learn how to start strength training even if you are dealing with joint pain right now. Dr. Fisher encourages starting with guidance from a coach or a personal trainer who understands your situation and can adjust accordingly. Taking that first step is often the hardest part, but it is also where progress begins.Dr. Fisher explains why getting past the fear barrier changes everything. Once people realize that strength training is not making their condition worse, they begin to build consistency. Over time, the evidence is clear that it reduces pain, improves strength, and supports long term joint health.Why working with a personal trainer can speed up your progress. When you're dealing with joint pain, guessing your way through workouts often leads to frustration or setbacks. A trainer helps you do the right movements, at the right intensity, so you actually see results without making things worse.Mentioned in This Episode:The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!Submit your questions at StrengthChangesEverything.comThis podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

If your joints ache after exercise, if your hips or knees are not what they used to be, or if you are just noticing your body recovering more slowly than it did a few years ago, this episode is going to be genuinely useful. Leanne and Susie break down the evidence on what food can and cannot do for chronic pain and joint health, call out the supplements that are not worth your money, and explain what the Mediterranean diet actually looks like in real life, which is not what most people think it is. Plus there is new research on meal repetition and weight loss that might just change how you think about meal prep, a verdict on the new Arnott's Shapes Light and Crispy range that had everyone's Instagram lighting up, and a straight-talking answer to one of the most common questions in clinic: do you actually need a multivitamin? In this episode: Why joint pain increases as estrogen declines, and why women in their 40s and 50s are disproportionately affected by inflammation, tendinitis, frozen shoulder, and chronic pain The only three nutrients with a genuine evidence base for joint health, and why turmeric is not one of them What the Mediterranean diet actually looks like when you strip away the Instagram version, and why most people eating reasonably well are still not doing it properly Why just 10% body weight loss can meaningfully reduce the experience of joint pain, and why that number is more achievable than most people think The collagen question answered properly: how much you need, which form works, why vitamin C must be paired with it, and how long you actually need to take it before expecting results New research from a US university showing that eating the same meals most days led to nearly 6% body weight loss over 12 weeks, compared to 4% in those who varied their diet significantly. What this actually means in practice, and the important caveat both Leanne and Susie flag The new Arnott's Shapes Light and Crispy range: is the white box marketing genius or genuine nutrition improvement?

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses joint inflammation—its symptoms (swelling, pain, redness, warmth, morning stiffness, reduced range of motion) and why it is usually a sign of an underlying condition rather than a disease itself. She reviews common causes including osteoarthritis (cartilage wear and tear), rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune synovium attack with prolonged morning stiffness and fatigue), gout (uric acid crystals, often in the big toe), psoriatic arthritis, injuries, autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, Sjogren's), infections such as septic arthritis requiring urgent care, and surrounding-tissue problems like tendonitis and bursitis. Lifestyle factors that worsen inflammation include excess weight, poor diet (including unaddressed food allergies; avoiding nightshades is suggested), insulin resistance contributing to gout, lack of exercise, smoking, and stress. Management strategies include rest, bracing, ice vs. heat, OTC anti-inflammatories, gentle low-impact exercise, anti-inflammatory foods, weight loss, treating root causes, and supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, bromelain, turmeric, Boswellia, and quercetin.

Over 90% of adults over 40 are mineral-deficient. Are you one of them?  In this podcast, mineral expert and Beam Minerals co-founder Caroline Alan breaks down why and how mineral depletion quietly impacts energy, hormones, and overall vitality.  As women enter perimenopause already running on empty, we explore how declining hormones combined with modern lifestyle stressors leave the body struggling to maintain key functions like mitochondrial energy, detoxification, and cognitive health.  Caroline introduces the power of plant-based minerals, explaining how they replenish cellular reserves and play a critical role in hormone balance, fertility, and brain chemistry.  This conversation highlights why minerals are a missing piece in midlife wellness—and how simple daily habits can restore what your body has been burning through for years.  If you've been feeling exhausted despite doing “everything right,” this episode is for you! Tune in here. Caroline Alan Caroline Alan is the Co-Founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals Inc. After her busy corporate career, Caroline found herself struggling physically, mentally, and energetically. As a result of her journey back to health and years of deep study, Caroline has become devoted to educating people about how minerals operate in the body, why we need to supplement our mineral intake, and the benefits of natural humic and fulvic– plant-based mineral substances for replenishment in the body. Caroline is a regular contributor to Podcasts and health-focused events/programs around the world. IN THIS EPISODE How a mineral deficiency impacts perimenopause symptoms  What do minerals really do in your body? Why minerals are so important for perimenopausal women  How plant-based minerals can meet the needs of your body  What exactly are plant-based minerals, and how can you get them?  Humic and Fulvic molecules and how they work in your body  The biggest benefits of replenishing your minerals in midlife  Getting started with Beam Minerals to feel your best in your body  QUOTES“At a cellular level, minerals represent the fuel for energy production in your body.” “All these minerals work together, the way all your cells work together, they all rely on one another in a very complex way… so that's why we end up talking about plant-based minerals because they're actually Mother Nature's solution to this issue of needing different minerals at different stages of your life.” “If you start actually filling, replenishing minerals using humic and fulvic, that actually will get the minerals to the right place inside your cells, and now you start to have some huge shifts.” RESOURCES MENTIONED

If you're like me, you've noticed that among all the other crazy changes happening in perimenopause, your skin isn't the same as it used to be.  In this episode, I'm joined by triple board-certified dermatologist and skincare expert Dr. Mamina Turegano to break down what's really happening to your skin during midlife.  From increased dryness and loss of firmness to subtle shifts in texture, we explore why these changes occur and how fluctuations in your hormones play a major role. Dr. Turegano shares how your skin is truly a window into your internal health, offering clues about everything from inflammation to overall aging and longevity.  This conversation goes beyond surface-level skincare to help you understand what your skin is trying to tell you—and how to support it from the inside out.  You'll also learn what actually works (and what to skip) so you can simplify your routine and avoid common midlife skincare mistakes.  Tune in here to feel like your most confident and radiant self!

Discussing the use of topical hormone products like estrogen cream  Realistic skin care routines for midlife women  Considering prescription products vs. over-the-counter skin care Benefits, side effects, and recommendations for Botox  External factors that are impacting your skin and aging  How crucial your lifestyle choices are in determining your skin quality  Top products for managing midlife wrinkles, dark spots, and hair loss  Getting to the root cause of your symptoms and treating proactively  QUOTES“It's all tied together, how you take care of yourself internally and optimize your skin health. That all will manifest with how you age externally.” “I want people to feel reassured. They don't have to do a lot. The super foundational part of a skincare routine is making sure that you're cleansing daily— even washing your face is anti-aging.” “I'm all about implementing lifestyle strategies. Skincare and lasers, they could do a lot, but they can only do so much. You can really optimize the results of your skincare and your procedures too if you have the right mechanisms in place internally. If your mitochondria is optimized, optimizing your sleep, minimizing more of those inflammation-inducing foods, minimizing sugar, minimizing alcohol, minimizing stress.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE!  https://peri-revolution.com/ Dr. Mamina's Website Dr. Mamina on Instagram Dr. Mamina on TikTok   Dr. Mamina on YouTube Dr. Mamina's Podcast: Skin Deep MDs RELATED EPISODES  631: Halt and Reverse Skin Aging, Plus the Top Preventable Factors Driving Skin Aging with Dr. Alessandra Zonari 659: Brain Fog, Joint Pain, and Aging Skin?

A special addition to our monthly clinical corner recap- Matt and Allie welcome clinic manager Ryan Parnell, PT DPT OCS to discuss the two articles pulled for March. Ryan introduces himself, poses his question to the PT students listening, and walks our listeners through both articles. You'll hear about a clinical trial that was conducted where electrical dry needling was implemented along with manual therapy and exercise for patients with knee osteoarthritis in comparison to patients who only received manual therapy and exercise. In the follow-up article, researchers found that "booster" visits every 4 weeks after completing treatment with electrical dry needling was much more effective in maintaining pain-free function.Read the articles here: https://journals.lww.com/clinicalpain/fulltext/2018/12000/periosteal_electrical_dry_needling_as_an_adjunct.9.aspxhttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09593985.2025.2575837Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

Your brain has two jobs when you're injured: keep you safe and keep you functional. So it finds a workaround. It automates it. And it keeps running it — long after the injury is gone.Sound familiar?

Send a textWhy are so many people dealing with chronic pain earlier than ever?In this episode, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Dr. Ashu Goyle, a double board-certified anesthesiology and pain medicine physician trained at the Cleveland Clinic and founder of Integrated Spine, Pain, and Wellness in Scottsdale, Arizona.Dr. Goyle shares how his philosophy shifted from simply interrupting pain signals to helping the body repair itself. They unpack why back pain, knee pain, and joint degeneration are rarely isolated problems, and why treating one body part without addressing sleep, nutrition, inflammation, stress, and biomechanics often leads to temporary relief instead of lasting change.They discuss regenerative approaches like PRP and other orthobiologic therapies, metabolic optimization before procedures, laser therapy, nervous system balance, and what it really takes to create an environment where healing can occur.“If you're going to put something powerful back into your body, make sure the environment you're putting it into is ready.”This conversation challenges the quick-fix mindset and reframes pain as part of a bigger story. If you want to stay strong, active, and capable as you age, this episode will change how you think about healing.Learn more about Dr. Ashu Goyle:Or find him on Instagram @DrAshuGoyleFollow The Daily Apple and leave a review to help more people find the show.www.primehealthassociates.com Instagram: @KevinWhiteMD YouTube: @KevinWhiteMD Prime Health Associates

Send a textIn this episode of The Autoimmune RESET Podcast, I'm sharing some of the key ideas from a full-day practitioner training I recently delivered on arthritis — and why the way we think about joint pain needs to change.For decades, arthritis — particularly osteoarthritis — has been framed as a simple story of wear and tear. Something mechanical. Something inevitable. Something that happens as we age.But that explanation is incomplete.Joint health is not just about cartilage. It is about the immune system, the gut, the nervous system, metabolism, and the body's ability to resolve inflammation. Arthritis is often a systemic condition that happens to be expressed through the joints.In this episode, we explore the deeper physiology behind inflammatory joint symptoms, including:• The gut–joint connection and intestinal permeability • Microbial triggers linked to autoimmune arthritis • The role of short-chain fatty acids and immune tolerance • Omega-3 fatty acids and the resolution of inflammation • Why digestion and absorption are often overlooked foundations • Nervous system regulation and pain signalling • The importance of sequencing interventions rather than doing everything at onceI also share reflections from my own experience of living with significant joint pain for many years, and what I've learned from working with clients who move from daily inflammation and limitation to meaningful recovery.One of the most important messages in this episode is that healing rarely happens through quick fixes. It happens through a layered, strategic approach — stabilising foundations first, then building resilience over time.If you are living with joint pain, stiffness, autoimmune arthritis, or inflammatory flares, this conversation will help you understand why your symptoms may be happening and what you can begin to do about them.Because arthritis is not always inevitable. And it is very rarely just about ageing.arthritis, autoimmune disease, gut health, inflammation, omega-3, digestion, nervous system, joint pain, immune regulation, functional medicine

Joint pain is often brushed off as a normal part of aging – but pain that interferes with your daily life doesn’t have to be something you simply live with. In this episode, we talk with Una Makris, MD, MSc, a clinical rheumatologist, about the common joint conditions affecting older adults and what actually helps. From movement and weight management to nutrition and physical therapy, she shares practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce pain and protect your joints. Learn how small, sustainable lifestyle changes can support mobility, independence, and quality of life at every age.

Most people think of a knee injury as a knee problem. You tear something, you rehab it, you move on. But the science tells a very different story — one where a single traumatic injury quietly drives cartilage degradation, cardiovascular impairment, and systemic inflammation for decades after the initial damage has "healed." I got a firsthand look at this when an MRI revealed two meniscus tears, a split MCL, and early-onset osteoarthritis in my left knee. That last one was humbling. I always assumed osteoarthritis happened to other people — older, less active people. Not someone who squats heavy and trains consistently. In this episode, Forrest Smith — CEO and Co-founder of Kineon Labs, a health technology company specializing in targeted red light and laser therapy devices — returns for his third appearance on the podcast. And the picture he paints of what happens inside an injured joint long after the rehab is over is sobering. For example, the NFL tracked over 3,500 players who'd returned to competition after knee injuries and found chronic inflammation still present 10 to 20 years later, despite world-class rehab.  Notably, the quads on the players' injured side ran one to two degrees colder, a sign of impaired cardiovascular delivery. And the risk of major cardiovascular events jumped by 50% – not because of the original injury, but because of inflammation that never resolved. That's the cycle most people don't know they're stuck in. And it's where laser-based photobiomodulation changes the equation. Targeted 808nm lasers can drop inflammatory markers like TNF-alpha and IL-6 by 70 to 85% within days. Once that chronic degradation slows down, chondroblasts — the fast-growing front end of cartilage — can actually proliferate and begin rebuilding the extracellular matrix. Slow the destruction on one side, accelerate the biology on the other. That's what "regrowing cartilage" actually means. Penetration depth is what makes lasers fundamentally different from LEDs. At five to seven centimeters of reach, you're dosing 10 to 100 times more tissue volume than a surface-level panel can touch. Then there's the other side of this that almost nobody talks about: the ibuprofen your doctor hands you after surgery. Research shows that 90 days of use increases heart attack risk by 48%, heart failure by 35%, and major coronary events by 75% — while actively impairing the collagen and fibroblast function your body needs to heal. It's doing the exact opposite of what most people assume. If you've ever dealt with a joint injury, chronic inflammation, or just assumed over-the-counter painkillers were harmless, this one's worth your time. About Forrest Smith: Co-Founder and CEO of Kineon, a health-tech leader who spent 18 years in China building hardware startups and mastering the local supply chain. A lifelong athlete and CrossFit enthusiast, he founded Kineon after developing a portable, medical-grade laser device to treat his own chronic knee pain.  Website: https://kineon.io/blogs/authors/forrest-smith  [Discount Code] Use code MKUMMERMOVE for 10% off the Kineon Move+ Pro:  https://michaelkummer.com/go/kineon Learn more: Kineon Move+ Pro Review: https://michaelkummer.com/kineon-move-plus-review/ Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Joint Pain and Arthritis: https://michaelkummer.com/red-light-therapy-for-joints/  Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva!

Your body doesn't need a complicated reset. It needs more movement today and fewer hours spent frozen in the same position.Amy sits down with Dr. Dan Ginader, a physical therapist and author of The Pain-Free Body, to talk about why so many pain issues stem from long stretches of stillness rather than a lack of effort. Drawing from his work in sports therapy and his one-on-one clinical practice, Dr. Dan explains how consistent movement often matters more than perfect exercise plans. Whether the goal is pain management, injury prevention, or long-term wellness, the most effective approach is choosing exercise you actually enjoy and will repeat.The conversation brings clarity to common issues many people quietly live with. Dr. Dan explains restless leg syndrome and why symptoms tend to surface at night, unpacks how neck pain often starts in the shoulders or from poor desk setup, and reframes arthritis as a normal part of aging rather than a life-limiting diagnosis. From sports therapy and youth injury prevention to simple health tips you can use at home, the focus stays on moving more, supporting your joints with strength, and building habits that fit real life.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Meet Dr. Dan Ginader, Physical Therapist And Broadway Sports Therapy Specialist07:30 Daily Movement For Wellness, Pain Management, And Injury Prevention09:30 The Best Exercise For Long-Term Health And Consistency12:30 At-Home Exercises For Back Pain And Mobility15:30 Restless Leg Syndrome: Causes And Relief20:30 Neck Pain, Shoulder Strength, And Desk Setup Fixes30:30 Arthritis, Joint Pain, And Strength-Based Movement39:00 Sports Therapy And Injury Prevention For Youth And AdultsConnect with Dr. Dan Ginader:Follow Dr. Dan on TikTok @dr.dan_dptFollow Dr. Dan on Instagram @dr.dan_dpt⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Joint pain is a common concern in pediatric practice. If a child is limping after sports or describes vague aches and pains, it often points to a minor injury or a self-limited condition. But in some cases, joint pain may signal something more serious. The challenge for pediatricians is knowing how to distinguish benign, mechanical causes from symptoms that warrant further evaluation. In this episode, we explain how to identify red herrings versus true red flags in pediatric joint pain. While awaiting a rheumatology referral, we'll talk about what primary care pediatricians can do in the meantime to support children and families facing the possibility of arthritis.    This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor at the 2025 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference in Denver, Colorado. Angela Chun, MD, is the associate program director for the Division of Rheumatology at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. She is also an assistant professor at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.  Some highlights from this episode include: The most common reasons for joint pain in children Understanding juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and how it presents Common pitfalls that may lead to misdiagnosis What providers can do in their offices before a referral  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doctors of Physical Therapy Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom debunk the myth that deep squats are harmful to the knees and discuss their impact on knee health. They trace the misconception to outdated research and review recent studies showing deep squats are generally safe and beneficial for healthy adults, supporting overall knee health. The hosts discuss knee biomechanics, the importance of gradual progression, and individualized modifications. They emphasize that deep squats support functional movement, joint health, and knee health, even for those with knee pain, and encourage listeners to challenge old beliefs and approach squatting with confidence and proper technique.VivoBarefoot Discount:Support your feet and ankles with VivoBarefoot shoes—with perfect styles for any occasion!
