Join Dr. Pinkston and her esteemed guest, pharmacist and expert on anti-aging and metabolic health, Jim LaValle, as they dive into the science and benefits of Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation. They discuss how this non-invasive therapy works by utilizing specific wavelengths of light—ideally in the mid-600s and mid-800s—to stimulate collagen synthesis (for improved skin and anti-aging), boost nitric oxide production (for better circulation), and enhance ATP production (for increased cellular energy and mitochondrial health). LaValle explains how the different wavelengths penetrate tissues, with the shorter waves targeting the skin and the longer, near-infrared waves (800s) penetrating deeper to help with inflammation, muscle soreness, and overall cellular repair. The discussion also covers: Optimal usage (timing and frequency) and best forms (whole-body beds/blankets vs. panels/masks). Potential benefits for conditions like fibromyalgia, post-exercise recovery, and skin issues like psoriasis. Crucial supplements to combine with red light therapy for maximized benefits, including NAD+ boosters (like Nicotinamide Riboside), CoQ10, Magnesium, collagen peptides (with Vitamin C), and Methylene Blue (USP grade). Important warnings, especially regarding photosensitizing medications and pre-existing conditions. New diagnostic tests, like the MeeScreen, for assessing mitochondrial health. Learn how integrating this contemporary tool with foundational nutrition and lifestyle changes can improve longevity, vitality, and help you live The Better Life.

Collectively, the results of this study position A. conyzoides as a promising, safe, and well-tolerated adjunct or alternative to current pharmacological approaches. Further investigations of longer duration and larger sample sizes, incorporating imaging measures, are warranted to confirm efficacy.A plant commonly known as "billygoat weed" (Ageratum conyzoides) has a long tradition of use in ethnomedicine for a wide range of conditions, including rheumatism, inflammatory pain, fever, and headaches.Building on this history, a recent 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study investigated its effect on osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms in ageing adults. The study included 70 adults aged 45 and older with clinically diagnosed osteoarthritis. Participants were given either 250 mg of a special pyrrolizidine alkaloid-free A. conyzoides extract or a placebo to take daily for 12 weeks.Researchers found that the group taking A. conyzoides had statistically significant reductions in their total WOMAC scores (a measure of pain, stiffness, and function) compared to the placebo group at both week 9 and week 12. Pain scores, measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), were also significantly lower for the supplement group at weeks 9 and 12.Furthermore, the A. conyzoides group showed significant improvements in quality-of-life domains related to pain and role limitations due to physical health. The supplement also significantly reduced plasma levels of two inflammatory markers, IL-6 and IL-8, compared to placebo. The study concluded that A. conyzoides supplementation is a safe and effective option for reducing osteoarthritis symptoms.3.

In this video, I share my personal experience with low-dose radiation therapy for osteoarthritis and inflammatory knee pain — a treatment with a long history in Europe that's now being re-examined in the U.S. as a safe, evidence-based option for chronic orthopedic pain. Low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) involves the use of very small, precisely targeted doses of radiation — typically one-tenth or less of what's used in cancer treatment — to reduce inflammation and modulate immune response in joints, tendons, and soft tissues. Research has shown that these low doses can help relieve pain and improve mobility, often providing durable results without the side effects of steroids or long-term medications. I'm joined by Dr. Sanjay Mehta, Radiation Oncologist at St. Joseph Cancer Center in Houston, to discuss the science behind this therapy, its mechanisms of action, and the clinical outcomes we're seeing today for conditions such as: • Osteoarthritis • inflammatory knee pain • Plantar fasciitis • Tennis elbow • Shoulder and joint pain You'll also see a glimpse of my own treatment session, as we explore how this “old yet new” approach is helping patients regain comfort, function, and quality of life — without medications or surgery.

Osteoarthritis is the reason for 25% of primary care doctor visits and affects 80% of all adults over the age of 50. In this episode, you'll find out:—How Osteoarthritis is more of a "wear and tear" form of Arthritis that deteriorates the joints, while Rheumatoid Arthritis is an Autoimmune Disease where the immune system attacks the joint.—The symptoms of Osteoarthritis. And how some of the worst Osteoarthritis cases no longer have any pain, but can't move due to the increased stiffness.—The crucial importance of proper Chiropractic alignment to keep joints from wearing down. And why you should even have your children checked annually.—The advanced X-Ray imaging used at Holistic Integration where X-Rays are read by one of the top Radiologists in the world.—Why the medical treatments for Osteoarthritis, like NSAID's and steroids, will actually destroy the joints and worsen the Osteoarthritis long-term.—How the Disease Care/Medical model says that Osteoarthritis is something that cannot be cured, but Structure-Function Care is actually able to reverse the deterioration. —The Decompression treatment that pumps the fluid and nutrition into the joints and can actually reverse the Osteoarthritis.—Why Dr. Prather says that Acupuncture is "absolutely great" for Osteoarthritis, which can provide immediate relief from the pain.—The many natural supplement options at Holistic Integration that are helpful for Osteoarthritis, which actually work better than the drugs and pharmaceuticals. And the topical herbal liniments used at Holistic Integration that are "extremely effective" and "can make all the difference in the world".—Why a 5-day food rotation diet can be "a critical aspect of someone's care" with severe Osteoarthritis.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a limb realignment surgery which is intended for people who have medial compartment osteoarthritis (OA), but are not suitable candidates for total knee replacement due to younger age, less severe disease and greater physical demands. The aim of HTO is to correct alignment, thereby shifting load away from the more involved knee compartment and limit progression of knee OA.On this week's episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Dr Trevor Birmingham and Dr David Parker to discuss high tibial osteotomy surgery, who it is suitable for and the risks involved.Professor Trevor Birmingham is a physiotherapist and Canada Research Chair in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada. He leads research on musculoskeletal health, often combining clinical outcomes with biomechanical, imaging and biological measures in cohort studies and randomized trials. He co-directs the Wolf Orthopaedic Biomechanics Lab at the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic and is a founding member of the Bone and Joint Institute and the Collaborative Graduate Training Program in Musculoskeletal Health Research at Western University. Dr David Parker is an experienced orthopaedic knee specialist and co-founder of the Sydney Orthopaedic Research Institute (SORI). He is passionate about sport and is actively involved with international orthopaedic and sports medicine organisations and has extensive experience with athletes of all levels from recreational to elite. Dr Parker has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications and many textbook chapters and has been awarded the Australian Orthopaedic Association Prize for Research.

This week's episode is in honour of Frank Beier, who recently passed away on July 18, 2025. Frank leaves behind a remarkable legacy through the impact he made in the field of osteoarthritis. In this previous episode (2021), he discussed the recent advances in osteoarthritis understanding with a particular emphasis on novel targets and epigenetics.Despite the large prevalence of osteoarthritis, there is no clinically approved drug which provides a cure. Currently, drugs focus on relieving symptoms such as pain. Experiments done in the laboratory have provided insight on osteoarthritis onset and progression and will likely guide therapeutic development. We know that osteoarthritis is a disease of the whole organ meaning that any of the tissues involved in the synovial joint can be affected. The interplay between the various cell types involved is complex and understanding the interactions between cartilage, bone and synovium may be critical to therapeutic development. Skeletal development likely plays a very important role in predisposition to disease. Through the identification of serious pathologies such as various forms of dwarfism (what in medical terms are called chondrodysplasias) the role of transcription factors and epigenetics is increasing our understanding of disease genesis.The study of the epigenetics of OA - the mechanism by which the human genome alters it's gene expression (without changing the primary DNA sequence) has provided valuable information on novel risk factors for the disease and are potential therapeutic targets for OA.RESOURCESJournal articlesNuclear receptors as potential drug targets in osteoarthritisInterplay between genetics and epigenetics in osteoarthritisRecent developments in emerging therapeutic targets of osteoarthritisCONNECT WITH USTwitter: @ProfDavidHunter @jointactionorgEmail: hello@jointaction.infoWebsite: www.jointaction.info/podcastIf you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe to learn more about osteoarthritis from the world's leading experts!

Episode 425 of Friends Talking Nerdy brings a mix of personal stories, pop culture news, and some nerdy life lessons, as Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into a surprisingly wide range of topics.The episode opens on a more serious and personal note as Professor Aubrey shares her recent experience discovering she has osteoarthritis. She walks listeners through how she first realized something was wrong, the symptoms she noticed, and the red flags others might want to watch out for if they're dealing with similar aches and pains. Their discussion ties into an article from Psychology Today—“Arthritis: The Secret Pain of Gen X Women Today” by Dr. Deborah Carr—framing the conversation not just around Aubrey's health, but also around the larger, often under-discussed challenges many Gen X women are facing with arthritis.From there, Tim the Nerd reacts to the passing of actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner. His candid response captures the shock and sadness of losing a performer who was such a fixture of pop culture.Shifting gears, Tim the Nerd then dives into the surprising news that CBS is pulling the plug on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and opting not to renew Colbert's contract. He offers his perspective on what this decision means for late-night TV as a whole, and how the changing media landscape might reshape the format entirely.Professor Aubrey lightens things up by recounting Tim's latest run-ins with one of the show's feline mascots, Annie. The banter captures the joy and occasional chaos that comes with living alongside strong-willed cats.Finally, Tim takes a closer look at the Rachel Zegler controversy from earlier in the year, comparing it to the Gina Carano situation at Disney that the podcast covered previously. He explains why he agrees with parts of what Zegler said, but not the way she expressed her opinions, stressing the importance of speaking up on issues while also being thoughtful about how those opinions are delivered.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

This week, we conclude a two-week series on the 4 areas of pain: Analgesia, Activities of Daily Living, Adverse Effects, and Aberrant Behavior. In this episode, you'll discover:—Why Dr. Prather says "the only way to fix pain" is through Structure-Function Health Care, while the Disease Care approach focuses on the symptoms of pain.—The best effectiveness for the Disease Care approach of pharmaceuticals on a short-term basis or end-of-life care, but not for long-term or chronic pain issues. —How the long-term effect of opioids is actually…more pain. And the physiology behind how opioids actually destroy the body's natural opioid receptors.—The shocking story behind how the pharmaceutical industry lied about the addictive nature of opioids. And why Dr. Prather describes them as "SOB's"!—Dr. Prather's solution to the opioid crisis through natural, non-drug therapies that actually heal the body. And how Homeopathy, Acupuncture, and Auriculotherapy help patients overcome their opioid addiction without suffering from the terrible withdrawal symptoms that have even driven people to suicide. —How the long-term effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) is that they actually CAUSE Osteoarthritis. And how NSAID's not only destroy your joints, but your Liver and Kidneys as well. —The natural alternatives that are more effective than NSAID's for Osteoarthritis, which is the #1 reason people take NSAID's. And how these "really great" alternatives actually HEAL the Osteoarthritis, in addition to taking down the pain.—The Decompression Therapy at Holistic Integration that helps REVERSE the arthritis in the joints, which can be confirmed in follow-up X-Rays. —How the long-term effect of steroids is the destruction of the joint, plus negative effects on the Endocrine System. And how studies have shown that 85% of Orthopedic surgeries are unnecessary and should have been dealt with through natural care first.—Why the first steroid shot is where a patient will have their best results. And why Dr. Prather believes you should be hesitant to get a third shot and says "forget it" to any shots after that because it will only make things worse.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

This week, we kick of a two-week series on the 4 areas of pain: Analgesia, Activities of Daily Living, Adverse Effects, and Aberrant Behavior. In this episode, you'll learn about:—The government-commissioned study that actually concluded the Structure-Function approach to pain was the best way forward…until Big Pharma scuttled it.—How the Structure-Function approach to health care focuses on healing the body and correcting the root cause of the pain, while the Disease Care approach focuses on controlling the symptoms of pain.—The proper short-term or end-of-life role for prescription pain relief like opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).—Why proper alignment through Chiropractic Care should be the first place to go when looking for pain relief. And how Corrective Exercises and Chiropractic work so much better when combined.—How 80% of the first-responders for the 9-11 disaster suffered from PTSD, but only 20% of those first-responders had PTSD if they were treated with Auriculotherapy (Ear Acupuncture). —Why Dr. Prather says his office is "pretty much 100% successful" when treating migraine headaches.—The amazing effectiveness of Acupuncture in immediately relieving pain, including severe abdominal pain associated with polycystic ovaries and menstrual cramps. —The 5 pathways of pain that guide Dr. Prather's approach to pain relief. —The natural products used at Holistic Integration that are more effective than prescription drugs in reducing pain and without the dangerous side-effects. And how Glucosamine and Chondroitin are more effective than NSAIDs for Osteoarthritis. —How Parkinson's and Dementia patients can see incredible improvements of symptoms through proper alignment of their Atlas and eliminating the forward head posture.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
In this episode, host Kym McNicholas and guest co-host Dr. Michael "Misha" Ginsburg" entertain a discussion on innovative treatments for hand and wrist osteoarthritis, featuring both embolization and orthopedic perspectives. Dr. Yuji Okuno, founder of the Okuno Clinic and pioneer of the “Okuno Method,” will share insights on his groundbreaking approach to treating osteoarthritis pain. Since first reporting his technique in 2012, Dr. Okuno has transformed arthritis management by targeting abnormal blood vessels in pain-producing tissues rather than using conventional approaches. The Okuno Method stands out for its ability to address the root cause of osteoarthritis pain with minimal recurrence, normal tissue repair, and no restrictions on daily activities post-procedure. Dr. Assaf Kadar brings the orthopedic surgeon's perspective to the conversation. As a clinical and academic leader in hand and wrist biomechanics at the HULC bioengineering lab, Dr. Kadar specializes in developing new suspensionplasty hand and digit devices. He'll provide an overview of the orthopedic approach to hand osteoarthritis and discuss the potential role of hand embolization in the treatment spectrum. This episode offers a rare opportunity to explore both interventional and surgical approaches to hand osteoarthritis treatment. #TheHeartOfInnovation #Embolization #OsteoarthritisTreatment #HandPain #OrthopedicInnovation #globalpadassociation #padhelp #osteoarthritis #okunomethod

Story at-a-glance Osteoarthritis develops slowly from cartilage breakdown in weight-bearing joints, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune attack that causes rapid, symmetrical joint inflammation Morning stiffness lasting over an hour, fatigue, and fever indicate rheumatoid arthritis; brief stiffness that improves with movement suggests osteoarthritis instead Rheumatoid arthritis typically strikes small joints symmetrically (both wrists, hands) while osteoarthritis affects single joints like knees, hips, and spine asymmetrically Eliminating inflammatory vegetable oils, boosting vitamin K2 intake and sipping bone broth help rebuild cartilage and reduce joint inflammation naturally Supporting mitochondrial health calms autoimmune inflammation by increasing your body's natural "off switch" for inflammatory responses and joint damage
