A Functional Medicine Approach to Osteoarthritis - #27

What if wear and tear on our joints and cartilage had nothing to do with the aging process? Chronic inflammation wreaks havoc on our overall health, including the health of our microbiome, bones, joints, cartilage, muscle and tendons. Lifestyle and genetics are the two big players. In this episode, Dr. Yurth MD, co-founder and Medical Director of Boulder Longevity Institute, breaks down old medical myths surrounding the aging process and osteoarthritis. She suggests that changing our mindset in relation to osteoarthritis, sports and exercise injuries and the healing process is crucial moving forward. Dr. Yurth offers cutting edge healing options using both functional and regenerative medicine approaches.

Dr. Yurth explains how inflammation works in the body, why hormonal balance is a key component to mitigating osteoarthritis, especially for aging women going through menopause, and how nutrition and other lifestyle factors are the building blocks for a healthy body. She shares regenerative medicine protocols to healing sports and exercise injuries including peptide therapy, PRP injections, stem cell therapy, and A2M, a master protease inhibitor to relieve pain.
