Regenerative & Sports Medicine - #17
Dr. Ryan Fowler grew up in West Virginia where he completed his undergraduate from West Virginia University and Medical school from Marshall University. He is Board Certified in Family Practice and completed a Sports Medicine Fellowship. He is also Board Certified in Integrative and Holistic Medicine and believes Holistic Health helps get to the root of the problem, to improve and maintain the body’s condition, allowing it to achieve optimal health.
After graduating from medical school Dr. Ryan joined the Navy, traveling around the world, including a humanitarian deployment throughout Central and South America. He gained valuable experience treating the US Marine and US Navy Warriors, enabling them to get back into the field faster. In addition to treating Marine warriors, he also treats weekend warriors, and has experience with pediatric musculoskeletal injury, adult joint pain, and elderly osteoarthritis. He found his way to the regenerative medicine field which has shown the ability to improve the MSK structure and thus give greater function to patients with acute injuries or even chronic pain problems.
His medical practice is called Equilibrium Holistic in Temple, Texas, where he resides with his wife and their 3 young sons.
In this episode, Dr. Fowler shares his wealth of knowledge explaining the different integrative, holistic approaches he successfully uses in his practice to avoid surgery when possible. He talks about PRP injections, stem cells and the importance of resistance training and nutrition to support a strong musculoskeletal system, which includes your bones, tendons, muscles, soft tissue and ligaments. He also shares with us his views on the future of healthcare, his practice’s membership based model and why we should look at health insurance and private functional medicine practices differently.
