Hi friend
If you've ever been told your joint pain is just "wear and tear" from an active life, this week's episode may change how you think about it entirely.
I sat down with my dad, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, to dig into joint pain and osteoarthritis, conditions that affect over 35 million people in the U.S. alone.
His take surprised even me: the sports and workouts of your youth have almost nothing to do with the pain you feel today. The real drivers start on your plate.
In this conversation, we get into:
Why arthritis is not simply a wear-and-tear disease
How sugar, fat, and salt quietly damage cartilage from the inside out
Why NSAIDs and steroid injections can actually speed up joint destruction
The non-invasive regenerative therapies Dr. Fuhrman now uses to help people heal
Supplements that support real repair vs. those that just mask pain
Simple diet and movement changes that protect your mobility for life
The most hopeful part?
Your body is a self-healing machine.
With the right nutrition and support, joints can genuinely get better with age instead of worse.
