Your cartilage has no nerve endings, so you won't feel it disappearing until the damage is already done.

In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I treat arthritis in my own clinic: not with a steroid shot and a goodbye, but with a whole-person framework built over 27 years of orthopedic practice.

Too many women are told to "act their age" and stop moving when their joints hurt. That advice is a cop-out, and it's wrong. Arthritis, especially the kind that shows up fast in midlife women, has root causes we can actually address. I'm breaking down my exact seven-step approach, from hormone optimization to biologics to knowing when a joint replacement is the right call, so you can stay on the ball field instead of sitting on the sidelines.

What we cover:

- Why estrogen loss accelerates cartilage breakdown in midlife women.

- How glute, quad, and hamstring strength protects your joints.

- Why balance and proprioception training matters with arthritis.

- How anti-inflammatory nutrition reduces arthritic pain.

- When cortisone and hyaluronic acid injections actually help.

- How body recomposition eases joint pain.

- Why PRP and stem cell dosing matters for biologic healing.

- When total joint replacement is the right call, not a last resort.
