The speaker (Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter) defines "holistic orthopedics" as a combined approach that pairs focused orthobiologic joint treatments (e.g., PRP, bone marrow aspirate/stem-cell injections) with full-body functional medicine to improve healing, reduce pain, and restore vitality. The program emphasizes hormonal balance, gut health, inflammation reduction, medically supervised weight-loss, and objective testing (serocortisol, sleep testing, gut health panels, food sensitivity testing) to guide treatment.

Chapters

The peak of wellness really is a balance and whole body wellness. If I'm going to be a surgeon, I want to improve healing for my patients. What is holistic orthopedics? It's a new and innovative approach to orthopedic care. Our goal is to improve our patients pain using focused joint treatments using orthobiologic therapies like prp, bone mar, aspirate under stem cell injections. Combined with full body wellness. We utilize a functional medicine approach combining bioidentical replacement therapies and options for medically supervised weight loss. But also we dig very deeply into gut health, hormonal balance, and overall inflammatory state. We work to balance hormones and habits using functional medicine providers to reduce stress and excess weight and inflammation. We do serocortisol testing, we do sleep testing, we do gut health, we do food sensitivity testing. We go pretty deep into the functional medicine realm. Then we work to restore energy and vitality.
