Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter offers practical health-empowerment advice: seek open-minded specialists (including those offering regenerative care), educate yourself about metabolism and aging, reduce inflammation, and consider hormone replacement therapy and functional medicine principles. He emphasizes weight loss and healthier living as primary drivers of improved patient outcomes and frames "living well" as the best medicine.
Try to find a specialist who is open minded with you. I mean, there's great orthopedic surgeons the country over. I would say really try to educate yourself and see who's providing some regenerative care. Start to educate yourself on your own metabolism. Where am I at in my aging process? What can I do to help lessen the amount of inflammation my body? There's a lot of information on the Internet. They could go to your website. I mean, you have some great stuff. There's a lot of knowledge out there that I think it people aren't paying enough attention to. And so go find for yourself that hormone replacement therapy can be a big benefit to you. Functional medicine principles can be a big benefit. Getting yourself healthier and losing weight is probably the most significant thing we do for patients. Yeah, I believe that living well is the best medicine.
