This is a conversational YouTube interview (Dec 5, 2023) with Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter focused on integrating hormone considerations into orthopedic practice. In the provided excerpt the interviewer asks why hormones matter in orthopedics; Dr. Schacter begins explaining that metabolic processes and hormonal status influence joint healing—relevant both for non-surgical and less-invasive regenerative treatments.
Let's talk about hormones for just a minute because that's one of the things that you brought into your practice. So why why have you started thinking about hormones in an orthopedic practice?
If you think about the metabolism and the things that we need to do to heal a joint, even when we're not doing surgery, if we're doing some of these less invasive methods that we.
Have, if we're going to use the.
Body'S own ability to heal itself, like if we're going to use PRP or regenerative care, like stem cell treatments, then we want that body to be as healthy and optimized as possible. And the hormone cascade is really part of that. You know more than anybody that our hormones really impact the way our body ages and matures, if you will. So one of my theories and a lot of the research that I sort of direct myself towards is what happens with chronic inflammation in hormone deficiency.
