A short YouTube conversation (Nov 10, 2023) featuring Josh Trent and an unidentified speaker about links between traumatic tissue damage (example: ACL tears) and long-term cardiovascular disease risk. The speaker references a 3,500-player NFL study in which ~50% had ACL tears and those players showed >50% higher severe cardiovascular disease; attributes this to chronic, long-lasting joint inflammation that impairs endothelial function and arterial stiffness. Josh frames Kineon as an early intervention to address pain/inflammation and potentially reduce downstream cardiovascular effects. The speaker also notes a clinical observation that the quadriceps above an injured knee can be 1–2 °F (or °C—unspecified) colder than the contralateral side even 10 years post-injury.

Chapters

There was a 3500 player study with the NFL. The players, 50% had ACL tears, 50% had not. The 50% that had the ACL tears had a greater than 50% increase in severe cardiovascular disease. They looked for kind of the smoking gun for what's driving this. And what it came down to is you have increased chronic inflammation in that joint almost forever after that, traumatic tissue damage that doesn't really go away, and it doesn't stay local. It impacts and impairs your cardiovascular endothelial tissue. That's when you start seeing stiffening. That endothelial tissue can't expand and, and deliver blood as easily.
I feel like what Kineon is, is it's this answer. It's a Trojan horse for people to address the pain early so that they don't have to wait decades before it actually makes their.
Heart weaker. Yes, when we see somebody who's had an ACL tear as an example, they can be 10 years on. But when you measure the temperature of their quad above that unhealthy joint is 1 to 2 degrees colder than the one above their healthy joint.
