About this show:
Does everything hurt and you feel like you’re in a ‘down hill from here’ phase of life?
Nope. You need this week’s show if those thoughts have been creeping in!
Enter Dr Jocelyn Wittstein, M.D., an associate professor of orthopaedic surgery at Duke University School of Medicine. She has been in practice since 2010 and is fellowship trained in sports medicine. She’s a clinician researcher with NIH funded research in ACL injury, sex differences in ACL injury, and cartilage health and she also studies the intersection of women’s health and musculoskeletal health. I grilled her for as much as we could get through in an hour for us.
We unpack:
🦴 The big players behind musculoskeletal pain and degeneration
💥 How to prevent issues before they start – osteoperosis & arthritis are NOT inevitable
💫 How to heal and rebuild when things go wrong
She’s one of the key voices revealing the estrogen–frozen shoulder connection and pioneering better musculoskeletal care for women through sports, midlife and beyond.
It’s one hour that could change how you move — and how you age.
Tune in and share it with every woman and girl you know so we can change the story! 🎧
Enjoy the show,
Alexx Stuart
Founder of Low Tox Life and the Low Tox movement
