41| Dr. Howard Luks: We Don't Treat X-Rays, We Treat People

Today we are joined by Dr. Howard Luks. Howard is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in sports medicine and has been the Chief of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy at New York Medical College for over 20 years.

Howard teaches us why it's important to not fear exercise, but rather to fear being sedentary. We dive into...

• How pain is a symptom of poor metabolic health
• Exercise is our best bet to combat poor metabolic health
• The truth about imaging
• Osteoarthritis and how to educate a client who is worried about harming the joints if they exercise or run
• Aerobic conditioning misconceptions
