Mammograms cause breast cancer thus making their use problematic. There are ample other avenues of detection that do not involve radiation. Your lifestyle choices may trump all of this and put you in a different risk class entirely.

There are incredible non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques to restore joint health and avoid surgery. We will explore Dr. Bianco’s path and experience in this amazing field of joint restoration and offer you simple steps that you can engage to ease pain.

Upfront summary:

1. Modern technology such as stem cells and exosomes allow us to accomplish results that weren’t available 10 years ago.

2. You can rebuild, restore and regenerate joint health in ways that surgery cannot, such as restoring cartilage.

3. Everyone over the age of 50 has some degree of arthritis but not everyone feels pain. Having arthritis and having pain are not synonymous.

4. We are going to discuss the differences between these injection therapies:

· PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma, an older technology using your own growth factors.

· Stem cells & exosomes offer a huge magnitude of difference over PRP and supply true healing power.

· Prolotherapy – stimulates the body’s natural repair process.

· Ozone stimulates 3 modes of action: mitochondrial energy, detoxification, and immune system stabilization and support. It also works to animate stem cells for repair.

5. Adjuncts that support and amplify these injection therapies:

· Peptides – BPC-157 is a natural occurring protein that stimulates a sharp rise in repair molecules VEGF, Factor VIII, collagen, and CD34.

· Glucosamine & Chondroitin – stimulates chondrocytes to generate new cartilage and create hyaluronic acid for lubrication.

· MSM – antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, makes cartilage stronger.

· Boswellia & Curcumin – reduce inflammation like NSAIDS but without the side effect and danger.

· Joint & Body Collagen (HippEvo) – Fortigel and Tendoactive are proven elements to strengthen joints and reduce inflammation.

· Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber at Huber Personalized Medicine – doubles the speed of repair for a quicker return to action.

· Red light laser therapy – mitochondrial stimulation to augment repair energy

Chelsea acquired her degree from the University of Kentucky and spent the early years of her career as the regional dietitian for Lifetime Fitness. At that time Dr. Huber was contracted to providing monthly education to the trainers on weight loss, exercise, and the path for engaging an integrative approach to health. Chelsea joined Dr. Huber’s practice in 2013 and went on to develop a corporate health program that she currently operates with great success. Chelsea has expanded her knowledge base into the full spectrum of integrative medicine which includes adrenal fatigue, thyroid balance, hormone balance, heavy metal detox, allergy therapies, and more. Her well rounded view of health allows her to see medical issues that are often overlooked by narrow focused specialists.

Chelsea was asked to respond with brief answers to the top 10 nutritional questions that impact your health. This was intended to be a quick hit, rapid fire discussion and not an in depth analysis of all of this issues but we will let you be the judge as to whether we hit the mark. Have fun and enjoy our lively romp through food.

Food and nutrition is essentially very simple but if you want to make it complicated you can. When you look for modern processed convenience you are inviting complications and problems. There is no ONE perfect diet – you can eat Vegan or Carnivore and everything in between and find good health if you know what you are doing. There is no ONE SIZE fits all but there are trends that hold true: Low carb is usually best, healthy fats support longer life, fasting in general is a great tool. How you apply all of this is individualized and this is where the confusion creeps in.
