Conventional medicine often addresses joint and tendon injuries by masking pain with drugs that can actually accelerate tissue decay over time. However, in the last decade, we’ve made great strides in regenerative medicine—offering treatments that can restore joint health, regrow cartilage, and make tendons and ligaments more elastic without surgery or pharmaceuticals. The challenge is that traditional healthcare systems are tied to insurance reimbursement models. This episode will explore regenerative options like shockwave therapy, ozone, PRP, and stem cells, helping you choose the right path for lasting musculoskeletal health.

If a substance is natural, it's unlikely to make it into mainstream medicine. If it can’t be patented or turned into a highly profitable product, it often gets overlooked—such is the case with ozone. Despite its remarkable healing properties, ability to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and its benefits for joint regeneration and immune support, ozone isn’t widely used. Medical-grade ozone, used in anti-aging and regenerative therapies, can help the body heal without surgery or toxic drugs, making it an essential tool in holistic medicine.
