I'm so excited to share my latest podcast episode featuring renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Alan Reznik. As someone who is passionate about healthy aging, I was thrilled to have the chance to pick Dr. Reznik's brain about how to keep our bodies feeling young and vital. 

In this info-packed discussion, Dr. Reznik covers everything you need to know about caring for two of the most important joints in our bodies - the knees and shoulders. With decades of experience performing surgeries and treating injuries, he shares his top advice for avoiding problems and managing pain. What I loved is that Dr. Reznik explains things in a way anyone can understand, with lots of vivid analogies that really drive his points home.

A few highlights from our conversation:

- The unexpected ways poor posture can lead to shoulder and rotator cuff issues

- Dr. Reznik's "sternum to the sun" tip for automatically improving posture 

- How to strengthen the small but crucial rotator cuff muscles

- The key role nutrition, exercise and sleep play in joint health

- When to see a specialist versus trying physical therapy

- Cutting-edge treatments like stem cells and 3D printing

- How to be a savvy health care consumer and get the care you need  

I was fascinated to learn from Dr. Reznik that our bones and joints actually reform based on the stresses and demands we place on them. That means we have more influence than we might think over their strength and resilience as we age. His holistic view of the body and how everything interconnects was truly enlightening.

If you or a loved one deal with ongoing shoulder or knee issues, this episode is mandatory listening. And the advice can help anyone be proactive about musculoskeletal health going forward. Please check it out and let me know what you think!
