Episode notes

The knees are designed beautifully. The cartilage in the joint is a brilliantly designed material. A ten pound weight loss can be up to 50 pounds one to three million steps per year. Picking multiple sports so that you don't become a one sport athlete. And it's worth noting that not everyone who would call themselves, which is an acceptable term in the body positivity community, struggles with their weight.

How do your knees feel? How do YOU feel about your knees? Buckle up to better your relationship with what some listeners call their most hated and contentious joint. Globally-lauded orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Stone agreed to sit on a porch and explain everything from cracking to popping, patellas to tendons vs ligaments, cartilage donuts, physical therapy, self-surgery, joint juices, sporty injections, cadaver tissues, pig legs, if weight has any effect on knee health, types of arthritis, bionic body parts, and if knees are really out to get us. Also if you’re still reading this description, this episode has some long-ass bizarre asides with some trivia that will haunt you. Meet… your knees.
