The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown Joint Recovery Without Surgery: Regenerative Medicine with Dr. Jeff Gross
Everyone wants to stay active and pain-free, but most people are only shown one path when their body starts breaking down. Manage symptoms or get surgery.
Dr. Jeff Gross’s story challenges that assumption. After years as a board-certified neurosurgeon working inside an insurance-driven sick care system, he grew frustrated watching patients pushed toward invasive procedures they did not always need. That frustration eventually led him out of the operating room and into regenerative medicine.
In this conversation, we break down how non-invasive treatments like stem cells and exosomes actually work, why they are often misunderstood, and how they support the body’s own repair process instead of chasing short-term relief. Dr. Gross explains why exosomes drive repair, why targeting the bone matters for cartilage health, and why sleep, protein, and lifestyle habits play a role in recovery.
If you are dealing with joint pain, disc issues, or declining mobility and want to avoid unnecessary surgery, this episode offers a smarter framework for long-term recovery and staying active. Tune in now.
