Joel Fuhrman, MD - Recovery Nutrition: Figuring out the How and What

When it comes to food, it’s nutrients, not calories that really count.

‘Calories in – calories out’ is the motto of most fitness enthusiasts and those who want to lose weight. But there are things that are way more important than only calories – the nutrients. And not just the ‘macros’ popularized by gym culture, you know, carbs, protein, and fat – it’s micronutrients that matter.

When we talk about health and healing it’s important that we focus on those (as well as getting enough calories in so that the body can recover). Because remember, healing an injury, especially a difficult one is not the time for any diets.

Dr. Joel Fuhrman has been at the forefront of the nutritarian approach to eating for decades - and besides being a six-times NYT best-selling author, he’s advised professional and Olympic athletes, lectured to athletic trainers, and world-class athletes about maximizing performance in preventing injury. 

In this detailed talk about eating for true health and ‘play-span’, you’ll discover: 

• In what ways the diet differs for people who are injured in those who are not. 
• How to make a dietary plan for your recovery. 
• What to do when you’re diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis after a fracture. 
• What combination works really well for the patients who suffer from fibromyalgia. 
• How to avoid tendon pain and complications by taking care of diet.
