In this episode of The OrthoZone, Dr. Hunt sits down with fellow sports medicine surgeon Dr. Wang to explore the rapidly evolving role of nutrition and supplements in orthopedic care. Together, they dive into how targeted nutritional strategies and supplementation can enhance surgical recovery, not just for elite athletes, but for everyday patients as well. They break down how nutrition and supplements are being used to support healing, optimize outcomes, and personalize recovery plans, drawing from both the latest research and their experience in their own practice.
