Muscle Loss and Chronic Musculoskeletal Conditions Make Recovery from Any Chronic Disease Nearly Impossible

The Clinical Reality No One Talks About
check
Muscle releases signaling molecules protect your brain, strengthen bones, modulate insulin, and create anti-inflammatory states.
check
Insufficient protein intake prevents patients with chronic diseases from recovering.
check
Bone loss releases decades of stored mercury, lead, and arsenic directly into the bloodstream.
check
When patients are injured and stop moving, microbiome diversity declines within just 2-3 days.
check
Movement is necessary to heal leaky gut, dysbiosis, insulin resistance, and persistent depression.

CLASS OVERVIEW

Musculoskeletal conditions hinder recovery from chronic illness. Clinicians must know how to manage them.

Chronic musculoskeletal issues limit mobility and promote a sedentary lifestyle. This can impact recovery from complex conditions, accelerate the aging process, and promote the development of chronic diseases.  As a clinician, you must be able to effectively manage chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Chronic musculoskeletal issues limit mobility and promote a sedentary lifestyle. This can impact recovery from complex conditions, accelerate the aging process, and promote the development of chronic diseases.  As a clinician, you must be able to effectively manage chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

The Triple Threat Sabotaging Patient Recovery

Reduced muscle mass and accelerated muscle aging are bigger problems than many people have ever realized.  As a clinician, you need to know how to identify early sarcopenia, muscle metabolism dysfunctions, and rapid muscle aging. More importantly, you need to know how to address them.

A joint injury or arthritis can lead to impaired mobility and trigger a vicious cascade that can lead to the development of chronic disease.  An explosion of research provides us with strategies to help regenerate joint cartilage, which is essential for clinicians to know.

Osteoporosis is likely to happen in most people as they age and is associated with bigger problems than the risk of fractures.  As a clinician, you must understand how to incorporate dietary, lifestyle, and nutraceutical strategies to support your aging patient population.

Did You Know...

Osteoporosis releases stored lead, mercury, and arsenic into the bloodstream, resulting in various health problems.
When people lose bone mass, they also lose bone marrow volume, which can impact immune function.
One of the body's most powerful anti-inflammatory reactions is the release of myokines from healthy muscle tissues.
Physical activity promotes microbiome diversity more powerfully than any probiotic, thanks to myokines.
Joint cartilage can be repaired and regenerated through various new clinical innovations.
The bacteria in periodontal disease can generate antibodies that attack and destroy joint tissue.

Invest 6 hours to learn evidence-based approaches to arthritis, osteoporosis, and muscle disorders...essential for chronic illness recovery

Dr. Kharrazian has been treating patients with chronic conditions for over 25 years.

In this course, Dr. Kharrazian simplifies the complex pathophysiology of chronic bone, joint, and muscle conditions into simple steps that you can use to personalize effective treatment strategies for your patients.

★★★★★

Dr. Kharrazian developed comprehensive evidence-based models to treat autoimmune, neurological, and unidentified chronic diseases based on his profound understanding of human anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, a unique ability to synthesize and explain complex concepts, and his extensive clinical experience. I highly recommend Dr. Kharrazian’s non-pharmaceutical personalized programs, based on diet, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine.
