I recently joined Nailed It Ortho for a conversation on PRP, BMAC, adipose therapy, peptides, and the future of regenerative orthopedics.

We also discussed how Pravida Health is using data, imaging, labs, and precision medicine to help guide more personalized care decisions.

Thanks so much for having me on!

Think surgery is your only option for joint pain? 🤔
Not so fast.

In this episode, Mike sits down with Dr. Trevor Turner to break down:
✔️ The biggest myths about joint pain & cartilage
✔️ What actually works (and what doesn’t)
✔️ Biologics & regenerative treatments explained
✔️ The future of joint care

If you’re dealing with knee, hip, or shoulder pain… this is a must-listen.

I had the chance to join the Bob & Brad Podcast for a conversation about joint pain, cartilage, biologics, regenerative treatments, AI, nutrition, and the future of orthopedic care.

One of the biggest points we discussed: joint pain is not always “just wear and tear.”

Imaging matters, but it is only one part of the story. Function, inflammation, biology, movement, nutrition, and recovery capacity matter too.

If you or someone you know is trying to understand options before surgery, I hope this conversation is helpful.

Considering regenerative medicine for joint pain? Here are 5 questions to ask any provider before treatment:

What specific orthobiologic are you recommending, and why? (PRP, BMAC, and MFAT are different.)

Is the procedure image-guided? (Ultrasound guidance ensures precise placement.)

What does the evidence say for my specific condition?

How many of these procedures have you performed?

What does recovery and follow-up look like?

At Pravida Health, Dr. Turner specializes in minimally invasive, image-guided orthobiologic procedures backed by evidence and refined over a decade of clinical practice.

Is regenerative medicine backed by real evidence?

We get this question a lot. And the answer is: yes — with important nuances.

In our latest blog post, Dr. Turner breaks down the current evidence behind PRP, BMAC, and orthobiologic treatments — what the research supports, where the science is heading, and how to separate fact from hype.

Something different is happening in Buckhead.

CartiNova was built on a simple belief: most patients deserve more options than "surgery" or "just manage the pain."

We combine fractional laser technology, your body's own biologics, and objective performance data to address joint and spine problems at the tissue level — without surgery, without extended recovery.

If you or someone you love has been told knee replacement or spinal surgery is the only answer, we'd love to talk.

Can a simple blood draw slow down aging?

A new study in the journal Aging Cell suggests it might — and the results are far more comprehensive than you'd expect.

Researchers found that drawing a small amount of blood every two weeks (about 6% of total blood volume, with saline replacement) reversed aging markers across nearly every organ system in their animal models:

🧠 Brain function and memory improved
🦴 Bone density loss was reduced
🫀 Liver and kidney function markers normalized
💪 Muscle showed less age-related deterioration
🧬 Immune system shifted back toward a younger profile

The key finding? The anti-aging effect originated in the bone marrow.

The periodic blood draws stimulated the bone marrow's stem cell environment to "reset" — reducing inflammatory signals, restoring the balance between immune cell types, and producing blood with higher levels of protective factors like klotho and taurine.

Think of it this way: instead of trying to introduce "young blood" from an external source (like the parabiosis research you may have read about), this approach stimulates your own body to produce younger blood.

Interestingly, the every-2-week protocol worked better than weekly — suggesting the body needs recovery time between draws to achieve the regenerative benefit. This is a principle we see repeatedly in medicine: strategic stress followed by recovery drives adaptation.

At Health, we work with bone marrow-derived therapies daily and measure biological age through advanced testing. This study reinforces what we see clinically — the bone marrow is a central hub for how your body ages.

Important note: This was an animal study using an accelerated aging model. Human clinical trials are needed before this becomes a treatment recommendation. But the biological plausibility is strong.

Your body doesn't age randomly.

A landmark new study published in Science mapped how aging changes the "switches" that control your genes — across 21 different tissues and over 10 million individual cells.

What they found challenges what most people assume about getting older:

→ About 25% of all cell types shift significantly with age — and they shift in a coordinated way across your entire body. Your immune system, your kidneys, your muscles, your lungs — they're aging in sync, not independently.

→ With age, the molecular switches that promote inflammation open up, while the ones that drive repair and regeneration close down.

→ 40% of these aging changes differ between men and women — meaning a truly personalized approach to longevity has to account for biological s*x.

This is exactly why we take a multi-system, data-driven approach at Pravida Health. When we measure your biological age through epigenetic testing, we're looking at these same molecular switches.

Your biology is measurable. And as this research continues to show — it's increasingly modifiable.

Jumping back into activity after a slower winter season can feel great, but doing too much too quickly is one of the most common reasons spring injuries happen. If you notice persistent soreness that lasts more than a few days, swelling after activity, sharp pain with certain movements, or stiffness that limits your range of motion, your body may be signaling that it needs a more gradual approach.

Dr. Turner’s tip: Motivation is high in the spring, but progression should still be steady. Build intensity slowly, prioritize strength and mobility, and pay attention to early warning signs. Protecting your joints now helps you stay active all season long.
