You may remember Zack from Episode 110 of The BibRave Podcast, and is a long-time friend of the BibRave crew. He has spent time specializing in Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, and currently is an Assistant Professor and Clinical Spine Research Director at the University of Utah.
The trio discuss some current trends in regenerative medicine - including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and stem cells - and instances where runners or endurance athletes may consider these treatments as alternatives to cortisone injections. We hear all about the pros and cons, FDA regulations or lack thereof, and who should consider this type of treatment. It’s a fascinating topic - you’ll definitely need your thinking caps.

If you’ve ever been fitted at a store, joined a group training run, or if you’ve NEVER set foot in a running store, there’s something to takeaway in this episode - so you won’t want to miss it.
