LA Shoulder Podcast | Episode 9
Welcome back to the LA Shoulder Podcast, where we sit shoulder to shoulder with the experts! In this episode, Dr. Reza Jazayeri, MD (orthopaedic sports surgeon, founder and formulator of Xcelerated recovery) & Grey Hunt (XR COO) return for an in-depth conversation on the latest in patient care, surgical recovery, and performance optimization.

In this episode, we dive into key takeaways from the International Consensus Meeting on Musculoskeletal Infections in Istanbul, and why screening nutritional and metabolic factors before surgery is becoming so important. We break down the idea of a “Metabolic Report Card” — looking at vitamin D, albumin, lipids, hormones, and A1C — and explore how better nutrition and smart supplementation can support recovery and reduce complications. Plus, we connect the dots between athletic performance research and surgical healing, and take a look at what’s next in orthopedic biologics and clinical studies.

Episode Chapters:
00:00 Intro
00:37 Background
01:28 topic 1
12:10 topic 2
18:45 Summary
3:00:02 Outro
