Find that giggle in life | Dr. Kevin R. Stone

As we get older, how can we still enjoy a runners high or exercise-induced euphoria, while being careful not to get injured? Dr. Kevin R. Stone is an orthopedic surgeon, the founder of the Stone Clinic in San Francisco, and author of Play Forever: How to Recover from Injury and Thrive. With a passion for helping patients play until they drop, Dr. Stone is redefining what it means to maintain a high-quality, active lifestyle across the decades. In this conversation he challenges the conventional idea that aging necessitates a retreat from high-impact sports, emphasizing instead how new therapies can extend athletic longevity, including his clinic's latest findings on delaying or avoiding knee replacements. He also advocates for a new exercise mindset, replacing workouts with playouts and a need to "find that giggle in life."Transcript and additional show notesDISCOUNTSSupport the showThe Live Long and Master Aging (LLAMA) podcast, a HealthSpan Media LLC production, shares ideas but does not offer medical advice.  If you have health concerns of any kind, or you are considering adopting a new diet or exercise regime, you should consult your doctor.
