Redefining Medicine with special guests Dr William Seeds and DWTS dancer Maks

Today's episode on Redefining Medicine illuminates the relationship between William Seeds, MD and his long-time patient: world-renowned celebrity dancer Maksim (Maks) Chmerkovskiy, from the popular TV show “Dancing with the Stars.” With experience treating athletes from across the globe, Dr. Seeds has consulted on DWTS—an initiative that began after he met Maks, and the two began their journey together. Not the typical doctor-patient relationship, Dr. Seeds and Maks have an intimate, personal friendship imbued with gratitude and mutual inspiration. As Maks discusses his personal journey of injury and competition, he and Dr. Seeds detail how Maks was able to resurrect his career on one of TV’s hit shows, and ultimately tour the United States with one of the country’s most successful dance troupes. This interview not only reveals the protocols behind Maks’s recovery through the application of peptide therapies, but also a unique relationship between two men infused with humility and humor.
