In 2021, I could barely stand on my knee, much less run, and multiple sports medicine doctors and orthopedic surgeons told me I had arthritis and significant knee cartilage degeneration, and the only way out was surgery (and even that might not work). Join us on this podcast to discuss Dr. Cook’s unique approach to restoring youthfulness to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. We also discuss his experience with long COVID, his approach to vagus-nerve resets, and many other goodies related to regenerative medicine. Dr. Cook is a board-certified anesthesiologist who shifted his career to regenerative medicine over a decade ago. He is a global thought leader, educator, and innovator in regenerative medicine, combining cutting-edge, non-surgical medicine and integrative care to harness the body’s natural healing power. Those who have worked with Dr. Cook know he is one of the best in the field, specializing in advanced treatments ranging from stem cell therapy to peptide protocols. He is one of the most knowledgeable doctors I know, and as one of the most popular guests I've interviewed, this marks his 9th appearance on the show. Dr. Cook graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine, completed his residency in anesthesiology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and completed fellowships in Anti-Aging, Metabolic and Functional Medicine, and Peptide Therapy with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/bioreset-peptides After a decade focused on functional medicine (with 14 years prior working as an anesthesiologist), Dr. Cook's specialty is addressing the most challenging conditions. His proprietary multimodal approach regenerates, repairs, and restores health on a cellular level, dealing with root causes rather than masking symptoms. This work has led him to create BioReset Medical and BioReset International, two organizations built on the mission to widen access to restorative medicine around the world. https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/bioreset-peptides https://bioresetinternational.com/ BioReset Medical offers treatments for conditions such as chronic pain, orthopedics, complex illness, anti-aging and wellness, Lyme disease, PTSD, mycotoxin illness, cognitive impairment, and musculoskeletal injuries, especially for professional athletes (use code BEN10 to save 10% on your consult). BioReset International locations offer additional top-of-the-line regenerative products and medical treatments not available in the U.S. Dr. Cook leverages minimally-invasive treatments, believing that the body can heal itself naturally when supported by the best technology and care. While humanizing the doctor-patient relationship, he is able to assimilate a patient’s complex health history and develop highly specialized treatment plans integrating the best of what both functional and regenerative medicine have to offer.
