After Jennie Garth opened up to us about having hip replacements, we knew we had to bring back this conversation with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe, especially after seeing what happened with surfing legend Kelly Slater! Let’s just say he was back in the water, surfing those waves, just nine months after undergoing a robotic-assisted hip replacement performed by Dr. Snibbe. So what does that tell us about how far joint replacement has actually come? Listen and learn what Dr. Snibbe has to say in this throwback episode! Dr. Snibbe breaks down how robots are changing orthopedic surgery, whether they actually make procedures more precise, and what you should know before ever considering a joint replacement. But more importantly: can you prevent yourself from needing one in the first place? He reveals the everyday exercises that could be aging your joints, the movement he considers non-negotiable for longevity, and the prevention strategies and regenerative therapies that may help protect your hips and knees for years to come. So if  you’re dealing with joint pain now or simply want to stay strong, consider this your crash course in becoming the CEO of your joint health. Enjoy!
