The Future of Spinal Injury Treatment | Dr Gregory Lutz

**Dr. Gabrielle Lyon** (0:02)
Welcome to The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent conversations. Thank you In this episode of The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, I sit down with Dr. Gregory Lutz. He is the Founder and Chief Medical Officer of the Regenerative SportsCare Institute, Physiatrist and Chief Emeritus at Hospital for Special Surgery and a Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University. He is an absolute pioneer in regenerative medicine.
Dr. Lutz has co-authored more than 60 scientific publications, including the first double-blind randomized control trial study demonstrating the clinical efficacy of intradiscal platelet-rich plasma therapy. Dr. Gregory Lutz is absolutely first class and phenomenal. He has a new book out called Heal Your Disc and Your Pain, How Regenerative Medicine Can Save Your Spine. I was mind-blown by this episode. It was totally different than I had anticipated. I learned so much. Here's what you're going to learn. That the spine has its own microbiome and understanding the microbiome of your spine can impact the way you heal, how back pain is curable, how to find a regenerative practitioner, what regenerative medicine is, and how it can be used to save your spine and ultimately change the way in which you live. This episode is one of the more fascinating episodes because it is absolutely information that is under the radar. If you or someone you know has back pain, you must listen to this episode. If you like the show, please rate, subscribe, share it. This is how we grow. I appreciate it. We'll be choosing certain reviews to highlight. Again, I appreciate your time, energy and effort. Thank you so much. Let's go. Thank you to Element for sponsoring this episode of the show. That's Element and it's spelled L-M-N-T. I wanna tell you about an experience that I had. Now, I love Element. I drink it all the time. Sometimes I go through two packets a day. I've recently been in a moving packing spree. And you know how there's kind of random packets of things. I don't know if there is for you, but there definitely is for me. The random packet.
I could not throw out my Element packets. So I threw it in with random box of clothing. I'm sure I'm gonna find little surprises of Element packets throughout my house because I did not want to throw out any of Element. How do I use it? I use it post-training. I use it in the morning. It is a great electrolyte solution with no junk in it. It has 1000 milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium, 60 milligrams of magnesium. It is formulated to help anybody with their electrolyte need. So if you are one of those people that sit on the sofa and randomly contract your hamstring or your calf, not that I'm one of those people, but I might be, and then it immediately cramps up, potentially you have not been drinking enough fluids and replacing the right kind of fluids like electrolytes. So do not be in that position. When you sweat, you do have to replace not just water, but also some of the other electrolytes.
This is why I love Element. You can head on over to drinkelement.com/dr. Lyon. That's drinkelement.com/dr. Lyon and get your eight single serving packets free with any order. Now a word from our sponsor, BetterHelp.
That's better H-E-L-P, and what could be better than getting better help.
Again, just coming in hot with the jokes. Here's why BetterHelp is great. We have to take care of our mind if we're so focused on taking care of our body.
One does not exist without the other. I've gotten therapy. I recommend therapy all the time to my patients. It is critical.
It is just as important as everything that you are doing, like exercise and nutrition and sleep.
How our brain works is pivotal. So what are you gonna do? Number one, if you're going through something, you shouldn't go through it alone.
We're more disconnected than we've ever been, and this is where BetterHelp comes in. BetterHelp is an online therapy, offers video, phone, even live chat.
Only, so you can do a live chat only therapy session if that's what you feel the need to do. You don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to. It is very affordable. It's much more affordable than an in-person therapy session, although those are great too. You can be matched with a therapist in under 48 hours. Listen, you don't get any medals for suffering in silence and suffering alone. I definitely don't recommend it. Our listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com/dr. Lyon. That's betterhelp.com/dr. Lyon. It is an online therapy support. It is extremely helpful. Again, do not suffer alone. Head on over to betterhelp.com/dr. Lyon and get 10% off your first month. Greg Lutz, welcome to The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show. I'm really excited to have you on because you are a regenerative expert. And people are very unfamiliar, I think, in general about regenerative medicine. And it's really a very proactive approach to healing. And I'm just going to read a little bit about you.
