The Science Behind Joint and Cartilidge Repair : 1554

Dave Asprey talks with research microbiologist Kiran Krishnan about the science of cartilage repair and joint health. They explore why joint degeneration often begins silently, how damage to the endothelial glycocalyx impairs blood flow and prevents natural repair, and the role of nitric oxide in circulation, muscle function, and longevity. Krishnan shares clinical trial results on a Boswellia- and celery seed-based supplement that suggests cartilage regeneration may be possible even in advanced osteoarthritis. The conversation extends to practical strategies like post-meal walking, the cephalic digestive response, functional strength over muscle size, and emerging postbiotic research for bone health in menopause.
