Your Plate is Your Fate: Part 2 with Dr. Steve Hughlett

Repair Not Replace: Natural Joint Relief with Dr. Marc Pietropaoli

In this episode of In Good Company, we sit down with Dr. Marc Pietropaoli, Founder & CEO of Victory In Motion, regenerative medicine pioneer, and fellowship-trained sports medicine orthopedic surgeon, for a powerful conversation about knee pain, arthritis, regenerative medicine, and why the future of orthopedics may be less about replacing joints — and more about helping the body repair itself. Dr. Pietropaoli shares the story that shaped his mission: as a medical student in 1991, he asked whether there was a way to repair a knee instead of replacing it. That question was dismissed at the time, but it eventually became the foundation for his work, his book Repair Not Replace, and his Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement™ approach. Together, we explore how the current health care system often focuses on symptoms instead of root causes, why patients are frequently rushed through short appointments, and how a more complete, proactive approach can change outcomes for people dealing with chronic joint pain. In this episode, we discuss: • Why knee pain and arthritis are affecting people earlier in life • The difference between treating symptoms and finding root causes • Why “time is the secret sauce” in patient care • How regenerative medicine may help people avoid or delay joint replacement • The role of inflammation, nutrition, strength, and movement in joint health • What people should know before choosing knee replacement surgery • Misleading claims in the regenerative medicine space • Why Dr. Pietropaoli believes the body’s ability to heal is more powerful than we often realize Dr. Pietropaoli also explains how his team uses a whole-person approach that may include imaging, regenerative therapies, PRP, bone marrow aspirate cells, laser therapy, nutrition, strength training, and physical therapy to help patients improve function and get back to the life they want. Whether you are dealing with knee pain, arthritis, joint problems, or simply want to better understand the future of proactive health care, this conversation offers hope, education, and a fresh perspective on what may be possible.

Your Food, Your Sleep, Your Future: How Diet, Fasting, Stress, and Rest Shape the Way We Age

What does it really mean to age better? In this episode of In Good Company: Age Better, John Ray, Spencer Ernst, and Alex Wallace have a candid conversation about the daily habits that shape long-term health, from diet and intermittent fasting to exercise, sleep, stress, inflammation, and the struggle to stay consistent. The conversation moves beyond quick fixes and fad diets into the real-life wake-up calls that make health personal: injuries, weight changes, late-night snacking, screen time, anxiety, and the realization that what works for one person may not work for everyone. Along the way, the guys talk about OMAD, Mediterranean-style eating, carnivore and keto experiences, the importance of professional guidance, and why sleep may be the foundation that makes everything else possible. This is a candid, practical conversation about taking accountability before health problems force the issue, and why the best time to start aging better is today. #AgeBetter #InGoodCompany #HealthyAging #WellnessJourney #IntermittentFasting #BetterSleep #NutritionMatters #MentalWellness #Inflammation #HealthyHabits #Longevity #HealthAndWellness #StressManagement #DietAndLifestyle #LifestyleMedicine

The Next Step Up From Organic with Little Farm Store Association: Rene Cleveland & Ryan Goolsby

What if the problem with our food system isn’t a lack of food… but a lack of real nutrition? In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Goolsby & Rene Cleveland from the Little Farm Association to explore what’s really happening behind the scenes of modern food—and why more people are turning back to local farms. We dive into: Why “organic” doesn’t always mean what you think The difference between industrial, organic, and regenerative farming How our food system became focused on volume over nutrition The connection between soil health, food quality, and human health And how local food networks could be the future of healthier communities The Little Farm Association is building a different model, connecting consumers directly with local farmers through a simple online marketplace, bringing fresh, transparent, and locally produced food right to your doorstep. Instead of navigating multiple farms or limited farmers markets, members can access products from dozens of local producers, choose exactly what they want, and have it delivered—all while supporting small farms and keeping food dollars in their local community.
