#115: Pain Management and Aging Well with Dr. Akash Bajaj

Nonpharmacologic/nonsurgical interventions for pain relief….. What are they?

Did you know they might be your best option for managing your chronic back/hip/joint pains?

Dr. Akash Bajaj is our guest today.  He does an amazing job of explaining and simplifying the pain management process. Dr. Bajaj has THREE board certifications! He started off completing an Anesthesiology Residency and then specialized in Pain Management to address chronic pain issues in patients. Years later he realized that many patients reached a plateau with traditional therapy models. This piqued his interest in Functional Medicine/Anti-aging to treat and PREVENT chronic ailments and issues with aging. 

Most of all he emphasizes how important MINDSET is to the healing process! Get your lifestyle right and prevent ailments, instead of nursing them back to health!

Topics we cover today:

1: What doctors are best for helping with chronic pain , what options are available, what are the most helpful, and when is it time to seek alternative therapies?

2: How does functional Medicine play a role in pain management? 

3: What is the role of functional Medicine for helping the body rejuvenate, heal and thrive?

4: How can hormones, diet, lifestyle and supplemental new therapies optimize your health?
