Heal Your Joints Naturally
What if joint pain wasn’t “wear and tear” but a reversible inflammatory process?
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth about the groundbreaking science behind inflammation, healing, and how to prevent joint degeneration—long before surgery ever becomes necessary. From peptides and hormone optimization to red light therapy, ketones, and cutting-edge treatments like pentosan polysulfate, Dr. Yurth helps us understand how to turn our bodies into healing machines and age powerfully from the inside out.
Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, MD, is passionate about healing at the cellular level through advanced medical science. As the Chief Medical Officer of Boulder Longevity Institute, she’s been delivering cutting-edge care since 2006. With over 30 years in sports and spine orthopedics, she is trained in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Yurth is also a global speaker and founding member of the Seeds Scientific Research and Performance Institute.

(04:44) Why the “wear and tear” theory of arthritis is outdated—and what’s really going on.
(07:59) How hormones like progesterone and testosterone are critical for injury recovery.
(09:27) The science behind peptides for joint healing.
(14:11) The breakthrough drug pentosan polysulfate and how it may be a cure for osteoarthritis.
(26:41) How low-dose aspirin and omega-3s help switch the body into healing mode.

This episode is for you if:
– You have joint pain, stiffness, or early arthritis and want to understand how inflammation—not “wear and tear”—may be driving it, and how to reverse the process naturally.
– You’re interested in cutting-edge, non-surgical solutions like peptides, hormone optimization, red light therapy, ketones, and breakthrough treatments such as pentosan polysulfate.
– You want to protect your joints as you age and learn how to heal, recover, and stay active by turning your body into a regenerative, healing machine.
