🙌 to Craig Walsh for a powerful piece in the @nytimes on the ACL injury crisis in girls’ sport. We’re seeing the same pattern here in the UK. The good news? Many ACL injuries are preventable.
@PowerUpToPlay we move prevention from research to real training sessions.

As we hit January 1st & inevitable New Years resolutions, it's probably a good opportunity to acknowledge that if you have osteoarthritis, weight loss (diet, exercise..... semaglutide? 😜) & optimising your metabolic health are the 2 most important things you have control over to improve your symptoms
Throw in some regular strength work (in any form that engages you & helps you cope better with your work, hobbies & life in general)
Educate yourself about your condition from reliable resources, then educate others & help bust myths ('bone on bone'? so what, of course you can still exercise)
Sleep
And you are giving yourself the best chance of avoiding a slide towards unpredictable injections & surgery
And even if your symptoms do still continue to slide, then you can head into arthroplasty with your head held high
You don't have control over your genetics, previous trauma / surgery, the way you are biomechanically designed / aligned (within reason), so get over it.....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🎇🎇🎆

What people think is stopping their fat loss that likely isn't:
❌Slow metabolism
❌Hormones
❌The perfect pro/carb/fat ratio
❌Specific nutrients
What is more likely stopping progress:
✅Lack of accountability
✅Overeating on weekends
✅Unaccounted calories
✅Inconsistency

What happens to the bone, labrum, capsule & iliopsoas tendon during arthroscopic surgery can increase the risk of failed hip arthroscopy. This month's blog explores why & the importance of being aware of what happened during surgery.

Protein myths vs facts
❌Myth: You can only absorb 30g protein per meal
✅Fact: Protein absorption depends on the individual protein source but there is NO SET CAP for absorption based on intake
How much of that gets used for lean tissue synthesis is a seperate question

Over the last 2 years, I've read A TON of threads on osteoarthritis.
95% of them weren't worth the time.
If you're looking to learn, let me point you in the right direction.
Here are the 8 threads I keep in my bookmarks (that will teach you A TON):

Sleep is one of the most-commonly overlooked aspects of health, wellness & longevity. It took me a long time to understand the importance of sleep. I completely ignored it early on in my career, likely to my detriment.
