Can Turmeric Improve Your Recovery and Help with Pain Management? Get the Insider Scoop Here - Episode 23 Dr. Ravi Mohan Imperfect Progress with Anne Guzman

    • Education

Turmeric, it's more than just a spice to add flavor and color to your cuisine. In fact the evidence is starting to accumulate that turmeric reduces inflammation, improves  athlete recovery and can be as effective as Tylenol (paracetamol) in reducing osteoarthritis pain. 

I started using turmeric after a good friend recommended I try turmeric ginger shots a year ago. I was admittedly skeptical, but he swore it had significantly reduced his joint pain. As someone who lives with chronic neck pain, I was intrigued.

I started to learn that there were some data on turmeric and it's powerful capabilities and I wasn't alone in my experience. Although my experience is only anecdotal, I've noticed my improved post cycling recovery.

Turmeric falls more into the alternative medicine category, and it was important to me that I find an expert on the topic, since credibility is key for all of my podcasts. I was fortunate to have previously met Dr. Ravi Mohan and was able to invite him onto the podcast.

Dr. Mohan is a practicing physician in Canada. He has his PhD from Oxford University in Exercise Physiology and he has first hand experience in the benefits and turmeric as well as research on turmeric which he continues to do today.

Here are some of the things you'll learn today when you tune into the podcast:


The difference between acute and chronic inflammation
How turmeric impacts inflammation
Pros and Cons of different types of turmeric supplements (liquids/powder/extract/)
How to juice turmeric for optimal bioavailability
How often do you need to consume it?
What did studies on the NHL players show? What dose where they taking and how often?
Athletes and acute inflammation. Do we want to dampen it?
Does black pepper improve bioavailability?
Why combine ginger with turmeric? What are the benefits?
Prevention vs the band-aid approach
Dr. Mohan's thoughts on imperfect progress? Listen to what he has to say about his health, overcoming adversity and the importance of excellent relationships.
