The Ravitz Way Episode 10 Best Kept Secret in Medicine: Physiatry & Sports Medicine Explained with Dr. Amy West

In this episode of The Ravitz Way, I speak with Dr. Amy West, a physiatrist who is doing ground breaking work and research with women in sports. We discuss many topics including some of the differences in men and women in sports including hormone effects, and why the mechanics of the hips of women put more stress on their knees. I learned so much in this episode. For example, there is evidence that women experience more sleep disturbance for some of their cycle, and that there are times in the cycle when there may be more laxity in their joints. We speak about concussion rates of certain sports and how it could relate to neck stability. I had the opportunity to learn about knee injuries, frozen shoulder, and how metabolic derangements play a role in joint injury. Dr. West discusses some of the various scans we have available to learn about body fat versus muscle. We also touch on nutrition and the truth about where these guidelines come from. She also reiterates how important it is to move and how to continue to live an active life where you can enjoy the things you like to do. I couldn’t agree more. Leave a comment and thumbs up!

The Ravitz Way Episode 9 - Alternative Medicine for Chronic Migraine Relief - With Dr. Oliver Grover

This week on our podcast, we talk about acupuncture with Dr. Oliver Grover, DC, MS. Join me, your host, Dr. Risa Ravitz, as we delve into how east meets west from his acupuncture and chiropractic training to treating people with chronic and acute illnesses. We speak a lot about how my medical practice overlaps with things he learned in his training. Dr. Grover has extensive experience treating patients with conditions such as migraine, neck pain, low back pain, chronic pain and sleep. I was surprised and very happy to hear about the methodology behind the why and how he treats things, and the holistic approach of dealing with illness. He shed light on the “holistic approach” involving looking at the whole body when dealing with a specific part of the body, something that we sometimes don’t focus on in western medicine. I enjoyed this conversation and learned a lot about what these modalities have to offer patients. Tune in to learn more and subscribe to the channel to learn more about health and wellness!
