    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!
