Recurring injuries are often not just about bad luck, poor form, or one wrong movement. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Stefi Cohen, Doctor of Physical Therapy, strength coach, entrepreneur, and world-record powerlifter, to explain why injuries keep coming back and how training load, tissue capacity, recovery, and pain science all shape long-term healing.

They discuss why active people often experience recurring back pain, shoulder injuries, and training setbacks even when they are doing “the right exercises.”  This conversation also covers the role of deadlifts, lifting technique, efficient movement, early injury management, shoulder pain red flags, regenerative medicine, PRP, prolotherapy, peptides, and practical ways to build a stronger, more resilient body. 

If you are an athlete, coach, clinician, or active adult trying to recover from injury, train smarter, and prevent setbacks, this episode offers a clear framework for improving performance while respecting recovery.

Orforglipron is a new oral GLP-1 medication for weight loss, and many patients are asking how it compares to injectable options like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones is joined by Dr. Kris Wusterhausen to explain what orforglipron is, how it works, and where it may fit in the future of medical weight management.

They discuss why this oral GLP-1 is different from traditional peptide-based therapies, including how small-molecule medications may affect absorption, dosing convenience, and patient accessibility. The conversation also covers what current research shows about weight-loss results, blood sugar changes, cardiovascular markers, side effects, contraception considerations, surgical precautions, and long-term use.

If you are curious about orforglipron, oral GLP-1 medications, weight-loss drugs, metabolic health, muscle preservation, or how these therapies compare with injectable GLP-1 options, this episode offers a practical, clinically informed overview of the benefits, limitations, and unanswered questions.

AI in medicine is rapidly changing how doctors analyze symptoms, review lab results, evaluate research, and make clinical decisions. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers, a board-certified anesthesiologist and interventional pain specialist at BioReset Medical, to discuss how artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping the future of healthcare.

They explore why doctors should view AI as a clinical assistant rather than a replacement, and how emerging tools may help improve diagnostic support, patient education, research discovery, clinical workflows, and personalized medicine. The conversation also addresses the risks of AI in healthcare, including overreliance, bias, incomplete context, accountability, and the importance of keeping trained clinicians at the center of medical decision-making.

Hormone optimization goes beyond testosterone and estrogen. In this episode of the Optimization Academy Podcast, Dr. Greg Jones talks with Ashley Madsen, PA-C, about why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, low libido, weight changes, poor recovery, and perimenopause concerns often need a deeper, more personalized approach.

They discuss why testosterone levels are dropping in younger men, why many women’s hormone symptoms are dismissed or misunderstood, and how stress, sleep, toxins, lifestyle, body composition, and metabolic health can affect hormone balance. Ashley also breaks down common misconceptions around testosterone therapy, estrogen, progesterone, peptide therapy, genomics, and longevity medicine.

If you’ve been searching for answers around low testosterone, perimenopause, fatigue, brain fog, weight resistance, hormone therapy, or recovery, this episode offers a practical look at what may actually be driving those changes, and why symptoms, labs, lifestyle, and personalized care all matter.

Neuropathy treatment often falls short—and this episode explains why nerve pain persists even when tests appear normal and medications don’t deliver real relief. In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Stephen Matta, a triple board-certified physician specializing in regenerative medicine, to uncover what’s often missed in the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathy. In this episode, you’ll learn what neuropathy really is, why standard tools like EMGs can miss underlying nerve dysfunction, and how chronic inflammation, poor blood flow, and structural issues contribute to ongoing nerve pain. Dr. Matta breaks down why medications like Gabapentin may only mask symptoms instead of addressing root causes—and what a more comprehensive, functional approach looks like. We also explore advanced treatment strategies, including ultrasound-guided hydrodissection, peptide therapy, regenerative injections, and full-body assessments designed to restore nerve function. Through real patient cases, Dr. Matta explains how identifying the true source of nerve irritation can lead to meaningful improvements in pain, mobility, and quality of life.If you’re dealing with neuropathy, nerve pain, tingling, or unexplained symptoms—or you’re a practitioner looking for a more effective framework—this episode provides a practical, science-informed roadmap to approaching nerve health differently.📌 Dr. Stephen Matta Dr. Matta is a triple board-certified physician in Primary Care, Non-Surgical Orthopedics, and Stem Cell Therapy. He is a master diagnostician who specializes in anti-aging, orthopedic pain, and functional medicine, using cutting-edge holistic therapies such as ultrasound-guided regenerative injections, osteopathic manipulation, acupuncture, IV nutrient therapy, and ozone therapy.
