In this episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, Dr. Joel Fuhrman joins his daughter Jenna Fuhrman to unpack what may truly drive joint pain, cartilage damage, and osteoarthritis — and why the answer has less to do with your old sports injuries than you think.

Together they explore why exercise may not be the primary cause of joint degeneration, how nutrition shapes joint health, and why Dr. Fuhrman believes addressing the root causes of inflammation is essential for long-term mobility. He breaks down how cartilage actually receives its nutrients, the role of diet in keeping joints healthy, common misconceptions about arthritis, and why simply masking pain may not protect your joints over time. They also dig into emerging regenerative therapies, lifestyle habits, and nutritional strategies that support the body's natural healing.

Whether you're living with arthritis, managing chronic joint pain, or looking for evidence-informed ways to protect your mobility as you age, this conversation offers a fresh, thought-provoking take on keeping your joints healthy for life.
