RUNNING AFTER SAYING "NO" TO A HIP REPLACEMENT - Proof you can rebuild your hip joint
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- This is a quick clip of me running again, a year after being scheduled for a hip replacement but turning the surgery down. Instead I treated myself at home with a combination of approaches; the osteoarthritis dissappeared and the cartilage repaired itself. The magic of nutrition, supplements, inflammation management, exercise, rest and extreme patience!

Thank you so much for sharing your information. This gives me hope. I had a bad fall 3 yrs ago & have steadily declined in my mobility. The pain has been brutal 24/7. The docs are fixated on R hip needing replacement. There was no problem prior to the fall. I was running, cycling, skating, dancing. They are frustrated with me because I won't agree to jump in line for surgery. I keep saying that I know my body can heal without surgery. Your information is priceless in guiding me along that path. I hope & pray that I will be mobile once again. I ran, skipped, bounced everywhere & now I have to walk like a troll lol. It has been so demoralizing & distressing because I am barely able to accomplish basic indoor tasks, let alone yard work/gardening. I will implement your steps to healing. So happy for your wonderful recovery.
@elle8895 Wow, that's awful, I really hope you can make this work for you like I did, it takes time and patience - and knowledge. Pls watch my other videos relating to this issue, and read the video descriptions and check for links to other material (research articles and videos by sports surgeons, etc) - Andrew

I know exactly how you feel! I Have had such hip pain the last 9 months! I used to do gymnastics (when I was younger) & dance. Now I have to limp around... pain is so crazy that I am exhausted & can't think straight. ShapeFixer is such an inspiration. I'm starting my journey today. I wish you well on yours. Hopefully we'll both be bouncing around soon! 😊❤
I currentlu have Hip OA which is bone on bone very thin cartlidge and yes I am suffering, I started the anti inflamatory diet with suppliments 3 days ago including swimming, I will update my situation and how effective this treatment is, I always believed that humans are the best hospital system ever created and everything is reversable.
Hi Andrew
Really enjoying your content. I’m a man rapidly closing in on his 66th bd. In the last few years I’ve undergone bi-lateral (both knees) knee replacement after crippling osteoarthritis in both knees for many years. I’ve also had rotator cuff shoulder joint surgery. Now I’m just a few days away from having hip replacement surgery. After watching your YT videos, I’ve decided to postpone my scheduled surgery and adopt the dietary changes that you talk about. Hip pain has been crippling and has drastically reduced my physical activity… I weigh 300 lbs and I’m as miserable as sin.
I will implement the lifestyle changes that you talk of. Wish me luck
All the lucjk in the world my friend, and well donme for giving it a go! Let us kow how you progress - Andrew
So inspiring. Couldn't have come at a better time for me. I am thrilled for you. You look great and so happy.
@user-kh3nc4kl2n I hope you went on to watch the full video of my story - Andrew
@@shapefixer Yes, I saw it and the x-rays. I didn't need to see the x-rays because I knew you were right. I have managed to heal other conditions by not going the standard-of-care route. I am so happy with your progress.
Like wise as I was eventually informed about a couple of years ago that I would at some point need a hip op & might also need paim killing injections!
Well done Sir
WOW absolutely amazing, as I hobble around with a very bad left hip and knee and now traveling to my right hip. My first course of action was to lose weight, which didn't help at all. Then only veg, chicken and fish, still no relief. Then on to the supplements, I realize they take time. Now introducing the carnivore/lion diet, and feeling some relief. I hope after a few months, my cartilage will recover, I enjoy eating fatty red meat.
Knees over toes guy ,on you tube.please watch. Ore than one of two.
Thanks shapefixer , that demonstration really validates your claims, the main reason I asked for the demo is due to fact that 12months ago I was doing poorly health wise, so after watching inspirational videos on UA-cam I changed the way I was eating and my hip improved, I thought I was lucky and didn’t associate my changed eating habits to the improvement mainly because it took sometime for the hip to improve. Your video and physical demonstration has convinced me that lifestyle and eating habits can solve a
joint problem, like mine. So thank you for the info and the demonstration. I will definitely keep on looking for great advice to improve myself. Regards
Brilliant thanks 👍👍👍 Fantastic Andrew. How long you can keep up with replying to comments like you do, I don't know, but I'm glad I found you early in your UA-cam venture. Not many UA-cam Influencers produce such great content and give such thoughtful replys to comments. ❤
@maxfactorone Hey Darol, I don't know either, but I'm going to keep trying, this is important. And thanks for the kind words - Andrew
Nice recovery! Thank you for the demonstration after one year metabolic therapy.
You are a hero!❤
I’d like to see your X-rays of the hip before and after. Nobody has ever regrown their cartilage as far as I know. Can you do a video showing your X-rays.
Stanford medical research has some published work on cartlidge regrowth. You can search on it. I tried to put the link here, but it kept getting erased
@@peterbedford2610 Looked it up. It was tried on mice , no humans. Like I said, nobody has been shown to have regrown their cartilage so your claim is quite extraordinary, but extraordinary claims require proof. I’d love to see your before and after X-rays to prove you have actually regrown cartilage in your hip. That would really be something.
vets have been regrowing cartilage on animals joints for years,,,,

@@helenb6936 Thanks for the heads up. Pretty interesting.
I’m scheduled for hip replacement in a couple months. Just found you and listened to your story. Very encouraging! I am willing to do whatever it takes to avoid surgery!
Give it a try Jackie, you have nothing to lose and this has worked for so many people (just scroll through some of the comments) - Andrew
You have encouraged me greatly! Thank you! I will just be happy to walk well, but you are running! Awesome! 67 with bone on bone and bone spurs from Lyme disease and high Oxalate diet! Now 11 months on Carnivore! Already walking better! Determined not to have surgery!
Well I'm in a bit of a similiar place to you as I would informed a couple of years ago that I would eventually need a hip op & might also need pain killing injections! I've also got a Compromised Immune System due to past work place exposure to toxins, for which I got no help for that as they never wanted to get involved😥So I had to find a private Dr who specialises in this field, not only for a diagnosis but also for a medico-legal report! Good to hear that the carnivore diet is working for you, as for some it can cause a histamine reaction:-(
So impressive & encouraging. Thank you
Hats off brother, I’m currently on the same journey. Not completely there yet but only been doing it for four months. Incredible relief so far, looking forward to running a 5K next spring.
Keith this is great to hear, thanks so much for taking the trouble to comment!
Thank you for your information
I have the same problem with my hips
You are my inspiration
I am from Poland
Greatings
Good for you Roman, give it your best!
Gives me hope - thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
We appreciate your words of wisdom..thank you..awesome run..😊👍
Thanks much!!! You’ve REALLY motivated me. I’m 69 and have been eating the way you suggest for many years, but now I will focus on those exercises and add the right supplements. You’re an answer to prayer.
❤❤ SUCH an inspiration! Saw one of your videos last night. I started my journey today. I immediately switched from coffee with LOTS of sugar to tea with honey. And of course I will be eliminating other foods & beginning intermittent fasting. 😊 Thanks for the info!! ❤
This is a journey as you say. Along the way you will need to ditch the honey too, as that is pretty much pure sugar, but it'll come naturally as you lose the sweet tooth - Andrew
Have you tried a bullet proof coffee? Even though I'm a bit sensitive to caffeine I'm able to do a Green Tea bullet version
You are really strong man and thanks for inspiring!
Thank you for your videos They told me I to needed both hip replacements. No way was i going to do that. Its been 4 years on crutches slowly its healing. Your video has motivated me more.
I’m bone on bone ROM is limited but improving watched your longer video on diet . I hope it’s possible to get back to a normal life a fake hip brings many issues such as dislocation, infection, loose stem , prosthetic failure or premature failure, possibly blood clots and of course no jumping and if you run on it you will shorten its lifespan
Andrew - I'm doing so much better- I'm overcoming the hip replacement. I believe the body repairs itself !
Your Story gives me hope also. Im osteoarthritis shoulder grade 4 anterior and want to regenerate my shoulder also. Sport addict strength sports all my life. I hope I can do it same like you did!
I wish I had know this information before I had a knee replacement .
At least now I know how to heal the rest of my body.
Its never too late to improve what we have !
Hi Andrew, for 12 years I suffered through the pain of bone on bone in both knees. I had tried literally everything I could find to avoid TKR surgery, however last year I couldn’t take the pain any longer and had the Stryker system of artificial joints installed. The result has been wonderful as I can now join in and enjoy family stuff again. I am a tradesman of 45 years and thought I ate very sensibly, i thought that I had just worn my joints out from being very active. Anyway my left hip has been sore for many years as well and I was told recently that I need a hip replacement, this was devastating after what I had been through. About 4 weeks ago I came across your video regarding hip repair and at first I thought yeah right here we go another BS video but I watched and listened to your advice and decided right then to give it a go. What have I got to lose right. Let me tell you something, after 3 days I had no need for the Mobic tablets I was on, the pain in my hip was gone, I mean bloody gone. Two weeks later my wife and I stayed at my sister in laws and I said nothing about my new dietary needs as I didn’t feel comfortable requesting special food for one night. We ate pasta,lasagne,garlic bread and olive bread. Two days later I was in pain again which was a good lesson as I know you were right about the cause of inflamation. I intend to stay on the protein and see where I get oh and by the way I wake up feeling sharper and I don’t get as tired as I used to at the end of the day. Thank you
Thank you so much again. You are Inspirational to me Sir. Giving to People justified hope is something of immense value
Hello Andrew
I am very happy that you have had such great results and talk about your issues in a manner that promotes hope for all.
I have been having PVC issues over last 15 years. I have done the cardiologist route in the beginning but like yourself decided natural way or no way. For the majority of people with heart issues like myself I have tried and continue too try almost anything to stop these racing beats which can last from 1minute to an incredible 7 hours. Sometimes I have nothing for 1 week thinking I found a solution only to do something as simple as taking a cup out of the cupboard and bang we are away to the races(literally)
So what’s my point, well just to those of you with similar problems there is one item that has been a major relief and that is acceptance. It comes from acknowledging that we are all unique and what works for you to any small way is worth sharing and giving us all hope . So thank for that Andrew and if someone says eat three dung beetles only found on a remote island somewhere I will most likely try it.
Good luck to you all
Sending love
Did you see his electrolyte video? I started taking potassium and my resting heart rate is lower. Just started this tho, so time will tell
"Of course you can run again" as my surgeon iterated, but he also said "i will be replacing it in three years instead of 12 years
Hmmm... i had a surgeon tell me in 2003 I could never ride a bike again. So i didnt, until 2010. Then I started again. In 2014 I came 6th at world champs in duathlon over50 age race. Its 2024 now, Im 60 and I still run and cycle all the time. So go figure.
I just ran across your video on rebuilding your hip. I am bone on bone with my hip, waiting daily to get called in for hip replacement. I'm jumping in with both feet to your recommendations. If there are more details I should be aware of, please guide me in the right direction. Thanks
I'm assuming you've seen some of my other videos now? Like the INflammation one, and the Autophagy one? - Andrew
Thank you, yes I have. Does the type of collagen ie. Type 2,1,3 make any difference? I've read it needs vitamin A, C, zinc, copper and manganese to be fully effective?
You had arthritis? I am a 26 year old girl and after taking a lot of corticosteroids during Covid I have avascular necrosis of the head of both femurs. I did a surgery in fact, but no hip replacement although the doctor suggested that. But there was also another option, injecting stem cells taken from my own body. After surgery I also did physiotherapy but I still have pain. I have extra weight in my body and I eat the worst foods, as I am so addicted I cannot explain it. Fast foods, pizzas, crepes, nutella, coca cola, enery drinks. Fried potatoes. Every day I eat at least one of these. And I also lead a very passive lifestyle. I did a MRI 2 months before and there was a lot of edema in both my heads of femur. The doctor who made the surgery doesn't live in my country because I was operated abroad. But your videos have given me a driven energy inside myself to change my diet and do make some exercises. I am " bullied " by my relatives about the fact that I don't walk properly due to a lot of pain in my hips, by saying me " you're not gonna get married, who marries a lady that walks like this ". I will try all your advices. I know that the foods I eat are very bad, but I hadn't had the internal force to give up on them. I find relief in them, momentarly. Although I know that these foods will have a bad impact in my hip I still cannot stop. Or better say, couldn't. I found your channel and I am currently watching every video of yours one by one. Very clear explanations. Keep up.
I hear you and I understand how difficult it is but only you can fix this. Go for it and prove everyone wrong!! Andrew
I was told and needed to get stents in my heart and then I need to quadruple bypass. I refuse both ... And will continue to. My body can heal itself if I give it what it needs.
Everyone is genetically different and our personal circumstances are different, but our bodies are more powerful than we think, given the right opportunities. Obviously there is very much a time and place for meds and surgery too, but it's often the default option before all possibilities have been taken into account.
@@shapefixer I am a member of Dr Thomas Cowan's new biology clinic, and last year read his book human heart cosmic heart and have listened to some podcasts he has done on the cause of heart disease ... I am not a fan of Western medicine in general and I'm especially suspicious of the state of allopathic medicine as it is today.
Thank you for this hope!!!
Keep it up! Thanks for sharing!
At 73, the last three months slept with pain pills as the hip was in pain. Three weeks ago took your adivice and dont use the pills . Only meat and dairy with cabbadge with the suplements. thank you . With Lovoving Kindness, Horst -Peter

Thank you for the video on avoiding hip replacement.
There's something I want to mention about running. I hope you run brthing only through the nose. In and out. It's very important. If it is hard from the beginning, then alternate from fast to slow motion or alternating running with walking until you get used to it. This will help to avoid heart attack or heart enlargement.
Dr. Buteyco was talking about it.
Hi, thanks for the time to comment. I'm not sure for me, I've tried it but I've always been a highly competitive runner and I run better with my airways as open as possible. I keep a relaxed jaw (to save energy) so my mouth hangs naturally open and I'm probably getting air through both. - Andrew
Hopefully even with the open mouth you breath through the nose. Actually with close mouth, the technique is the same - relaxed jow and face,. After getting this information, I watched sofisticated marathon runners, they brith only through the nose. I shared this technique with coworker, who was physically very active, sprinter. Suddenly he's got enlarged heart got into a hospital. But he wasn't ready to give up his training. So, after gradually implementing this technique, in a few wks he felt so much better and able to continue his activities. Another guy, who couldn't achieve good results in hokey, was huffing and puffing during practice, after applying this also was able to endure long hrs of training with no problem. In short, it saves the energy, and also nose filters the air.
Just sharing the information.
Like your videos and best of luck. 😊
Obviously, I was meant to "find" your video today in order to give myself hope that I CAN heal my hips. I've been feeling defeated on my healing journey, because too many people don't believe it's possible to rebuild cartilage. I have a doctor appointment in three days to try to get a prescription to replace the Prednisone that I've been on for years for pain and inflammation. I have attempted to titrate off them myself, but I can't handle the severity of the pain when my hips are cracking like a ratchet as I try walking or lean over.
I'm not the least bit overweight and I've been eating a carnivore diet for over four years. But I never gave up dairy nor coffee with heavy cream until very recently. I believe the dairy proteins are not good for my joints and after a stint on homemade yogurt from September 2023 through into February 2024, my hips have gotten WAY worse than they were before.
So...your video today has inspired me to not give up. My current goal is to be able to walk without pain, but being able to run would be a dream come true.
Thank-you for your story. I'll be paying attention to your channel from now on.
Good luck Tammy, it's a miserable condition, here's hoping you can find a measure of relief - Andrew
Great video..! Gives me hope..I developed psoas syndrome inflammation after a bike ran into me and I fell..the trauma of experience and no support and having to deal with bikes on sidewalks all summer...apparently the psoas holds lots of emotions..so doing some special exercises for psoas release...and just started taking magnesium and glucosamine and chrondroitine..vit D... Tired of people saying ..it is old age ..get used to it...! I just turned 70 but had no pain at all before this incident..walked my dog twice a day...up hills..yoga...kayaking..swimming...but I did have trauma when my twin sister died Easter of 2021.. and just realised yesterday that I never cried.. so ..held in emotions do eventually manifest physically...eventually...Will keep u posted..the pain is all around the hips .buttocks...apparently the psoas muscle shortens with repetitive trauma...will keep you posted..on my recovery..
@zan4110 Hey Zan, as a lifelong athlete I can tell you the psoas is a very overlooked muscle, and is pretty much your "core" muscle, if it's damaged or inflammed it can have a wide range of effects. Have you tried getting it massaged by a good physical therapist? _ Andrew
@@shapefixer no, not yet...I am having trust issues because of all the trauma..the somatic yoga videos are helping a lot ..they are gentle but deep...need gentleness right now...and being so with myself...I was an athlete too.,triathlons...masters swimming..running..and Kundalini yoga as taught by Yogi Bhaha, very yang...so now...needing to nourish the yin...just feel my whole core Self has been damaged....
@zan4110 time, patience, love and the right food
@martincameron7425 There you go buddy! - Andrew
At the moment I cannot walk. Everybody knows someone who is total happy with new hips. I hope to avoid surgery but it is difficult.
Yes it is, its horrible, and sometimes surgery is the best or only option in which case it's great. But its important to know when that is. Clearly in my case it was not necessary at all as I am now running again. There can be other ways to manage it - less painful and a lot cheaper - and sometimes the diagnosis is just plain wrong.
@@shapefixer you are an exampel. Unfortunately, there is little Support for the alternative path. I'll keep trying, even if I've always felt worse so far.
Hi Andrew, your story is truly inspirational...well done! I just wondered if you have regained full range of motion in your hip. Thank you for sharing your story.🤗
@helenb6936 Hi Helen, pretty much but I was hit by a truck while cycling and came down hard on the same hip and suffered serious soft tissue damage (muscles and tendons) and there is still some swelling 4 months later, so that's complicating it, but there is a video of me running a couple of days ago, will link here - Andrew

Hi Andrew, my husband (77) and I use a lot of supplements. However, we got a scare over the past week, as he started having multiple nose bleeds, caused we think by the blood-thinning properties of some of those supplements, in our case Nattokinaise. Could you do a video on how to use supplements responsibly and safely? We can't rely on family doctors to help out, as they are arrogant and uninformed. They just blast patients for not relying 100% on Big Pharma. Hence my attempt to find answers basing myself on the knowledge available on channels such as yours.
Your content is much appreciated, as are your empowering and reassuring messages!
You should only supplement when there is a particuler deficiency in your diet, and then be aware of the symptoms you are trying to correct, and what the possible symptoms would be of having too much. The best route is to eat the right diet up front. - Andrew
Thanks so much!@@shapefixer
amazing, do you have xrays of your hip before and after?, my girlfriend is due for an op in 2 weeks and she needs as much info as possible to give her hope, do you have a video of you before, in pain and a video diary of your progress?
Yes, have tagged you (I replied to your comment on the other video)
This is so motivating. I too have severe hip arthritis. Want to follow ur path but am a vegetarian. Can you reccom a diet pls
You have to cut sugars, and ALL carbohydrates are sugars - so in addition to the obvious sweet crap, that means starches: pasta, rice, potatoes, cereals, anything with flour or pastry, bread (especially!). As a vegetarian thats harder (even worse first vegan) so apart from vegetables and nuts i guess you'll have to take supplements for a lot of minerals you'll be lacking - do you eat cheese, yoghurt, maybe eggs?
I’d love if you could make a video showing recommended hip exercises.
Thats a good idea, but in the meantime I recommend the YT channel "Upright Health", will share a recommended video here:

@@shapefixer I’ve just come across your work and I’m so excited! I’ve watched all of your videos and I believe I’ll join the membership so I can get more advice. I also recently discovered Upright Health and have been amazed by the testimonies. I plan to do their program as well. With your diet and those exercises I believe I can recover (two bad hips and arthritis in many other joints). Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Andrew, thats amazing!! Where are you running? Beautiful place😊
Just in my local down by the river. Thats less than 1000m from my house, in Loja, near Granada in Spain
I hope this is real
I can assure you it really is! - Andrew. (My xrays are posted in the community tab)

Ever think that running might be contributing to the hip problem?
Of course, but it's not exactly "unnatural". Ive been a very competitive (international level) runner and cyclist my whole life, but eating badly at the same time, so eventually the daily "breaking down" started to beat the daily "repairing", with age. So now I've rebuilt, and my better nutrition enables better recovery and rebuilding. and I can run again (thouigh I prefer off-road running as asphalt pounding is particularly hard) - Andrew
Blue print please, exactly how you achieved this please 😢
Go to the channel page and search "hip" to see my related videos, and you'll see the one i posted explaining my story. Its also linked in the video notes under this one if that's easier.
thank you for your kind reply Andrew, ill post it here because maybe you might receive the notification here (i sent you a message yesterday). I love the passion that flourish from all your videos. I have a few more questions for you. If i cant eat bread, potatos or rice and i want to make it even better, any idea on how to replace the brown rice with some other thing to make my only meal a day (i only it once) a little more interesting?
Im having amino acids (bcaas) from Drasanvi company but it contains Sucralosa, etc. Is it ok Sucralosa, glutomine and the lemon aroma? (Since they are not pure glucose) or to make it even better should i replace this bcaas with pure “perfect amino” which does only contain the basic aminos?
What about real curry powder, does contain sugar and carbohydrates in high levels? Or i can take it as is said to be a good antiinflamory? (Im talking about the curry powder itself nothing added)
By the way, i dont drink alcohol but i drink a zero sugar non alcoholic german beer once a day, is it ok? Or the hopes might contain too much carbohydrates/glucose??
And the last question is about the homeopathy, do you think that sugar water balls will affect directly to this perfect diet im trying to follow or is not too much concentrate on it? Sorry to be so pushy but im very worried about it… thank you again for your kindness!
Hyuga Amir
Ps by the way i was born in Galicia, have you been to Vigo?
What nutrition and supplements did you take?
Andrew; Please could you post a link somewhere re the Spanish collagen supplement you mentioned in your other hip vid? I did see it pop up somewhere but can't find it now. Thanks. Great vid.
Its on the Community tab on my channel page. If you are in Spain, its on the shelf in Mercadona - Andrew

Hi. I have planned hip replacement surgery in this month. However i feel batter after some diet changes. Is it possible to show up your's hip X-ray before and after? I could compare it with my hip join condition. Maybe there is some hope ...
Yes, check in the Community tab on this channel - Andrew

Hi Andrew, i cut sugar/ carbohydrates. My question is will it be ok to eat any cheese and how much cheese you eat?
Really want to make soup but sadly it has sugar 😢
Struggling on lack of choices for recipes i know it's only for 3 month's.
" if all heals proven x ray back to Normal, is it ok to go back to carbohydrates??
Did you do strength training for hips
My DIET eggs chicken,fish and lettice spinach. You mention nuts but they have sugar😢
How can you prevent loosing too muuch in 3 month's..
So far this is working feeling better but choice of food 😢🙏
Cheese is fine (rather not the slimy processed kind in jars or tubes). Nuts are fine too, a lot more oil than sugar. Make sure you are getting plenty of fat and oil to compensate for the carbs, as your body changes from a sugar burner to a fat burner. After three months you probably wont even like sugar (carbs) as theyll make you hungry and your inflammation and pain can come back.
Yes ive done an exercise video specifically for hips, check it out
@shapefixer HI Andrew, this is a game changer after 2 weeks of feeling better. I'm only a stone over weight, just afraid in 3 months. I lose more weight? To compensate, I eat loads of different nuts and all cheese, started eating more meat, and introduced lots of extra virgin olive oil so I get natural fat. Is this OK?
Did you lose any range of motion in your hip at the time you were told you needed hip replacement? If so, have you regained that range of motion? I have lost much of mine in the affected hip, despite almost lifelong yoga and flexibility, still present everywhere else except for my bad hip and lower back. I have been adhering to the diet you recommend now for 2 months already and was wondering about this. I am feeling better but have a long way to go. Hip mobility or flexibility seems to be an indicator of hip osteoarthritis as the Dr and fysiotheripists always look at this first, here anyway. Can you share what you know about this please?
Hi Sheri, there are a few issues: 1) is there extra bone growth around the joint? If so it could be getting in the way ; 2) the supporting soft tissues, especially tendons, could have shortened over time with restricted movement, and are inflamed. I definitely had this problem and it was only later when I found out about the issue of weakened glute muscles and tendons being rubbed against the bad joint due to bones being misaligned, that i was able to fix it. Watch my videos on exercises that address glute/butt strength. Im also making one in the next couple of days about tendon issues limiting the range during/after arthritis
my x-rays a few years back suggested a possible impingement because the fem head is now deeper than it once was but I have a feeling it more like your second suggestion...have been working on my gluts for a long time and I do see some improvement since increasing protein and going low carb, plus loads of supplements and also very important is not overdoing the exercise and giving my body the time to recover between strength training and walking. When I stopped taking NSAIDs for pain it was difficult at first but now I slowly see improvement and know when to stop and rest. I hope this helps someone else too. Thank you for the great videos and for your response.
How long after you changed your diet and started your exercise, did it take for you to run again?
Run? About 9 months, carefully
Do you have a video of "before"?
I could barely walk! I had no reason to video myself limping around, I did not know I would recover. But my xrays (before and after) are posted on the community page, you can see the change
Im following your advice 1 month now . I'm taking the supplements to help restore my hip cartilage. However i do a half hour runnjng once a week at a 9 minute mile. In your opinion is it a good idea to run while hoping to restore the joint? Thank you .
Probably not as the impact slows the healing process. Steady exercise with range of motion and constant pressure (rather than impact) is better. The fact that you can actually run means you will heal so keep positive!
Hi, are your hips minimal or something else?
Thank you 😊.
Is it normal when energy feels less when stop eating sugar carbohydrates?
Yes because your body is addicted to sugar but that will change
@shapefixer I noticed on my fb that a few people mentioned we need carbohydrates for brain function, etc, that we can not survive without it. Firstly, I became a little concerned then after giving great thought how so as I'm eating meat cheese, loads of oil and butter to compensate. I have lettuce for breakfast to give loads of energy. Would you agree that this is ok?
I think that diet along with nutrition can help to a certain degree, but what if its genetics?!
Hey Jon, yes genetics plays a role in everything, from our ability to become and Olympic athlete, to our ability to master arithmetic, or to heal - but in every case the appropriate training, practice or nutrition still makes all the difference.
Wat you think a out sun looking
What about testosterone and low dose steroids like Nandrolone aka Deca?
Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid used in the treatment of osteoporosis to stimulate bone growth. Arthritis is damage to cartilage, not bone; and very often the bone starts to grow inappropiately into the spaces where the cartilage has been damaged, resulting in spurs, so anything to stimulate the laying down of additional bone tissue would complicate the issue - Andrew

Just curious, did you ever do any steroid shots into the joint? I am unable to walk without a cane at the moment. They gave me anti-inflammatories that are making me drunk.😄 Someone is supposed to call to schedule a steroid shot. I want to do your program to grow cartilage back. I have read the steroids can break things down further...but I really need to be able to move. So, I can make money.
No I had no injectiosn whatsoever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. Your pain might be worse that mine was
hi, I'm sorry to contradict your video (like so many videos on the internet) even if you explain the problem in a clear and fluid way, but if the hip problem is present both due to wear of the cartilage and the bone spurs on the neck of the femur there is no 'there is no other solution than surgical replacement. Personally, I have been living with pain in my left hip for 5 years (I am now 51 and have done a lot of sport). I have tried almost all the physiotherapy solutions, cartilage supplements and recently regenerative medicine (PRP infiltrations and mesenchymal cells) with the result = 0 So much money wasted, so much time wasted and so many years wasted believing that it could be cured. I hope in the future that medical research will find an alternative to cartilage repair so as to perform surgical interventions only in cases of absolute necessity. Thank you best regards
You cannot regrow something from nothing, so you mustve had at least some CARTILAGE in that joint. I have NONE, so are you saying I can regrow my joint out of thin air, out of nothing?
No I'm not saying that at all, I'm pretty sure I had some, and definitely some stem cells, because as you say, you cant grow anything from nothing. If you watch the original video (this one you just watched was really just to prove that I can in fact now run again) you will see it was something I attempted rather that agreeing to surgery as a first option, and it worked. So I encourage other people to try the same. There are never any guarantees, but the hundreds of comments on the main video include a very high number of people who seem to have acheived the same thing - some hips (like me), and some knees. It's really interesting. - Andrew
