491. Hacking Osteoarthritis, Double Hip Replacement and Healing Like Wolverine with Zora Benhamou

January 21, 2025·54m

This episode is pure gold. I’m chatting with Zora Benhamou—biohacker, gerontologist, and all-around powerhouse—about her journey through osteoarthritis and double hip replacements. Diagnosed with a condition most people associate with their 70s, Zora turned what could’ve been a major setback into an opportunity to biohack her way to a killer recovery. We’re talking pre-surgery prep, post-op recovery, and everything in between: PRP, stem cells, anti-inflammatory diets, and the exercises that kept her strong through it all. She also dives into the role of genetics, menopause, and even an old skiing injury that played a part in her diagnosis. With over 500 million people worldwide struggling with osteoarthritis, Zora’s story is a must-listen for anyone navigating joint pain or recovery. It’s practical, inspiring, and packed with actionable advice to help you take control of your health. Listen and learn how to heal like a biohacker.
