At FX Regenerative & Sports Medicine, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to supplementation. Instead, we develop personalized supplement stacks based on your diagnosis, symptoms, treatment goals, and overall health. These physician-guided protocols are designed to complement your treatment plan and may support joint health, muscle recovery, nerve function, healthy aging, and inflammation management. During your consultation, we’ll determine which supplements are appropriate for your specific condition and review the best dosing strategy for your needs.
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are a cornerstone of many of our supplement recommendations because they help support a healthy inflammatory response, joint health, cardiovascular wellness, and brain function.
While often associated with athletic performance, creatine also supports muscle health, cellular energy production, and recovery. It may be recommended for patients recovering from injuries or working to preserve strength and function.
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has been extensively studied for its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response and improve joint comfort. It is frequently incorporated into supplement protocols for musculoskeletal conditions.
We provide access to professional-grade supplements through our Fullscript virtual dispensary. Your personalized supplement stack will be recommended during your consultation based on your health goals and treatment plan.
Chronic inflammation is often a precursor to many health issues, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and even some cancers. Adopting an anti-inflammatory diet not only helps manage existing conditions but also serves as a preventive measure. This type of diet focuses on whole, nutrient-dense foods that combat inflammation and oxidative stress while limiting processed foods that exacerbate inflammation.
Omega 3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, are critical for reducing inflammation and supporting joint health.
Berries, leafy greens, and nuts are packed with antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals, which can damage cells and lead to chronic inflammation.
Choosing whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats can help lower inflammation levels compared to refined grains.
Fish, poultry, and plant-based proteins such as beans and legumes provide essential nutrients without the inflammatory effects of processed red meat.
Incorporating spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic into your meals can offer additional anti-inflammatory benefits.
