Overview
In this episode, Dr. Joe Albano shares how a whole-body wellness approach helps patients heal faster, perform better, and age more powerfully.
Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, Dr. Albano explains how hormone optimization, muscle strengthening, and weight management work together to support regenerative healing — particularly after 40.
You’ll learn how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), Emsculpt NEO, and GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide fit into a comprehensive plan for movement, recovery, and vitality.
