Jiu-Jitsu, Surgery & Survival: How to Train Hard, Avoid Injuries & Stay on the Mats

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. M. Lucius Pomerantz, fellow orthopedic surgeon, black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and lifestyle medicine expert, to dive deep into the fascinating intersection of combat sports, injury, recovery, and longevity.

We talk about what pulls high-performing doctors into such a physically intense world, and why so many of us can’t resist the challenge and community of Jiu Jitsu despite the inevitable injuries.

We get real about the toll this sport takes on the body, the psychological rollercoaster of recovery, and the difference it makes to be treated by a physician who truly gets what you’re going through.
