Episode Details

The instructions most of us receive before a procedure cover fasting, medications, and not much else. But the weeks before surgery — how we're sleeping, what we're eating, whether our vitamin levels are anywhere near where they need to be for healing — are quietly shaping our outcome before we ever walk into that hospital. Dr. Jen Stevane spent over twenty years as a surgeon before founding the Center for Holistic Surgery, and she joins us to talk about what real surgical preparation looks like and what small steps can mean for optimal healing and life post-procedure. If a surgery or other procedure is on your horizon — or someone you love's — this conversation is worth your full attention!
