What does “wear and tear” actually mean—and why do so many people misunderstand it? When is surgery truly the right move… and when is it not necessary at all?

Dr. Brian Nwannunu (orthopedic surgeon) joins The Alpha Renaissance to talk about:

• Why surgery is rarely “absolutely necessary” (and what that really means)
• The hidden daily habits that slowly destroy joints
• Inactivity as the biggest driver of preventable injuries
• Training culture: ego lifting, deadlifts/Olympic lifts, and injury patterns
• Pickleball as the new wave of overuse injuries
• The simplest explanation of osteoporosis you’ll ever hear (styrofoam cup vs bamboo)
• How surgeons make decisions with patients (shared decision-making)
• AI/Google medicine, entitlement, and the modern patient dynamic
• Boundaries, microaggressions, and navigating medicine as a Black surgeon
