Bone Coach™ Health and Wellness – Joining us today to discuss why injuries keep coming back, the truth about inflammation, and the foundational cellular healing cycle is Dr. Christine Smith, Doctor of Chiropractic and functional medicine practitioner with extensive experience in regenerative medicine and complex chronic conditions.

With a clinical focus on cellular repair, inflammation regulation, and long-term resilience, Dr. Smith helps patients understand how stress, toxins, and environmental burden can interrupt the body’s natural healing processes. Her work bridges biomechanics, functional medicine, and regenerative therapies to support optimal recovery and performance.

In this episode, we explore why healing is not linear, how inflammation is often misunderstood, and how the cellular healing cycle impacts bone health, injury prevention, and long-term vitality.
