Orthopedic Surgeon Claims Postmenopausal Women Develop Joint Arthritis From Estrogen Loss Not Just Wear
The Ultimate Human
Dr. Jason Snibbe: On Why Meniscus Surgery Backfires, Prehab, Peptides, & Robotic Joint Surgery
"Women, they're postmenopausal, they lose their estrogen, they all of a sudden they wear out their joints. From lack of estrogen. And so how do we understand that better? How do we understand why you have so much inflammation in your body because your diet is horrible? That your knee wears out."
Dr. Snibbe presented the controversial claim that postmenopausal women develop joint arthritis metabolically from estrogen loss rather than purely from mechanical wear and tear. He linked hormonal changes and diet-induced inflammation as primary drivers of joint deterioration, suggesting a fundamental reframing of how arthritis develops in women. This challenges the conventional biomechanical model of joint disease.
