Your body needs a healthy dose of key vitamins and minerals to perform everyday tasks, but the demand for these nutrients increases as you prepare for and recover from surgery. Coming in with a plan for your nutritional needs is a must, and it’s something we discuss with every patient.
We’ll work with you to develop an individualized nutritional and supplementation plan before and after your operation, but we also partner with experts who specialize in this area of health and wellness. As the team at Truthe state “The gap between what your body needs and what most people actually consume is the single biggest modifiable risk factor in surgical outcomes that almost nobody talks about.”
You trust your car needs to a mechanic. You trust your foot and ankle health to an orthopedic specialist like Dr. Silverman. You should also trust your pre- and post-op nutritional plan to a team of experts. Dr. Silverman can help develop the right protocol or he can help you find the perfect plan through Truthe or a similar provider.
