Hosted by Chris Bystriansky—author, IRONMAN triathlete, and double hip replacement patient—this podcast focuses on what patients actually want to know about hip surgery recovery and recovering from hip replacement. Chris had both hips replaced more than a decade ago and went on to complete two IRONMAN triathlons, endurance events, and maintain an active lifestyle that includes golf, fitness, and travel. His journey demonstrates what’s possible when recovery is approached with patience, perspective, and purpose. This podcast does not provide medical advice. Chris is not a doctor, surgeon, or physical therapist.
