Steve, an osteopathic physician with extensive experience in internal medicine, emergency care, and hospitalist work, shares how his medical background inspired him to bring high-quality, physician-directed recovery services directly to athletes at events like the Spartan Trifecta weekend in Conyers, Georgia. He emphasizes the importance of pre- and post-race hydration, musculoskeletal assessment, and evidence-based IV therapy tailored to individual needs—going beyond typical spa-style IV bars by using medical-grade ingredients, licensed nurses, and rigorous screening protocols. Steve also discusses the unique value of being on-site at races, offering real-time recovery, injury prevention, and even structural treatments like osteopathic manipulative therapy. The conversation highlights real athlete experiences, including a serious injury during the race that underscored the need for immediate, professional care. Scott shares a giveaway opportunity: listeners who use Steve’s services at Fayetteville and screenshot their payment will receive a free race code for an ultra event.
