In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Adrienne Towsen, an orthopedic surgeon and founder of Towsen Clinic in Westchester, Pennsylvania. After 21 years in sports medicine, Dr. Towsen left her practice following a private equity acquisition and pivoted toward proactive, preventative care focused on movement, longevity, and peak performance. She shares how her passion for keeping patients active well into midlife drives her new approach to medicine.
Key Takeaways:
- Why She Left Traditional Practice: A private equity acquisition made it impossible to practice medicine aligned with her values, pushing Dr. Towsen to start over and build a practice centered on what truly matters — keeping people healthy and moving.
- Lifespan vs. Healthspan: Dr. Towsen emphasizes optimizing the years you live with vitality and function, not just adding years to your life — a philosophy she now builds her entire practice around.
- Movement is Medicine: Whether you have an arthritic joint or an overuse injury, staying active is almost always better than being sedentary. Consistent movement paired with proper nutrition and protein intake is her top health advice.
- Muscle as a Priority: As we age, muscle naturally declines. Dr. Towsen stresses the importance of proactively maintaining muscle mass through exercise and nutrition to preserve long-term function and quality of life.
- Find Your Passion: A competitive ballroom dancer herself, Dr. Towsen believes that finding something that brings you joy is the real secret to staying healthy into midlife and beyond.
