Nutrition Strategies to HEAL FASTER after Surgery or Injury

Want to speed up your ACL recovery? Check out our newest course: bit.ly/aclsecrets
After going through ACL surgery, I was determined to heal up as fast as I could - so I did lots of research to find out the exact nutrition strategies to help me heal faster after surgery so I could get back out there and play the sport I love (volleyball).
Nutrition is a KEY component of recovering swiftly from any surgery or injury. So in this video, I take some time to highlight how to eat and nourish your body during the 3 different phases of healing from an injury or recovering from surgery (inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling).
These were the exact strategies that I implemented while healing from my own ACL surgery - so I can personally attest to how nutrition can have such a significant impact on your recovery.

WOW! I had the same patellar tendon graft ACL reconstruction just like you. Any insight I need on recovery I'm watching your videos. Your journey has been so inspiring and I can't wait to get back to the gym.

Appreciate these ACL vids! Recently found out I'll be needing surgery due to a high grade ACL tear. Trying to watch as much content as possible to have better understanding of what to expect.

[@VictoriaDorsano]

Of course! I have several other ACL vids on my channel too. Hopefully they help! I also have an ACL course I just realized with more video content to prep for surgery, heal faster, and tips for the whole journey.

[@VictoriaDorsano]

Sorry to hear about the partial failure! Hoping your revision surgery goes smoothly!! You'll be stronger from it all in the end :)

[@isholashukrat7294]

Thanks for the great info, my husband just had an acl and meniscus surgery 2 weeks ago and I have been looking for ways to help him more then I came across your videos which have been helpful. A question though, do you take all these supplements at a go or different times through the day please? Thanks ❤

[@VictoriaDorsano]

Happy the videos are helping! I took my curcumin and fish oil together, then Juice plus both in the morning and evening.

[@Jalen-sm1op]

I had a foot reconstruction surgery, but in general should I stay in a calorie surplus while healing? Even in a very slight calorie deficit my pain skyrockets for whatever reason

[@VictoriaDorsano]

Listen to your body! If you feel that being in a slight surplus helps manage the pain, then that’s important to stick with.

[@littlevoice_11]

Hello ma'am, I have completed 4 months of acl and meniscus surgery but there is still swelling in my knee is this Normal or not??

[@VictoriaDorsano]

It can be normal! I still had some swelling at that point as well. Keep elevating your leg during the day and while sleeping. That will help.

Can you tell more or less how long after the surgery each phase begins..

[@VictoriaDorsano]

This will give you a decent generalization. www.emoryhealthcare.org/centers-programs/acl-program/recovery/rehab-timeline

got surgery for my ankle (brostrom) about 12 weeks ago, and i gained a lot of fat when in bed. Is it ok for me to try to cut down now? Great video btw.

PS: Bread (gluten) and Dairy are super inflammatory, not a good option to heal the body

[@VictoriaDorsano]

Gluten and dairy have only been shown to be inflammatory for some populations who have a sensitivity or intolerance to these foods, but not for everyone. The education around nutrition that I provide on this channel is what research supports for most of the demographic, but like with anything, there are always exceptions on an individual level.

Haha Victoria your right! was just about to tell this guy that! I'm half Dutch and we have TONS of lactase. Used to drink literally a gallon of milk a day
