Key nutrients such as protein, creatine, collagen, and vitamins C, D, and E play crucial roles in tissue repair, muscle maintenance, wound healing, bone health, and reducing inflammation.

Collagen sources like bone broth support tissue regeneration, and vitamins from fruits, vegetables, and sun exposure bolster immune function and bone repair. Start focusing on your diet 4-6 weeks prior to surgery and consult your healthcare provider for tailored advice.
