Run Farther & Faster — The Podcast with Coaches Lisa Levin and Julie SapperAbout this episode
Throughout this pandemic, we've been sharing articles on our social media from multiple publications in which Dr. Erich Anderer is frequently quoted. Rather than just post the articles, we thought we would reach out to the source. When we did, we learned that he is a founding member of the North Brooklyn Runners and a Boston Marathoner. Dr. Anderer couldn't have been more gracious with his time. He's a busy guy. In addition to serving as the Chief of Neurosurgery at NYU Langone – Hospital Brooklyn, and an assistant professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the NYU School of Medicine, he's a runner, yogi, musician, and a dad. Dr. Anderer was born in Japan and grew up in NYC, where his family utilized a Reiki and shiatsu practitioner in conjunction with the family physician for preventative health care and maintenance. Dr. Anderer performs about 200 spine and brain surgeries a year, but his goal is to keep patients out of his office. As a result, he has a special nterest in self care as a means to prevent and treat most causes of neck and back pain. He is also helping to investigate ways to reduce the use of opiates in post-surgical patients, and eliminate their use in chronic pain. When COVID-19 spread to the NYC area, all elective surgeries were canceled, and as a result, Dr. Anderer became a key physician in treating coronavirus patients. We learned SO much from Dr. Anderer, and we hope our listeners do as well. Please share this information with your friends and family,He provided a lot of sound advice.
