Bumstead shared a story on Instagram where he is in the medical room with his doctor, who is Adeel Khan, and they go through a process of stem cell treatment. CBum captioned the story by writing how his doctor is helping him keep his body healthy and gave the medical expert a shoutout, ?@dr.akhan helping keep my body healthy as I put it through hell.?
The reel video shows Adeel Khan talking about osteoarthritis and the treatment that will cure its progression in the future. ?The key here is we do a high-resolution ultrasound to figure out exactly what the problem is,? starts the doctor of medicine. He continued talking about the problems he found in Bumstead?s knees and joints. ?And now we?ve identified a few issues.?
The diagnosis was as follows: ?He has tears in his tendons and his meniscus. He also has some degeneration so we?re gonna use a combination of stem cells and exosomes which actually modify the natural course of the disease because arthritis and degeneration just get worse and worse over time.? So, the main treatment was an injection of infused stem cells and exosomes to prevent the degeneration caused by arthritis. Bumstead not only takes care of his muscles and bones but also his sleep.

One of the main aspects of Bumstead?s bodybuilding journey is the emphasis on sleep and good nutrition. When a bodybuilder trains, the muscles develop micro-tears, which the body repairs during sleep. This repair makes the muscle fibers stronger and denser, a process known as muscle hypertrophy.
Bumstead opts for blue light-blocking glasses before he goes to bed. In a previous Instagram story, Chris Bumstead posted a picture of himself wearing those night glasses. ?Night glasses come with me everywhere. The operation actually sleep is in full effect.?Bumstead is always very candid about health and fitness and does not shy away from talking about his vulnerable moments as well.
