Dr James Crownover is a US physical medicine and rehabilitation physician subspecialized in sports medicine practicing academic medicine at Augusta University in Augusta, Georgia. Dr Crownover has a special interest in how lifestyle behaviors affect our health and well-being. Variables such as diet, sleep, stress, sun exposure, gut ecology, the body’s entire microbiome, social networks, having a purpose, a sense of belonging, stress management, daily movement and scheduled exercise all play significant and under-appreciated roles in our wellness, performance, and overall quality of life. He finds it useful to view these variables through an evolutionary lens when possible. Most of his attention is currently devoted to managing and studying concussions, tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, and other degenerative conditions of the musculoskeletal system.
