About Dr. Shekhtman
Dr. Benjamin Shekhtman is a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician practicing in New York, with a clinical focus on musculoskeletal function, recovery and men's health.
On Heyday's Medical Advisory Board he reviews consumer education covering recovery, performance, training and body composition for scientific accuracy, and flags language that overstates benefit or understates risk. His role is advisory and non-clinical: he does not treat Heyday patients, review individual charts or labs, or supervise the clinicians who deliver care on the platform.

- Musculoskeletal and peptide-related claim review
- Accuracy review of educational articles and quiz result copy
What this role is — and what it is not
Heyday's Medical Advisory Board is a non-clinical body. Dr. Shekhtman reviews consumer-facing education, articles, quiz logic and marketing claims for scientific accuracy, and reviews written protocol templates against current specialty society guidance.
He does not provide clinical care through Heyday, does not establish a physician–patient relationship with any Heyday patient, does not review any individual patient's chart or labs, and does not serve as a collaborating or supervising physician. Clinical care on the platform is delivered by licensed nurse practitioners and physician assistants, supported by a collaborating physician of record, each engaged separately. See who provides care.
How editorial review works
Content is drafted by Heyday's editorial team, checked against primary literature and specialty society guidance, and submitted to the advisory board member whose specialty is relevant. The reviewer returns written comments on scientific accuracy and on any claim that overstates benefit or understates risk. Heyday remains solely responsible for what it publishes; a review is advisory and is not an endorsement of any individual claim, product, price or offer.
