This episode dives into some of the evidence on resistance vs. high-velocity power training in postmenopausal women and its impact on bone mineral density (BMD). Research is highlighted showing that high-speed training protocols may stimulate bone more effectively than traditional resistance training by increasing strain rates and promoting osteogenic adaptation. You'll learn how moving with speed and control helps strengthen bones and prevents age-related decline better than slow, heavy lifting alone. Some of Erica's research for her doctoral dissertation is discussed and she then presents a case study of a menopausal patient with insidious-onset shoulder pain and offers some clinical pearls as to why, especially in anyone who has played a racquet sport, the shoulder is not the only driver. She also highlights a few targeted interventions that allowed this woman to weight lift and strengthen her shoulder without feeding into her symptoms.

Has your doctor suggested a bone mineral density test? Sometimes called a BMD test, this procedure is used to analyze your bones. On this episode, Dr. Julie Gilmour an endocrinologist at the St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and a member of the Osteoporosis Canada Scientific Advisory Council discusses what a BMD test is, how the results are interpreted, and everything you should know to be confident ahead of your appointment.
Osteoporosis is often diagnosed during routine screenings, with doctors relying on bone mineral density (BMD) tests to assess bone strength in the spine and hip. While BMD testing is valuable for detecting low bone density early, predicting fracture risk, and monitoring treatment progress, it only tells part of the story. Understanding your full osteoporosis risk requires a deeper look at the underlying factors affecting bone health. In this episode, Dr. Kim Millman, an integrative medical doctor and founder of The Millman Clinic, discusses the updated lab tests that provide deeper insights into bone metabolism, hormone balance, gut health, inflammation, and nutrient levels—all critical factors in osteoporosis prevention. She also shares the surprising link between cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Join us as we discuss the latest updates on osteoporosis lab testing. Discover which tests matter most and how they can help prevent fractures before they happen. With the proper testing, you can start your journey to healing and take control of your bone health! “Just the mere fact that you have bone loss makes you more likely to have cardiovascular disease... Once I realized and understood that, I knew I had to understand where the links were coming from and how we could test to figure out where in the pathway we could intervene so that we could prevent and also have the opportunity to improve the strength and resiliency of our bones." ~ Dr. Kim Millman In this episode: - [03:27] - The link between heart health and bone health - [05:12] - Studies about coronary artery plaque and bone density - [10:12] - Shared risk factors between heart disease and osteoporosis - [13:32] - How to use Dr. Millman's interactive testing tool - [16:03] - Webinar: Essential Lab Testing for Unbreakable Bones - [46:52] - How to get help from Dr. Millman - [50:19] - Details about the next Restore & Rebuild class Resources mentioned - RESTORE & REBUILD – 100 DAYS TO HEALTHIER BONES - https://themillmanclinic.com/randr (Early bird price $797 until Feb 28th; Use coupon code HAPPYBONES25 $100 off until Feb 28th) - Dr. Millman's free lab testing guide: https://themillmanclinic.com/bonestesting - Dr. Millman's Essential Lab Testing Guide (Basic and Heart testing for just $31) - https://themillmanclinic.thrivecart.com/essential-lab-testing-guide/ - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (free) - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-exercises-to-strengthen-your-bones-and-prevent-fractures-1 More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Your bones are the pillars of what it means to be “strong for life”, and there are few things are as important for health span and longevity as the strength of our bodies to be functional in our latter years. It is assumed that it's the likes of cancer and heart attacks at the centre of premature death, but falling down and breaking our bones is right up there as a leading cause of death in those over 60, with 20% of hip fractures leading to death within one year of injury. That's why it's time to start lifting heavy, building your bone bank and getting strong for life.Belinda Beck is a Professor in the School of Health Sciences & Social Work and member of the Menzies Health Institute Queensland at Griffith University where she has taught musculoskeletal anatomy and conducted bone research for over 20 years. Belinda graduated from The University of Queensland with a degree in Human Movement Studies and from the University of Oregon with a Master of Science and a PhD. She completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Stanford University School of Medicine. Her work, primarily related to the effects of mechanical loading on bone. She has published over 100 scientific papers, and presented almost 200 abstracts at conferences and symposia globally. Most recently Belinda, with her Griffith colleagues, published the results of the LIFTMOR, LIFTMOR-M and MEDEX-OP clinical trials which re-established the benchmark of exercise as therapy for osteoporosis and low bone mass. Belinda established The Bone Clinic Pty Ltd in 2015 to roll out this groundbreaking program of research as ONERO.Join us as we explore:Osteoporosis - the state of it, how it manifests itself, how to prevent it and the #1 killer of bone health.Osteopenia vs osteoporosis?

The short answer is yes. The long answer here in this episode is how. Using a weighted vest with osteoporosis comes up frequently as a question. Whether or not you have osteoporosis, stay with me, as I will talk about the overall benefits and science that's been out since at least 2000, perhaps as long as I've been using my weighted vest. Questions I'll Answer in this Episode: Can you use a weighted vest with osteoporosis? [00:06:20] If so, how do you get started safely? [00:09:30] What weight should you be using? [00:39:00] What if you have already fractured? [00:06:30] What if you have chronic upper back and neck pain? [00:40:20] Within this episode I'll show some images of my weighted vest and what you want to look for. They're so much better now than they used to be! It was an injury weighting (see what I did there?) to just put one on two decades ago. And they definitely were not made for women. I've been lecturing about osteoporosis and osteopenia since 1995. That first adult education class I taught was the first time I left my house without my infant son, I think! Back then I had to draw pictures on the chalkboard of modeling and remodeling of bone, explain these then, new terms, and what was happening. And… we had a list of contraindications that are no longer the best science we have. While much of the decade-by-decade steps to build bone and then prevent or slow loss still are true, the veil of doom has been lifted. We no longer have to pop someone into bubble wrap. But you might think so because a search online will bring up ALL the content over decades. You'll think you are a delicate flower and that oh, my you shouldn't do rotation ever. And this fear mongering has to end - not that you shouldn't be informed about how to exercise correctly and what starting and progression looks like. Breaking Barriers Using Weighted Vest with Osteoporosis Back in 1996 I started working with one client, and then another would be diagnosed with osteoporosis. If you're listening, Mary, you were the first to break some barriers and overcome the fear. You had a good doctor who understood the whole person, and the real way healed. If I were concerned about osteoporosis, what I would do: Resistance training - progressive overload to as heavy as safely possible. My preferred is 5 x 5 reps Employ power in those workouts High Impact - at least 4 sets of 10-20 impacts a day most days of the week Moving during the day, breaking up sedentary periods of time, on non-exercise or recovery days (from strength training and HIIT with impact) the addition of weighted vest during walks or movement around house Whole Body Vibration use most days of the week (in conjunction with strength training and for balance or core exercise. (I use the Move: https://www.flippingfifty.com/powerplate and you can get 20% off with code Flipping50) Yoga consistently for the anti-gravity benefit of unique positions (and maintenance of mobility crucial to stability) Though wearing a weighted vest did not have a significant positive impact on the lumbar spine, Whole Body Vibration does. “lumbar spine BMD (MD: - 0.01; 95% CI [- 0.02, - 0.01]) reduced significantly when aerobic exercise training was used as intervention compared with RCTs that utilized resistance training, combined training, and WBV. By contrast, these analyses did not have significant effect on change in femoral neck BMD. WBV is an effective method to improve lumbar spine BMD in older PMW.” References: Mohammad Rahimi GR, Smart NA, Liang MTC, Bijeh N, Albanaqi AL, Fathi M, Niyazi A, Mohammad Rahimi N.

Resistance training is essential in menopause. It is supportive of your hormones. It's an endocrine organ. It supports blood sugar levels, moods and more! All inside! Are you navigating menopause noticing unfavorable changes in your body composition? This episode of Flipping 50 is your ticket to understanding why muscle matters now more than ever. Discover how resistance training can transform not just your muscles, but your overall menopausal journey, with expert insights and actionable tips. I'm sharing a new study on resistance training to combat muscle loss, increase bone density, and improve metabolic health during and after menopause. The study aimed to identify the most effective resistance training protocols to combat osteoporosis by improving BMD in postmenopausal women. It specifically evaluated the impact of different exercise intensities and frequencies. Resistance training is essential in menopause for maintaining bone density and metabolic health. Questions We Answer In This Episode: Why is muscle mass particularly important for women entering menopause? [00:24:04] How does resistance training impact bone health and help prevent osteoporosis? [00:07:24] What are the best resistance training exercises for women over 50? [00:19:24] How often should menopausal women engage in resistance training? [00:15:54] What are some common misconceptions about weight lifting and menopause? [00:08:54] How can resistance training improve hormonal balance during menopause? [00:20:44] The research concluded that for postmenopausal women, resistance training at moderate intensity, conducted three times a week, offers the best outcomes for increasing BMD. This protocol should be integrated into fitness routines to effectively manage and mitigate the risks of osteoporosis in this population. Monday and Friday 10 repetitions (80%) Wednesday 16 repetitions (65%) - unilateral work Might be an ideal combination to provide stimulus without endocrine disruption (cortisol/adrenals/thyroid) Objectives The study aimed to identify the most effective resistance training protocols to combat osteoporosis by improving BMD in postmenopausal women. It specifically evaluated the impact of different exercise intensities and frequencies. Methods Studies assessed resistance training's impact on BMD. The studies were categorized by exercise intensity (high, moderate, low) and frequency (high frequency of three days per week and low frequency of two days per week). Findings Overall Effectiveness: The meta-analysis found that resistance training is beneficial in increasing BMD in postmenopausal women, particularly at lumbar spine and femoral neck sites. Intensity and Frequency: Moderate-intensity training (65%–80% 1RM) performed three times a week was most effective in improving BMD. This regimen provided a balance that was intense enough to stimulate bone density improvements without the risks associated with high-intensity training. Comparison of Protocols: The study revealed that while all resistance training positively impacted BMD, the moderate intensity at a higher frequency provided the most significant benefits. Statistical Analysis: Data were analyzed using network meta-analysis, which allowed for comparison across multiple interventions. The results suggested that moderate-intensity, high-frequency training was superior to other combinations in improving BMD. Conclusions The research concluded that for postmenopausal women, resistance training at moderate intensity, conducted three times a week, offers the best outcomes for increasing BMD. This protocol should be integrated into fitness routines to effectively manage and mitigate the risks of osteoporosis in this population.

Don't miss our newsletter! Mike hosts Andy Lowery to dig deep into directed energy weapons—specifically high-power microwave (HPM) systems. Andy is the CEO of Epirus, a venture-backed defense tech startup inverting the cost equation of drone defense and swarm protection. We talk about the tech, how it affects electronics, and how Epirus' flagship product—Leonidas—is designed with adaptability and scale in mind. Turns out that HPM systems share more in common with an F-35 radar and an EA-18 jammer than a kitchen appliance! The Army is currently in a rapid buy-and-try phase of these counter-UAS (CUAS) systems and is sending them to the Middle East. The systems have a host of other applications, though—the Navy is experimenting with them to disable boat motors, and the Air Force is also interested.

In this weeks episode we dive into a topic that is close to my heart after watching the pain and suffering my mum went through and the complications and difficulties she has had after falling in her bedroom one day and breaking her hip. This experience of course led me deep into the research on osteoporosis and in todays video/podcast we cover What osteoporosis is and what osteopenia is How is it diagnosed What drugs are used to to treat it - the good, the bad and the ugly of these What exercises you can do to stave off osteoporosis and reverse bone loss What nutrient deficiencies or diseases can lead to osteoporosis What supplements can reverse and or slow bone loss The role of different hormones in osteopororsis The role of nutrition in osteoporosis What medications can cause osteoporosis What lifestyle factors can lead to osteoporosis Who is more at risk for osteoporosis. General info on osteoporosis Loss of Bone Mass Density Dexa Scan T-score -1.0 to -2.5 is Osteopenia T-score less than -2.5 is Osteoporosis Bone is 40-50% inorganic component (hydroxyapatite), 10-15% water and 35% organic component(protein). 90% of the organic component is collagen Type 1 and the remaining 10% non-collagenous proteins Osteoblasts-formation of bone, secrete alkaline phosphatase to create sites for calcium and phosphate deposition. Osteoclasts-bone resorption, secretes acid phosphatase which unfixes the calcium Osteocytes are osteoblasts which are responsible for homeostasis of oxygen and mineral levels. Function: Supports the body, protects the organs, produces blood cells, and stores minerals and fats. Collagen, the protein that gives bones a framework for strength and flexibility Calcium-phosphate mineral complexes, that fill in the gaps between the collagen frame work, making bones hard and strong Living bone cells that remove and replace weakened sections of bone KoACT-Calcium collagen chelate Animal Study-8 weeks 4 groups No supplement KoACT-increased bone density by 3.5% 10x KoACT-increased bone strength by 10% Calcium and Collagen supplement increase bone strength by 1% Study 39 women 2 groups-12 months Post-menopausal women. 5 g of CC(calcium-collagen chelate) which contains 500 mg of elemental calcium and 200 IU Vitamin D 500 mg of calcium and 200 IU of Vitamin D The loss of whole body BMD in women taking CC was substantially lower than that of the control group at twelve months KoACT improves bone synthesis and reduces bone loss KoACT counteracts the natural process of bone loss in post-menopausal women KoACT improves bone mineral density KoACT improves bone mineral density better than calcium in post-menopausal women KoACT improves total body bone mineral density significantly better than calcium in just three months Biomarkers for bone formation were increased significantly with KoACT KoACT improves biomarkers for bone formation, better than calcium. KoACT improves bone strength significantly better than calcium in animals Peak bone mass is around 30 years old.

My name is Julie Brauer. I'm a member of the Older Adult Division. Excited to be talking to you all this morning all about the big critical piece that is missing from our fall prevention and management frameworks. The big critical piece that is missing from our fall prevention and management framework. So before we get into the goods, I want to let you all know about our courses that are coming up in January because we are hitting the new year just right out the gate. We are absolutely slammed. So our L1 and L2 online courses kick off January 11th and January 12th. And then we will be on the road all throughout the month. So we will be in Columbus, Ohio, We will be in Santa Rosa, California, Clearwater, Florida, and Kearney, Missouri. So we would love to see you in our online courses or out on the road starting the year off strong with us. FRAMEWORKS FOR ASSESSING FALL RISK Okay, let's dive in. I want you all to think of your typical frameworks for your fall risk assessment and your management plan. I want you to think about it. So I want you to think that 70 year old Betty is coming into your clinic or you're going to see her at her home or in her hospital room. She's been referred for strength and balance deficits. She's had a fall in the past. I want you to think about kind of that long list of assessment pieces that come into your head. You know, what you're probably going to evaluate or be thinking about. So when I think about that long list, here are some of the things that come to my mind that are probably coming to your mind. You may do some evaluations and assessments like the short physical performance battery. You may run a tug. You may look at strength. You're probably going to do a gait speed. Maybe you want to do a mini best and check Betty's vision, check her cognition, talk to her about her environment. Maybe you do a medication review or you check her shoe wear. Maybe you're going to check her vitals, right? This list could go on and on. It's definitely not all inclusive, but I would bet that a large percentage of you that for a large percentage of you, the piece that didn't make that list was fracture risk screening and osteoporosis management. FRACTURE RISK SCREENING & OSTEOPOROSIS MANAGEMENT This is our critical missing piece, fracture risk screening and osteoporosis management. So we are going to start by setting the foundation and talk about why that piece is commonly missed. We are going to talk about why as fitness forward rehab professionals, fracture risk screening and osteoporosis management has to be on our radar, especially given the fact that we have the goal, especially in this crew, we have the goal of identifying, seeking out, and absolutely destroying one ret max living in order to make our older adults as robust as possible. And in this specific case, helping to make their bones as robust as possible. And then I will give you guys a few clear, easy to implement actionables that you can start getting after this week that are going to be able to give you a very comprehensive clinical picture of your patient's skeletal health. Okay. So first and foremost, we need to think about why is this not on our radar? You know, why for many of us was fracture risk screening and osteoporosis management not something that came to our minds. And if you're like me, I didn't really learn about that in school. It wasn't emphasized. I definitely didn't learn it out on clinical. And I really didn't address it in my clinical practice. If someone, one of my patients had osteoporosis, I kind of just assumed that it was going to be managed by their PCP or the medical team. And I didn't really have a big role to play, right? And we also have to realize that we understand that falls and fractures are important, right? Like falls and fractures, especially in working with older adults, this is on our mind a lot. And we know that as our older adults age, falls and fractures are going to increase. And we know that This results in years and years and years of disability that our older adults have to live with. So we know that it's important. So we have to start thinking like, why isn't this on our radar? So I want you all to start getting really curious about your patient's skeletal health. And when we look to the literature, we further see that this is an undertreated and an underdiagnosed condition. In the literature, it'll be deemed as the silent disease. And there are so many retrospective cohort studies that show that individuals who sustain a fracture after a fall, a very alarming high percentage of them were never scanned. They never had a DEXA scan. They were not on osteoporosis medication. And a very high percentage of them will go on to have another fracture in a few years. So this is a massive, massive problem that we are seeing and we have to realize that we have a role here and we can be the individuals to help screen and identify this as a problem and interrupt that cycle. So when we start to get curious about our patient's skeletal health, I want you all to think about Betty, right? About 75-year-old Betty who's coming in to see you. And we're really good at looking at Betty and assessing Betty and thinking, like, Betty's got a lot of muscular weakness on board. So if we know that Betty is weak muscularly, we have to remember that it's called the musculoskeletal system, and that those bones also may be very weak as well. So as soon as you identify muscular weakness in Betty, I want you all to be thinking, okay, I need to start thinking, hmm, are those bones weak as well? The other side of this, though, is that Betty may blow that, you know, 30 seconds to stand out of the water. Her gait speed may be great. Like she's really kind of crushing it on her on these outcome measures that we're running. And we may think like, oh, she's thriving. However, we can't automatically assume that those bones are thriving as well because there are so many factors that go into bone health that are not visible to the eye. So don't make the assumption that her skeletal system is absolutely crushing it. You want to continue to be curious and you have to start thinking there's so much more that goes into this. I need to do some assessments and do some screening to really get a clinical picture of what Betty's skeletal health is actually like, right? And we need to start thinking about this in terms of urgency. In the older adult division, the urgent situation is identifying someone who is at one rep max living, and then triaging our fitness forward approach, because that individual needs our fitness forward approach the most. So if you think about it, and Betty is coming in, and you're running assessments on her, and she's at risk for falls, and you haven't even looked at her skeletal health yet, Well, you're going to say, whew, Betty's at risk for falls. I definitely need to really triage a fitness board approach for her. But then if you also assess her skeletal health and you realize that she has weak bones and she's at risk for falls, my God, that is an incredibly, incredibly urgent situation. That individual needs our fitness forward approach the most, but we're not going to be able to know how to intervene, how to appropriately intervene if we don't even know the problem exists. So we have to be able to identify that this is a problem. We are the providers that can make this silent, invisible disease very visible. So how do we do that? Let's talk about some actionables here that you guys can start doing immediately that are going to be able to give you really critical data in order to gain a comprehensive picture of her skeletal health. Number one, it is the lowest hanging fruit. It's the easiest place to start. SCREENING FOR FRACTURE RISK: THE FRAX TOOL You can screen for fracture risk and you can do that by using the FRAX tool. The FRAX tool is so easy, so quick to implement. I will link it here for you. It takes two minutes, but the algorithm gives the 10-year probability of a fracture. So it's gonna give the 10-year probability of a hip fracture and the 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture, so of the spine, forearm, hip, or shoulder. In the questionnaire for the FRAX, ask some questions that start giving you an idea of things that affect bone health. So really easy, they're going to be asking just age and height and weight, right? These things you can get from EMRs or your patient. really quickly and then they're going to be asking some questions like have they had a previous fracture? Did one of their parents fracture a hip? Are they smoking? Are they on medications like glucocorticoids? Do they have an inflammatory disease like rheumatoid arthritis? Do they drink excessive alcohol? All of these factors that can really affect our bone health negatively. It will also ask for their bone mineral density. And you do not have to have Betty's bone mineral density in order to fill this out and for it to be to give you a validated probability. The frax has been validated without a bone mineral density value. However, Betty may have her bone mineral density. She may have a DEXA scan, and you can use that value, but only for the femoral neck. It is only validated for the bone mineral density of the femoral neck. So that's the caveat there, right? So really quick and dirty, you can do the FRAX tool. It's going to shoot out a probability. What happens next? This is going to start to give you an idea, like, whew, there's a lot going on here that I didn't realize with Betty. Her skeletal health isn't really thriving. And let's assume that Betty has not had a bone mineral density scan. And you're really thinking, well, I mean, gosh, she smokes, she's been on glucocorticoids, she drinks alcohol, she has had a previous fracture, like, she should probably get a DEXA scan. and you're thinking like, but you know, what are some, like, should I suggest that? The great news is that there are guidelines that tell us if we should suggest that Betty get a bone marrow density scan. I will link the clinician's guide to prevention and treatment of osteoporosis as well for you all to look at, but it just gives some general guidelines. A lot of the things that you have just heard about from the FRAX tool. So, it will tell us that we should consider BMD testing if with individuals based on age, based on the clinical risk factors such as taking glucocorticoids or having an inflammatory disease, individuals who have had a fracture. So we have guidelines to tell us this. TESTING FOR OSTEOPOROSIS So You've run the FRAX tool, you've looked at the guidelines, you are sure, you're like, Betty needs to go get a DEXA scan. So you're gonna communicate this to Betty. But what you're gonna do next is not, hey Betty, I really want you to go get those bones looked at. So schedule that with your doctor. I'll see you next week. That's not what we're gonna do. you're gonna help Betty set that appointment up or call a doctor, right? You are going to help her advocate for herself. You're not just gonna give that piece of education and then peace out, Betty. So what can you do? You can get the doctor on speakerphone during your session with Betty. and you can guide the conversation while she asks to set up an appointment to get a DEXA scan done. You can make sure Betty knows how to get into her MyChart so she can send a message to her doctor and you can help guide her on how she should formulate that message so she's communicating effectively. Make sure that you are a guide during that process and that you're not just throwing an educational piece at her and expecting her to take care of it. Help her through the process. Okay, so let's say we got a DEXA scan scheduled for Betty and she goes and has her appointment. She gets her DEXA scan. She has her results. This is where you can have a major role, not only in helping to deal hope to Betty once we are looking at those results, but it's also gonna be your guide when you start to implement your interventions. And it gives you very critical information, okay? So if you all have not seen a DEXA scan in the wild and what that looks like, I'm gonna tell ya, it's not patient friendly. I have seen one after my mom had to get one before she had a lumbar fusion surgery. It is chock full of scary words like osteopenia, fracture, osteoporosis. There's a lot of negative values, right? Like her T-scores all over the place and there's these negative numbers. It'll say increased risk for fracture. It is not easy to comprehend. and it deals a lot of fear. So this is an opportunity to help Betty interpret what this means. And you can really offer a lot of hope here. So with the DEXA scan, right, and with this data, you can be looking at it, and it's gonna give you that T-score, right? Betty may be looking at this and be like, oh my gosh, this number is so low, this is awful, right? I'm so scared. you can deal hope because you know, based on the law of initial values, those lower T-scores are going to respond to bone loading the best. They're gonna have the best result from starting to load those bones up. That's an amazing thing. You can share that news. So even if that T-score is really low, you can say, Betty, that's all right. That low score, those bones, you're gonna respond the best. And together, we're gonna help get those bones stronger. So right away, you can start dealing some hope. It's also going to tell you where those low T-scores are. The location of where the osteopenia or osteoporosis is is incredibly critical. How many of you have had patients come into your clinic and say, I can't lift that because I have weak bones? And you know, Betty, if it was Betty, she may assume that her weak bones are all over the place. However, that DEXA scan could tell you that the only place where she has weak bones is in her radius. Okay, well, all those squats and the jumping and things that Betty's like, absolutely not, I can't do, they're kind of irrelevant because it's in her radius and not in the legs, right? So to help Betty alleviate some of that fear, you could reassure her where those weak bones are. And that could really work in your favor when you're trying to get her to buy in to do exercise. However, you are also thinking, I need to know where and where is important because you know that bones are going to adapt specifically to where load is put on them. So let's say the low T score is in Betty's hip. You know that you have to load that hip up in order for that bone mineral density to increase. However, you also are taking this information and being cautious to say where it is so that Betty knows, yes, it's weak here. She may be a little apprehensive to load that area. So you know that you can give her the hope of, hey, it's weak here, but your bones are strong in these other places. So we can start loading where those strong bones are. So you can gradually expose her and mitigate some of the fear she may have. The other piece of information that is really important from the DEXA scan that you get as a provider is that it just gives you the severity, right? How low is low in that T-score? Because that is going to determine your rate of loading progression. So you have to know, hey, maybe this is someone where we are not going to start with impact exercises, we're going to start with just resistance exercises. And maybe I'm going to modify where I place that weight based on where that low T-score is. And maybe if we do start impact, or when we start impact, it's going to be upper extremity assisted versus just having Betty do jumping right away. So it's incredibly important so you know where the entry point is of appropriate and safe loading. So the bone mineral density scan, helping Betty interpret that information and you using it as a guide, sets you up to be able to appropriately intervene and start loading those bones up. All right. That is it, that is what I got for you all. I want you to start getting really curious about your patient's skeletal health, and then get after these two easy actionables. Run the FRAX tool, advocate for a bone mineral density test. Once you get the DEXA scan and you get that information, interpret that with Betty, use that as your guide, use it to deliver hope to Betty. After that, it is off to the races with your loading interventions. this framework of how to manage osteoporosis. This is one small piece. We expand on this so much greater in our L2 course. We talk about medical management. We talk about further into guidelines and how to load and what's appropriate to load. And we dig into the research. We would love to see you in that L2 course so that you all can really get a comprehensive really get comprehensive knowledge of how to manage this condition. In our live course, we have an entire lab focused on impact training, so it gives you all the ideas, all the ideas. You get to try them out of how to initiate bone loading for your athletes who are seated and they are non-ambulatory, they're in wheelchairs, all the way up to a very high, highly active older adult. That's what I got for you guys. I would love to hear if you all run the Fractual this week or interpret your patient's DEXA scan with them. I would love to hear how that goes.

Why do economists focus so much on builders' confidence levels and metrics? One reason is because they are the key to many economic indicators and future housing inventory. Mike Preston, Co-Founder & Principal of Beacon Montclair Development and Managing Partner of C21 Revolution, shares what developers are looking for in a purchase and resale. As the BMD team's lead and acquisition and sale strategist, his insights on how builders approach their budgets can inform buyers and buyer's agents on how to best approach an offer on new construction. We discuss new construction trends, profitability, and how agents looking to get into evelopment can get started.
October is Menopause Awareness Month and October 20 is Osteoporosis Day, so it's only fitting we discuss the truths about working with osteoporosis fitness clients. Questions are abundant both among women diagnosed and trainers and coaches working with them. Information once on the internet lives on the internet and it's up to you to filter through it. Here's a little vetted information to help. Several references are included, but I encourage you to take your own primary research further. If you're working with someone with osteoporosis or osteopenia or you want to be a part of preventing it, you owe it to them and yourself to do your homework. Prior to dogma about weight management and lack of consistent information about prevention of bone loss are big contributors to a woman's risk of osteoporosis After diagnosis fear is the biggest obstacle many women face due to decades-long information that women with osteoporosis are delicate and should do less At this time 50% of women diagnosed with osteoporosis suffer a fracture During menopause transition bone loss can accelerate to 4% a year for up to 10 years according to previous studies reported by John Hopkins Misinformed from perpetuating outdated information from both doctors and trainers (since 2015 evidence of not only increased safety and viability of high impact and high intensity exercise for osteoporotic postmenopausal women is much more promising than prior goals of stopping or slowing losses) 41% of women over 40 had either osteopenia (>31%) or osteoporosis (>14%) in a 2010 study. Said differently, 31% of women over 40 had osteopenia and more than 30% of women over 60 had osteoporosis. The further from menopause (>10 years the increase in prevalence of osteoporosis = 40% compared to just 5 years post menopause at 9%) It's not only about calcium, it's about whether it's absorbed. Yes, to Vitamin D and magnesium but if gut issues persist and a woman is tolerating them or describing as “normal for me” there's a potential gap Intense weight training and high impact exercise have been safely employed in a number of studies since 2015 with positive results, no negative effects and a high adherence rate Yoga too has been proven to improve bone density with a daily practice of 12 poses each held for a minute Whole body vibration increased BMD by 2% with 5 minutes 3x a week in postmenopausal women.

What do you know about whole body vibration for bone density? Curious? Skeptical? Me too. But with more and more instances of degeneration, chronic illness or long haul preventing the active life that supports bone health, additional means of stimulating both muscle and bone density are always on my mind. Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional death in the world. Older women are especially at risk due to decreased strength, reaction skills, balance, and low bone density. Falls result in fracture 31% percent of the time and 95% of hip fractures are the result of falls. For those who've had a prior fracture, they are twice as at risk for a future fracture. Whole body vibration (WBV) was first used by NASA with astronauts as a way to overcome the muscle and bone losses experienced by astronauts in space in the early 60s. Why the Need for Whole Body Vibration for Bone Density? Let me give a little background on why this is so problematic. Misinformed from perpetuating outdated information from both doctors and trainers (since 2015 evidence of not only increased safety and viability of high impact and high intensity exercise for osteoporotic postmenopausal women is much more promising than prior goals of stopping or slowing losses) 41% of women over 40 had either osteopenia (>31%) or osteoporosis (>14%) in a 2010 study Said differently, 31% of women over 40 had osteopenia and more than 30% of women over 60 had osteoporosis. The further from menopause (>10 years the increase in prevalence of osteoporosis = 40% compared to just 5 years post menopause at 9%) Whole body vibration increased BMD by 2% with 5 minutes 3x a week (for 6 mos) in postmenopausal women. In physically restricted individuals it's an alternative to other exercise. In able-bodied, in combination with resistance training, WBV increases results of both muscle and bone regeneration. While I wouldn't advocate only doing whole body vibration for bone density if you're able to do more, in conjunction with resistance training exercises, impact to your tolerance level, and attention to dietary and gut health, whole body vibration for bone density is an “extra” form of insurance. It not only improves bone density, but is beneficial to muscle, balance, and healing or regeneration in the case of injury. “Whole-body vibration therapy is an intentional biomechanical stimulation of the body using various frequencies of vibrations with the motive of health improvement. Ever since its discovery, this therapy has been extensively used in physiotherapeutic measures and the sports industry. For its property of increasing bone mass and density, space agencies use this therapy on astronauts who return to Earth after long-term space missions to regain lost bone and muscle mass.

Fragility fractures are a major health concern for older adults and can result in disability, admission to hospital and long-term care, and reduced quality of life. The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care guideline published in CMAJ provides evidence-based recommendations on screening for primary prevention of fragility fractures.In this special episode of the CMAJ podcast, CMAJ editor-in-chief Dr. Kirsten Patrick speaks to Dr. Roland Grad, a family physician and an author of the new guideline, about the evidence reviews conducted by the task force, the main points of the new guideline, and how family doctors can use it in practice. The guideline recommends screening females over 65 using the FRAX tool without bone mineral density (BMD) as a risk assessment first strategy. Dr. Grad emphasizes the importance of shared decision making, which can be facilitated using the Fragility Fracture Decision Aid, which incorporates the FRAX tool. This online, interactive tool helps guide discussions with patients about their fracture risk and potential benefits of preventive treatment.Links to resources mentioned in the interview:Canadian Task Force on Preventive Healthcare guidelineFragility Fractures Clinician InfographicFragility Fracture Decision Aid Article in Journal of Systematic ReviewsJoin us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

If you are a midlife woman I'm going to share some success stories here I think that you will love. With each, I'm going to share a research study linking to why and what happened. These successes are no accidents. I also want you to know that these women before they started strength training, weren't. Obvious, right? But we forget it. We think, well that's because they've always done it. We all start from a place of not doing it and move to doing it. Some of them were doing too much and came to realize that finding their sweet spot was the key to easier results. Others had to change their focus from tons of endurance to one of more muscle so that less fat could also be a truth. Somewhere here, whether you need a shift in your program, you want reinforcement you're on the right path, or you want to get started but are still on the fence wondering if now is the time… there's something for you here. 00:00 Diane changed her bone density by strength training at home during the pandemic from January to September of 2020. 03:45 “For this type of exercise to be effective a joint reaction force superior to common daily activity with sensitive muscle strengthening must be determined.” Whole Plate Vibration - effect for deteriorating elderly, but only effective at gains when combined with strength training component. “However the combination of exercise should be tailored on the patient's clinical features. No agreement exists on the best protocol in terms of duration, frequency, and the type of exercises to be combined.” The exercise types most effective on BMD for the neck of femur, which should be considered in clinical practice, appear to be the progressive resistance strength training for the lower limbs. The most effective intervention for BMD at the spine has been suggested to be the multicomponent training exercise programme. Strength training enough for muscle strength may still not be enough for bone density. Jennifer lost 100 lbs and she hit that threshold during the pandemic combining lifting weights at home with her regular walking and cardiovascular training. 07:25 Jennifer followed a training program consisting of two high intensity(heavy) strength training sessions a week, one functional movement session, and two interval training sessions along with daily movement in the form of walking, golf, hiking, biking, or swimming. For post-menopausal women, HIIT compared to endurance exercise training is much more effective at removing adipose tissue and visceral belly fat. Weight training even with minimal exercises is proven to predict weight control in post menopausal women. Weight loss comes from increasing lean muscle creating metabolic changes adequate enough to promote energy but under the threshold where rest or couch compensation occurs. Jennifer likes to work hard. INsulin sensitivity is another reason post menopausal women want to exercise. In a pre-diabetic state, midlife women often need the boost of muscle to support blood sugar control. Even T1 Diabetics find more opportune exercise in strength training compared to aerobic exercise. (3) Jeanie says she was doing too much too often, or caught wondering if she had time to do it today, and not stretching or knowing the importance of it. 10:36 In spite of this, it's important to note that I'm asked frequently about women in perimenopause should do Flipping 50, or women in post menopause (in their 60s and 70s) should do the same as Flipping 50. The before (peri), mid, and post menopause workouts are indeed similar. One study recently hypothesized that post menopause women would have more muscle damage due to lower hormone levels or what they called “hormone deprivation.” It was disproven. Heavy weight training positive outcomes without negative repercussions were experienced by both peri and post menopausal women. Now, consider that study done in 2021, but… on women not on HRT. The difference I would hypothesize and have seen it myself and in our community is that those women on HRT have an easier time gaining lean muscle and losing fat. Or avoiding muscle loss and fat gains, depending on their status. Kathy mentioned gratitude for the safe form and demonstrations of it that helped her. Beyond that it was the community that gave her such a boost in realizing that she could exercise even when hosting house guests since another person in her Facebook group had followed my suggestion that the way we deal with the holidays can be different. 13:44 There is some evidence that women are more prone to injury compared to men, and older women more at risk than younger. But there is not a lot of data on this. The injuries to tend to occur in overuse syndrome more than they don't, and in the application of endurance exercise. This makes sense, as the repetitive injury strain causes break down over time. And a singular sport activity like running or even too much walking creates muscle imbalances eventually. This 40 year fitness professional is a prime example of this. It wasn't when I was doing marathons and teaching classes frequently but when I became a triathlete with a much more balanced use of my body that I truly became fit. Those of us who have an addictive personality though, and we are all vulnerable to addition. Feeling good feels good and we tend to want more. (greedy!) and even that can go too far. Emily says she always thought weights would end up being monotonous but that the program kept it interesting and different each time. She also appreciated that knowing only having to do it twice a week is good. 17:45 Women's perceptions of strength training is changing, but slowly. Interestingly enough, the older we are the more committed we get. Barriers include being too busy, lack of desire, and too much discipline required to continuously take part in a regular resistance training program, even for young college women. The biggest barriers weren't gaining bulk, or size. Still some of those feelings linger for women over 50 who grew up with those myths - and with a high carb diet that most likely contributed to any “bulk” experienced. Hana said this in the middle of the Stronger program: definitely stronger, happier, better sleep, more muscle and don't even care about the scale. Hard to believe she said, but true. 19:35 The struggle to weigh and put your measure of success on the scale is real. Giving that up, letting it go is empowering. Knowing what you gain or lose can be important. Did you lose muscle ? or fat? Did you gain? Muscle? Scale Shopping?? My scale recommendations so you can monitor. Infrequently. Susan finished STRONGER Tone & Define definitely seeing more muscle definition. She lost 2 inches from her belly and 1 inch from her hips. Clothes fit better. After shoulder and back injuries last year she managed to recover and use this program to get back into weights. So fantastic! The goal to keep in mind, is strength training enough to create results and never so much that other activity is compromised. Allyson was pleased with the program and her progress. She had definition in her triceps which she never had before. Joanna noted she actually did the exercises for 12 weeks which never happened in the gym. She said it was much better for her than at gym with leeway for time. Convenience of exercise is big. The resistance to strength training is often multifactorial: Inconvenient Time Uncomfortable in a gym The reasons given by all-ages of women for exercise at home: Don't want to be seen exercising Don't want to commute Not in the mood Tired, too much fatigue Sore, achy or don't want to be This is really a big part of the reason behind the frequency of programming and encouragement toward movement outside of exercise. It allows freedom, complete recovery, and reduction of injury or soreness. One of our former students, Tamara, said this, “the STRONGER program impacted my life. The lessons you learn on lifting weight allows you to feel comfortable walking into any gym. This program was one of the best things I could have done for myself. Even when women begin a program to mitigate menopause symptoms - bone or muscle loss, belly fat or weight gains - they stay, if they can stay beyond a sticking point, because it becomes enjoyable and empowering according to a recent study in BMC Women's Health. And I didn't need research to tell me this. I see it daily. Comments like, I started for weight loss, but I got my life back, are a frequent occurrence here at Flipping 50. Terry said she had started gaining weight and when she tried what always worked, it didn't. She gained more weight, about 16 lbs. She felt weaker, tired, anxious and was having hot flashes. She found me on YouTube and was trying to piece together an exercise program. She learned about cortisol, core exercises, why situps are not good for the back, so when she got the info about STRONGER, she was ready to find out what else she didn't know. She realized she can eat a variety of food and still lose inches = amazing? She's getting more energy. She also did the companion Food Flip program and said she thinks everyone should - within 2 days of starting it her hot flashes! 27:54 If you're on the fence… I hope that these comments and the research behind them have helped you. I hope you understand the why, that they're no accidents. The programs are designed to support your physical and your emotional changes during midlife and later. And if not this program, something. If you're unsure, you need to talk to a real human, DM me on Instagram. I don't check FB messenger often so that is not a good place. But I see and respond to all DMs on Instagram if you message at @flipping50tv (be sure it's got the tv on it) I have three questions for you: Are you strength training enough to positively impact your bone & muscle? Could you be strength training too much so it negatively impacts your adrenals and fat? Have you considered STRONGER Tone & Define to get started on a made-for-menopause path?

Someone once said that you 'won't start to feel more like your normal self until 5 years after the death'. Is this true? Is it partially true? Does it really ever happen? In this episode we discuss how our emotions and sense of self changed between before-Mum-dying (BMD) and after-Mum-dying (AMD) - and how those parts of us changed or returned after 5 years. Are there any parts of the before-parent-dying (BPD) self that you miss? Let us know!

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter dives deep into the topic of bone health and explains why this is an important topic for everyone, from children to the elderly. He begins with an overview of bone mineral density, how it's measured, how it changes over the course of life, and the variability between sexes largely due to changes in estrogen levels.
