In this Mighty Minerals episode, Jared takes a deep dive into silica's role in collagen production, connective tissue health, bone strength, cardiovascular wellness, and healthy aging. He explains why modern diets may provide less silica than previous generations, how aging can affect silica status, and why form matters when it comes to bioavailability. Jared also discusses common food sources, the impact of soil depletion and food processing, the relationship between silica and aluminum exposure, and the differences between bamboo silica, horsetail, and orthosilicic acid. If you're interested in supporting healthy skin, hair, nails, bones, arteries, and connective tissues as you age, this episode offers practical insights into one of nature's most underappreciated minerals.Products:Vital D3/K2 High PotencyVital D3/K2Ultimate Vitality MultiBiosil Advanced Collagen GeneratorAdditional Information:648: Mighty Minerals: Boron - The Overlooked Mineral for Testosterone, Bones & Healthy AgingVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared shines a spotlight on boron, one of the most overlooked minerals in human nutrition and a nutrient with surprising implications for bone health, hormone balance, vitamin D activity, and healthy aging. A major focus of this episode is osteoporosis prevention and bone density support, including why simply taking more calcium may not be the answer. Jared explores the science behind boron's role in calcium retention, magnesium utilization, vitamin D metabolism, and healthy bone formation while also discussing the importance of key bone-building cofactors like vitamin K2, silica, and magnesium. He breaks down the research on osteoporosis, osteopenia, and the "calcium paradox," while explaining how boron may support healthy hormone levels, cognitive function, joint comfort, and overall wellness. If you're concerned about aging well, maintaining strong bones, or optimizing your health naturally, this episode is a must-listen.Products:Vital D3/K2 High PotencyVital D3/K2Solaray Calcium HydroxyapatiteMagnesium Bisglycinate Ultimate Vitality MultiHakala Labs BoroTabVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-11-2026: Dr. Dawn discusses fascia — the gelatinous network of sugary proteins, salts, and collagen bundles that has been known to acupuncturists and osteopaths for millennia but ignored in conventional medical training. New confocal laser endomicroscopy technology has finally visualized this "interstitium" as a fluid-filled space draining to lymph nodes, present throughout the GI tract, urinary bladder, dermis, and peribronchial tissues. The structure may play roles in cancer metastasis, edema, fibrosis, and mechanical tissue function. An emailer asks about elevated organic arsenic levels (from sardines) and ultra-filtered dairy. Dr. Dawn explains that arsenobetaine—the protein-bonded form found in fish, is harmless and passes through the body, while inorganic and methylated arsenic accumulate in bone and collagen-rich tissues. In a second question about the safety of ultrafiltered dairy, she notes ultra-filtered products may carry more microplastics from extensive plastic filters and tubing exposure, with aged cheese being particularly concentrated since water removal increases plastic density. An emailer asks about breast MRI contrast options. Dr. Dawn explains that breast MRI requires gadolinium contrast because tumors leak through their poorly-formed blood vessels, creating necessary visual contrast. She strongly recommends macrocyclic gadolinium (a stable birdcage structure) over the linear form, which slips into bones, skin, the brain's caudate nucleus, liver, and spleen for at least eight years and rarely, can cause nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. There is some suggestion it may trigger brain inflammation. She suggests listing linear gadolinium as a drug sensitivity in medical charts. Researchers harvested exosomes from semen. The exosomes evolved to help sperm penetrate egg barriers, making them ideal delivery vehicles for drugs too toxic for traditional administration. These bubble-like vesicles can penetrate the eye to distribute a manganese dioxide nanozyme compound (CMG) across ocular barriers to treat retinoblastoma, a childhood eye cancer typically requiring eyeball removal. Researchers used extracellular vesicles (effectively artificial exosomes) delivered via nasal spray to reverse brain aging in mice. The vesicles carried messenger RNA targeting the NLRP2 inflammasome, restoring mitochondrial activity in neurons and improving memory and recognition in treated animals. The nasal delivery route bypasses the blood-brain barrier, opening possibilities for treating cognitive deterioration without injections or surgical implants. An emailer reports his wife two inches shorter at a new Kaiser facility in another state. Dr. Dawn first considers measurement inconsistency (shoes on or off), then suggests evaluating for compression fractures, disc disease, and parathyroid tumors. She recommends a bone scan, C-terminal telopeptide testing to assess active bone breakdown, and intact PTH to rule out parathyroid pathology if osteoporosis is identified by DEXA scan. Dr. Dawn explores a new brain model addressing how 86 billion neurons store more memory than classical models predict. Astrocytes, previously known mainly for creating myelin sheaths, form tripartite synapses with neurons connecting to thousands of synapses simultaneously, communicating via calcium signaling and gliotransmitters. This could provide the higher-order coupling needed for our dense associative memory that pairwise synaptic connections cannot explain. Disrupting astrocyte-neuron connections in the hippocampus impairs both memory storage and retrieval, supporting this theoretical model. A Nature Neuroscience study found abdominal muscle contractions compress blood vessels connected to the brain and spine via the vertebral venous plexus, physically rocking the brain within the skull. This mechanical swishing may explain how exercise helps clear brain toxins and prevent neurodegenerative disorders, potentially leading to inflatable abdominal devices that could aid brain cleansing during sleep. Montelukast, the common asthma and allergy drug, has been found to block a protein hijacked by triple-negative breast cancer that converts immune cells into "sleeper agents" that clear paths for tumor invasion rather than attacking cancer. Dr. Dawn notes AI is increasingly identifying these drug repurposing opportunities by analyzing molecular shapes and receptor compatibility.

STRONGER BONES LIFESTYLE: REVERSING THE COURSE OF OSTEOPOROSIS NATURALLY
What does it actually mean to fracture-proof your bones? For most women navigating an osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosis, the immediate focus is placed entirely on shifting the T-score on a bone density testFor most women navigating an osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosis, the immediate focus is placed entirely on shifting the T-score on a bone density testFor most women navigating an osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosis, the immediate focus is placed entirely on shifting the T-score on a bone density test.

There's SO much information about wellness hacks, it's hard to know what's worth trying. And then there are pharmaceuticals like GLP-1 medications that seem like the magic bullet for metabolic health. With all of these, are we setting ourselves up for the next public health crisis? Before you or someone you love considers a pharmaceutical or biohack, listen to this episode. Jenn Trepeck of Salad with a Side of Fries breaks down why the wellness industry deserves more credit than mainstream media gives it, and why pharmaceutical solutions like GLP-1 medications and statins cannot carry the full weight of America's health crisis. From affordable, healthy eating strategies to the alarming long-term risks of overreliance on a single hormone pathway, Jenn makes a compelling, research-backed case for a more comprehensive approach to metabolic health. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why GLP-1 medications may be following the same trajectory as statin drugs, and what that historical pattern reveals about where we are headed with metabolic health and long-term outcomes.✅ How eating in season and shopping at ethnic grocery stores can make whole foods nutrition genuinely affordable, healthy eating for more people, regardless of income level.✅ The critical connection between reduced food intake on GLP-1 medications, nutrient deficiency, and the alarming rise of osteoporosis and cancer risk, especially for younger populations and children.✅ Why fat cell memory and the Minnesota Starvation Experiment both reveal that weight loss without lifestyle medicine and nutritional education is unlikely to produce lasting results.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into real-life wellness and weight loss, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Why mainstream media voices unfairly dismiss the wellness industry05:50 A critique of how major journalists cover GLP-1 medications without consulting balanced sources or opposing viewpoints13:33 The argument that pharmaceutical solutions have become the default answer instead of addressing the root causes of metabolic health issues22:29 Discussion of income, access, and why processed foods are cheaper than whole foods nutrition is a structural public health failure30:37 Practical tips for affordable healthy eating, including seasonal eating and shopping at ethnic grocery stores for better quality produce34:39 The GLP-1 conversation begins in earnest, with Jenn explaining why she calls them our generation's statin drug37:02 A deep dive into statin drug statistics, heart disease rates, and why more prescriptions have not produced better cardiovascular health outcomes41:14 Jenn outlines her predictions, including rising osteoporosis risk, bone density loss, and increased colorectal cancer risk tied to low fiber intake44:31 The role of fat cell memory, the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, and why GLP-1 medications without lifestyle medicine will not produce lasting changeKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Have you checked your bone density lately, or are you waiting until you are 65 to finally get a DEXA scan and find out you have osteopenia? In this highly timely episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Dr. Nick Trubee, an exercise physiologist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, to discuss the critical connection between muscle mass and bone health. With the massive rise in GLP-1 medications and the natural onset of perimenopause, women are experiencing rapid, unprecedented muscle and bone loss. Dr. Trubee completely shifts the mindset of what fitness should look like for longevity. He explains the shocking reason why chronic endurance cardio might actually reduce your bone mass, and why we need to prioritize resistance training to build robust, energetic bodies. We break down the intimidation factor of lifting weights, and Dr. Trubee shares the five highly effective, foundational exercises you need to start doing today—including squats, step-ups, and farmer's carries—to mechanically load and rebuild your skeleton. We also dive into the science of impact training, how bones constantly remodel themselves like a kitchen renovation, and why you need to dramatically increase your protein intake to nearly 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight. If you want to avoid frailty and remain completely mobile in your 70s and 80s, this conversation is an absolute must-listen. Guest Information:Dr. Nick Trubee holds a PhD from the University of Kentucky and focuses on bone density optimization. He is the host of The Bone Health Blueprint podcast. You can explore his online training platform at TrubeeHealth.com or follow him on Instagram at @dr.nicktrubee.
Most people think strong bones are defined by a single number: bone density. But what if that number is only telling part of the story?In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong sits down with Dr. John Neustadt for a second conversation centered on his latest work in bone health and fracture prevention. Together, they unpack a critical distinction—bone density versus bone strength—and why focusing solely on scan results may leave many people at risk.Dr. Neustadt brings a research-driven perspective to the overlooked factors that truly determine fracture risk, including medications, nutrient status, fall risk, and even gut health. This conversation expands the lens on osteoporosis beyond postmenopausal women and into a broader, more actionable understanding of lifelong skeletal health.If the goal is not just to improve numbers, but to prevent fractures and maintain independence, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.Learn more at https://www.nbihealth.com/***We've added NBI Health to our trusted affiliates.

Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density during menopause. Men lose 20–30% over their lifetime. Most people are told to take calcium or medication — but there's a proven formula that not only stops this process, it reverses it. Sal, Adam, and Justin break down a randomized controlled trial where 65-year-old women gained 3% bone density in 8 months just by lifting weights, share the story of a client who reversed osteoporosis so dramatically her doctor insisted on redoing the test, and explain the most common mistake active people make: training consistently while eating too little, which can cause bone loss no matter how hard you work.

This week, Tee sits down with John Neustadt, ND, a Bastyr University graduate, internationally recognized expert in integrative and functional medicine, and #1 Amazon best-selling author of Fracture-Proof Your Bones (2nd Edition). As founder of Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc., John has published over 100 medical articles and is among the most cited researchers in the world for his work on osteoporosis and fracture prevention. In this episode, he shares why his mission is to shift the conversation from simply improving bone density scores to actually reducing real-world fracture risk. In the conversation, John explains why bone density alone is an incomplete measure of bone health, sharing a powerful personal story of a hip fracture that occurred despite improved scan results. He breaks down the broader factors that influence fracture risk, including chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, medication use, and lifestyle habits. The discussion also highlights gaps in conventional care, where limited time and training can leave patients without a full understanding of what truly drives bone strength and resilience. In addition, John offers practical, research-driven strategies to help listeners take a more comprehensive approach to bone health. He emphasizes the importance of a Mediterranean-style diet, adequate protein intake, minimizing ultra-processed foods, and identifying medications—such as proton pump inhibitors—that may impair digestion, nutrient absorption, and microbiome balance. He also discusses signs of gut dysfunction, potential testing options, and supportive interventions like whole foods, time-restricted eating, and targeted supplementation. This episode provides clear, actionable insights for both individuals and clinicians looking to build stronger bones and reduce fracture risk through a more holistic, informed approach.

We got overconfident with a shoe experiment before this great episode! It started with a discussion of race-day fueling of Tadej Pogacar (who might be the greatest endurance athlete ever). 250 grams of carbs and 1430 calories for breakfast?! We zoom out to talk about cycling fueling generally, along with possible gender differences.Then it was a big science discussion on a new study on heat and altitude that upended some of the older conventional wisdom. There seems to be increasing agreement across studies: heat training builds hemoglobin mass, and it may be additive when combined with altitude.And this one was full of awesome topics! Other topics: David's shoe-alteration experiment that went horribly wrong, Megan's tips for improving bone density, our upcoming Boston Marathon trip, a study on doing one workout versus two workouts in a single day, how caffeine genotype affect performance, supershoes and injury risk, how to think about sleep, and video games.Come for the science. Stay for the greatest roast of all time. David could be served with gravy at Thanksgiving after this one.We love you all!

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-09-2026: Dr. Dawn shares a follow-up from an emailer in Switzerland providing seven functional medicine practitioner addresses near Zurich and Aargau, noting that Switzerland uses different terminology but is actually an "epicenter of functional medicine." Dr. Dawn calls for support of the bipartisan Break Up Big Medicine Act, modeled on Glass-Steagall, which would prohibit common ownership of medical providers with insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, or drug wholesalers. She explains how vertical integration by companies like UnitedHealth, CVS/Aetna, and Cigna allows them to game medical loss ratio requirements through self-dealing while driving up costs. A European clinical trial implanted 2mm x 2mm light sensors beneath the retinas of 38 people with advanced macular degeneration, with 80% gaining clinically meaningful improvement (two lines on the vision chart) after one year. The device bypasses damaged rods and cones, sending camera images from glasses directly to the optic nerve. Dr. Dawn explains that air temperature warnings are measured in shade, but direct sunlight can add 20°C to heat exposure. Heat stroke triggers gut permeability, releasing lipopolysaccharides that cause cytokine storms and organ failure. She advises fans over air conditioning when possible, shade, hydration, and loose natural-fabric clothing. An emailer asks if low-dose oral strontium supplementation has the same problem as pharmaceutical strontium. Dr. Dawn confirms it improves bone density scores without reducing fracture risk, and recommends telopeptide testing to monitor actual bone loss after discontinuing. An emailer's doctor wants to prescribe high-dose dexamethasone for low platelets. Dr. Dawn advises against rushing to steroids since platelets of 40 are adequate for clotting, recommending a hematology consultation and repeat testing with citrated blood. Dr. Dawn reviews fiber types: wheat dextrin (Benefiber) is fermentable but technically gluten-free; guar fiber (Sunfiber) ferments slowly and works for low-FODMAP diets; inulin feeds bifidobacteria and produces anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids; methylcellulose (Citrucel) is non-fermentable; and psyllium (Metamucil) is facing a class action lawsuit over undisclosed lead contamination. An emailer with varicose veins reports recurring superficial blood clots. Dr. Dawn explains these don't travel to lungs like deep vein clots, but repeated clotting suggests possible thrombophilia requiring workup. She recommends consulting a vascular surgeon about superficial venous ligation under local anesthesia. Analysis of 25,000 wearable users found that three daily "exercise snacks" of just 1-2 minutes of vigorous activity (stairs, running for a bus) reduced all-cause mortality by 38-40%. Benefits plateau around 7,500 steps daily, and simply standing up every couple of hours dramatically reduces sedentary risks.

Can the right exercise really 'age-proof' your body? Could you really lower your risk of ovarian cancer by asking your surgeon to remove your fallopian tubes while they’re already performing another routine procedure? And what do you do when decades of dieting have left you with what feels like weight-loss PTSD? In this episode, we talk to Professor Jeff Coombes from the University of Queensland to find out why 'high-intensity' doesn't have to be terrifying and which specific exercise actually drops your risk of heart disease and diabetes. We also talk about why the fallopian tubes - not the ovaries - might be the true starting point for some ovarian cancers and how 'opportunistic' surgery could save lives. Plus, in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam helps Carolyn, who is 40 and struggling with the mental and physical burnout of PCOS and weight-loss plateaus. We explain why ‘calories in, calories out’ is a toxic myth and how to rebuild trust with a body you feel has betrayed you.

I brought Paul Buono back for a more "hinged" conversation and for a new bi-weekly segment I'm calling "FitBusters".This episode gets into one of the hottest debates in nutrition right now — seed oils vs. beef tallow. Are seed oils actually destroying your health? Is beef tallow the answer? We break it down without the fear-mongering, share our own real experiences with food, and land somewhere that might surprise you: it's about balance, not extremes.We also get personal about alcohol — Paul opens up about his past relationship with it and why moderation isn't just a buzzword, it's a practice. Then we shift into one of the trendiest pieces of fitness gear right now: the weighted vest. Do they actually help your bone density, or is it just another thing to spend money on? We dig into the research, talk Wolf's Law, and share what we think actually moves the needle when it comes to building stronger bones long-term.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Podcast Chaos03:04 Life Updates and Personal Growth06:02 Transitioning to Fitness Topics09:06 Debate on Seed Oils vs. Beef Tallow12:06 Health Implications of Fats15:01 Anecdotal Evidence and Personal Experiences17:51 Finding Balance in Diets23:09 Navigating Alcohol and Health24:04 The Moderation Mindset25:39 The Weighted Vest Trend28:02 Bone Density and Weighted Vests31:49 Top Strategies for Bone Health35:31 The Psychology of Movement40:00 Final Thoughts on Health and Wellness

Most people think lifting weights is about aesthetics or performance. But the real power of strength training goes far beyond what you see in the mirror. Muscle and bone are protective tissues that regulate metabolism, support brain health, maintain hormonal balance, and keep us resilient as we age.In this episode, TC and Chris Nicole break down the science behind strength training and longevity. You'll learn:How contracting muscle acts as a metabolic and endocrine organ, releasing myokines that influence metabolism, inflammation, brain function, and fat tissueWhy strength declines faster than muscle size, and how sarcopenia affects men and women differentlyThe truth about hormone spikes during heavy lifting — and why receptor sensitivity is often more important than absolute hormone levelsHow bones respond to mechanical load, plus insights from the LIFTMOR trial on high-intensity resistance training for postmenopausal womenPractical strategies for training smart, staying strong, and maintaining independence as you ageWhether you lift for aesthetics, performance, or health, this episode shows why muscle isn't just decoration - it's protection.
In this video, Dr. Doug breaks down the research on estradiol levels and how hormone therapy can influence bone density. He reviews clinical data comparing different estradiol dosing strategies and explains why hormone needs vary from woman to woman. The discussion also explores whether adding testosterone provides additional benefit for bone health. Most importantly, he highlights why optimizing hormones must be individualized rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10321913/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24905063/
Strength after 40 is not optional. It is necessary. The body changes with age, but the right training keeps it capable, strong, and resilient.Welcome to the Happy, Healthy, Strong Podcast — hosted by Adam Lane. This show looks at what sustainable health really means through supportive nutrition, intentional movement, and habits that build strength without extremes.Episode HighlightsIn this episode, Adam Lane and Coach Sam Libby explain how functional strength training supports adults in their 40s and 50s by maintaining muscle mass, improving bone density, and strengthening movements used in everyday life. Foundational exercises like trap bar deadlifts, squats, lunges, and step-ups help build strength safely through controlled, moderate-intensity training. Proper nutrition, especially adequate protein intake, supports muscle maintenance and recovery. Mobility work, foam rolling, and isometric holds improve muscle activation, flexibility, and injury prevention while supporting long-term health.Episode OutlineWhy functional strength training matters for adults in their 40s and 50sFoundational movements that build practical strength for everyday activitiesTraining with controlled movements and moderate intensity for long-term safetyAdjusting workouts based on energy levels, injuries, and individual limitationsThe role of mobility work, foam rolling, and recovery routinesWhy consistent training produces better long-term results than extreme workoutsReverse dieting and increasing calorie intake to support metabolism and muscle growthThe importance of adequate protein intake for strength and recoveryUsing isometric holds to activate muscles and improve neuromuscular recruitmentEpisode Chapters00:00 Welcome to Happy Healthy Strong & guest intro01:14 Overwhelm in the gym & info overload online01:56 Functional training for 40s/50s: real-life strength03:01 Foundational moves vs flashy, risky exercises03:43 Strength priorities as we age: function over vanity05:14 Setting realistic, attainable goals06:05 Desk jobs, posture & everyday work capacity07:06 Trap bar deadlifts, step-ups & safe heavy lifting09:46 Scaling, substitutions & training around pain12:23 Foam rolling, bands & simple mobility routines21:40 Consistency over intensity: “3x50” training mindset27:23 Strength, muscle mass & reverse dieting for adultsAction TakenContact ORS Physical Therapy (Dan) to coordinate referrals and begin physical therapy support for members who need itUpdate the training program to include isometric pulls and holds to improve muscle activation and neuromuscular recruitmentProvide 15-minute foam rolling and mobility sessions to help members loosen tight areas before or after workoutsConclusionStrength training becomes more important with age, but it does not require extreme workouts or complicated movements. Consistent training built around foundational exercises helps maintain muscle, support bone health, and improve everyday function. When paired with proper nutrition, mobility work, and recovery, strength becomes a tool that supports long-term health and independence.CTAListen to the episode and follow the show for more conversations on building strength, improving health, and living a stronger life.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oakstrengthInstagram: @oakstrengthThank you for listening.

In this video, Dr. Doug reviews the newly published BONEMORE randomized trial comparing osteogenic loading (OsteoStrong, bioDensity) to a traditional exercise program for bone health. He breaks down the study results, which showed no meaningful differences in bone density, bone turnover markers, or bone strength after nine months. Dr. Doug also highlights several design flaws in the study and explains why better research is still needed to determine who may truly benefit from osteogenic loading.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41748967/

Subscribe to Forever Strong Insider: https://foreverstrong.supercast.comIf you are only focusing on building muscle, you are missing half the equation for long-term mobility. In this mashup episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon brings together top orthopedic experts to discuss the critical importance of joint and tendon health.While muscle develops relatively quickly, your tendons and ligaments can take 6 to 9 months to fully adapt to a new training stimulus. This gap is where most injuries happen. We dive deep into the biological mechanics of tendons, the"athletic accommodation timeline," and why you must progressively overload your connective tissue—not just your muscle bellies.You will learn:The Menopause Connection: Why women face a 30% higher risk of arthritis and rapid bone loss after age 50, and the role of estrogen in joint inflammation.Osteoporosis Prevention: Why high-impact "flight" exercises (jumping) are more effective for bone density than traditional lifting alone.The Frozen Shoulder Mystery: How to identify the warning signs and why this condition is often linked to hormonal shifts rather than trauma.Injury Recovery & Prehab: The truth about PRP, needle tenotomy, and the "anti-fragility" mindset needed to build a resilient body.The History of Muscle: How ancient Greek views of "pneuma" and the "gift of strength" shaped our modern misunderstanding of movement.Stop training until you break. Learn how to track your progress, prioritize stability over raw mobility, and design a life built for anti-fragility.0:00 - The Gap Between Muscle and Tendon Adaptation 1:32 - What Are Tendons?
