Want to feel stronger, steadier, and more capable for the next 30 years? In this episode, I sit down with strength coach Megan Dahlman to map out a clear, science-backed path for women 50+ to build real-world strength—without injury, confusion, or intimidation.We bust common fitness myths (“just lift heavy,” “bash your bones,” “jump every day”) and replace them with smarter, safer strategies that protect joints, support bone density, and build lasting confidence. Megan shares how to train around arthritis, osteopenia, or joint replacements, use bodyweight and posture work to create balance, and why core control and rotation are key for mobility and pain relief.From pickleball prep and agility drills to simple movement snacks you can do anywhere, this conversation gives you practical tools to move through life's decades with strength and ease—so you can keep traveling, playing, and living fully without limits.Website where you can find Megan's masterclasses, group training, and podcast.https://www.vigeofit.com/abouthttps://www.instagram.com/megandahlman/_________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

Join Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® to become a coach! When is it too late for bone density improvement? When do you have to resign to the fact you're just going to maintain - and that's significant? I have to be honest - I was insulted! I was optimistic and maybe a little self-righteous! But the truth is… so many things can follow you. For me it may have been late teens early 20s I was very thin. Active, fit, running and lifting too… but extremely thin and not eating well. That's a key time for bone building: essentially we still have time to “bank” bone until we're 30. But without consuming enough or absorbing enough nutrients that support bone density, that could have followed me. You and I didn't test our bones at 30 to know if we even reached an ideal peak. So it will be a mystery to us exactly why we may have osteopenia or osteoporosis in spite of a very healthy lifestyle of truly doing all the things. There are 4 specific types of exercise that actually build bone, and running alone isn't one of them. This is exactly why I'm passionate about our upcoming workshop. I want to save you from learning this the hard way like I did. Join me Monday, October 20th at 4pm Pacific - we'll go through - move through- all 4 components, plus I'll answer your questions live.
In this episode, Laurel and Sarah take a look at one of the most influential and controversial voices in women's health: Dr. Stacy Sims. Known for the phrase “women are not small men,” Sims has built her brand on the idea that women need entirely different training and nutrition strategies than men.Laurel and Sarah trace Sims' rise to prominence, the research she leans on, and the rhetorical playbook she uses on major platforms like the Mel Robbins Podcast, and the Huberman Lab podcast. They examine how Sims' is able to persuade listeners of her ideas, even though her catchy slogans and bold claims outpace the evidence.Rather than just fact-checking Sims' most dubious claims on cycle syncing, fasted training, cardio, and how women should train, this episode instead focuses on how Sims' messages are delivered. You'll listen for how Sims' and the hosts of these podcasts frequently employ persuasive tactics like appeals to authority, fearmongering, absolutist framing, pseudo-feminist virtue signaling, and what Laurel and Sarah call “mechanism theater” can make the weak evidence and shaky reasoning behind the claims sound stronger than it is. These strategies aren't unique to Sims; you'll start noticing these persuasive tactics everywhere, especially in menopause marketing and wellness content online.SIGN UP for the FREE CLASS for Bone Density CourseFOLLOW @MovementLogicTutorials on InstagramRESOURCESSims' TedX talk110: Fact-Checking Female-Specific Training & Nutrition Advice with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhDDebate between Sims and Colenso-Semple on Docs Who LiftPost Debate Interview on Barbell Medicine109: Hot Flashes, Cold Facts: Menopause Myths that Won't Die62: Make McGill Make SenseBulky mugSocial Post from Dr. Colenso-Semple about choice to use mechanistic, rat, or men's data108: Breathing for Bone Density?

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Dr. Sarah Court and Laurel Beversdorf critically evaluate the claims made by YogaU Online about the connections between breathing practices and bone health during a recent promotional webinar for a new workshop called “Breath As Medicine: Yogic Breathing for Vital Aging.” They meticulously analyze research studies cited by YogaU, debunking pseudoscientific assertions about nitric oxide production, VO2 max, and the impact of breathing on bone density. The hosts highlight the ethical implications of such misleading information and emphasize the importance of evidence-based practices in the fitness and yoga communities. The discussion also touches on marketing tactics that prey on the fears of older women, underscoring the need for transparency and integrity in health advice.Sign up for the Bone Density Course Interest List here!Movement Logic on Instagram03:48 Calling Out Pseudoscience05:19 Yoga U's Dubious Claims17:47 The Breath as Medicine Workshop18:39 Debunking the Claims32:57 Understanding Breathing Pathologies01:01:56 Lung Function and Bone Mineral Density: A Study Review01:03:57 Debunking Misleading Claims in Yoga Marketing01:09:38 Sleep Apnea Studies and Their Misuse01:17:57 Hypoxia and Bone Health: Misinterpretations01:23:23 Nitric Oxide and Aging: Separating Fact from Fiction01:41:02 Cardiovascular Fitness: Misconceptions and Realities01:50:47 Yoga U's Ethical Dilemma and Call for Accountability01:59:38 Conclusion and Call to ActionReferences:Episode 5 Does Yoga Asana Build Bone Density?Episode 38 Got Bones?

Endocrinologist Joy Wu says that osteoporosis can affect more than half of women and a quarter of men over 50 – often without symptoms until a fracture changes everything, leading to a loss of mobility and independence. Wu explains why bones weaken with age and how to strengthen them through exercise and smart medicine. Her lab is exploring innovative drugs and turning skin cells into new bone-forming osteoblasts. We're delving into the great mystery of building new bone and making old bones stronger, Wu tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, we take a hard look at one of our own core messages and ask: does it have to be heavy to build bone? We unpack a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis that compared more than 100 exercise interventions in postmenopausal women, looking at low, moderate, and high intensities across resistance training, impact, and combined programs.We explain the big picture: resistance training works across intensities, moderate intensity often performs just as well as heavy, and impact-only isn't the standalone solution it's often made out to be. We also highlight how few truly high-intensity trials exist, why that matters, and what it means for interpreting the data.Along the way, we reflect on why it's important to update your message when new evidence emerges, and how this research shifts—not our programming, but our language—around lifting heavy. You'll come away with a clearer understanding of what actually builds bone, what the science says (and doesn't yet say), and why there's more than one effective way to get stronger bones.SIGN UP for the Bone Density Course Interest ListFOLLOW Movement Logic on Instagram00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview09:37 New Research on Exercise Intensity and Bone-Building Exercise for Postmenopausal Women37:08 About the Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis52:20 Meta-Analysis Results Overview54:16 Lumbar Spine Analysis59:00 Femoral Neck Analysis01:01:43 Total Hip Analysis01:02:40 Key Takeaways and Summary01:04:17 Meta-Regression Insights01:09:47 Clinical vs. Statistical Significance01:14:14 Discussion on Bias01:17:26 Engaging with the Community and Expert Opinions01:39:46 Debunking Myths About Women and Heavy Lifting01:40:39 Addressing Misconceptions around Lifting Heavy01:47:25 Cultural Shifts and Women in Strength Training02:05:58 Practical Benefits of Heavy Lifting02:11:44 Final ThoughtsREFERENCES:LIFTMOR Trial and YouTube videoKistler-Fischbacher Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis91: LIFTMOR, Not Less: An Interview with Professor Belinda BeckStu Phillips IG page and postKorpelainen paper100: The Hidden Cost of "Just Do Something" Fitness Advice

The day my DEXA scan results revealed osteoporosis was a wake-up call I dreaded. No symptoms. No warning signs. Just a family history of poor bone health. The casual “take medication and see you in two years" was a no-go for me. Like so many women in midlife, I knew there had to be another way.In this episode, I share my personal journey of reversing bone loss and improving my DEXA scan results—without relying solely on pharmaceuticals. If you are being presented with an option of drug therapy, please have the conversation with your doctor about what steps are best based on the severity of your disease. From strength training with proper form and lifting heavier weights, to increasing protein to 110–120 grams daily, optimizing supplements like vitamin D3, K2, calcium, magnesium, and collagen, and making lifestyle shifts around alcohol, sleep, hormones, and daily sunshine—this holistic approach has transformed my health in many ways.You'll learn:Why osteoporosis is called the “silent disease” (and how to catch it early)The nutrition, supplements, and workouts that actually support bone densityHow lifestyle choices—sleep, stress, and hormones—affect bone remodelingThe real results from my follow-up DEXA scanIf you're a midlife woman worried about osteoporosis, fractures, or staying strong and independent as you age, this episode will give you practical strategies and hope.

Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?” Recently, a listener asked a menopause exercise question, "I'm doing strength training three times a week for 30 minutes. Is that too much? If you have wondered, or wonder what is enough, too much or the Goldilocks for you, this is for you. Based on a study in Ireland called Menowell (not to be confused with the bars), almost 70% of us get our information from friends and 50% get information from social media. So, beware. Even researchers right now are spending a lot of time and energy getting eyeballs and making shocking statements. Instead of merely sharing the facts, they're being as inflammatory as the influencers they claim not to be. Quick Overview: Menopause can bring bone loss, muscle loss, metabolic changes, mood shifts & symptoms like hot flashes and sleep troubles. Promise: By the end, you'll know how to calibrate exercise for maximum benefit and minimal burnout, even if you're not experiencing any of these. Why exercise is non-negotiable? Exercise is medicine. Muscle is medicine and an endocrine organ. Muscle is HRT if you allow it to be. Like any other medicine, the right dose and timing are crucial. How much is too little? I could answer in a very generic way: Minimum WHO/HHS guidelines: 150 min moderate aerobic + 2 strength sessions weekly Under 150 min weekly leads to missed benefits like bone density maintenance and cardiometabolic protection This is not a generic podcast and you're not a generic woman. So, let's answer with the uniqueness you deserve. Whether you're exercising too little or too much your body leaves both objective and subjective data. Red flags of Undertraining and Overtraining: Persistent fatigue Ongoing symptoms Plateau in strength/mood/weight. More Answers to Your Menopause Exercise Questions When exercise becomes too much: Excessive high-intensity sessions >3× weekly without recovery ups injury risk—especially for connective tissue for women in midlife. Overtraining stress can aggravate symptoms, disturb sleep, mood, and adrenal health, appetite/cravings and libido. Finding the sweet spot: Measure muscle and body fat (See Resources for my smart scale picks.) Measure waist girth Measure bone density through Dexa scan Do-It-Yourself checklist: Track energy, sleep, mood, focus, libido, digestion, elimination (See Resources for Flipping50 Progress Tracker) Between your objective and subjective measures, are you getting what you want?
