These properties can help support cognitive function, mood stabilization, cardiovascular health, and weight management. The episode also touches on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, emphasizing an anti-inflammatory diet, regular exercise, restful sleep, and meaningful social connections. Leyla highlights how simple daily rituals, such as enjoying a cup of matcha, can provide emotional grounding and routine for women navigating menopause.

In this episode, I sit down with Kristie Howlett, NP, to talk about a topic so many women worry about but rarely get complete information on. Kristie brings her years of oncology and integrative experience into this discussion about bone health, estrogen changes, metabolic influences, and the difference strength training truly makes. I loved the way Kristie explained how muscle communicates with bone, why sunlight and circadian rhythm matter more than most women realize, and what she routinely sees in her practice when women finally receive personalized support rather than a blanket recommendation for calcium.

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In today's episode, Dr. Heide and I dive into a topic most women don't think about until it becomes a problem: the truth about bone strength, aging, and preventing the kinds of injuries that can dramatically change our future. As winter sets in and the risk of slips, trips, and falls increases, I wanted to have a real conversation about how we can support our bodies from the inside out.Key Highlights:Why women are more prone to falls and fractures (especially hip fractures).The myths about calcium supplements and why calcium alone isn't enough.The importance of vitamin D, K2, and magnesium for bone strength.How movement, especially jumping, rebounding, lifting weights, and unilateral exercises, activates the parathyroid gland to strengthen bones.Why the U.S. has high hip-fracture rates despite heavy calcium supplementation.The role of collagen and strontium in bone remodeling.Personal and client success stories with OsteoStrong and strength training.The message: bone health is built over years, and what you do today determines your mobility, aging, and longevity.Key Takeaways:“Once a woman… gets that hip fracture, your chances of survival for the next three to five years plummet significantly. You just shorten your lifespan dramatically after that hip fracture.” -Kellie Lupsha“Every time you work out, every time you jump up and down… we activate the parathyroid gland, and it really charges up or balances that calcium in our body.” -Dr.Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

Were you told to "wait and see" after a DEXA bone screening or have you ever felt confused about what your T-score actually means, then this episode is for you? Today I am joined by two of the most respected bone health experts in the world, Dr. John Neustadt and Dr. Doug Lucas, to clear up the most misunderstood parts of bone loss in midlife. We cover How and why women in menopause should get bone density testing and how to actually understand what this means. Does estrogen really protect bones? Why are people having fractures despite good bone density scores without osteoporosis and vice versa. What are alternative screenings and how they compare to DEXA The downsides of bone screening and how to approach your bone health no matter if you have osteoporosis or not What the research supports for improving bone density and what supplements we may need to consider. We talk about the more important form of vitamin K and strontium What we need to know about that scary 30% of people die within a year of a hip fracture stat And so much more Dr. Doug Lucas I already mentioned that Dr. Doug Lucas is a leading expert in osteoporosis and longevity medicine. He really is. He is a double board-certified physician and founder of The OsteoCollective. This is an incredible community he has created where he helps people—especially midlife women—reverse bone loss, optimize hormones, and reclaim their strength and vitality through an evidence-based, root-cause approach. Dr. Doug is in the functional medicine space. And he has a special message for you: osteoporosis is not a life sentence, and conventional medicine isn't your only option. Remember that. Osteoporosis is not a life sentence, and conventional medicine isn't your only option. We've spoken in past episodes about how he left his career as an orthopedic surgeon after became so frustrated with a system that just waited until bones were broken before taking action. Now, he's on a mission to teach people how to take control of their health before disease sets in. He is such an incredible speaker and really delivers clear message that is relatable, and gives science-backed insights that we all can understand and act on. Dr. John Neustadt John Neustadt, ND, He is the Founder and President of the dietary supplement company Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc. (NBI, nbihealth.com) and NBI Pharmaceuticals. He received numerous US FDA Orphan Drug Designations for potentially treating rare diseases using natural products through his company. This means that the FDA gives the encourages him to continue to develop drugs and biologics that are intended to treat, diagnose, or prevent rare diseases or conditions. Dr. Neustadt hosts the Delivering Health podcast, which is also really great. He is also a Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation Corporate Advisory Roundtable member.

STRONGER BONES LIFESTYLE: REVERSING THE COURSE OF OSTEOPOROSIS NATURALLY
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Susan Brown, medical anthropologist, clinical nutritionist, and founder of Better Bones, to unravel the truth behind modern osteoporosis care. We explore how the DEXA scan became the gold standard—despite its limitations—and why so many women are being mislabeled as “high risk” when the full picture of bone strength has never been evaluated.Dr. Brown brings a rare combination of science, global anthropology, and decades of clinical research to explain why bone density is not the only indicator of fracture risk, why stress is one of the biggest bone disruptors, and how minerals, digestion, muscle strength, and lifestyle patterns create a much more accurate blueprint of true bone health.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, confused, or frightened by a diagnosis, this episode will help you breathe again—and understand your bones in an entirely new way.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy DEXA scans are often misleading, especially for petite womenThe history of osteoporosis and how its definition was createdThe 20 essential nutrients your bones require dailyWhy chronic stress and cortisol silently dissolve boneHow muscle strength reflects bone strengthThe surprising accuracy of ancient healing systems like AyurvedaWhy heavy lifting is not the only path to stronger bonesHow digestion, mineral balance, and oxidative stress influence bone remodelingHow to build confidence and reduce fear after an osteoporosis diagnosisAction Steps You Can Take TodayReduce stress daily through breathing, meditation, nature walks, or groundingSupport digestion to improve nutrient absorptionAdd bone-supportive nutrients, including magnesium, vitamin K2, trace minerals, and potassium-rich foodsBuild muscle gradually using movements that feel safe and functionalShift toward alkaline-leaning eating patterns with more fruits and vegetablesGet your Vitamin D and hormone levels checkedLearn the “witness practice” to observe thoughts instead of internalizing fearExplore your medical osteoporosis workup to uncover underlying causesResources & LinksBetter Bones Website: https://betterbones.comHealthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramStronger Bones Lifestyle Programs & ResourcesDebi's TakeawayYou are so much more than a T-score. Your bones are alive, responsive, adaptable, and deeply influenced by how you eat, move, think, and live. Don't let fear of a diagnosis shape the rest of your life. When you nourish your body, calm your nervous system, and support your digestion and mineral balance, your bones can—and will—respond. Healing is possible.
In this episode of Hot For Your Health with Dr. Vonda Wright is joined by longtime friend, master formulator, and wellness innovator Sanjeev "Jeevers" Javia to break down one of the most overlooked—but most life-saving—topics in women's health: bone health. Using real data and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Wright reveals why fractures are a preventable epidemic, why osteoporosis is a "disease of youth" that shows up in midlife, and how women lose up to 20% of their bone density during perimenopause. Sanjeev shares how bone operates as a dynamic organ—regulating hormones, glucose metabolism, cognition, and even satiety—and why modern diets and lifestyles leave most women nutrient-deficient long before symptoms appear. Together, they unpack the science behind the new Unbreakable Bone formulation—built on three pillars: collagen, hydroxyapatite, and micronutrient-rich red algae—and how it fits into Dr. Wright's 8 Shields for lifelong bone strength. ••• Connect with Sanjeev Javia: Website: https://www.proze.com/proze-philosophy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/askjeevers/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjeev-javia-07971615 ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to "HOT For Your Health" for more inspiring episodes.

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start looking after your bone health, this episode is the reminder you need.Angela White, better known as The Running Granny, didn't begin running until she was 53. Since then she's run thousands of miles, including 2 epic challenges; 875 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End, and 62 peaks at 62 (in less than 62 hours!), and become a powerful voice for healthy ageing and bone health awareness.But this conversation isn't just about ultrarunning. It's about the tiny daily decisions that can shape our health for decades.We talk about: • why bone health matters more than most of us realise • how small daily habits turn into lifelong strength • the reality of perimenopause, ageing and independence • why frailty and osteoporosis are not inevitable • how to start, even if you feel unfit, overwhelmed, or unsureAngela's story is extraordinary, but her message is beautifully simple: it's never too late, and every small step counts.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:The Make Movement Matter PodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.

BUFFALO, NY — November 11, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 10 of Aging-US on October 1, 2025, titled “L-β-aminoisobutyric acid (L-BAIBA) in combination with voluntary wheel running exercise enhances musculoskeletal properties in middle-age male mice.” In this study led by first author Julian A. Vallejo and corresponding author Michael J. Wacker from the University of Missouri, Kansas City, researchers investigated how L-β-aminoisobutyric acid (L-BAIBA), a natural compound released during exercise, works together with regular physical activity to improve muscle and bone health in middle-aged male mice. The findings may support new strategies to maintain musculoskeletal health in aging populations, especially those at risk for mobility loss or osteoporosis. Muscle and bone strength naturally decline with age, increasing the risk of falls, fractures, and reduced quality of life. While exercise remains the most effective way to counteract this deterioration, it is often difficult for older individuals to maintain sufficient activity levels to see results. L-BAIBA, a molecule naturally produced during physical activity, is known to promote energy metabolism and support muscle and bone cells. This study explored its potential to work in synergy with endurance exercise to maximize health benefits in aging bodies. Researchers studied 12-month-old male mice that were split into different groups. Some remained sedentary, while others exercised freely on running wheels. Half of each group received daily L-BAIBA supplementation. After three months, the mice that received both the supplement and exercise showed greater improvements than those receiving either one alone. The soleus, a slow-twitch muscle essential for endurance and balance, grew larger and stronger only in the combined treatment group. These muscles also shifted to a more fatigue-resistant fiber type and had a larger number of oxidative fibers. “To investigate this hypothesis, we subjected 12-month-old (as a model of middle-age) male C57BL6 mice to voluntary wheel running (VWR) with L-BAIBA (100mg/kg/day) (VWR+L-BAIBA), VWR alone, L-BAIBA alone, or none (CTRL) for three months.” The study also showed significant improvements in bone health. Mice that received both exercise and L-BAIBA developed thicker and denser trabecular bone, along with reduced fat levels in the bone marrow, indicators of stronger, healthier bones. These changes were not observed in the groups that only exercised or only received L-BAIBA. Although the compound caused minor changes in heart electrical activity, it did not affect heart size or overall function, suggesting it is safe in this setting. These findings suggest that L-BAIBA may enhance the benefits of physical activity by supporting muscle strength and bone structure, particularly in slow-twitch muscle fibers. This combination could serve as a therapeutic strategy to help older adults, including those unable to engage in regular exercise, maintain musculoskeletal health. As the aging population grows, there is a growing need for solutions that support muscle and bone health without requiring strenuous activity. This research highlights the potential of natural, exercise-related molecules like L-BAIBA to help maintain mobility and strength throughout aging.

Milk has long been sold as the key to strong bones, but research challenges that claim: many people don't tolerate dairy, calcium needs are lower than advertised, and higher milk intake doesn't necessarily prevent fractures. Politics and industry marketing helped set “three glasses a day,” even though healthy bones depend more on overall diet and lifestyle—things like vitamin D, movement, and avoiding soda, excess sugar, and stress that drive calcium loss. Dairy may be helpful for some diets, but it can also trigger bloating, acne, congestion, or digestive issues. The good news is that strong bones and good nutrition are still very doable without cow's milk—think leafy greens, sardines, almonds, chia, and sunshine for vitamin D. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. David Ludwig and Dr. Elizabeth Boham why bone health depends more on diet, lifestyle, and nutrient balance than on dairy. David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD, is an endocrinologist and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, and Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He co-directs the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center and founded the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program, one of the nation's largest clinics for children with obesity. For over 25 years, Dr. Ludwig has studied how diet composition affects metabolism, body weight, and chronic disease risk, focusing on low glycemic index, low-carbohydrate, and ketogenic diets. Called an “obesity warrior” by Time Magazine, he has championed policy changes to improve the food environment. A Principal Investigator on numerous NIH and philanthropic grants, Dr. Ludwig has published over 200 scientific articles and three books for the public, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Always, Hungry? Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

On episode 716 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, we're diving deep into a topic that's crucial as we age: bone health and osteoporosis. Coach Allan is joined by Dr. John Neustadt, a seasoned researcher, clinician, and author of Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis. Dr. Neustadt breaks down the science behind why our bones are much more than just the framework of our bodies—they're living tissues connected to everything from our hormone health to our immune system. In this conversation, you'll learn why bone density tests don't tell the full story, how to truly reduce your fracture risk, and what daily choices can dramatically improve your bone health. Dr. Neustadt explores holistic approaches—highlighting how the right exercise routine and following a Mediterranean-style diet can not only strengthen your bones, but also lower your risk for heart disease, dementia, and cancer. Whether you're already concerned about osteoporosis or just want to future-proof your health, this episode is packed with actionable advice, insights on the surprising connection between chronic inflammation and bone loss, and tips on training safely and consistently as you get older.
