Podcasts about Bone health

Could everything you've been told about bone scans be outdated?In this game-changing episode, I welcome back Dr. Andy Bush, orthopedic surgeon and bone health innovator, to explore a revolutionary new technology: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry).Unlike the traditional DEXA scan that only measures bone density, REMS analyzes bone strength, structure, and real fracture risk. Together, we break down what REMS actually does, why it matters, and how it's reshaping the future of osteoporosis diagnosis and prevention—especially for women who want to avoid unnecessary medications and take charge of their health.What You'll Learn:Why T-scores and DEXA scans are incomplete—and sometimes misleadingHow REMS technology uses sound waves to assess true bone strengthWhat a Fragility Score is and how it can predict fracture risk more accuratelyWhy orthopedic surgeons like Dr. Bush are leading the shift to structural bone assessmentsThe importance of viewing bones through a mechanical AND biological lensHow muscle loss (sarcopenia) and bone loss are linked—and what you can do about itWhy women deserve more than a “diagnosis and a drug” when it comes to bone healthDebi's Takeaway:Your bones are more than a number. What we need is not just more medication, but better diagnostics and stronger education. REMS is offering both — and giving women the power to understand their real risk and make informed decisions.About Dr. Andy Bush:Dr. Andy Bush is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon based in North Carolina. After 30+ years of surgically repairing fractures, he now leads a prevention-focused bone clinic using REMS technology to assess and improve structural bone health—without radiation or outdated density-based models.

Join Dr. Laila Tabatabai, Chair of the AACE Bone and Parathyroid Disease State Network, for an expert-led discussion on how nutrition and exercise support bone health. She is joined by Dr. Deborah Sellmeyer, an internationally recognized endocrine expert in metabolic bone disease at Stanford University, and Rebekah Rotstein, founder of the Buff Bones® exercise system. Together, they explore:How much calcium and vitamin D are needed for bone healthThe benefits of weight-bearing, resistance, balance, and impact exercisesSupplements that support bone health, including vitamin K, magnesium, boron, and strontium, along with the potential benefits of prunesThe growing role of muscle strength, sarcopenia, and protein in osteoporosis care Whether you are a clinician or someone managing osteoporosis, this episode offers practical, evidence-based insights to help guide informed decisions.

Vitamin A is often one of the less-discussed micronutrients in relation to bone health, taking a back seat to nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Yet this fat-soluble vitamin plays a fundamental role in skeletal development, remodeling, and mineral homeostasis. It influences gene expression in both osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and contributes to the regulation of bone turnover throughout the lifespan. But what makes vitamin A particularly interesting, and controversial, is that its effects on bone appear to follow a double-edged pattern. While it's essential for bone formation, several large epidemiological studies have suggested that chronically high intakes of preformed vitamin A may actually increase the risk of osteoporosis and fracture, especially when consumed as retinol from supplements or high-liver diets. And yet, the picture is not so clear-cut. This raises compelling questions: Is the concern over vitamin A and bone health justified, or is it a case of context-dependent risk? Can vitamin A, when combined with adequate levels of D and K, actually support bone strength? And are there thresholds above or below which risk increases? In this episode, we explore the human evidence on vitamin A and skeletal health, looking not only at fracture outcomes and bone mineral density data, but also at nutrient interactions, mechanistic plausibility, and the implications for supplement use in well-nourished populations.

Short term weight loss sounds great BUT it's not all fat – it's muscle! Muscle will be much harder to regain as we age because of anabolic resistance..  Clothes might feel loose and you get weight loss compliments. But short term weight loss is just giving a “false positive” honeymoon period. This might mean you divorced muscle, the love of your life.   1. Muscle Mass Loss (Sarcopenia) Protein Deficiency Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle tissue. Insufficient protein intake exacerbates muscle atrophy and increases the risk of falls and injuries. Excessive Cardio Prolonged cardio can lead to a breakdown of muscle tissue for energy, particularly if glycogen stores are depleted. This can worsen age-related muscle loss and counteract maintaining strength and function. 2. Bone Health (Osteoporosis) Protein Deficiency Protein is needed for bone health and bone density. Inadequate protein intake, especially after menopause, increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis Risks After menopause, risk of osteoporosis increases due to declining estrogen levels and can weaken bones prone to fracture. Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis Link Having both increases the risk of falls and fractures. Poor nutrition leads to sarcopenic obesity and increases the risk of osteoporosis. 3. Other Negative Effects Reduced Physical Function Since inadequate protein leads to muscle loss, this reduces strength, impaired balance, and decreased ability to perform daily activities. Slow-Healing Injuries Protein repairs tissues. Deficiency can slow wound healing and recovery from injuries. Weakened Immune Function Amino acids from protein build antibodies and maintain a healthy immune system. Low protein intake can lead to frequent illnesses and infections. Potential Cardiac Issues (Excessive Cardio) Associated with potential adverse cardiac effects, such as myocardial fibrosis and an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, in some individuals. Musculoskeletal Injuries (Excessive Cardio) Increases the risk of musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis and stress fractures.   What Can You Do Instead of A Short Term Weight Loss Recommendations: Prioritize protein intake with 30 grams each meal. Balance cardio and strength training to build and maintain muscle mass. Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard or engaging in prolonged, strenuous exercise if it causes excessive fatigue or pain.   References:  Chucherd O, Vallibhakara O, Vallibhakara SA, Sophonsritsuk A, Chattrakulchai K, Anantaburarana M.

Ladies, we need to talk about the part of your body you never think about until it literally snaps —your BONES.   This week I'm joined by the actual king of bones, Dr. John Neustadt, a doctor and , researcher , and supplement founder who's made it his mission to prevent the silent epidemic we call osteoporosis.  

Is a single number determining your treatment plan? For many women, the T-score from a DEXA scan becomes the full story of their bone health. But what if that story is incomplete—or even misleading?In this episode, I sit down with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andy Bush, who has shifted his focus from fixing fractures to preventing them. Together, we dive into the flaws of the traditional DEXA scan, why your T-score might not reflect your actual fracture risk, and the power of a better diagnostic: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry).If you've ever been told you have osteoporosis — or felt confused and fearful about your scan results—this is the episode for you.

Weighted vests are having a major moment - especially in the wellness world for women over 40. But are they really worth the hype? In this episode, I take you behind the headlines and into the science to answer the question: Can wearing a weighted vest actually improve bone density and strength? I dive into recent research, share my personal experience testing one out, and offer practical tips if you're curious about adding a weighted vest to your routine. As always, we approach this with curiosity, compassion, and clarity because not everything trending on Instagram is backed by evidence (or even feels good for your body!). What You'll Learn in This Episode: What the latest research says about weighted vests and bone density Whether walking with a vest is as beneficial as it seems The pros and cons of adding weight to your walk or workout How posture, core strength, and alignment factor into safe use Personal tips for getting started if you choose to try one Episode Highlights: Three key studies on weighted vests and midlife women's strength, balance, and bone health The (limited) evidence on whether walking with a vest impacts bone density Why enjoyment, posture, and core strength matter before strapping one on Robin's personal experience testing a 12-lb vest—and how it felt in her body Questions to ask before adding a vest to your routine Resources and Links: Join the Lindywell community: www.lindywell.com Follow us on Instagram for daily inspiration: @wearelindywell Blog post on weighted vests with links!

Send us a textMy guest Gwen Miller and I have a few things in common. We love what we do, we enjoy educating our students to the best of our ability and…we especially adore cats. But we also have something in common that isn't worthy of our affection - we both have a condition called, Osteopenia.You may recall, Gwen's last visit to All Things Pilates in Season 5 and we celebrated her book, Safe Movement For All Spines. For this episode, we'll focus on living with and perhaps healing from Osteopenia. For those entering menopause or post menopause, Gwen is a walking library on the different stages and conditions of our spines, and how dealing with BMD, bone, mineral, density factors into a healthy spine. If you're interested in keeping your bones heathy and learning about preventative measaures, this is an episode for you. Support the showAbout Darien Gold ~ https://www.dariengold.com, https://www.allthingspilatespodcast.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/darien_gold_pilates_expert, https://www.instagram.com/allthingspilatespodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dariengoldMusic credits ~ Instagram: @theotherjohnmayer About Gwen Miller ~ https://www.gwenmillerstudio.com, https://www.instagram.com/gwenmillerstudio/   https://www.facebook.com/GwenMillerStudio                                                       Support the show

Did you know the #1 killer of women after menopause isn't cancer — it's heart disease? And the #1 disease of menopause? Osteoporosis.In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Myra Reed, a functional internal medicine physician who has helped thousands of women reverse chronic illness, balance hormones, and reclaim their vitality. Together, we dive deep into the overlooked connection between hormone loss, heart disease, bone decline, and the broken healthcare system that's still handing out statins and short visits as if that's the answer.If you've been told your cholesterol is too high, or if you're wondering whether hormones are safe post-menopause—this episode is for you.

Osteoporosis is showing up at younger ages in women.  So, waiting until menopause to start thinking about your bones is just way too late. That's why in this episode, I'm joined by orthopedic medicine expert Dr. Doug Lucas for a powerful conversation on bone health, aging, longevity, and why your bones are one of the most important (yet often overlooked) pieces of your long-term wellness.  We'll dive into the surprising ways your daily habits impact your bone density—and what you can do right now to protect and even rebuild your bones as you age.  Dr. Lucas breaks down the importance of supporting your musculoskeletal system, screening and early prevention measures, and why your 30s and 40s are critical decades for building lifelong bone strength.  Strong bones mean a strong life—and it's never too early (or too late!) to start taking care of them! Doug Lucas, DO   Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon turned osteoporosis specialist. His mission is to show the world that osteoporosis is preventable AND reversible. He's the founder of Optimal Human Health MD and PEMA BioIdentical, as well as the creator of The OsteoCollective– where he empowers others to optimize bone health, hormones, and longevity.

Creatine is one of the most well-researched and effective sports nutrition supplements for improving exercise performance. But that isn't what I'm going to talk about in this podcast episode. Instead, I want to give the spotlight to creatine's new moment in the sun thanks to evolving research linking it to improving brain and bone health. And then tying all this together, I'll profile why it may just be one supplement that women could especially benefit from over men during their reproductive lifespan and beyond.Links referred to in the podcastSystematic review of creatine supplementation and cognitive function 2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6093191Systematic review of creatine supplementation and cognitive function 2022 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9999677Systematic review of creatine supplementation and cognitive function 2024 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11275561Clinical trial of creatine supplementation and CBT in the treatment of depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39488067Review of creatine supplementation and its applications for brain health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10721691Dr Darren Candow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr.darrencandowClinical trial of creatine supplementation on bone health in post-menopausal women https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10487398Creatine supplementation in women's health: A lifespan perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7998865Episode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript' tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram doctimcroweFacebook Thinking NutritionX CroweTim

“The person who wins is often the one who is fending off the menopause the best!” Those were words of advice a fellow competitor once gave this week's guest, physiotherapist and competitive cyclist Nicole Oh. That would be something Nicole would come to learn firsthand just a few short years later, as she found herself navigating mysterious joint pain, hot spells, and concerning bone loss. This week Nicole talks candidly about how she preserved performance during the transition, why she now champions DEXA scans for midlife athletes, and the role of plyometrics in protecting bone health. She also discusses the importance of being proactive—not reactive—when it comes to training, recovery, and maintaining power, and her personal mission to crack 1000 watts. Nicole Oh is a physiotherapist from Sydney who specializes in the management of cyclists and triathletes. Nicole combines her cycling knowledge and physiotherapy skills to offer bike fitting services for all levels of riders. She also writes for the UK magazine Cycling Weekly on bike fitting, health and injury. Nicole was a late comer to endurance sports, starting as a triathlete, then switching to road racing in 2012 at the age of 35, racing in the UK, Europe, and now Australia. She has won National Masters titles in road and criterium racing, time trialling and cyclocross.

Every 11 seconds, someone ends up in the ER from a fall, and many of those are preventable. What if you could strengthen both your body and your brain at the same time, while reducing your risk of falling?  In today's episode, fellow physical therapist Dr. Mike Studer and I discuss the remarkable benefits of dual tasking, which combines physical movement with cognitive challenges to enhance balance, coordination, and bone health. This simple yet powerful approach has been shown to reduce fall risk and boost brain function, especially as we age. I'll walk you through some easy exercises you can do at home, why they work, and how they can help you stay strong, steady, and sharp. Whether you're recovering from a fall, supporting a loved one, or just want to feel more confident in your movement, dual tasking offers a fun and effective way forward. No special equipment needed—just your attention and a few minutes a day!   “When people become more confident in their divided attention, they also drop their fear.

Is soy actually good for us? Have we been lied to about soy and phytoestrogens?Today I'm sharing some shocking studies on the health benefits of soy and other foods containing phytoestrogens. Soy may not be for everyone—including me (I share why in this episode)—however, it may actually help several women (and men!) in different ways. Here's what the science says… PLUS… foods that contain phytoestrogens beyond soy. STUDIES: This PubMed study found that Asian-Americans who ate tofu had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. The more tofu they ate, the lower their risk. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8922298  Here are 11 PubMed studies highlighting how soy benefits our bones: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19367115 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11095177 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16763748 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14557449 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920508 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15018488 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10757817 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15702593 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10479216 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15309425 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10966908 It appears that just taking a daily pill containing the isoflavone genistein may be enough to reap some of soy's bone density benefits:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17577003 People in Asia consume much, much, much more soy than those in the West:http://www.smart-publications.com/cancer/daidzein.php Interestingly, men may benefit slightly more than women from eating foods rich in phytoestrogens.

Our bone density is built in our teens and 20s, yet it begins to decline as early as our 30s. As our body's scaffolding, our bones play a critical role in how we move and function in daily life — and if it becomes compromised, it can affect not just our health, but our quality of life as a whole. Sandra Tadros Guirguis joins us to delve into the many factors that influence bone health — and what we can all do, no matter our age, to maintain or improve it.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/why-bone-health-matters-no-matter-your-age    Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

Vitamin D is more than a vitamin—it's a hormone that influences everything from your immune system to cardiovascular health, cognition, and longevity. In this conversation, Dr. Michael Holick breaks down the science of vitamin D synthesis, the truth about sun exposure vs. supplements, and why vitamin D deficiency is far more common—and more dangerous—than most people realize. You'll learn how skin pigmentation, UVB exposure, and supplementation protocols impact your vitamin D levels, and why D3 is more effective than D2. Dr. Holick also dives into mood, cognition, and the controversial role of vitamin D in chronic disease and COVID outcomes. With dosage guidelines by age and weight, plus practical advice on avoiding vitamin D toxicity, this episode is a masterclass on one of the most important—yet misunderstood—nutrients in health and longevity.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-15-2025: Dr. Dawn provides a comprehensive overview of bone health, describing bones as the "silent architects" of our bodies that require ongoing care and attention throughout life. She outlines key risk factors including family history of fractures, eating disorders, hormonal changes, digestive surgeries, and medication use, while explaining how DEXA scans measure bone density through T-scores and Z-scores, recommending the FRAX risk calculator as a superior predictive tool. She shares practical strategies like weight-bearing exercise and proper vitamin supplementation (D, K2, calcium) alongside explaining the roles of osteoclasts and osteoblasts in bone turnover and how medications influence this balance. She addresses a caller's question about strontium citrate and isoflavone supplements for bone health after cancer treatment, clarifying that these differ from problematic boron and suggesting C-telopeptide or N-telopeptide testing to verify bone turnover rates beyond DEXA results. The program discusses a promising non-hormonal male contraceptive called ADAM, a dissolvable hydrogel implant shown in preliminary trials to block sperm for up to two years without serious side effects. Dr. Dawn addresses misconceptions about autism, describing it as a spectrum with diverse manifestations, explaining its neurological basis in atypical brain pruning patterns, and emphasizing it as a complex genetic vulnerability to environmental events. She evaluates a listener email about a supplement for urinary incontinence and metabolic health, warning listeners about marketing tactics and insufficient evidence behind many commercial products. Dr. Dawn examines "Fatty 15," a pentadecanoic acid supplement marketed for metabolic health, noting that while some rodent studies show promise for insulin sensitivity and liver health, human evidence remains limited compared to well-established benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Dr. Dawn shares news about Orforglipron, a new oral GLP-1 medication in pill form for diabetes and weight management that appears as effective as injectable versions like Ozempic.. The show concludes with information about innovative plant-based transparent paperboard, a cellulose-based material that biodegrades within 300 days while offering a safer and more sustainable alternative to conventional plastics.
