New probiotic strains may hold the key to better gut health, stronger bones, and even longevity. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Oscar Coetzee, a recognized expert in psychology, human nutrition, and metabolic health, to discuss the latest research on probiotics and bone health.  We explore why traditional probiotics may not always provide lasting results and how new strains are designed to target root causes of inflammation, optimize gut balance, and support calcium metabolism.  We also cover practical tips for implementing probiotics safely, including guidance on timing, dosage, and considerations for people with SIBO, thyroid medication, or other conditions. Plus, we discuss the impact of gluten sensitivity on inflammation and bone health, emphasizing holistic lifestyle approaches. Today's conversation is to help you understand the emerging science behind probiotics and why your gut matters for bone health.   "Our guts and the intelligence of these microbes far exceed anything that we have in our brains. They are literally intellectual to the point that they can resurrect life." ~ Dr. Oscar Coetzee, MS, DCN   In this episode: [00:00] - Introduction: Probiotics and emerging research on bone health [04:45] - Why probiotics do not always deliver desired outcomes [06:02] - Two types of gut bacteria and what they do [11:07] - Scientific breakthrough: supplement form of anaerobic probiotic strains [22:11] - A better way to treat microbial imbalances [24:27] - Why gut health is critical for bone health and longevity [27:25] - The link between probiotics and mental health [33:35] - Best practices for taking probiotics: timing and combination [41:30] - New probiotic strains for improved outcomes [52:34] - Considerations for SIBO and thyroid medication users [1:00:33] - What this research means for your bone health   Resources - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/paylesssupplements (Here are the 3 supplements Dr. Oscar talked about that can be ordered on Fullscript: Complete Commensal Probiotic™, Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™, and Anaerostipes Probiotic - all from Designs for Health) - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (video series) - https://tinyurl.com/strongerbonesexercises   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.

Osteoporosis can silently weaken bones long before a fracture happens. In this episode of Baptist Health Talk, host Johanna Gomez talks with April Tchumy, orthopedic nurse practitioner with the Bone Health and Fracture Prevention Program at Baptist Health, about how infusion care and injection therapies can help protect bone health and reduce fracture risk.Many people hear “infusion care” and think of cancer treatment, ports and hours in a chair. But for osteoporosis, infusion and injection treatments can look very different — and may be an important option for patients at higher risk of fractures.In this episode: • How osteoporosis is diagnosed through bone density screening • When screening may be needed before the standard age guidelines • The difference between oral medications, IV infusions and injections • Why some patients may need bone-building treatments first • Common side effects and what patients can expect • How calcium, vitamin D and strength training support bone health • Why preventing hip and spine fractures is such a major treatment goal • How treatment success is measured over timeListen to Baptist Health Talk for more conversations on prevention, wellness and the most searched health topics.Host:Johanna GomezAward-Winning Host & JournalistGuest:April Tschumy, APRN, ONP-CMetabolic Bone SpecialistBaptist Health Orthopedic CareIf you found this episode helpful, you may also enjoy:Osteoporosis Explained: Risks, Screenings, and Strength Training

In this episode, Dr. Doug explores the effectiveness and safety of jumping as a bone health intervention, especially for postmenopausal women. He reviews research, discusses impact forces, hormone effects, and offers practical advice for safe, effective bone health strategies.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41752870/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28975661/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9844097/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7605708/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32162503/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38305252/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31498922/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24981245/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18710630/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21188536/

Bone Health Beyond Calcium: Vitamin D, K, Protein, Medications, and Metabolic Risks: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses factors affecting bone health, osteopenia/osteoporosis, and limitations of bone mineral density as a measure of bone strength. She emphasizes optimizing vitamin D via 25-hydroxy D testing (aiming roughly 55–85 and avoiding over 100), ensuring vitamin K for proper calcium placement, and addressing malabsorption from GI conditions, food intolerances, or inflammation. She notes long-term proton pump inhibitor use can impair calcium and magnesium absorption and increase osteoporosis risk. Diet considerations include avoiding overly grain-heavy, acid-forming patterns and ensuring high biological value protein; she also mentions heavy metals affecting bones. Additional assessment includes magnesium and DHEA sulfate, plus resistance and balance training (ideally three times weekly). She highlights research linking hyperinsulinemia/type 2 diabetes/cardiovascular disease to fragility fractures despite normal or higher bone density, proposing carbohydrate restriction, fasting, and ketosis to improve bone remodeling via osteocalcin and mitochondrial function.

Many listeners ask whether foods like spinach, nuts, and beans could be affecting their calcium absorption and overall bone strength. Learn what's in these foods, how they work, and what you can do to reduce risk.  In this episode, I share a masterclass recording from Dr. Kim Millman, a Stanford, UCSF, and USC-trained integrative medicine physician and osteoporosis expert, to explore the role of oxalates and their impact on bone health.  We also cover strategies to reduce oxalate impact safely, including boiling, steaming, soaking, fermenting, and pairing high-oxalate foods with calcium-rich foods. We discuss how supplements like calcium citrate and probiotics such as ProbioMed 50 can support mineral balance and oxalate clearance. Dr. Millman also highlights the importance of a healthy gut and bile flow to reduce oxalate absorption. I love how this conversation blends practical, evidence-based strategies with real-world applications, empowering listeners to take control of their nutrition, support calcium absorption, and protect their bones effectively.   "Oxalates are not necessarily a problem for everyone. It's not as if I'm saying that anyone with bone disease has a problem with oxalates. But it's something to be on your radar." ~ Dr. Kim Millman   In this episode: - [03:33] - Oxalates and why they matter - [05:54] - Symptoms from high oxalate intake - [11:52] - Top foods that contain high oxalate levels - [14:54] - Soluble vs. insoluble oxalates and absorption factors - [16:51] - Gut bacteria, probiotics, and oxalate metabolism - [25:02] - Testing options available  - [26:18] - How to know if you have an oxalate problem - [29:09] - Dietary strategies to reduce oxalates safely - [32:27] - Tips for managing oxalate intake for better bone health - [35:17] - Possible benefits of removing oxalates  - [40:01] - Bile flow and oxalate absorption   Resources - Dr. Millman's Class: Restore & Rebuild: 100 Days to Healthier Bones (next class starts August 15th) - https://themillmanclinic.com/randr (Use coupon code  HAPPYF26100 for a $100 discount) - Oxalate resources from Dr. Millman - https://themillmanclinic.com/oxalates?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=oxalates_podcast  - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/paylesssupplements - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (video series) - https://tinyurl.com/strongerbonesexercises   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.

On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF CEO Claire Gill is joined by Dr. Mary Bouxsein, Professor at Harvard Medical School and a leading researcher in bone health and biomechanics, to discuss groundbreaking advances that could transform osteoporosis care. Their conversation explores how the SABRE initiative is reshaping osteoporosis drug development, the growing role of artificial intelligence in fracture prediction and screening, and why greater awareness and participation in research are essential to improving bone health outcomes for millions of people.

Guest: Annette Cashell, Bone Health Coach

Have you ever watched your bone density number go up on a DEXA scan and felt relieved, only to wonder why nobody is talking about whether that number actually means you won't fracture? Or are you quietly noticing that getting up from a chair, climbing stairs, or just walking feels a little different than it used to?   We cover: Why your DEXA scan score tells less than half the story, and what predicts fractures far more accurately The one functional test you can do at home right now that predicts your risk of dying earlier than expected Which common medications are quietly destroying your bones without anyone telling you How ultra processed foods are wrecking your gut and your bones at the same time and is there any room for some at all? The most underrated nutrient for bone health that almost nobody is talking about John Neustadt, ND, is Founder and President of the dietary supplement company Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc.

When it comes to osteoporosis, many women are told to focus on calcium, vitamin D, medications, or hormone therapy. But what if bone loss is actually a reflection of deeper imbalances throughout the body?In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with functional medicine nutritionist Andrea Nakayama to explore a systems-based approach to bone health. Together, they discuss how digestion, blood sugar balance, inflammation, stress, hormones, and lifestyle factors all contribute to bone strength and healthy aging.Andrea explains why osteoporosis is rarely caused by a single issue and shares practical ways women can begin identifying the root causes that may be impacting their bones.What You'll LearnWhy osteoporosis is often more complex than a calcium deficiencyThe difference between conventional and functional approachesAndrea's “Three Roots, Many Branches” frameworkHow sleep impacts hormones and bone remodelingThe connection between digestion and nutrient absorptionWhy blood sugar balance matters for bone healthThe role of inflammation in chronic disease and bone lossImportant considerations around thyroid health and bone densityWhy symptoms can be valuable clues rather than problems to suppressHow to become a more empowered partner in your healthcareAction StepsTrack your sleep quality for one week.Pay attention to digestion and elimination patterns.Include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal.Notice which habits make you feel better—or worse.Explore potential root causes rather than focusing only on symptoms.Discuss hormone, thyroid, and metabolic health with your practitioner.Build a lifestyle that supports long-term bone remodeling and resilience.Resources & LinksAndrea Nakayama: andreanakayama.comDebi's website: https://debirobinson.comHealthy Gut Healty Bones Program: https://debirobinson.com/healthy-gut-healthy-bones-program-v2/Join the Community: https://debirobinson.com/the-stronger-bones-lifestyle-community/Yoga Therapy MasterClass: https://debirobinson.com/yoga-therapy-for-bones-health-mc/28-Day Stronger Bones Method: https://debirobinson.com/28-day-stronger-bonesmorning-method/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debirobinsonwellness/Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@debirobinsonwellness/Debi's TakeawayYour bones are part of a much bigger story.

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.

We removed all the cutlery from our house before this great episode! The main science discussion was on a new study looking at reproducibility of adaptations in individual athletes. The relatively surprising finding is that there was no significant correlation in how the same athlete responds to the same intervention across time. We discuss what that means for training science. The word “holistic” is coming in hot.We also talked about a new study on post-exercise ketones, finding a 15% increase in natural EPO levels. Even knowing that, we aren't recommending ketones to many athletes we coach. What's going on? The disclaimers will blot out the sun.And this one was full of fun topics! Other topics: when good butter knives go bad, Tom Evans doing the coolest downhill training on the treadmill, new trail supershoe data, a study on carb intake and bone health, and how collagen may impact bone health for female athletes. Plus questions on breathing, uphill treadmill miles, breakups, programming workouts, coaching communication, and more.We love you all!

Many people think there's a single "perfect" diet for bone health, but the truth is, what works for one person may not work for another. In this episode, I'm joined by Ashley Koff, a registered dietitian, USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot, and founder of The Better Nutrition Program, to explore why one-size-fits-all nutrition doesn't work for bone health. We dive into the gut-bone axis, discussing how your digestion, nutrient absorption, and hydration impact whether your body can actually use the nutrients you consume to strengthen your bones. Ashley emphasizes that even if two people eat the same diet, one may gain bone strength while the other continues losing it. We also discuss the importance of tracking blood sugar and how modern medications like GLP-1 agonists affect bone health. Ashley shares strategies to personalize your nutrition, including how to evaluate your total nutrient intake from foods, supplements, and medications, and adjust them to support your bones effectively. This conversation will help you take control of your nutrition, optimize digestion, and implement personalized strategies that support bone strength, metabolism, and overall health.   "If your digestion is not optimal, you cannot have optimal bone health." ~ Ashley Koff, RD   In this episode: - [02:08] - Why personalized nutrition is necessary for bone health - [03:45] - Total nutrition: combining food, supplements, and medication - [06:37] - The importance of comprehensive digestive assessment - [12:33] - Proper hydration and its role in nutrient transport for bone health - [25:17] - Practical strategies for digestion, eating habits, and nutrient absorption - [30:16] - Blood sugar regulation and its impact on bones - [42:46] - Menopause, hormones, and their interaction with gut and bone health - [46:56] - More information about GLP-1 agonists - [50:23] - Accessing Ashley's Better Nutrition Program, free consults, and community   Resources Live Class with Ashley: Personalized Nutrition and Exercises for Better Digestion & Bone Health on Thursday, July 9th at 12:00 PM EDT.

In this powerful “Her Story” episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, Debi Robinson sits down with Heidi Dumas—a member of the Healthy Gut Healthy Bones Program and community leader inside the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Community.Heidi shares the emotional experience of being unexpectedly diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 65, the fear and confusion that followed, and why she ultimately chose to educate herself and pursue a root-cause, lifestyle-based approach to bone health.Together, Debi and Heidi unpack the broken “diagnose-and-prescribe” model many women experience, the overlooked connection between gut health and bones, and how lifestyle changes—including reducing inflammation, improving nutrition, managing stress, and strength training—helped Heidi move from feeling fragile to feeling empowered.This episode is an honest, hopeful conversation for any woman who has felt overwhelmed by an osteoporosis diagnosis and wants to understand what she can actually do to support her bones naturally.What You'll LearnWhat it emotionally feels like to receive an osteoporosis diagnosisWhy so many women feel frightened and powerless after a DEXA scanThe connection between gut health, inflammation, and bone lossWhy Heidi questioned taking Fosamax immediatelyThe difference between calcium carbonate and calcium citrateHow stress may contribute to bone loss and digestive issuesWhy reducing inflammation can improve both gut and bone healthThe social and emotional challenges of changing your dietHow cravings change when the gut microbiome improvesWhy osteoporosis is about more than calcium aloneThe limitations and controversies surrounding DEXA scansWhat REMS technology is and how it differs from DEXAWhy fracture resistance matters more than fearAction StepsEducate yourself before making fear-based decisionsExplore the potential root causes behind bone lossFocus on reducing inflammation through nutrition and lifestylePrioritize gut health and nutrient absorptionRead food labels and choose foods closer to their natural sourceStrength train safely and consistentlyManage stress intentionally through movement, sleep, and mindfulnessBuild a support system and community around your health goalsFocus on progress and consistency—not perfectionResources & Links

Today, Peggy Burkhard talks with Dr. Amar Kelkar of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute about the medical side of survivorship after bone marrow, stem cell, or CAR-T transplant. The conversation begins with the important shift from the urgent “save my life” phase to the longer “protect my health” phase. Dr. Kelkar explains that this transition often starts around the 100-day mark, though timing varies by transplant center, geographical region and patient needs. A major theme is the need to restart routine care that may have been paused during transplant. Dental care, dermatology, ophthalmology, and primary care all become important again. Dental visits are especially important because oral graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can cause dry mouth, irritation, cavities, and other problems. Skin checks matter because transplant can increase the risk of skin cancers. Dr. Kelkar stresses annual dermatology visits, sun protection, SPF 50 or higher, protective clothing, and smart decisions about sun exposure. Fatigue is another central topic. Dr. Kelkar describes post-transplant fatigue as different from normal tiredness. It can feel deep, physical, and mental, and it may last for months or even years. He encourages patients to pace themselves, listen to their bodies, and build activity back slowly. Returning to work also needs to be individualized. Some patients work remotely during treatment, while others may need extended disability or a gradual return. The episode also covers immune recovery and repeat vaccinations. Dr. Kelkar explains that after transplant, the immune system has been reset, and many childhood vaccines need to be repeated. Most programs begin revaccination around six, nine, or 12 months, depending on immune suppression and other factors. He reassures listeners that many patients have fewer vaccine symptoms early on because their immune systems are still rebuilding. Dr. Kelkar also reviews long-term screening and prevention. Survivors need routine cancer screenings, including mammograms, colonoscopies, lung cancer screening when appropriate, skin exams, and monitoring for thyroid or other changes. Metabolic health is also important. Steroids can affect blood sugar, transplant can change body composition, and quick weight loss often includes muscle loss. Nutrition support and exercise programs can help, and Peggy notes that Blood Cancer United offers nutrition services for patients and caregivers. Blood Cancer United's nutrition program provides free one-on-one consultations with oncology dietitians by phone or email. Bone health, hormone changes, sexual health, and early aging are also discussed. Dr. Kelkar explains that steroids, menopause, testosterone changes, vitamin D deficiency, and time indoors can affect bones. Many centers use DEXA scans and vitamin D supplementation. He also encourages patients to bring up sexual health concerns, including menopause symptoms, low testosterone, pain with intercourse, ulcers, or fear about resuming intimacy. The episode closes with practical advice for everyday life. Food restrictions often loosen around 100 days, but patients should reintroduce foods slowly and carefully. Raw foods, alcohol, tobacco, and inhaled smoke should generally be avoided, especially during the first year. Dr. Kelkar also emphasizes mental health support, counseling, and honest conversations with the medical team. Survivorship is a bumpy road, but the goal is to help patients regain control and thrive.

Osteoporosis may present after menopause, but prevention starts decades earlier. In this episode of BackTable Women's Health, Dr. Carla Gunn, guest host and OBGYN, interviews Dr. Pooja Luthra, an endocrinologist at UConn Health, about osteopenia, osteoporosis, and practical strategies for lifelong bone health. --- Get the BackTable app https://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction03:28 - Why Bone Health Matters Early05:23 - Bone as a Vital Sign08:02 - Amenorrhea and Early Screening09:51 - Calcium, Vitamin D, and Protein15:11 - Menopause Bone Biology Explained21:58 - Metabolic Diseases and Bone Risk25:58 - Early Screening Red Flags27:53 - Hormone Therapy Bone Benefits30:59 - Reading DEXA Scores33:42 - FRAX Scores35:09 - Modern Treatment Sequencing38:02 - Bisphosphonates Mechanism and Concerns41:16 - Secondary Labs and Referrals44:23 - Closing Thoughts --- More about this episode Dr. Luthra explains how peak bone mass is largely established by early adulthood, followed by accelerated loss during the perimenopausal/menopausal transition due to estrogen decline, inflammatory cytokines, altered calcium absorption, and increased bone resorption. She reviews prevention strategies, including adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake, resistance training, and avoiding smoking and excess alcohol use. The discussion also covers high-risk conditions that can negatively impact bone health, including amenorrhea, premature ovarian insufficiency, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, along with considerations for earlier screening in these patients. Dr. Luthra walks through DEXA interpretation, including T-scores, Z-scores, trabecular bone score (TBS), and FRAX assessment. She closes the conversation by outlining treatment sequencing with anabolic agents before antiresorptives, bisphosphonate safety, alternative therapies, and secondary osteoporosis workup labs. --- Resources FRAX Tool:https://www.fraxplus.org/calculation-tool --- BackTable Women's Health is the go-to podcast for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals focused on women's health.

I'm bringing back one of my favourite conversations this week because May is Osteoporosis Awareness Month, and this topic is too important to let it gather dust in the archive.If you've ever left a bone density scan feeling more confused than when you walked in, or got a result that said "osteopenia" and weren't quite sure whether to panic or carry on as normal, this episode is for you.In this conversation, I'm joined by Rebekah Rotstein, Pilates instructor, movement educator, and founder of the Buff Bones method. Rebekah was diagnosed with osteoporosis at 28, which means she has been living with and studying this topic for nearly two decades. She brings a perspective that is part patient, part expert, and very relatable.We get into what bone density testing actually measures and where it falls short, why osteopenia is not something to brush off or ignore, what strength training for your bones really looks like (and why you do not need to be standing in front of a weight rack to do it), and the important difference between your bone density conversation and your fracture risk conversation. They are parallel, but they are not the same thing.I also share my own take on calcium and why the "just take a supplement" approach has underperformed, and what it really means to nourish your bones with the whole capsule, not just one ingredient.About Rebekah Rotstein: Rebekah Rotstein is a Pilates instructor, integrated movement educator, and founder of the Buff Bones method, a medically endorsed exercise system for bone and joint health with certified instructors in more than 30 countries. She serves on the Society for Women's Health Research Bone Health Roundtable and has been advocating for earlier bone screening since her own diagnosis at 28.

If you have autoimmune disease, you've probably been told to keep an eye on your bone density number. But here's the thing — that number only predicts fractures in about 44% of women with osteoporosis. Most of what's actually driving your fracture risk isn't showing up on that scan. I brought Dr. John Neustadt back to talk about his newly expanded book, Fracture-Proof Your Bones, and this conversation goes well beyond what we covered last time. We get into how gut inflammation — the kind that comes with autoimmunity, leaky gut, Crohn's, or celiac — directly triggers bone loss through inflammatory cytokines that activate the cells that break down bone. We also talk about the medications most doctors aren't warning you about (SSRIs, prednisone, PPIs) and how they're silently destroying bone tissue. Plus: what your diet is actually doing to your skeleton, a simple 10-second balance test that predicts fracture risk better than a bone scan, the surprising link between oxytocin and your osteoblasts, and which routine labs to ask for that most people never get. People with autoimmune disease face a 200–400% increased fracture risk. That's the reality — but there's a lot you can do about it.

In this episode, I'm back with Dr. Sameena Rahman for Part 2 — and we go places most medical appointments never do. We open with PCOS, GLP-1s, peptides, and ketamine, then shift into what may be the most important hormone conversation I've had on this show: is hormone therapy actually safe for women over 60?Dr. Rahman breaks down why the original Women's Health Initiative study was mismarketed, not flawed — and how that bad marketing set back women's health by two decades. She explains how to think about the risk-benefit calculation for starting hormones later in life, and what screenings actually matter before making that call.We then get into the reality of concierge medicine — why so many doctors are leaving insurance-based practices, and what women who can't afford private care can actually do. And we close on a myth that genuinely alarmed me: the idea that women over 65 no longer need pelvic exams.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas breaks down the latest thinking on calcium supplements for bone health, including the fear around calcium and heart attack risk. He explains why most people don't need 1,200 mg of calcium from supplements alone and why food intake should come first. He also compares calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, algae-based calcium, and bone-based calcium through the lens of absorption, safety, and fracture risk reduction.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20671013/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31747785/Shop & Save 10% on NBI Products: https://shop.nbihealth.com/pages/dr-doug-bone-health?bg_ref=YMKzZt4KwCThis is an affiliate link, which means I may earn a commission if you purchase through it, at no additional cost to you.2024 Calcium Video:https://youtu.be/3fcbh2TVS5Y

In this episode, host Letty sits down with Angela M. Sterious, a dual-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 30 years of medical experience, to tackle a crucial but often ignored aspect of women's health: menopause and its hidden impact on bone density. Angela breaks down the biological changes that occur as women age, highlighting how the dramatic drop in estrogen during perimenopause and menopause leads to rapid bone loss. Designed especially for runners and active individuals aged 35 and up, this conversation sheds light on why early awareness and proactive lifestyle shifts are essential for maintaining a long, thriving "health span". Listeners will learn practical, non-pharmaceutical strategies to protect their skeletal systems, including the critical role of clean nutrition, high protein intake, and targeted vitamin supplementation. Angela explains how the high-impact nature of running, combined with heavy weight training and "exercise snacks" like deadlifts, naturally stimulates bone growth and prevents dangerous fragility fractures. The episode also demystifies hormone replacement therapy, discusses necessary blood work panels, and empowers women to take charge of their health so they can continue running strong for decades to come.

Dr. Tami Rowen, renowned expert in sexual medicine and menopause, joins Dr. Rena Malik to discuss the neuroscience of female sexual desire, FDA-approved treatments, the impact of birth control on hormones, the difference between perimenopause and menopause, the role of testosterone and progesterone, and how to separate evidence from marketing in hormone therapy.

Most women are not thinking about their bones until a fracture happens or a scan comes back alarmingly. By then, the window for the most impactful intervention has often been narrowing for decades. Bone density peaks around age 18, not 30 as widely believed and the slow decline that follows is largely silent until it isn't.Professor Belinda Beck, PhD has spent more than two decades studying exactly what it takes to stop and reverse that decline. She is a professor at Griffith University, founder of the Bloom Clinic in Brisbane, and the principal investigator behind the LIFTMORE trials, a body of research that changed the scientific consensus on what is actually possible for women with osteoporosis and osteopenia. Her findings showed that heavy resistance and impact training twice weekly can safely grow bone mineral density in the spine and hip, even in women already diagnosed with very low bone mass and prior osteoporotic fractures. This was not what the medical establishment expected. And it fundamentally changed how serious practitioners now think about bone.This episode is sponsored by Zen Basil.

“It is so important, and I think most people don't realize that some of the cancer treatments can actually impair bone health.”—Dr. Stacy DunnBone health doesn't always get attention until something changes. For many people, especially after cancer treatment, shifts in bone density can happen quietly over time.In this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Dr. Michelle Niesley sits down with Dr. Stacy Dunn to talk through what supports bone health during and after cancer care.Dr. Dunn shares how treatments like chemotherapy and hormone therapies can influence bone density, sometimes earlier than expected. They discuss how tools like DEXA scans are used to check bone health and why they can be helpful as part of ongoing care.The conversation also covers nutrients that play a role in bone health, including vitamin D, vitamin K2, and magnesium. Rather than focusing on one piece in isolation, they talk about how these work together and why balance matters.Movement is another part of the picture. You'll hear why resistance training can support bone strength and how it can be worked into everyday routines without needing a full gym setup. Starting small and staying consistent can go a long way.They also walk through a few common areas of confusion, including medications, calcium intake, melatonin, and soy. The goal is to offer context so people can better understand their options and ask informed questions.Throughout the episode, the focus stays on the bigger picture. Bone health connects to nutrition, movement, sleep, and overall well-being, especially during survivorship and long-term care.

Can a ketogenic diet affect your thyroid? What about bone health, uric acid, cannabis use, or ketone supplements?In this Metabolic Mailbag episode, Dr. Bret Scher and Dr. Georgia Ede answer your most pressing questions about ketogenic therapy and how it interacts with real-world health concerns.From thyroid function to mental health, this conversation highlights how nuanced and individualized metabolic therapies can be.You'll learn:How ketogenic diets influence thyroid hormones, and why lower T3 doesn't necessarily mean hypothyroidismWhen to monitor thyroid function more closely, especially with pre-existing conditions or medications like lithiumWhat the evidence says about protein intake, uric acid, and bone healthWhy temporary changes during the adaptation phase (like uric acid fluctuations) may not reflect long-term outcomesHow cannabis use may affect appetite, cravings, and adherence to a ketogenic dietWhether exogenous ketones and MCT oil provide the same benefits as nutritional ketosisDr. Ede also shares a key principle: context matters. Lab values, symptoms, and individual biology all need to be considered together, especially when using ketogenic therapy for mental health or metabolic conditions.The key takeaway: ketogenic therapy is not one-size-fits-all. It's a dynamic, personalized approach that often requires thoughtful monitoring, adjustments, and collaboration with a knowledgeable clinician.

His work cuts through fear and misinformation, offering practical, science-backed options the general public rarely hears about.   Key Takeaways To Tune In For:(05:55) – Improving bone health: A Paradigm Shift (11:06) – Hormones Beyond Estrogen for Bone Health (17:53) – HRT Safety and WHI Study (23:59) – HRT for Older Women (28:57) – Testosterone Replacement in Women (35:50) – Hormones and Men's Bone Health   Resources talked about in this episode: Websites: https://www.osteocollective.com/ Social media handles: FB IG YouTube LinkedIn TikTok

What if supporting your bone health didn't start with a prescription—but with a proactive, non-drug option?In this episode, Debi sits down with Laura Yecies, CEO of OsteoBoost, to explore a groundbreaking FDA-cleared wearable device designed to support bone density through targeted vibration therapy.They discuss the gaps in traditional bone health care, why early detection is critical, and how women can take a more active role in preventing bone loss before it leads to fractures. This conversation highlights the importance of combining lifestyle, medical guidance, and innovative tools to create a more complete approach to bone health.What You'll LearnWhy bone loss often goes undetected for decadesThe limitations of current medication-only approachesHow OsteoBoost works to stimulate bone in the hips and spineWhat makes this device different from other vibration toolsWhy early intervention (osteopenia stage) is keyHow fracture risk is influenced by both bone strength and fall riskThe role of patient advocacy in changing women's health careAction StepsConsider getting a baseline DEXA scan earlier than age 65Start supporting your bones before osteoporosis developsExplore both lifestyle and medical options—not just one approachIncorporate strength training and balance work into your routineAdvocate for yourself when discussing options with your physicianStay consistent with daily habits that support bone healthResources & Links

In this episode, I'm joined by Lindsey Lester, a British Menopause Society-accredited specialist and breast cancer survivor, for an essential conversation on bone health after cancer and menopause.Bone health is one of the most common — and least talked about — long-term effects of cancer treatment. Whether your menopause was triggered suddenly by treatment or has developed over time, the impact on your bones can be significant.We explore how treatments such as chemotherapy, endocrine therapies (including tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors), steroids, and treatment-induced menopause can all affect bone density — across different types of cancer, not just breast cancer.We also talk about who may be most at risk, how quickly bone density can change, and why bone loss is often called a “silent” condition — with many people not realising until much later.A key part of this conversation is understanding DEXA scans — when to have one, how often to monitor your bone health, and what it really means if you're told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis.But most importantly, this episode is about what you can do.From nutrition and movement to medications and monitoring, Lindsey shares clear, practical ways to protect your bones — and answers one of the biggest questions so many people have after cancer:Can we improve our bone health without HRT?This episode will help you feel more informed, more in control, and better equipped to make decisions about your long-term health.Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro06:09 Participant introductions and background questions09:00 Discussing osteoporosis awareness plan13:03 Postmenopausal bone health risks15:16 Discussing bone health awareness20:08 Young people unaware of health risks22:49 Discussing tamoxifen and ovarian function28:51 Experiencing medical and surgical menopause31:37 Calcium and vitamin D for bone health39:52 Tracking calcium on a vegan diet44:54 Discussing exercise for bone health49:30 Cholesterol management with exercise51:47 Benefits of building muscleHere are some links we mentioned:https://theros.org.uk/information-and-support/bone-health/nutrition-for-bones/calcium/calcium-rich-food-chooser/https://strwebstgmedia.blob.core.windows.net/media/0lhowmrk/about-exercise-fact-sheet-february-2019.pdfYou can find Lindsey here: https://healthinmenopause.co.uk/meet-the-team/Connect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub
