In this episode of The Body Pod, we're joined by Dr. Kristi DeSapri, founder of Bone and Body Women's Health, to dive deep into bone health during perimenopause and menopause. Discover why osteoporosis prevention starts earlier than you think, how hormones and family history influence your bone density, and what women over 40 can do to stay strong.We cover DEXA scans, bone scores, strength training, calcium, vitamin D, and lifestyle tips for optimal bone health. Walk away with practical strategies to support healthy aging, improve posture, and reduce the risk of fractures—so you can feel strong, confident, and active through midlife and beyond.

What if one of the most overlooked tools in recovery wasn't a therapy or a stretch - but a specific protein that rebuilds what pain breaks down?In this episode, integrative physiotherapist Matthew Craig takes us inside the evolving role of targeted collagen peptides in real-world rehabilitation - from fresh surgical scars and stubborn tendon pain to cancer-related cording, fascia restriction, and the creeping loss of bone strength in midlife.Pain doesn't follow a neat script, and neither does healing. That's why Matthew unpacks where collagen makes the biggest impact: in poorly perfused tissues that heal slowly, in post-cancer recovery where cording tethers movement and amplifies pain, and in athletes who need to back up high training loads without joint flare-ups. He shares practical guidance on dose and timing - why 10 g daily supports ongoing repair, and why acute or “critical window” healing may call for 20 g split across the day.We explore the nuances of collagen type and quality, from type I and III for tendon, skin, and fascia integrity to type II for cartilage and joint comfort. Matthew explains how hydrolysed, bioavailable peptides stimulate fibroblast activity, remodel scar tissue, and improve movement tolerance so that manual therapy and strength training deliver better results.The conversation extends into bone health for peri- and post-menopausal women, where targeted collagen has shown measurable gains in bone density—small but powerful changes that shape long-term mobility and independence. Matthew also clears the air on athletic recovery, DOMS, and muscle support, debunking the myth that collagen is “just for beauty.”It's a clinical roadmap that bridges rehab, recovery, and resilience:Why and when to add collagen to a care planPost-surgical healing for scars, fascia, and painSelecting types I, II, and III for clinical goalsDosing for acute and ongoing recoveryCancer rehab, cording, and restoring movementCollagen's emerging role in bone density supportPairing collagen with whole-protein and loading for resultsCollagen isn't a cosmetic extra - it's protein with a purpose, especially when matched to the job. If you're navigating surgery, tendon pain, cancer rehab, or simply want stronger bones and better training outcomes, this episode gives you the practical playbook every clinician should hear.Connect with Matthew: https://www.bouncerehab.com.au/team/Shownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health websiteRegister as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.au Follow us on Socials Instagram: Designsforhealthaus Facebook: Designsforhealthaus DISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health

Send us a textYour bones are silently changing beneath the surface, and for women entering menopause, that change accelerates at an alarming rate. Did you know you could lose up to 30% of your bone mass in the first 5-7 years after menopause? This silent thief works without symptoms until a fracture occurs, often when it's too late for prevention.In this episode, Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker reads Chapter 12 of her book, "The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Menopause," and offers additional insights and tips you won't find in the book.This isn't just about preventing fractures – it's about maintaining independence and quality of life as you age. Breaking a hip after 65 carries a 40% one-year mortality rate, yet this risk is preventable with proper screening and treatment. Whether you're approaching menopause, recently diagnosed with bone loss, or simply planning for healthy aging, this episode provides crucial knowledge to keep your skeleton strong for decades to come.Support the show

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas explains why Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) may be just as important as estradiol for bone health.

Send us a textEvery October 18th marks World Menopause Day, highlighting a transition affecting over a billion women worldwide who spend at least a third to half of their lives in this phase. Despite its universal nature, menopause remains poorly understood and inadequately addressed in many healthcare settings.Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker walks you through the menopause journey in this episode. She touches on the increasing severity of health issues during menopause, including metabolic syndrome and hypertension, which compound cognitive challenges like word-finding difficulties and "brain fog."Dr. Thacker will focus on the key to navigating menopause - establishing care with a knowledgeable women's healthcare clinician who can create an individualized approach based on a woman's unique symptoms, medical history, and preferences. By addressing menopause proactively rather than reactively, women can minimize symptoms while protecting their long-term health and vitality during this important life stage.

When it comes to bone health, we often talk about calcium, vitamin D, or strength training — but few people realize that strong bones actually begin in the gut. In this solo episode, Debi Robinson explores one of the most overlooked root causes of bone loss and osteoporosis: poor digestion.Through years of working with women with osteoporosis and osteopenia — and interpreting countless stool labs—Debi has seen a clear pattern: when digestion falters, bones weaken. Because the truth is, it's not just what you eat—it's what you absorb.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy digestion is the foundation of bone healthThe step-by-step “mouth to bones” process of nutrient absorptionSigns your digestive system may not be working properlyHow poor digestion and inflammation trigger bone lossThe role of the gut-bone axis in osteoporosis and osteopeniaSimple, practical steps to support healthy digestion and stronger bonesAction StepsSlow down when eating. Take deep breaths and eat in a calm, mindful state to support proper digestion.Chew your food thoroughly. Digestion begins in the mouth—help your enzymes do their job.Stay hydrated, but skip large drinks during meals. Avoid diluting stomach acid.Add more fiber. Aim for 30 grams daily to support your microbiome and regular bowel movements.Consider functional testing. A stool lab can uncover the root cause of poor digestion or nutrient malabsorption.Resources and LinksLearn more: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramWork with Debi one-on-one → Book a ConsultationMore episodes of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast → Listen Here

What if your smartwatch or wearable ring could reveal how stress, sleep, and lifestyle choices are silently shaping your bone health? In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Torkil Færø, a Norwegian physician, documentary filmmaker, author of The Pulse Cure, and expert on heart rate variability (HRV).Dr. Færø explains how wearables can go far beyond step counts — they can show us how well our body is handling stress and whether we're truly recovering. Since chronic stress and inflammation are major contributors to bone loss, learning to monitor HRV can be a game-changer for women with osteoporosis or osteopenia.Together, we explore the role of stress, nutrition, sunlight, and recovery in building resilient bones and creating a healthier future.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe critical connection between HRV, recovery, and bone healthHow stress hormones like cortisol can pull calcium from your bonesWhy sunlight is about more than vitamin D—it's a natural regulator for your bodyFoods that can trigger inflammation and silently weaken your skeletonHow wearables provide biofeedback that helps you make better lifestyle choicesAction Steps You Can Take TodayCheck your recovery, not just your steps. Pay attention to HRV data from your wearable to see how well your body is adapting.Get mindful sun exposure. Sunlight helps regulate circadian rhythms and supports bone strength.Clean up your diet. Reduce sugar, gluten, and dairy if they trigger inflammation for you.Prioritize sleep and stress management. Recovery builds resilience that supports bone density.Resources and LinksLearn more about Dr. Torkil Færø and his book The Pulse Cure → https://thepulsecure.comConnect with Debi Robinson and explore bone health programs → https://debirobinson.comListen to past episodes of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast → Podcast LibraryDebi's TakeawayYour bones don't get weaker overnight — they're shaped by daily habits.

In this week's episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I sit down with my client and former Division 1 athlete, fitness professional, and tech sales leader Nikki Zahka to unpack her journey from chronic under-fueling and hypothalamic amenorrhea to restoring her health, rebuilding her physiology, and achieving her best physique yet.We cover:NIKKI'S ATHLETIC HISTORYNIKKI'S PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORSHigh performers often burn the candle at both ends not realizing that stress adds up across life domains.WHERE NIKKI WAS AT THE START OF COACHING (JANUARY 2023)Physique looked great externally but internally her health was compromised.Chronic under-eating (1200–1350 kcal/day) with high-output training.Showing signs of suppressed physiology, poor digestion, and hormonal dysfunction.WHAT NIKKI WAS EXPERIENCING WHEN WE STARTED WORKING TOGETHEROver 3 years without a menstrual cycle.Classic RED-S biofeedback: fatigue, hormone suppression, stress overload.Chronic under-fueling led to poor quality of life despite looking “fit.”HYPOTHALAMIC AMENORRHEA (HA)Causes: low energy availability + high stress suppressing hypothalamic signaling.Effects: reduced thyroid, elevated cortisol, reduced estrogen/progesterone.RELATIVE ENERGY DEFICIENCY & LOW ENERGY AVAILABILITY (LEA)Adaptable LEA: short-term, strategic, recoverable.Problematic LEA: chronic, damaging, with systemic consequences.Nikki had been in problematic LEA for years due to mismatch of intake/output.CONSEQUENCES OF RED-SHORMONAL: ↓ thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, IGF-1, leptin; ↑ cortisol.METABOLIC: suppressed RMR, reduced MPS.BONE HEALTH: ↓ bone mineral density, ↑ fracture risk.GI: constipation, digestive distress.PERFORMANCE: ↓ strength, endurance, glycogen storage, recovery; ↑ injury risk.HEMATOLOGICAL: iron deficiency → worsened thyroid function.THE PRIMER PHASEFoundation-building stage where we focused on restoring physiology, habits, and metabolic health.Pulled back from high-intensity, exhaustive training.Focused on fueling, recovery, sleep, stress management.INTENTION OF THE PRIMER PHASEReverse chronic low energy availability.NUTRIENT TIMING & WITHIN-DAY ENERGY AVAILABILITYImportance of distribution, not just daily totals.Even fueling throughout the day → reduces stress, improves recovery, supports hormones.Avoid large gaps without eating & fasted high-intensity training.OUTCOMES OF THE PRIMER PHASEAfter 6 months: improved training performance, recovery, and body recomposition.Fueling at  >2000 kcal on training days at ~110 lbs.Biofeedback improved across the board.Proof that correcting EA + structured resistance training = muscle gain & better hormone function.LEAN BUILDING PHASESNext step after Primer: structured lean muscle gain phase RESTORED MENSTRUAL CYCLE after 3+ years.Focused on performance, fueling, and health markers.Out of 55 weeks, only 6 spent dieting; most time spent building.Mindset shift: from chasing leanness to fueling abundance.LESSONS & TAKEAWAYSNikki's story is a powerful reminder that A HEALTHY BODY IS A RESPONSIVE BODY and when you prioritize physiology, the physiqueresults follow.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.com

Are you sure you're measuring your fitness the right way? If you had doubts about BMI, protein intake, or whether certain workouts are truly safe, this episode clears it all up. Today's episode is a Q&A episode. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher answer your questions across four different topics. They cover smarter ways to track progress, how much protein your body actually needs, the safety of strength training with osteoporosis, and why slow-motion training delivers powerful results. Tune in to learn how to track your success more effectively, fuel your body the right way, and train smarter for long-term strength and health. Question 1: What Metrics Should We Track for Exercising Success? Why BMI isn't the best measure of success. Dr. Fisher explains that BMI is just height and weight—it doesn't account for muscle mass. That's why a “high” BMI might actually mean you're stronger and healthier, not overweight. Dr. Fisher emphasizes that real progress comes from strength training, eating whole foods, and daily movement. When you focus on what you can control, the number on the scale becomes less important. Dr. Fisher reveals how bioelectrical impedance analysis goes beyond weight to measure fat mass and lean muscle. This gives a far clearer picture of your health than BMI or a simple scale ever could. Question 2: How Much Protein Do You Really Need? Why protein isn't as risky as many think. Dr. Fisher explains that even at high intakes, there's no solid evidence linking protein to kidney damage. The old warnings about bodybuilders “ruining their kidneys” simply don't hold up. How protein works with strength training. Without resistance training, extra protein won't build muscle. Dr. Fisher makes it clear that strength training is the real driver of growth—protein just fuels the process. Learn the smartest way to eat for strength. Amy and Dr. Fisher highlight the importance of whole proteins with essential amino acids.  When combined with consistent strength training, this creates the perfect formula for building strength and function. Question 3: Is the Exercise Coach Workout Safe for Osteoporosis? Dr. Fisher explains that whether it's a dumbbell, a grocery bag, or a machine, your muscles only know they're working. That means resistance is resistance—what matters is how it's applied. How Exercise Coach makes workouts safer. Amy and Dr. Fisher describe how their exobotic machines control range of motion, eliminate the risk of dropped weights, and are supervised at all times. This creates one of the safest environments possible for anyone with osteopenia or osteoporosis. Learn the science behind the machines. Dr. Fisher reveals how isokinetic, computer-controlled movements keep every rep slow, consistent, and joint-friendly. That precision protects your bones while still pushing your muscles to adapt and grow. Question 4: What Is the Science of Slow-Motion Training? Why explosive movements fall short. Dr. Fisher explains that moving too quickly shifts the load to momentum instead of muscle. That not only reduces effectiveness but also increases the risk of injury. How slow motion maximizes muscle use. By removing momentum, every second of the movement keeps tension on the muscle. This creates a deeper, safer, and more effective workout. Amy shares the true benefit of slowing down. With slow-motion training, you don't just get better results—you also reduce stress on your joints. That means you can build strength while protecting your long-term health.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright steps out from behind the interview chair to deliver a powerful and practical masterclass on bone health. As an orthopedic sports surgeon, Dr. Wright has seen firsthand the devastating effects of fractures—often caused by osteoporosis—and why bone health should be a priority at every stage of life. She reveals how bones are far more than structural scaffolding: they are living, dynamic endocrine organs that store essential minerals, generate blood cells, and even secrete hormones that affect the brain, metabolism, and reproductive health. Dr. Wright shares eye-opening statistics on hip fractures and their impact on longevity, why peak bone density matters in your 20s and 30s, and how life events like pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause accelerate bone loss. Most importantly, she outlines proven strategies to strengthen and protect your bones across your lifespan—through hormone replacement decisions, strength training, impact exercise, and smart nutrition. Whether you're in your 20s building peak bone mass or navigating midlife changes, this episode offers essential insights to help you stay strong, mobile, and fracture-free for decades to come.  ••• 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.

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.

"Calcium from food is the ideal source." — Dr. Jennifer Han  Learn more about SEEN Nutrition: https://www.seennutrition.com  If you've been with me for a while, you know bone health is one of my biggest passions. I've worked with the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation for over 10 years, and I'm always on the lookout for innovations that can truly make a difference.  That's why I'm so excited to share this conversation with Dr. Jennifer Han. She's a dual residency–trained, board-certified clinical pharmacist, functional medicine practitioner, and co-founder of SEEN Nutrition — the company behind the first calcium chew made entirely from real food.  Dr. Han's personal story is remarkable. After a rare bone disease fractured her back just two months after giving birth, she set out to completely rethink calcium supplements — and what she's created could change the way we all think about supporting our bones.  In our conversation, we cover:  Why osteoporosis can affect women at any age — not just later in life  Why most calcium supplements fall short, and what makes food-based calcium different  How small, simple dietary changes (yes, even eating prunes!) can support bone density  The importance of regular DEXA scans for tracking bone health  Why it's never too late — or too early — to start caring for your bones   Dr. Han's message is one I want every listener to hear: bone health is a lifelong commitment, and with the right knowledge and tools, you can protect your strength, mobility, and independence for years to come.  Take a listen—and don't forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode.    If you're enjoying Age Better, I'd be so grateful if you left a quick review wherever you listen.     And if there's a topic or question you'd love for me to cover in a future episode, send me a note at agebetterpodcast@gmail.com.

Dr. Vonda Wright explains how bones function as endocrine organs, influencing not only our skeletal health but also communicating with muscles, the brain, and various body systems. She highlights the crucial role of estrogen in bone health and emphasizes the importance of achieving optimal peak bone density. Dr. Wright also shares actionable strategies to help you maintain strong and healthy bones throughout your life.
