Story at-a-glance Bone issues were once seen only among the elderly, but now young adults are also developing osteopenia, stress fractures, arthritis, and other signs of skeletal decline Poor sleep, chronic stress, sedentary habits, ultraprocessed diets, and harmful habits like smoking and alcohol use are key drivers behind the rising rates of bone loss in younger populations Calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K2 are all essential for bone health. Without proper balance, calcium can't be absorbed, used effectively, or kept out of arteries Diets high in ultraprocessed foods strip the body of key nutrients and promote inflammation. Excess iron also damages bone cells and increases fracture risk Weight-bearing exercises like resistance training, walking, and jumping stimulate bone growth and strengthen the skeletal structure at the molecular level

Why do so many people still suffer from weak bones, heart issues, & brain fog despite taking supplements daily? Dr. Carolyn Dean reveals the hidden imbalances behind common supplement routines especially the dangerous overuse of calcium & poorly absorbed magnesium. This episode breaks down why forms like magnesium L-threonate matter, how omega-3s may not be the hero you think, & what your body actually needs to function better at the cellular level. Meet our guest Dr. Carolyn Dean is a medical doctor & naturopath with over 40 years of experience. She's the author of 35+ books, including The Magnesium Miracle, Total Body ReSet for Women's & Men's Health, IBS for Dummies, Hormone Balance, Death by Modern Medicine (2025 edition) & more.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a common condition that, for a lot of people, is difficult to treat. The drugs that exist have a number of adverse side effects, and about 25 percent of patients don't respond to existing drugs. And so a team of researchers in Iceland, led by Karl Karlsson, professor of biomolecular engineering at Reykjavik University, undertook a number of different steps to narrow in on and then test what the team has determined to be a novel treatment for ADHD, using an existing drug, amlodipine. Read the full study here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-025-02062-x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Story at-a-glance Recent research shows that adults in their mid-60s with healthier diets and lifestyle habits had significantly lower rates of hip fractures and cardiovascular-related deaths Diet quality has the biggest impact on long-term health, especially when focused on whole, unprocessed foods rather than processed meats, refined grains, and added sugars Calcium from food sources was associated with lower cardiovascular mortality, while those using calcium supplements faced higher fracture risk, likely due to prior fractures and poor nutrient balance Participants with healthier diets also smoked less, exercised more, and had fewer chronic health conditions It's never too late to adopt healthier habits, but combining multiple healthy practices delivers the greatest benefits for reducing disease risk and extending quality of life

This episode, Dean starts with a personal touch, sharing the story behind one of his favorite travel traditions—collecting unique coffee mugs. Then it's on to tackling real homeowner challenges: he helps a caller dealing with a water-damaged chimney that's causing problems inside the house, explains how to handle calcium build-up on a block wall fence using muriatic acid safely, and offers guidance to a homeowner facing a plumbing issue that's damaging their concrete slab. 

We covered a paper in episode 81 that suggested treating atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response in the field could lower mortality. But it also drops BP a bit. Could pretreating these patients with calcium lower the risk of hypotension? Dr Jarvis puts on his nerd hat and uses Bayesian analysis to assess a new randomized, placebo-controlled study that looked at just this thing. Why is he going off on this Bayes thing? Because he's been reading a couple of book on it and wanted to take it for a spin.  Tables:  Charts: Bayesian Distributions: Citation: 1.     Az A, Sogut O, Dogan Y, Akdemir T, Ergenc H, Umit TB, Celik AF, Armagan BN, Bilici E, Cakmak S: Reducing diltiazem-related hypotension in atrial fibrillation: Role of pretreatment intravenous calcium.

This week Matt and Chainsaw Chad discuss the ins and out of forbs and the value they provide to lactating whitetail and bucks developing antlers. We review a recent NDA article published by Mark Turner named "One Type of Plant is the Greatest source of Deer Nutrition. Here's How to Grow it" We get deep into the Crude Protein, Calcium and Phosphorus nutritional demands and which forbs provide the adequate % to demands of a lactating whitetail doe. Broadleaf species such as marestail, jewelweed, pokeweed, ragweed, old field aster and giant ragweed rise to the top of the list when it comes to nutritional value. It does appear that calcium levels and protein levels are rarely lacking, but the phosphorus levels are less commonly found met by forage values. Regardless, the true takehome value comes from offering diversity in your forages! Both, forbs and woody and semi-woody plants need to offered in abundance! Its not food plots that are meeting the needs of whitetail deer, its weeds! Promote weeds to feed deer.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas and Sarah Glicken delved into the complexities of bone health, emphasizing its crucial role in longevity. Dr. Doug noted that while osteoporosis is often seen as a condition affecting older adults, its roots can be traced back to earlier life stages, making early intervention vital. They shared the limitations of DEXA scans, particularly their inability to assess bone quality, and why they advocate for the use of REMS technology, which offers a more comprehensive evaluation by assessing bone density and microarchitecture. We also touched upon the potential dangers of conventional bone medications, such as bisphosphonates, which can lead to side effects like jaw necrosis and atypical fractures. They emphasized the importance of exploring alternative therapies that focus on lifestyle modifications that include osteogenic loading and supplementation such as vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 (not calcium!)

You can have normal magnesium blood levels and still have a magnesium deficiency! This is because only 1% of magnesium is in your blood! The other 99% is inside your cells.Common magnesium deficiency symptoms include: •Muscle spasms•Muscle twitches•Anxiety•Poor sleep•Sugar cravings•Charley horses Almonds, spinach, and chocolate contain magnesium, but you would need to consume a lot to meet your requirements!Gut inflammation can decrease magnesium absorption by 60 to 70%. High-carb diets, alcohol, caffeine, and certain medications can deplete magnesium.Top-selling magnesium products often have poor absorption and can cause diarrhea. Take magnesium glycinate for the best absorption rate and to avoid the laxative effect. Magnesium is the master controller of calcium in the body, which is the primary communication signal between cells. Calcium often over-accumulates in the cells, which can lead to cellular damage. Magnesium is vital in regulating excess calcium in the body. It also helps prevent kidney stones. Calcium causes your muscles to contract, while magnesium causes them to relax. Tight muscles signify too much calcium and not enough magnesium. Magnesium also prevents heart attacks and problems with the heart's rhythm. Correcting a magnesium deficiency takes time, and you need to make sure you're taking enough. You may need 1000 to 1500 mg of magnesium daily to correct a deficiency. People with migraines, chronic pain, mood disorders, and diabetes may need more magnesium.Vitamin D won't work without magnesium. When you increase your magnesium intake, also increase your vitamin D. Vitamin B1 is also dependent on magnesium. Magnesium is vital in ATP production, so your magnesium intake directly affects your energy levels.

Everything you need to know about muscle soreness. Hosts Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher talk about why soreness is NOT indicative of the quality of a workout, what causes – and what doesn't cause – it, the difference between muscle soreness and joint pain, and what you can do to reduce that soreness. If you're someone who exercises on a regular basis, you can't miss this one! Today's episode, which is a part of a series that looks at indicators of the quality of exercising, focuses on soreness. Dr. James Fisher kicks things off by explaining why soreness – or actually delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS in short) – occurs. How a workout was and how novel it was are factors that contribute to DOMS. Dr. Fisher and Amy Hudson debunk the myths regarding the role that a high degree of lactic acid plays when it comes to exercising and muscle soreness, as well as the idea of torn muscle fibers. Calcium plays a key role in muscular contraction: it initiates the process and interaction between actin and myosin muscle fibers. Dr. Fisher touches upon the reason why some people may use compression garments that compress muscles, and why muscle inflammation is actually a good thing. You know that feeling in the muscle right after a set or a workout? “The pump”, as it's often referred to, is a product of an influx of blood to the muscle and a product of muscular contraction and energy production. Dr. Fisher and Amy discuss muscle pain – and why the pain itself isn't actually in the muscle but in the connective tissues and fascia surrounding it. Feeling sore after a workout? Going back and doing light exercise can help you alleviate it. Dr. Fisher and Amy talk about the so-called repeated bout effect and why it's a strong reason for you not skipping too many workouts… Remember: if you feel sore after a workout, that's a natural process of your body's remodeling and rebuilding. Not feeling sore? That doesn't mean that you didn't have a good workout! As Dr. Fisher puts it: “People will feel sore when exercise is a novel stimulus, but the soreness will alleviate over time as a part of the repeated bout effect.” Keep in mind the muscle soreness you feel may actually be joint soreness. Dr. Fisher and Amy share some recommendations for working out a muscle group when you feel some muscle soreness. A healthy diet (with an adequate protein intake to support the repair process) and sleep are key assets in alleviating muscle soreness. Some people overlook the importance of sleep, which is a big marker for our body's ability to rest, recover, and rebuild.​​ When feeling muscle soreness, getting on a stationary bike or going for a swim, instead of going for a run, can help with the recovery process. Making progressive overload a key "philosophy" of your workout sessions will help you decrease muscle soreness. A final, important reminder from Amy and Dr. Fisher: “Soreness is not indicative of the quality of our workout. It's not a badge of honor.”   Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

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.

(Topic Requested): Serum Magnesium and Calcium have an intimate and complex relationship best described as “love-hate”. One of our podcast family members sent me this fascinating question: “Should we be following serum calcium levels in patients undergoing IV Mag Sulfate use in obstetrics, in order to identify dangerous hypocalcemia?...Should we be giving these patients prophylactic calcium?” Thera are indeed published case reports of hypocalcemia induced tetany in patients. However, are there national guidelines which call for “calcium surveillance”? Do you remember what the Chvostek's and Trousseau's signs are? Listen in for details.

He emphasizes that osteoporosis is not merely a calcium deficiency issue and critiques the outdated recommendations for calcium and vitamin D. Dr. Doug advocates for a broader approach to bone health that includes dietary sources of calcium and other essential minerals. He explores the differences between whole food and synthetic calcium supplements, highlighting the benefits of natural sources like algae and MCHC. Ultimately, he concludes that food is the best source of calcium and recommends a multi-mineral approach for supplementation.*STUDIES*https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25274192/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11010-010-0402-0https://www.algaecal.com/research/clinical-studies?srsltid=AfmBOoqDvxkeZR4lov-qxJi7IvHpzV9aTfVyBhVQeRjcj-NtQg9wI9o4https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22254052/*INTERESTED IN PURCHASING PRODUCTS DR.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Rocco: Hi Stephen, I've done the CBO protocol and now follow that diet long-term. I recently tracked my intake in Cronometer, and due to the lack of dairy, I'm only getting around 400mg of calcium from food, plus 100mg from the DNS—well below the 1,000mg daily requirement. To bridge the gap, I plan to supplement with Cal Mag but noticed the recommended dose is only 2 capsules (200mg). Would it be safe to take 4 capsules daily to meet my calcium needs? I'm also fine with the extra magnesium, as I deal with a fair amount of stress. I did see nut milks that are fortified with calcium; however I believe supplementing would be just as effective (as my current nut milk choice is not fortified with calcium). Thanks and love your work!!!                                                                                                                                                               Al: Dr. Cabral, can you explain whether air filters with ionizers and plasma wave are good choices. Some sources say that they create unnatural and thus air, some says that it's the best. Please share your opinion, thank you.                                    Lala: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm writing in for my brother-in-law. He is in his late 30s and has memory issues. When he was I think 19 he spent a day using paint used for semi trucks which he told me is super intense toxic industrial (I believe aerosol style). There was not good ventilation and it wasn't until he took his mask off that he realized it wasn't sealed appropriately. He said it was that incident when his memory changed for good. Because his brain was still developing he believes there's nothing that can be done. I feel like there's got to be something to at least help. My guess is things that help oxidative stress among probably other things? Would love to get your insights. Thank you so much for all that you do and give.                                                                                                                                                                                Bettina: Thanks for all you do and for giving this possibility to get your take on things. A friend of my family, age 70+, has just been diagnosed with PLS. What would you recommend if this was someone in your family? Thank you for your time.      Becky: Hello Dr. Cabral. What would you recommend for someone with untreated Scheuermann's disease? My husband, age 47, has this and so does my 14-year-old son. Is runs in my husbands family as my husbands mother has it as well.    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3376 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz is joined by Allison Mädl, FNTP, educator, and long-time contributor to the Nutritional Therapy Association. Together, they unpack one of the most overlooked keys to vibrant health: minerals.   Allison shares how her personal health journey, combined with her years of teaching English to indigenous students in the U.S., led her to uncover the deeply rooted nutritional wisdom found in traditional cultures—especially the mineral-rich diets of the Misteco people of southern Mexico. From the science of how minerals regulate everything from inflammation to thyroid function, to the ancestral food practices like foraging and nixtamalization (soaking corn in alkaline solutions) to create more bio-availability in nutrient profiles, this episode explores how returning to whole, mineral-dense foods can transform our health at a cellular level - - - and may even slow graying hair!   You'll learn:   Why mineral balance is more important than isolated supplementation The role of minerals in muscle contraction, bone strength, and gene expression How trace mineral deficiencies may be linked to premature graying and chronic inflammation How reverse osmosis water could be depleting your mineral stores—and what to do about it Practical, ancestral ways to infuse more minerals into your life (yes, including tortillas)   Whether you're struggling with cramps, fatigue, inflammation, or just want to feel more resilient in your body, this conversation is packed with both inspiration and actionable wisdom rooted in tradition, science, and bio-individuality.   Don't forget to tune in Thursday for a follow-up "Quick Tips" episode on mineral-rich foods and simple ways to incorporate them into your routine.   Subscribe, give us a five-star review, and leave comments (if listening on Spotify!).

In this video, Dr, Doug Lucas discusses the implications of high levels of calcium in urine (hypercalciuria) and its relationship with bone health, particularly osteoporosis. He critiques the conventional medical approach of treating hypercalciuria with hydrochlorothiazide without addressing the underlying causes of bone loss. Dr. Doug emphasizes the importance of understanding the various factors contributing to high calcium levels, including genetics, dietary intake, and supplementation, and advocates for a holistic approach to bone health that focuses on identifying and reversing the root causes of bone loss.

In this episode of the Kidney Stone Diet podcast, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the importance of managing oxalate intake for kidney stone prevention. They emphasize that many people overemphasize the dangers of oxalate, leading to unnecessary dietary restrictions. Instead, they advocate for a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables while ensuring adequate calcium intake to effectively lower oxalate levels. Jill explains how calcium binds with oxalate in the gut, preventing its reabsorption and subsequent kidney stone formation. The conversation highlights the need for proper nutrition education regarding calcium and its role in overall health, especially for those at risk of kidney stones.TakeawaysOxalate is often overemphasized in dietary concerns.A balanced diet should include fruits and vegetables.Calcium is crucial for preventing kidney stones.Many people are unaware of their calcium needs.High oxalate foods can be managed with adequate calcium.Fruits provide essential nutrients and should not be avoided.Calcium binds with oxalate to prevent kidney stone formation.Nutrition education is vital for kidney stone prevention.Dairy and non-dairy sources can provide necessary calcium.Regular monitoring of dietary intake is important for health. 00:00 Understanding Oxalate and Its Impact02:44 The Importance of Fruits and Vegetables05:58 Calcium's Role in Lowering Oxalate12:10 Preventative Health and Calcium Needs——HAVE A QUESTION? _Leave us a voicemail at (773) 789-8764.KIDNEY STONE DIET® APPROVED PRODUCTSProtein Powders, Snacks, and moreWORK WITH JILL _Kidney Stone Diet®Kidney Stone Prevention CourseKidney Stone Diet® Meal PlansSUPPORT THE SHOW _Join the PatreonRate Kidney Stone Diet on Apple Podcasts or Spotify——WHO IS JILL HARRIS? _For over 25 years, Jill Harris has been a kidney stone prevention nurse helping patients reduce their kidney stone risk.

If you are worried about keeping your bones strong, there’s more to the story than taking calcium supplements. Vitamin D and vitamin K work together to support strong, healthy bones. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium from food, which is essential for building and maintaining bone density. But without enough vitamin K—particularly vitamin K2—that calcium might not end up where it's needed. Vitamin K2 activates proteins that help direct calcium into bones and teeth while keeping it out of soft tissues like arteries. In other words, vitamin D gets the calcium in, and vitamin K makes sure it goes to the right place. In today’s episode, we discuss the important relationship between vitamin D and vitamin K. These 2 fat-soluble vitamins collaborate to support bone density – there’s more to bone health than calcium! Today on The Lab Report: 4:15 Fat-soluble vitamins 6:00 Vitamin D recap 9:35 Bone remodeling 12:05 All about Vitamin K 15:50 Calcium isn’t the whole story 18:25 D3/K2 and cardiovascular health 20:15 Other factors that contribute to bone health 22:40 Question of the Day Do problems with fat digestion cause vitamin deficiency?

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   We all need to ask why and how.  Why do this procedure or eat this way, and how will it help me.  Will I live longer or better?  One might think that early detection will result in better cures or outcomes.  However, the treatment may cause significant problems and not affect longevity in a positive way.  Watching rarely results in a positive change.  Why not just eat plant based and exercise?   When I look at a procedure or dietary lifestyle, I look for long term outcomes.  How will that affect my longevity? How will it affect my health span.  A few years of testimonials is not what I am looking at.  What is the long term risk?  Today I respond to a internet doctor that suggests we do not need fiber.  None.  I also will review a recent study looking at who might benefit from a coronary calcium score.  Thanks for listening.  Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com Practice information at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Dietetic consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training programing: nathan@doctordulaney.com Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. code: cleanwaterforsophie https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2830950 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-03570-5
