This week, we're diving into part four of the Minerals Decoded series, and we're focusing on a crucial topic: the calcium-to-magnesium ratio, often referred to as the blood sugar or carbohydrate ratio. This specific mineral imbalance is key to addressing issues like unexplained muscle aches, sugar cravings, energy crashes, and sleep disturbances. I share the story of one of my clients who struggled with these symptoms and found relief through understanding her HTMA results and adjusting her calcium-to-magnesium ratio. We explore the intricate relationship between calcium and magnesium, how an imbalance in these minerals can affect insulin production and blood sugar regulation, and the symptoms you might experience if you have this mineral imbalance. As always, I offer some practical steps to manage this through diet, stress management, and magnesium supplementation. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how maintaining the right calcium-to-magnesium ratio is essential for your blood sugar stability and overall well-being. Whether you're dealing with chronic stress, muscle aches, or struggle with managing your blood sugar, this episode is packed with valuable insights to guide you on your wellness journeyDisclaimer: This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

Description: Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council, interview Anna Henderson, MD, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Northern Light Health in Maine, about bone mineral density in EoE patients. They discuss a paper she co-authored on the subject.

Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz.   [1:17] Holly introduces today's topic, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and bone density.   [1:22] Holly introduces today's guest, Dr. Anna Henderson, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Northern Light Health in Maine.   [1:29] During her pediatric and pediatric gastroenterology training at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, she took a special interest in eosinophilic esophagitis. In 2019, Dr. Henderson received APFED's NASPGHAN Outstanding EGID Abstract Award.   [1:45] Holly, a feeding therapist in Maine, has referred many patients to Dr. Henderson and is excited to have her on the show.   [2:29] Dr. Henderson is a wife and mother. She loves to swim and loves the outdoors. She practices general pediatric GI in Bangor, Maine, at a community-based academic center.   [2:52] Her patient population is the northern two-thirds of Maine. Dr. Henderson feels it is rewarding to bring her expertise from Cincinnati to a community that may not otherwise have access to specialized care.   [3:13] Dr. Henderson's interest in EoE grew as a GI fellow at Cincinnati Children's. Her research focused on biomarkers for disease response to dietary therapies and EoE's relationship to bone health.   [3:36] As a fellow, Dr. Henderson rotated through different specialized clinics. She saw there were many unanswered questions about the disease process, areas to improve treatment options, and quality of life for the patients suffering from these diseases.   [4:00] Dr. Henderson saw many patients going through endoscopies. She saw the social barriers for patients following strict diets. She saw a huge need in EoE and jumped on it.   [4:20] Ryan grew up with EoE. He remembers the struggles of constant scopes, different treatment options, and dietary therapy. Many people struggled to find what was best for them before there was a good approved treatment.   [4:38] As part of Ryan's journey, he learned he has osteoporosis. He was diagnosed at age 18 or 19. His DEXA scan had such a low Z-score that they thought the machine was broken. He was retested.   [5:12] Dr. Henderson explains that bone mineral density is a key measure of bone health and strength. Denser bones contain more minerals and are stronger. A low bone mineral density means weaker bones. Weaker bones increase the risk of fracture.   [5:36] DEXA scan stands for Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scan. It's a type of X-ray that takes 10 to 30 minutes. A machine scans over their bones. Typically, we're most interested in the lumbar spine and hip bones.   [5:56] The results are standardized to the patient's height and weight, with 0 being the average. A negative number means weaker bones than average for that patient's height and weight. Anything positive means stronger bones for that patient's height and weight.   [6:34] A lot of things can affect a patient's bone mineral density: genetics, dietary history, calcium and Vitamin D intake, and medications, including steroid use. Prednisone is a big risk factor for bone disease.   [7:07] Other risk factors are medical and auto-immune conditions, like celiac disease, and age. Any patient will have their highest bone density in their 20s to 30s. Females typically have lower bone mineral density than males.   [7:26] The last factor is lifestyle. Patients who are more active and do weight-bearing exercises will have higher bone mineral density than patients who have more of a sedentary lifestyle.   [7:56] Ryan was told his bone mineral density issues were probably a side-effect of the long-term steroids he was on for his EoE. Ryan is now on benralizumab for eosinophilic asthma. He is off steroids.   [8:36] Dr. Henderson says the research is needed to find causes of bone mineral density loss besides glucocorticoids.   [8:45] EoE patients are on swallowed steroids, fluticasone, budesonide, etc. Other patients are on steroids for asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis. These may be intranasal steroids or topical steroids.   [9:01] Dr. Henderson says we wondered whether or not all of those steroids and those combined risks put the EoE population at risk for low bone mineral density. There's not a lot published in that area.   [9:14] We know that proton pump inhibitors can increase the risk of low bone mineral density. A lot of EoE patients are on proton pump inhibitors.   [9:23] That was where Dr. Henderson's interest started. She didn't have a great way to screen for bone mineral density issues or even know if it was a problem in her patients more than was expected in a typical patient population.   [9:57] Holly wasn't diagnosed with EoE until she was in her late 20s. She was undiagnosed but was given prednisone for her problems. Now she wonders if she should get a DEXA scan.   [10:15] Holly hopes the listeners will learn something and advocate for themselves or for their children.   [10:52] If a patient is concerned about their bone mineral density, talking to your PCP is a perfect place to start. They can discuss the risk factors and order a DEXA scan and interpret it, if needed.   [11:11] If osteoporosis is diagnosed, you should see an endocrinologist, specifically to discuss therapy, including medications called bisphosphonates.   [11:36] From an EoE perspective, patients can talk to their gastroenterologist about what bone mineral density risk factors may be and if multiple risk factors exist. Gastroenterologists are also more than capable of ordering DEXA scans and helping their patients along that journey.   [11:53] A DEXA scan is typically the way to measure bone mineral density. It's low radiation, it's easy, it's fast, and relatively inexpensive.   [12:10] It's also useful in following up over time in response to different interventions, whether or not that's stopping medications or starting medications.   [12:30] Dr. Henderson co-authored a paper in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, called “Prevalence and Predictors of Compromised Bone Mineral Density in Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis.” The study looked at potential variables.   [12:59] The researchers were looking at chronic systemic steroid use. They thought it was an issue in their patients, especially patients with multiple atopic diseases like asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis. That's where the study started.   [13:22] Over the years, proton pump inhibitors have become more ubiquitous, and more research has come out. The study tried to find out if this was an issue or not. There weren't any guidelines for following these patients, as it was a retrospective study.    [13:42] At the time, Dr. Henderson was at a large institution with a huge EoE population. She saw that she could do a study and gather a lot of information on a large population of patients. Studies like this are the start of figuring out the guidelines for the future.   [14:34] Dr. Henderson wanted to determine whether pediatric patients with EoE had a lower-than-expected bone mineral density, compared to their peers. [14:44] Then, if there were deficits, she wanted to determine where they were more pronounced. Were they more pronounced in certain subgroups of patients with EoE?   [14:59] Were they patients with an elemental diet? Patients with an elimination diet? Were they patients on steroids or PPIs? Were they patients with multiple atopic diseases? Is low bone mineral density just a manifestation of their disease processes?   [15:14] Do patients with active EoE have a greater propensity to have low bone mineral density? The study was diving into see what the potential risk factors are for this patient population.   [15:45] The study was a retrospective chart review. They looked at patients aged 3 to 21. You can't do a DEXA scan on a younger patient, and 21 is when people leave pediatrics.   [16:03] These were all patients who had the diagnosis of EoE and were seen at Cincinnati Children's in the period between 2014 and 2017. That period enabled full ability for chart review. Then they looked at the patients who had DEXA scans.   [16:20] They did a manual chart review of all of the patients and tried to tease out what the potential exposures were. They looked at demographics, age, sex, the age of the diagnosis of EoE, medications used, such as PPIs, and all different swallowed steroids.   [16:44] They got as complete a dietary history as they could: whether or not patients were on an elemental diet, whether that was a full elemental diet, whether they were on a five-food, six-food, or cow's milk elimination diet.   [16:58] They teased out as much as they could. One of the limitations of a retrospective chart review is that you can't get some of the details, compared to doing a prospective study. For example, they couldn't tease out the dosing or length of therapy, as they would have liked.   [17:19] They classified those exposures as whether or not the patient was ever exposed to those medications, whether or not they were taking them at the time of the DEXA scan, or if they had been exposed within the year before the DEXA scan.   [17:40] They also looked at whether the patients had other comorbid atopic disorders, to see if those played a role, as well.   [18:03] The study found that there was a slightly lower-than-expected bone mineral density in the patients. The score was -0.55, lower than average but not diagnostic of a low bone mineral density, which would be -2 or below.   [18:27] There were 23 patients with low bone mineral density scores of -2 or below. That was 8.6% of the study patients. Typically, only 2.5% of the population would have that score. It was hard to tease out the specific risk factors in a small population of 23.   [18:57] They looked at what the specific risk factors were that were associated with low bone mineral density, or bone mineral density in general.   [19:12] After moving from Colorado, Holly has transferred to a new care team, and doctors wanted her baseline Vitamin D and Calcium levels. No one had ever tested that on her before. Dr. Henderson says it's hard because there's nothing published on what to do.   [19:58] The biggest surprise in the study was that swallowed steroids, or even combined steroid exposure, didn't have any effect on bone mineral density. That was reassuring, in light of what is known about glucocorticoid use.   [20:16] The impact of PPI use was interesting. The study found that any lifetime use of PPIs did seem to decrease bone mineral density. It was difficult to tease out the dosing and the time that a patient was on PPIs.   [20:34] Dr. Henderson thinks that any lifetime use of PPIs is more of a representation of their cumulative use of PPIs. At the time of the study, from 2014 to 2017, PPIs were still very much first-line therapy for EoE; 97% of the study patients had taken PPIs at some time.   [21:02] There are so many more options now for therapy when a patient has a new diagnosis of EoE, especially with dupilumab now being an option.   [21:11] Dr. Henderson speaks of patients who started on PPIs and have stayed on them for years. This study allows her to question whether we need to continue patients on PPIs. When do we discuss weaning patients off PPIs, if appropriate?   [22:05] Ryan says these podcasts are a great opportunity for the community at large and also for the hosts. He just wrote himself a note to ask his endocrinologist about coming off PPIs.   [22:43] Dr. Henderson says that glucocorticoid use is a known risk factor for low bone mineral density and osteoporosis. In the asthma population, inhaled steroids can slightly decrease someone's growth potential while the patient is taking them.   [23:10] From those two facts, it was thought that swallowed steroids would have a similar effect. But since they're swallowed and not systemic, maybe things are different.   [23:23] It was reassuring to Dr. Henderson that what her study found was that the swallowed steroid didn't affect bone mineral density. There was one other study that found that swallowed steroids for EoE did not affect someone's height.   [23:51] Dr. Henderson clarifies that glucocorticoids include systemic steroids like prednisone and hydrocortisone.     [23:57] Based on Dr. Henderson's retrospective study, fluticasone as a swallowed steroid did not affect bone mineral density. It was hard to tease out the dosing, but the cumulative use did not seem to result in a deficit for bone mineral density.   [24:16] Holly shared that when she tells a family of a child she works with that the child's gastroenterologist will likely recommend steroids, she will now give them the two papers Dr. Henderson mentioned. There are different types of steroids. The average person doesn't know the difference.   [25:15] Dr. Henderson thinks that for patients who have multiple risk factors for low bone mineral density, it is reasonable to have a conversation about bone health with their gastroenterologist to see whether or not a DEXA scan would be worth it.   [25:56] If low bone mineral density is found, that needs to be followed up on.   [26:03] There are no great guidelines, but this study is a good start on what these potential risk factors are. We need some more prospective studies to look at these risk factors in more detail than Dr. Henderson's team teased out in this retrospective study.   [26:23] Dr. Henderson tells how important it is for patients to participate in prospective longitudinal studies for developing future guidelines.   [26:34] Holly points out that a lot of patients are on restrictive diets. It's important to think about the whole picture if you are starting a medication or an elimination, or a restricted diet. You have to think about the impact on your body, overall.   [27:11] People don't think of dietary therapy as medication, but it has risks and benefits involved, like a medication.   [27:50] Dr. Henderson says, in general, lifestyle management is the best strategy for managing bone health. Stay as active as you can with weight-bearing exercises and eating a well-balanced diet. If you are on a restrictive diet, make sure it's well-balanced.   [28:12] Dr. Henderson says a lot of our patients have feeding disorders, so they see feeding specialists like Holly. A balanced diet is hard when kids are very selective in their eating habits.   [29:10] Dr. Henderson says calcium and Vitamin D are the first steps in how we treat patients with low bone mineral density. A patient who is struggling with osteoporosis needs to discuss it with their endocrinologist for medications beyond supplementation.   [29:31] Ryan reminds listeners who are patients always to consult with their medical team. Don't go changing anything up just because of what we're talking about here. Ask your care team some good questions.   [29:47] Dr. Henderson would like families to be aware, first, that some patients with EoE will have bone mineral density loss, especially if they are on PPIs and restrictive diets. They should start having those discussions with their providers.   [30:04] Second, Dr. Henderson would like families to be reassured that swallowed steroids and combined steroid exposure didn't have an impact on bone mineral density. Everyone can take that away from today's chat.   [30:18] Lastly, Dr. Henderson gives another plug for patient participation in prospective studies, if they're presented with the opportunity. It's super important to be able to gather more information and make guidelines better for our patients. [30:35] Holly thanks Dr. Henderson for coming on Real Talk — Eosinophilic Diseases and sharing her insights on bone mineral density, and supporting patients in Maine.   [30:57] Dr. Henderson will continue to focus on the clinical side.

It's a type of X-ray where a patient lies down for 10 to 30 minutes. A machine scans over their bones. Typically, we're most interested in the lumbar spine and hip bones.” — Anna Henderson, MD   “We wondered whether or not all of those steroids and those combined risks even put our EoE population at risk for low bone mineral density. There's not a lot published in that area.” — Anna Henderson, MD   “If a patient is worried [about their bone mineral density], their PCP is a perfect place to start for that. They're more than capable of discussing the risk factors specific for that patient, ordering a DEXA scan, and interpreting it if need be.” — Anna Henderson, MD   “I think we need some more prospective studies to look at these risk factors in a little bit more detail than we were able to tease out in our retrospective review.” — Anna Henderson, MD   “Just another plug for the participation in prospective studies, if you're presented with the opportunity. It's super important to be able to gather more information and to be able to make guidelines better for our patients about these risks.” — Anna Henderson, MD

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.

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.

(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.

What if you could slow down aging—without supplements, gimmicks, or starvation?

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?
