Can high-precision radiation change how we treat metastatic prostate cancer? In this episode, I'm joined by Ronald C. Chen, MD, MPH—radiation oncologist, national guideline author (AUA/ASCO), and clinical-trial leader with 170+ publications—to unpack stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for disease that has spread to lymph nodes, bones, and beyond. We get practical about who benefits, where SBRT shines, and how to balance treatment intensity with quality of life.SBRT offers highly focused, short-course radiation that can control limited (“oligo-”) metastatic prostate cancer and delay systemic therapy for many men. Dr. Chen explains when to treat individual nodes/bone lesions versus comprehensive nodal fields, how anatomy determines dose/fraction choices (often 3–5 treatments), and why modern SBRT sometimes reduces the need for concurrent hormone therapy. We cover salvage options after prior radiation (brachytherapy seeds, HIFU, cryo, repeat SBRT, or salvage prostatectomy), the role and limits of PSMA PET, fracture risk and bone health (DEXA), and the evolving data—including the large NRG-GU013 trial—for higher-risk disease. Throughout, we emphasize shared decision-making, realistic expectations, and considering clinical trials when data are evolving.00:00 – Can SBRT change metastatic prostate cancer care? Meet Dr. Ron Chen.01:00 – Disclaimer: Views are Dr. Geo's and guests'—independent of NYU Langone.07:00 – Recurrence scenarios: prostate-only, nodal, or bone/other; why catching early matters.12:00 – Five salvage options after prostate radiation: seeds (brachytherapy), HIFU, cryo, SBRT (focal or whole-gland), or salvage prostatectomy.19:00 – Nodal relapse: treat all pelvic nodes + ADT ± abiraterone vs. SBRT to a few nodes only—how patient priorities drive the plan.26:30 – Oligometastasis: SBRT alone can control disease for many men ~2+ years on average, delaying hormones.30:00 – Fractions: why 3–5 treatments is typical and how adjacent bowel/organ anatomy sets the pace.31:00 – SBRT in 2 fractions for select primary cases looks promising; high-risk SBRT under study (NRG-GU013).37:00 – Bone mets: SBRT preferred; understanding fracture risk (tumor size, dose, shrinkage).40:00 – DEXA before ADT; spine SBRT can spare the spinal cord with modern planning.48:00 – Clavicle/hilar nodes: SBRT near lung/heart/esophagus—safe with careful dose constraints.56:00 – Why clinical trials matter for “how long on hormones?” and other open questions.57:00 – Soft-tissue mets (liver/brain): SBRT can help, often alongside systemic therapy.59:00 – Parting advice: early detection, close follow-up, and hopeful trajectory of care.___________________________________

Welcome to The Peptide Podcast. In this episode, we're unpacking the latest on retatrutide and how it measures up against semaglutide and tirzepatide.  If you want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  https://pepties.com/partners/ We'll look closely at what the studies tell us so far — from overall weight loss to reductions in visceral fat and how much lean muscle mass is preserved. We'll also talk about where the evidence is solid, where it's still developing, and why cross-trial comparisons should be made with caution. What is retatrutide? So let's start with the basics—what is retatrutide? Retatrutide is a new type of weight-loss medication called a triple agonist. That sounds fancy, but what it really means is that it targets three hormone receptors in the gut and pancreas: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. Each of these plays a slightly different role in metabolism and appetite regulation. To break it down: GLP-1, which you might already know from drugs like semaglutide, mainly slows digestion, helps you feel full, and improves insulin sensitivity. GIP, which tirzepatide targets along with GLP-1, also helps regulate blood sugar and may improve how the body stores and burns fat. Retatrutide adds glucagon receptor activation on top of that, which seems to further boost fat burning. So how does this compare to semaglutide and tirzepatide? Semaglutide is a GLP-1-only drug, so it mainly works by reducing appetite and slowing gastric emptying. Tirzepatide is a dual agonist, hitting GLP-1 and GIP, which gives it a slightly stronger effect on blood sugar control and fat metabolism compared to semaglutide. Retatrutide goes one step further by adding glucagon activity, potentially giving more total fat loss. In other words, you can think of it like a spectrum: semaglutide hits one target, tirzepatide hits two, and retatrutide hits three—each additional receptor seems to enhance metabolic effects and fat loss in clinical trials. That's why people are excited about retatrutide, though it's still early, and we're waiting on larger studies to see exactly how it compares head-to-head with the others. And that's going to be key, since right now we don't have direct comparisons to other advanced therapies like semaglutide or tirzepatide in the published Phase 2 data. How does retatrutide compare to semaglutide and tirzepatide? Total body weight loss: Now let's put these three medications side by side and look at what the trials actually tell us about total body weight loss. Starting with retatrutide: in its Phase 2 obesity program, the numbers were unusually large, especially given the relatively short trial window. In the 48-week study, people on the higher doses—8 or 12 milligrams weekly—lost about 22 to 24% of their body weight on average. That's the result that really made headlines. It's worth noting that some trials report slightly different averages depending on the group studied—people with obesity but no diabetes versus people with type 2 diabetes—but across the board, that 48-week signal is consistently very strong. For comparison, let's step back to semaglutide at the 2.4 mg dose, which was tested in the pivotal STEP-1 trial. Over 68 weeks, participants lost about 15% of their body weight on average. That was a landmark finding when it was published in the New England Journal of Medicine—it essentially set the modern benchmark for what a GLP-1 monotherapy could do. Then we have tirzepatide, the dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist. The SURMOUNT-1 trial, which ran for 72 weeks, showed dose-dependent results: about 15% weight loss at 5 mg, 19.5% at 10 mg, and 20.9% at 15 mg, compared to only around 3% with placebo. Other obesity studies with tirzepatide have backed this up, especially at the higher doses. And in head-to-head comparisons with semaglutide, tirzepatide has consistently come out on top. So if we zoom out: retatrutide's Phase 2 data suggest the greatest average reductions—over 22%—in less than a year. Tirzepatide follows closely behind with around 21% over 72 weeks. And semaglutide shows very meaningful, but smaller, weight loss of around 15% over a similar time frame. The big caveat here is that these aren't perfect apples-to-apples comparisons. The trials differed in their length, the types of patients enrolled—some had type 2 diabetes, some did not—their baseline weights, and even the way results were reported. Plus, retatrutide is still in Phase 2 for obesity, whereas semaglutide and tirzepatide already have large Phase 3 programs and real-world data backing them up. Visceral fat reduction: Next, let's talk about visceral fat reduction—that's the deep fat that surrounds organs like the liver, pancreas, and intestines. It's particularly important because high levels of visceral fat are strongly linked to cardiometabolic disease. Starting with retatrutide, one of the Phase 2 substudies used DEXA scans to measure body composition in detail. At the higher doses—8 and 12 milligrams per week—participants saw visceral fat drop by about 29 to 31% over 48 weeks. That's a very large relative reduction in under a year and one of the reasons people are excited about retatrutide's potential not just for weight loss, but also for improving long-term metabolic health. How does that compare to the other drugs? With semaglutide, we also have DEXA and imaging substudies from the STEP program and follow-up mechanistic work. These consistently show meaningful visceral fat reductions, along with improvements in the ratio of lean to fat mass. The difference is that semaglutide studies typically report VAT changes as “significant and clinically relevant,” but they don't always publish one clear headline number that's directly comparable to retatrutide's ~30%. In other words, semaglutide definitely lowers visceral fat, but depending on the study and population, the exact percentage looks different. For tirzepatide, we also have imaging-based data from the SURMOUNT trials and related body-composition studies. These show that the majority of weight lost is fat mass—including a significant portion of visceral fat. Some analyses report reductions on par with what's seen with GLP-1 therapies, while others suggest tirzepatide may push a bit further. But again, the actual percentages vary depending on whether the study used DEXA, CT, or MRI, and on who was enrolled. The big caveat here is that we don't yet have a head-to-head imaging study comparing all three drugs in the same population with the same methods. Retatrutide's ~30% visceral fat drop is certainly eye-catching, but without that kind of standardized comparison, it's hard to say definitively whether it's truly better than semaglutide or tirzepatide. Lean muscle mass preservation: Now let's shift to lean mass preservation, which is just as important as total weight or fat loss. Across all of the modern obesity drug trials, one thing has been consistent: most of the weight people lose is fat, but some lean tissue is lost too. That's expected whenever you're in a sustained calorie deficit. The question is how much muscle is preserved, and how the proportions break down. With retatrutide, the DEXA substudy showed something reassuring. Even though people lost a lot of total weight and fat, the proportion of lean mass lost compared to total weight loss was similar to what we see with other therapies. In other words, the drug seems to drive large fat reductions without causing disproportionate muscle loss. Interestingly, the absolute amount of lean tissue lost in kilograms was pretty stable across different doses, even though fat loss varied quite a bit. That suggests the extra weight loss with higher doses is really coming from fat, not muscle. Looking at semaglutide, the STEP trials with DEXA scans reported the same general pattern. People lost more fat than lean mass, and when you adjust for the total weight loss, body composition actually improved. In fact, some analyses showed a slight increase in the percentage of body weight that was lean tissue, even though the absolute lean mass in kilograms went down. So again, it's not that muscle isn't affected—it is—but fat loss makes up the majority of the change. For tirzepatide, the SURMOUNT body-composition studies found that about 75% of the weight lost is fat and about 25% is lean mass. That split is very similar to what was seen in the placebo groups, which means the drug isn't shifting the balance unfavorably. It preferentially reduces fat, while lean mass preservation is in the same ballpark as semaglutide and retatrutide. Now, here's the important nuance: lean mass on a DEXA scan isn't just skeletal muscle. It includes water, organ tissue, and other components. So if someone loses 3 or 4 kilograms of “lean mass,” we don't know how much of that is functional muscle versus water or smaller organ size. That's why these numbers can be misleading if you take them at face value. And this is where lifestyle comes in. Resistance training and adequate protein intake are critical alongside medication. Lifting weights or doing bodyweight resistance work helps preserve functional muscle, while getting enough protein—typically somewhere in the range of 0.8 to 1 gram per pound per day depending on age and activity—supports muscle repair and maintenance. Every trial we've seen shows that the best outcomes, in terms of maintaining strength and function, come from pairing these drugs with exercise and nutrition strategies. That way, the unavoidable lean mass changes have far less impact on long-term metabolic health and performance. Limitations, biases, and what's missing (the critical context). No large, peer-reviewed head-to-head trials (yet) comparing retatrutide with semaglutide or tirzepatide for the same endpoints using identical imaging protocols. Most comparisons are cross-trial and therefore imperfect. Retatrutide Phase-2 was often compared to placebo or dulaglutide (in the T2D DEXA substudy) rather than to semaglutide or tirzepatide. A head-to-head (planned/registered) study vs tirzepatide is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov but results are not published yet. Different populations & durations. Some retatrutide data come from cohorts that include people with T2D or NAFLD; semaglutide STEP trials were often in people with obesity (without diabetes) and run longer (68 weeks), while tirzepatide SURMOUNT trials ran to 72 weeks. These differences change the absolute and percent outcomes. Funding and reporting bias. Many of the early retatrutide analyses are industry-funded (Eli Lilly), which is standard for drug development, but it requires us to carefully read methods, endpoints, and completeness of reporting. Independent replication and Phase-3 confirmation matter. Imaging method variation. VAT reported by DXA vs MRI vs CT are not directly interchangeable. Some trials report VAT area, others percent change; that complicates cross-trial percent comparisons.  Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

If you're on the sidelines, say yes to Dec 11–12 in Miami.- Measure What Matters: Book testing (VO₂, metabolic, DEXA, labs) and align training zones and recovery to your data.- Choose, Don't Chance: Growth is a decision—set one commitment you'll execute this week that matches your identity.=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG=========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE: ➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG =========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/ =========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media: ➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en Own It Success is different so own your different!

In today's episode, host Pete Moore sits down with returning guest Jason Moore, CEO and founder of Spren (formerly Elite HRV.) Jason shares the journey of his company's cutting-edge technology, which transforms any smartphone into an advanced biomarker and body composition analysis tool. With over a million users and thousands of coaches trained, Spren's platform is accelerating how gyms, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts track results and stay motivated. Pete and Jason dive into the evolution of Spren's technology, lessons learned from the pandemic, and how partnerships with industry leaders like Fitness On Demand are reshaping the member experience across more than a thousand gyms. Jason also pulls back the curtain on the powerful data trends Spren has uncovered, including what truly drives lasting health changes among gym members—and why focusing on muscle may be the key to long-term success. Whether you're a club operator, coach, or just passionate about fitness technology, this episode is a candid look at where health and wellness measurement is headed, how to engage members both inside and outside the gym, and the grit it takes to keep innovating in the HALO sector.  In discussions surrounding tech, there's always the question of data. On that Jason states, "Ultimately the member owns their data . . . that's how we think of it. Like you Pete, or whoever's listening, you own your own data, you can delete it all or take it with you. There's a big trend towards data portability." Key themes discussed Evolution of Spren's body composition technology. Integration with Fitness on Demand and gyms. Seamless, phone-based body measurement solutions. Learnings from SDK/API versus turnkey offerings. Role of data and biomarkers in fitness journeys. Member engagement and personalized coaching tools. Trends in gym programming and equipment preferences. 1. Spren's Technological Evolution: Spren has transitioned from a prototype-focused company to delivering a full-fledged, scalable product. Their tech uses just a phone camera to provide accurate body composition analysis comparable to a DEXA scan. Over the last two years, they've moved towards offering turnkey solutions that require no IT or development resources, making implementation easier for fitness operators of all sizes. 2. Strategic Partnerships & Expansion: Spren has formed partnerships with major fitness platforms like Fitness on Demand, enabling rollouts across over a thousand gyms. These collaborations let gyms effortlessly integrate body composition tracking and personalized coaching for members, meeting the growing demand for accountability and measurable wellness outcomes. 3. Market Learnings & Business Model Shift: Jason shared that initially, Spren focused on offering their technology as an SDK/API for other tech teams to integrate. However, long implementation timelines and the complexity of custom integrations led them to shift toward simple, self-contained solutions that appeal directly to operators and members—and the market has responded positively to this shift. 4. Holistic Data & User Experience: Spren not only tracks body fat and muscle composition but also integrates data from blood labs and wearables to provide a more comprehensive view of a member's health. The company emphasizes user privacy and data ownership, and keeps the member in control of their own data, with growing features for research and cross-platform health data portability. 5. Industry Trends and Actionable Insights: One of the biggest insights from Spren's dataset is that consistent gym-goers and those who work with qualified coaches show significantly better health outcomes. Also, members who focus on muscle building and preservation, not just fat loss, enjoy better long-term outcomes. Jason also noted a shift in club operators showing a greater willingness to pay for high-impact technology that enhances retention and member results, acknowledging that wellness tech can be an investment rather than just an expense.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter explores how to determine the right diet for yourself rather than searching for a universal “best” diet. He begins by laying out five non-negotiable criteria that any sustainable eating pattern must meet—energy balance, metabolic health, adequate protein, micronutrient sufficiency, and long-term adherence—before introducing a practical rubric for evaluating different diets. Using this framework, Peter walks through the ketogenic, carnivore, vegan, and Mediterranean diets, highlighting their strengths, ideal candidates for each, and common pitfalls such as micronutrient gaps or adherence challenges. He explains why this guidance is aimed at people who feel overwhelmed by diet choices, not zealots defending a single approach, and provides practical advice on using tools like DEXA scans, lab markers, continuous glucose monitors, and symptom tracking to assess whether a diet is truly working. If you're not a subscriber and are listening on a podcast player, you'll only be able to hear a preview of the AMA.

The 100th episode of Fat Science brings together Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright for a live mailbag celebration with listeners worldwide. Hear how the show began, reflect on lessons learned, and get answers to the questions people wish their doctors would address—especially about metabolism, obesity, diabetes, GLP-1 medications, and more.Dr. Cooper shares the big-picture science behind “why we get fat,” the true drivers of metabolic dysfunction, and the evolution of her pioneering clinical practice. Andrea and Mark reveal the patient's perspective—an honest look at what happens when the latest science meets real lives. Plus, practitioners and patients weigh in on the shifting cultural tide: it's not a diet problem, it's a metabolic problem.Key Takeaways:GLP-1 medications do not appear to harm future fertility or cause birth defect risks; improved metabolism may even help down the road.Leptin resistance/suppression: what labs really mean, why mechanical eating matters, and how ghrelin and other signals clarify the picture.“Diet Drug” stigma is outdated; GLP-1 medications target dysfunction, not willpower.Compounded GLP-1 solutions can be risky. Dr. Cooper explains supply chain, testing, and safer cost-saving alternatives like Lilly Direct, NovoCare, and Canadian Kwik pens.Autoimmune diseases (like celiac) may interfere with signals, but GLP-1s—especially bioidentical ones—are still options with careful monitoring.“Selfish Brain” explained: labs to request, what cerebral insulin suppression looks like, and why fueling and sleep are core solutions.Hashimoto's: often distinct from metabolic dysfunction; both need tailored management and mechanical fueling.Heavy lifting & nutrition: protein needs often overstated—1.0–1.3g/kg ideal; pre-bed protein useful; DEXA scans help track muscle mass.Menopause & metabolism: estrogen/leptin loss, why patch plus micronized progesterone is often safest, and how each choice impacts metabolic health.Navigating insurance complexities, tariffs, and lifetime maxes—when and how to explore creative access.Metabolic changes tied to cycles, pregnancy, birth control: which progestins are weight-neutral, what to ask, and which labs to run if hitting plateaus.GLP-1s often improve blood pressure; dizziness may mean time to reduce meds, not the GLP-1.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea and Mark share a decade-plus of metabolic journeys—their dramatic health wins and the ongoing battle for self-compassion and body image. Listeners celebrate victories: reversing fatty liver, thriving after cancer, and breaking free from diet cycles.“No diets. No agendas. Just science that makes you feel better.” The audience and hosts repeat this Fat Science tagline to mark the milestone.Resources:Fat Science explains where fat really comes from and why it won't just go away.

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…   Raina: Hi Dr. Cabral! Hope you're feeling groovy and vibrant on this fine day! :) I recently had a baby.. I was planning for a home birth but things didn't go as planned. After 100+ hours of labor I went to the hospital and ended up with an emergency c section. My baby was taken to the NICU because of struggling to breathe - she had swallowed meconium which quickly came out and she was then breathing fine. While I was in recovery from surgery and she was in the NICU the med team gave her a vit K shot, despite the fact that i previously told them no injections. Now I'm trying to right their wrongs. Is there anything I can do to help her body after receiving the vit K shot? Also, how could I best support her body after a c section and not getting the benefits of a natural vaginal birth? Thanks!!!!!                                                                     Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I would like to get your thoughts on mesenteric panniculitis. I am a healthy 50 year-old female, currently IHP level 1 student. I had a CT abd/pelvis a few months back for a pretty bad GI virus. Scan showed enterocolitis however incidentally noted “mesenteric panniculitis, likely chronic”. I have read this (mesenteric panniculitis) can be autoimmune related and wanted to get your thoughts and any recommendations. By the way, I will be completing my first Dr. Cabral 21 day detox in 2 weeks and already feel great! Thank you so much for all you do!                                                 Jill: Dr. Cabral, I enjoy and learn so much from your podcast and appreciated learning about mammogram alternatives in episode 3049. Similarly, I'd love to find DEXA alternatives with no radiation and wanted to get your feedback on REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry). This technology has no radiation and is made by the Echolight company in Italy. It is currently available through Precision bone imaging in CA and AZ and because the technology is portable was also available to book at my local OsteoStrong location in Las Vegas, NV. Additionally, can you give your feedback on the FDA cleared device called OsteoBoost?                                                                                       John: He doc. Just wondering if you read the book the one minute cure and if you did what did you think about it . Thanks keep up the amazing work                                                                                                                                                                   John: Hey doc . In one of your previous podcast you mention how good the sauna is to do post workout, I'd like to know iif that's only after an anaerobic workout or if it's good after an aerobic workout to .

Време е за още един вълнуващ епизод от #realitycheck сериите ни. В него тестваме нашите VO2 max и други важни телесни показатели, които ще Ви покажат още информация, ако искате и Вие да разберете повече за спсобностите на Вашето тяло и за това как се справяте в спортния си път. Благодарим за съдействието на DexaFit София, които любезно направиха нашите тестове и откликнаха да ги анализираме заедно чрез техния управляващ директор Денис Колев, който и довежда световната компания у нас. Тестовете, които направихме бяха за VO2 max, което е показател за аеробната издръжливост и кардиореспираторната форма, който представлява максималното количество кислород, което тялото може да използва по време на интензивна физическа активност. По-високата стойност на VO2 max означава, че тялото по-ефективно използва кислорода за производство на енергия, което води до по-добра издръжливост, по-малко умора и по-добро цялостно здраве. VO2 max. е показател за атлетичната производителност и трябва да се увеличава, когато нивото на физическата Ви подготовка се подобрява. Водещият световен експерт по дълголетие Питър Атия вярва, че VO2 max може да се счита за показател на продължителността на живота. Познавайки Вашият VO2 max можете да таргетирате Вашите тренировки спрямо целите, които имате, а именно да възстановявате, горите мазнини или тренирате сърцето и аеробната си издръжливост по-добре. Сканирахме и телата си с DexaFit скенер, който дава информация за телесния състав, разпределението на подкожните мазнини и нивата на висцералните мазнини. Здравето на опорно-двигателния апарат, оценка на състоянието на мускулите, симетрията, силата на скелета и потенциалните рискове, свързани със саркопения и остеопороза. Оценка на рисковете за здравето, биологичната възраст и потенциалните рискове за заболявания като сърдечни болести и диабет. Направихме си и Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) тест, който показва скоростта на метаболизма ни в покой - броят на калориите, които тялото изгаря без да правим нищо. От изследването става ясен и коефициента на дихателна обмяна (RER), който разкрива предпочитаните от тялото Ви източници на гориво. В теста ще разберете и сърдечния си ритъм в покой, което предоставят ценна информация за риска от заболявания, които ще попречат на Вашето дълголетие. С данните от изследването може да подобрите диетата си за оптимална енергийна ефективност и избягване на преяждане или недояждане, след като вече знаете точните си калорийни нужди и предпочитано гориво.

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.

After decades in the health industry, I'm on a mission to get rid of traditional scales. Here's why: We've been focusing on the wrong metric for far too long, and it's doing real metabolic damage, especially to women over 40. In this episode, I'm diving into everything I've learned about body composition through my doctoral studies and 30+ years of experience working with thousands of women. The truth is, muscle is your organ of longevity, and starting around age 30, we can lose up to 1% of our muscle mass each year - that loss doubles after 60. But here's what I've discovered: when you shift your focus from weight loss to body recomposition, everything changes. I'm sharing my exact protocol for measuring what really matters (hint: it's not the number on your scale), including the specific tools I use at home and the professional assessments that give you the complete picture. Plus, I'll reveal how my husband dropped 27 pounds of fat while gaining 24 pounds of muscle in just 8 months using these strategies.  What you'll learn: Why women can handle 18-25% body fat and stay metabolically healthy (and why that's actually good news) The dangerous type of fat you need to watch (it's not where you think) and how to measure it at home How to know if you're losing muscle or fat when the scale goes down - and the simple morning test that tells you The exact body composition measurements that predict longevity better than weight My personal DEXA scan results and why they differ 5% from my home measurements (and why that's okay) The optimal rate of fat loss that preserves muscle (spoiler: it's slower than you think) Why "newbie gains" can help you build muscle faster if you're just starting resistance training The cutting-edge bone density test that revealed issues my DEXA scans missed for years Love the Podcast?

The day my DEXA scan results revealed osteoporosis was a wake-up call I dreaded. No symptoms. No warning signs. Just a family history of poor bone health. The casual “take medication and see you in two years" was a no-go for me. Like so many women in midlife, I knew there had to be another way.In this episode, I share my personal journey of reversing bone loss and improving my DEXA scan results—without relying solely on pharmaceuticals. If you are being presented with an option of drug therapy, please have the conversation with your doctor about what steps are best based on the severity of your disease. From strength training with proper form and lifting heavier weights, to increasing protein to 110–120 grams daily, optimizing supplements like vitamin D3, K2, calcium, magnesium, and collagen, and making lifestyle shifts around alcohol, sleep, hormones, and daily sunshine—this holistic approach has transformed my health in many ways.You'll learn:Why osteoporosis is called the “silent disease” (and how to catch it early)The nutrition, supplements, and workouts that actually support bone densityHow lifestyle choices—sleep, stress, and hormones—affect bone remodelingThe real results from my follow-up DEXA scanIf you're a midlife woman worried about osteoporosis, fractures, or staying strong and independent as you age, this episode will give you practical strategies and hope. Don't wait for a fracture to get serious about your bone health—start building stronger bones and a stronger future today.Supplements/Hormone Therapy I am taking: (Please consult your healthcare provider before adding any supplements.)Solaray Magnesium Glycinate https://amzn.to/4oCSXwR Solaray Calcium Citrate with D3 https://amzn.to/3HFEzTI Thorne Zinc https://amzn.to/4mLwATUOsteo-K Minis - NBI Health https://amzn.to/45UnNtfCollagen Peptides - Healthy Bones Co. https://amzn.to/419VNPLEstradiol 0.05 Transdermal PatchProgesterone 100 mgTestosterone 5mg. - Transdermal (compounded)Past shows on OsteoporosisEp.21 Kevin Ellis -  The Bone CoachEps.63 & 118 Rebecca Rotstein - The Buff Bones MethodEp.126 Dr. John Neustadt - Osteoporosis Research & NBI HealthEp.156 Dr. Doug Lucas - Orthopedic Surgeon and Osteoporosis Specialist _________________________________________Are you ready to reclaim your midlife body and health?

In this podcast episode, we tackle bone health in perimenopause and menopause with expert guidance and real-world solutions. Host Andrea Donsky—a nutritionist with over 20 years of experience, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of WeAreMorphus. Joining her is Harleen Laroia, director of Osteostrong Oakville and Toronto, who has dedicated her career to helping women regain strength and vitality.In this episode, Andrea and Harleen break down the science behind bone loss during perimenopause and menopause, share practical tips on nutrition and supplements, and introduce innovative, non-invasive technologies like Osteostrong's axial-loading system. You'll hear real success stories, learn how to stack lifestyle, nutrition, and movement for optimal bone health, and get the inside scoop on the latest research and diagnostic tools. If you're looking for actionable advice, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on thriving through menopause, this episode is a must-listen.Topics Discussed:Perimenopause causes rapid bone density loss, which increases the risk of osteoporosis (00:10:15).Nutrition and protein intake are crucial for maintaining bone health during menopause (00:25:30).Natural supplements, such as magnesium, vitamin D, and minerals, support bone strength (00:26:05).OsteoStrong's axial-loading exercises improve bone density and joint health (00:12:10, 00:23:40).Hormone therapy can restore energy and help prevent bone loss (00:06:35).OsteoStrong offers a safe, non-drug option for osteoporosis reversal (00:14:35).Bone density is tracked with DEXA scans and REMS ultrasound (00:19:20).Lifestyle changes—such as exercise, nutrition, and supplements—are essential for maintaining bone health (00:24:55).Weight-bearing exercise alone isn't enough; a multi-pronged approach is most effective (00:17:40).Consulting a menopause specialist and requesting DEXA testing is recommended (00:06:55).New research shows axial-loading exercise improves bone density and blood sugar (00:22:35).Related Links:Reverse Osteoporosis with Proven Midlife Strategies with Dr. Doug Lucas https://youtu.be/Who3x4TKyvwSend us a text ✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh

If you are working hard but still not seeing the results you want, this episode is for you.Here is a wake-up call. Around 40 percent of women over 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime, and hip fractures can be devastating. Your best defense is strong bones, and the most powerful way to build them is strength training.I see plenty of women eating well and lifting weights, yet their DEXA scans still show muscle loss. Not ideal. In this episode, you will discover the surprising shifts that happen in your 40s and 50s, why your workouts and nutrition might be working against you, the biggest mistakes midlife women make, and a sneak peek into my next lab master class, Stronger Every Week.When I was younger, I rolled my eyes at the idea that menopause made fitness harder. Cringe. But here is the truth: as estrogen drops, inflammation rises. This is not just about hot flashes or a slower metabolism. It is about a fundamental shift in your biology. Regardless of the diagnosis, inflammation is often the common enemy, and strength training is one of the most powerful tools we have to calm it down.The first reason you are not seeing results: too much exercise at too high an intensity. Women over 40 often need less all-out work than they think. Too much high-intensity exercise can lead to unstable blood sugar and rising cortisol, which can lead to cravings and energy crashes. And when you are not fueling properly, your body will break down muscle to power your workouts instead of building it. The best intensity comes from two places: heavy reps inside strength sets and short bursts of cardio intervals followed by real recovery.Reason two: missing progressive overload. Muscle is your secret weapon for a firm body, better metabolism, more energy, and sustainable fat loss. One pound of muscle burns three times more calories than one pound of fat, and the metabolic benefits go far beyond that. Start tracking your effort along with reps and weight so you can see your strength increase month by month.Finally, reason three: chasing the number on the scale. True success is about increasing lean muscle, not lowering body weight. Get a DEXA scan for body composition or try an in-body scan, then use progress photos every two weeks to stay on track.Changing your body is not easy. It is not supposed to be. That is how our bodies protect us. But after thirty years of coaching, I can tell you the underdog often wins. Even if you think you are too far gone or you have never been lean and athletic, you can turn it around.I hope you enjoyed this episode!

The lads jetted off to sunny Innsbruck in Austria to get you updates on the latest bone research. We talked to John Carey about the best way to use DEXA in clinics and Mone Ziadi about a new treatment for early menopause.

We all want to feel tight and lean, right? If you have ever wondered what it really takes to get lean and stay that way, this episode is for you. I walk you through 5 habits that will help you shift the way you see your body and body fat. You will learn what to focus on instead of fat loss, the kind of nutrition that supports a lean body, the most important upgrade in your workouts, and my favorite anchor meal.I share the story of my friend who has incredible DEXA scans, great body composition, and crushes it at the gym. She looks like the picture of health, but even she found it tough to lose a bit more fat. It is not just about effort. It is about mindset. We have been taught to see body fat as a problem, and that can mess with how we approach fitness. At the end of the day, we are all chasing a feeling. That feeling is usually feeling good. And let me tell you, it feels amazing to feel good in your own body.Here's the thing: focusing on fat loss alone doesn't work. When you only focus on losing weight, you often end up using strategies that break down your muscles. That is not what we want. Instead, shift your focus to performance. Start to think like an athlete. You will see that as your muscle grows, fat comes off more easily. Get into the habit of tracking your workouts and increasing the intensity. When your fitness goes up, fat tends to come off naturally.Next up is the habit of worrying about what other people think. This is a big one. It is totally normal to care, but other people's opinions should not control your choices. You might feel like you are being too rigid or making things awkward when it comes to food, but that is just your old programming talking. Your choices are your own. They are not hurting anyone, and they are not anyone else's business. You do not need to explain yourself or argue. Just let the comments roll off your back. That is what freedom feels like.Now let's get into food. Did you know it's really easy to eat more calories than your body needs, and that exercise does not burn nearly as many calories as people think? Fitness trackers often exaggerate calories burned, so take those with a grain of salt. Remember, your workouts are not meant to cancel out last night's dinner. They are meant to improve your body so you naturally burn more throughout the day.Start paying attention to your food, especially your protein. Track what you eat once in a while to get clear on your numbers. This is not about restriction or guilt. It is about awareness. Try different protein sources and remember that what works for someone else might not feel great for you.Which brings me to breakfast. A balanced breakfast sets the tone for the day. Each morning try to get a mix of about half your calories from carbs, a quarter from protein, and a quarter from fat. Yes, carbs belong at breakfast. All three macros matter and your body needs them to function well.And finally, the most important training habit is progression. If you want to change your body, you need to increase the weight you lift. For women over forty, this is especially important. Increasing your strength month by month builds the kind of muscle that sticks around and gives your metabolism a serious lift.If all of this feels confusing, it's probably because you are getting too many mixed messages from the internet. The truth is actually simple. Build muscle with strength training, and get your nutrition right. That is the recipe for getting and staying lean.And if you are still feeling lost, go back and listen to earlier episodes! You already have what it takes to become everything you want to be.I hope you enjoyed this episode! You can get FREE access to my 4-week Strength Without Stress program right now!

Send us a message!I see it all the time in my practice: women who feel perfectly fine put off their DEXA scans, brush off conversations about medication, or think, “That won't happen to me.” But the reality is sobering. Half of all women over 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. And in many cases, it could have been prevented.What makes osteoporosis so dangerous is how quietly it develops. There's no pain, no obvious symptoms—just a seemingly harmless moment, like moving a coffee table or missing a step, that ends in a serious, sometimes life-altering fracture. By then, your independence and quality of life may already be at risk.This episode kicks off a three-part series on bone health, designed to give you the knowledge and tools you need to protect yourself. We'll break down how your bones function, how menopause affects them, and what you can do to stay strong, starting today. You'll also learn the difference between osteopenia and osteoporosis, and how to assess both your lifestyle and medical risk factors.Your bones are your foundation. Let's make sure they stay strong for the life you want to live.Connect with me:TikTokInstagramEastside Menopause & MetabolismAudio Stamps00:55 - Introduction to a three-part series on bone health, covering how bones work, lifestyle strategies, and medication options to prevent osteoporosis.01:36 - How bones constantly remodel using osteocytes, osteoclasts, and osteoblasts working together to break down and rebuild bone tissue.04:06 - How menopause disrupts bone remodeling when estrogen drops, plus the three stages of bone health.06:06 - Why osteoporosis is called a "silent disease", and a real patient story showing the importance of early detection and prevention.7:38 - Risk factors for osteoporosis broken down into modifiable factors and non-modifiable factors.11:06 - Episode recap covering three key takeaways.Thanks for listening.

In this week's episode, we dive into all things Keto Brick and beyond. We kick off with a hilarious look back at squirrel camp and then recap the Rock Town Naturals show—emceeing duties, booth highlights, and unexpected WNBF swag-bag hookups. From there, we share results from our VO₂ Max and RMR tests (fat-adapted gains, anyone?), discuss upcoming Dexa & 3D imaging open‐houses, and brainstorm how to track performance metrics for our 2027 prep.Next up: our Brick by Brick anniversary promo—painting names on a new shipping container, 15% off site-wide Aug 3–10, free shirt with $250+. Plus, a deep dive into guided stretching sessions (no more ham-strung glutes!), and finally, a powerful mindset segment inspired by Cameron Hanes: ditch the "finish line," embrace daily micro-wins, lift-run-shoot, and commit to one unbreakable habit every day.Rock Town Recap: Emceeing went smoothly; Keto Brick booth drew military, nutrition shops, and WNBA interest.VO₂ Max & Fat Adaptation: Both of us held fat-burning zones far longer than most—proof that keto pays off in performance.Brick by Brick Promo: Aug 3 (Noon CT)–Aug 10 (11:59 PM CT): 15% off everything + your name on our new shipping container; free 2025 shirt at $250+.Guided Stretching: 30 min sessions at $85 (drops to $55/session when you buy multiple or subscribe)—perfect for unlocking tight glutes, hammies, shoulders.Mindset Reset: "Nobody cares, work harder"—embrace daily grind, avoid finish-line mentality, and lock in 3 non-negotiable daily habits.00:00 Squirrel Camp Stories & Hunting Limits02:30 Rock Town Naturals Bodybuilding Show Recap08:45 VO₂ Max & RMR Test Insights14:15 Dexa & 3D Imaging Open House Details17:50 Brick by Brick 2025 Promo Breakdown23:10 Guided Stretching Zone Experience28:00 Cameron Hanes Mindset & Daily Habit ChallengeGreg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on InstagramKey TakeawaysShow Notes & Timestampshttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/

In today's episode, I'm joined by Adam Kadela, co-founder of DexaFit and DexaFit Dx. A former athlete and trader turned health tech entrepreneur, Adam set out to make advanced diagnostic testing, like DEXA scans and VO2 max, accessible outside of elite labs and into everyday wellness routines.We talk about the evolution of DexaFit from local clinics to a global platform trusted by athletes and doctors. He explains why tracking the right metrics matters, how often to test, the truth about body recomposition, the best ways to lower visceral fat, and what most people get wrong about wearables and weight loss.Leave Us A Voice Message! | https://telbee.io/channel/4_b9zzx58wdkuwirqkcxwa/Topics Discussed: → What does a DEXA scan reveal about your health?→ How often should you get a body composition test?→ Why is visceral fat more dangerous than body fat?→ Can blue light exposure affect weight gain?→ How does VO2 max relate to longevity?Sponsored By: → AG1 | Get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D3+K2 AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first subscription at drinkAG1.com/bewell→ Be Well By Kelly Protein Powder & Essentials | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com→ Hiya Health | Get 50% off your first order at HiyaHealth.com/Kelly and give your kids the full-body nourishment they need to grow into healthy, happy adults.→ WeNatal | You can use my link, wenatal.com/kelly, with any subscription order, to get a free one month supply of WeNatal's Omega DHA+ Fish Oil valued at 35 dollars.→ Vuori | Get 20% off your first order of Vuori AND free shipping on orders over $75 at vuori.com/kellyTimestamps: → 00:00:00 - Introduction → 00:03:01 - Adam's background → 00:07:09 - DEXA & D1 athletes → 00:11:53 - Breaking down a DEXA scan→ 00:15:12 - Women's bone health → 00:22:41 - DEXA's data & frequency → 00:26:31 - Body recomp tips → 00:32:07 - Body fat & body composition → 00:35:43 - Aging & muscle loss → 00:37:45 - Understanding DEXA scan results → 00:42:14 - Lowering visceral fat → 00:48:27 - Blue light, weight gain, & intermittent fasting → 00:52:13 - VO2 max & resting metabolic rate → 00:56:47 - Gym testing (IN BODY)→ 00:59:26 - Lean mass & watching the scale → 01:05:11 - Wearable recommendations Check Out DexaFit:→ Get 25% off with code BEWELL25 at https://www.dexafit.com/redeem-code→ InstagramCheck Out Kelly:→ Instagram→ Youtube→ Facebook

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In Part 2 of our conversation, I chat again with Christian Rodriguez, this time diving deep into Body Composition, Metabolism and moreWe break down why most popular tools like DEXA scans, metabolic equations, and even wearables often underestimate or mislead, especially for muscular individuals. Christian shares what the latest research is showing, why context matters, and what's actually worth tracking if you want useful data.If you're serious about training, nutrition, and understanding your metabolism beyond just the numbers, don't miss this one.Let's talk about:Visceral fat, location & utility of body fat %Sex differences in body comp researchTotal body water prediction equationsResting metabolic rate prediction equationsEnergy balance, thermogenics & metabolic adaptationChristian's career move to Pennington BiomedicalWhere to find ChristianChristian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/__christianrodriguez__/Follow me on Instagram for more information and education:  jeffhoehn_FREE 30 Min Strategy Call: HEREBody Recomp Masterclass: HERENutrition Periodization Masterclass: HEREHow You Can Work With Me?: HERECoaching application: HEREBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a

I'm about to share something that completely changed how I think about bone health – and it might shock you, too. For years, I've been getting DEXA scans and feeling confident about my bone health because my scores looked great. Then I discovered a revolutionary new test called REMS (radiofrequency echographic multi-spectrometry), and guess what? Despite my "perfect" DEXA results, I actually have mild osteopenia. This was my wake-up call, and it's why I'm passionate about sharing the complete truth about bone health supplements women over 40 need to know. Here's what no one tells you: traditional DEXA scans only measure bone mineral density – how much bone you have – but they miss the crucial piece of bone quality. You could have normal bone density but still have fragile bones if your bone architecture, turnover rates, and collagen integrity aren't optimal. That's why I'm diving deep into the cutting-edge strategies that go far beyond calcium supplements, including specific exercises that load your spine and hips, the power of creatine for postmenopausal women, and why a simple weighted vest might be one of the best investments you'll ever make for your future self. What you'll learn: Why waiting until 65 for your first bone density test is setting you up for failure (and when you should really start testing) The game-changing difference between bone mineral density and bone quality – and why you need both for truly strong bones How REMS testing provides a radiation-free, real-time assessment that's revolutionizing personalized aging care The specific exercises that create the bone-building stress your skeleton craves, including the magic of weighted vest walking Why bone health supplements women over 40 should include creatine HCL and how it works synergistically with resistance training The hidden risk factors stealing your bone strength (hint: it's not just menopause) My complete protocol for women 40+ to build and maintain strong bones from the inside out How to overcome anabolic resistance as you age and why protein timing matters more than you think Love the Podcast?

In this episode, I share my full DEXA scan results, including a visceral fat score of 0.38 pounds, which I’m determined to drop to “0.0 fricking zero” through sprinting—shown in research to preferentially burn visceral fat. My body fat is 21 pounds (12.5%), and I break down the fat and lean mass distribution throughout my body, including minor asymmetries. I was advised to gain 2–3 pounds of muscle for longevity, though my sprinting and high jump goals favor staying lean. I discuss why chronic endurance training can increase visceral fat due to cortisol overproduction, while short, explosive workouts like sprints or strength training create a healthy stress response. You’ll also learn why bone density suffers in cyclists and astronauts, what makes muscles a glucose sink, why Dr. Ron Sinha and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon emphasize maintaining muscle as the key to long-term health and metabolic flexibility, and I end the show with a plug for muscle-centric medicine—focusing on building and maintaining muscle as the key to longevity and leanness. TIMESTAMPS: There are three types of body fat. Brown fat is what cold therapy tends to activate. [01:07] The viseral fat collects in and around the abdominal organs and is extremely health destructive. [03:05] Testosterone replacement therapy is popular however one can also choose to focus on lifestyle optimization before you consider it. [04:20] The accumulaition of viseral fat is a sign that the body's fat storage systems have become overwhelmed. [10:34] Subcutaneous fat is soft and squishy. [12:38] The DEXA scan can examine the inside of your body. Sixty-eight percent of Americans are classified as overweight or obese. [13:31] If you have competitive goals, your body is going to respond to the training stimulus and create the body that is optimal for what you are doing to it. [22:40] For endurance training for a marathon or Ironman Triathlon, you to store visceral fat. [26:47] Our hectic stressful life causes a chronic overproduction of stress hormones. [28:41] More summary of the DEXA scan shows bone density, the weight of the skeleton, and how the viseral fat surrounds your organs. [30:01] The Tour de France cyclists lose bone density because they are sitting on their bikes instead of doing weight bearing exercise. [31:54] One can check out you viseral fat score by measuring your waistline. People have experimented with changing their body weight in a single day. [35:48] Focus on muscle mass.

The protein rules in menopause change.  We've talked about protein before. But not like this.  Instead of a complicated, Smart Scale, DEXA scan-based check your numbers hard line obsession, you're going to get down-to-earth, easy to hear support for your protein rules in menopause.    My Guest: Jordan Robertson is an evidence based naturopathic doctor, and the owner of The Confident Clinician, a software built specially to help clinicians make research-backed decisions for their patients with nutrition, supplements and lifestyle medicine.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:03:19] Why do protein needs change as we age? [00:22:48] What simple ways can women use to tell if muscle mass is reducing during menopause, and when should we try to change it? [00:27:42] What happens if women don't make these changes with their muscle mass and appetite? [00:32:51] What are the best sources of protein in the diet? Your thoughts on plant vs animal protein?  [00:37:06] What is your opinion about 5-6 small meals vs 3 meals with bigger bolus?    Protein needs, especially in menopause, go up. As we age, the ability to make muscle gets harder.   Protein Needs Calculation for ideal protein intake: body weight in kg * 1.5 (if you have your weight in lbs, divide by 2.2 to convert to kg) Before: 0.8 - 1 gram of protein per kg body weight per day (based on nitrogen loss) Now: 1.2 - 1.7 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day Depends on who you are and what you need (e.g. your age, gender, lifestyle, athlete, digestive issues, protein resistance, etc.)   Let's Dive Deep Into The Protein Rules in Menopause   Muscle Mass Physical: Check if your body shape has changed, even if your weight stayed the same. Functional: Can you get off the chair without using the arms on the chair? Can you get up off the floor relatively easily? Do you find your walking speed has changed? Body Composition Scan: Many clinics will have a bioelectrical impedance analysis to look at muscle mass and body composition. Best to test the rate of chance over time (after x months, as prescribed by clinic). If you are seeing a reduction in speed, strength and power in any of your daily life activities or in the gym, then we can make an assumption that we are having some loss of muscle tissue.   Plant VS Animal Protein Have a well-balanced diet that includes plant-based protein. The addition of plant-based protein has additional health benefits which can improve our cardiovascular health.   Does Protein Timing Matter Just hit your daily protein with consistency. If 30 grams of protein per meal is difficult, you need to add one more meal. If post-workout protein helps you hit your protein target, continue. Your health journey gets more difficult if your protein timing starts to consume you and your time (e.g. spreadsheet, magnetic to your fridge, etc.).   Connect with Jordan: Instagram - @drjordannd   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?

He begins with an overview of bone mineral density, how it's measured, how it changes over the course of life, and the variability between sexes largely due to changes in estrogen levels. From there he provides insights into ways that one can improve bone health, from exercise to nutrition supplements to drugs. Additionally, Peter discusses what happens when one may be forced to be sedentary (e.g., bedrest) and how you can work to minimize the damage during these periods.
