Because no matter what dietary path you choose, whether it is fully raw, high raw, whole-food vegan, or simply a more plant-rich way of living, one thing is often overlooked: community matters. The people around us, the support we receive, and the examples we can lean on often make the difference between a short-term attempt and a lifestyle that actually feels sustainable. Chris and I speak about how to look at diet through the lens of nourishment rather than restriction. Is your diet giving you what you need? Is it energising you? Is it supporting your digestion, your mood, your movement, your joy? And where do supplements fit into that conversation — are they necessary, are they a “no-no,” or is the answer more nuanced? We also unpack some of the common misconceptions around the 80/10/10 diet, Dr Douglas Graham's work, and the idea that raw vegan or fruit-based eating is extreme, impossible, or lacking. We talk about what people often misunderstand, what needs to be done properly, and why education and support are so important. Most of all, this episode is about inspiration. It is not about telling everyone they must be fully raw. It is not about dietary perfection. It is about inviting more plants onto the plate, building confidence with vegan food, and helping people feel excited rather than overwhelmed by the possibility of eating in a way that is more aligned with health, compassion and vitality. So whether you are fully raw, high raw, vegan, plant-curious, or simply looking for more colour, freshness and life in your meals, this conversation with Chris Kendall will give you plenty to think about — and hopefully, plenty of encouragement to keep building your own supportive, nourishing plant-based path.

The Erics sit down with bone health expert Dr. Lora Giangregorio, a professor of kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, to unpack what's actually known about how bone adapts to resistance training. The conversation covers why bone changes so slowly, the many sources of measurement error in DEXA scans, and why so much of the exercise-and-bone literature is underpowered and hard to interpret. Dr. G makes a central practical case: for building bone, the message shouldn't be "lift heavy" but rather "work hard." Emphasizing high effort over intimidating absolute loads lowers the barrier to entry, especially for older and osteoporotic populations, while still driving progressive overload. She argues the best current bet is combining moderate-to-high-intensity resistance training with impact work, introduced gradually on a foundation of strength. Along the way she debunks popular but weakly supported interventions, including weighted vests and whole-body vibration platforms, and discusses the difference between biological aging and simple chronic inactivity in bone loss.

What does it really take to build a healthier life without getting lost in trends, misinformation, and quick fixes? In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with entrepreneur, author, and wellness expert Sam Tejada for a deep conversation about modern wellness, preventive health, and the discipline required to create lasting change.Sam shares his incredible journey from becoming a certified lifeguard at just 14 years old to serving as a firefighter and paramedic before launching Liquid Vita, a company focused on helping people take control of their health through data-driven care. Along the way, he explains how his experiences inside emergency medicine completely changed the way he viewed the healthcare system and why he became passionate about prevention instead of simply treating illness after it appears.Luis and Sam dive into the growing movement toward functional medicine, discussing why so many people are questioning traditional healthcare, how lifestyle choices affect long-term health, and why understanding your body is one of the greatest investments you can make. They also unpack the role of toxins, inflammation, nutrition, recovery, and exercise while separating solid information from the hype that often floods social media.The conversation doesn't stop at science. It becomes personal as Luis opens up about his own transformation after losing more than 120 pounds. He shares the mental battles that continue long after the weight comes off, including body dysmorphia, fear of slipping back into old habits, and the daily choice to stay disciplined. Sam offers practical advice for building healthy routines that become part of your identity instead of temporary resolutions.The episode also explores the growing interest in peptides, longevity medicine, biohacking, and advanced health testing. Sam explains how tools like DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, blood analysis, toxic load testing, and metabolic assessments can provide a clearer picture of overall health instead of relying on guesswork. He also discusses why personalized treatment plans often produce better long-term results than one-size-fits-all wellness trends.Throughout the conversation, both Luis and Sam emphasize that knowledge alone isn't enough. Real change comes from applying what you learn consistently, making better choices every day, and building habits that support the life you want to live. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, business owner, or simply someone looking to improve your health, this episode offers practical insights that extend far beyond fitness.In this episode, you'll hear about:Sam Tejada's journey from firefighter to entrepreneur and founder of Liquid VitaThe difference between reactive medicine and preventive healthcareWhy discipline outlasts motivation when building healthier habitsFunctional medicine, biohacking, peptides, and modern wellnessThe importance of DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, blood work, and personalized health dataNutrition, inflammation, toxins, recovery, and metabolic healthLuis Guzman's personal weight-loss journey and lessons learned after losing over 120 poundsBuilding a sustainable lifestyle instead of chasing short-term resultsIf you enjoyed this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, be sure to subscribe so you never miss a conversation with entrepreneurs, creatives, and industry leaders who share the real stories behind their success.

Bone health is one of those midlife topics that many women don't think about until a DEXA scan shows osteopenia or osteoporosis — and suddenly they're handed a prescription, told to take calcium, and left wondering, "Wait… is that it?" In this episode of Living Life Naturally, Lynne is joined by functional medicine nutritionist Cindy Dupuie for an eye-opening conversation about bone density, menopause, estrogen, DEXA scans, osteoporosis medications, and why women need to become stronger advocates for their own health. Cindy brings more than 20 years of experience in functional medicine, nutrition, digestion, thyroid health, lab work, and menopausal support. Together, Lynne and Cindy discuss why waiting until age 65 for a first DEXA scan may not be ideal for many women, especially because significant bone loss often occurs in the first decade after menopause. They also explore important risk factors for early bone loss, including family history, low body fat during key bone-building years, eating disorders, intense athletic activity, long-term steroid use, low vitamin D, and other pieces that are often overlooked. In This Episode: Lynne and Cindy talk about why bone density matters so much for long-term independence, mobility, and quality of life. They also discuss why Cindy recommends women consider getting a baseline DEXA scan earlier than the standard recommendation, especially if they have risk factors. You'll also hear about two important bone-turnover markers — CTX and P1NP — and how they may help provide a clearer picture of whether bone loss is being driven more by breakdown or lack of formation. Cindy shares why resistance training, muscle maintenance, and certain types of movement can be so important for bone strength. Lynne and Cindy also discuss estrogen's role in bone protection, why the Women's Health Initiative study created lasting confusion around hormone therapy, and why individualized conversations with a knowledgeable provider matter. This episode also includes an honest conversation about osteoporosis medications, including bisphosphonates, how they work, why they're commonly prescribed, and why women may want to ask informed questions about risks, benefits, duration of use, and monitoring before making decisions. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that you deserve more than rushed answers. You deserve to understand your options, ask better questions, and participate fully in decisions about your bone health, hormones, and future mobility.

Drew and Alex break it down — what changed, what was lost, who's affected, and why some very fit people are about to have a very bad time.What we get into:Waist-to-height ratio is now the only authorized standard. Height-weight screening tables are gone. Secondary methods like DEXA, BodPod, and InBody are gone. The AFT fitness exemption is gone. If your waist divided by your height is 0.55 or above, you are out of compliance. Everyone. No exceptions.Why the research actually supports waist-to-height ratio — as a population-level screening tool, not an individual-level diagnostic. The same literature that backs it up also says it should trigger further assessment, not be the final word.The fitness exemption was one of the most progressive things the Army had ever done on body composition. If you performed above a certain threshold, your body composition didn't matter. That's gone now.Commander's discretion replaces the old progression model. No more monthly measurements, no more defined progression requirements. Whether you're making progress and how long you stay enrolled is entirely up to your chain of command.Who's getting tripped up: postpartum women, shorter stockier men with wide torsos, and apparently some serious competitive athletes in very military-relevant sports.Alex's hot take: this feels like malicious compliance by the Army. They spent years and serious money on the Army Comprehensive Body Composition Study. This directive undoes a lot of that work with a two-page memo.No separations will be completed for 180 days while the Army conducts an assessment. Drew and Alex are collecting stories — if this new standard is catching fit soldiers, they want to hear from you.Mentioned in this episode:Secretary Hegseth memo — Military Fitness Standards, September 30 2025 → https://api.army.mil/e2/c/downloads/2025/09/30/9c939542/military-fitness-standards-osd010715-25-fod-final.pdfUnder Secretary memo — Additional Guidance on Military Fitness Standards, December 18 2025 → https://media.defense.gov/2026/Jan/12/2003855613/-1/-1/1/ADDITIONAL-GUIDANCE-ON-MILITARY-FITNESS-STANDARDS.PDFArmy Directive 2026-13 — Army Body Composition Program → https://home.army.mil/carson/8117/8345/8209/ARMY_DIR_2026-13_ABCP.pdfArmy DVIDS video — Army Updates Body Composition Program → https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1013878/army-updates-body-composition-program-abcpLong and Strong / Workhorse — the Mops and Moes training program on TrainHeroic → https://marketplace.trainheroic.com/workout-plan/team/leg-tuck-nation

Her journey into raw veganism began over 22 years ago following a series of serious health challenges while living abroad. After exploring conventional and alternative approaches to healing, she discovered the power of raw, plant-based nutrition—a path that transformed not only her physical health but also her relationship with food, nature, and herself. Having lived in Japan, the United States, the Bahamas, Costa Rica, and France, Kiko brings a global perspective to wellness while remaining deeply rooted in Japanese values and culture. She is passionate about creating simple, beautiful, and nourishing recipes using whole, unprocessed ingredients that make healthy living enjoyable and accessible. A former business and personal coach, Kiko stepped away from coaching with a promise to herself: she would return only after creating the kind of life she had always dreamed of. Today, she is living that dream and is passionate about helping others create lives filled with health, purpose, joy, and a deeper connection to nature. Through her YouTube channel, podcast, writing, and café, Kiko shares practical insights on raw vegan living, longevity, mindful eating, and holistic well-being. She is the author of Namadō – My Raw Vegan Journey, which combines her personal story, practical guidance, and 10 signature recipes, and Namadō II – Raw Journey Through Ups and Downs, a more intimate reflection on the challenges, lessons, and practical wisdom she has gained over more than two decades of living the raw vegan lifestyle. Kiko believes that food is a way of reconnecting with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. Her mission is to help others discover that a healthier, more joyful, and more peaceful life is possible.   IG: https://www.instagram.com/namadokiko/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@namadokiko Website: https://nama.ovh/ Women's health + holistic living for everyoneWhere wellness meets real lifeFollow, rate & share to support the show

The Ultimate Health Assessment: 400 Biomarkers That Could Save Your Life www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Dr. Clint Phillips - MediciMedici Website:Personal Website: Instagram: @medicihealthDr. Gabi AppIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams sits down with Dr. Clint Phillips, founder of Medici Health, to discuss the future of personalized medicine, AI-driven health optimization, peptides, and preventative healthcare.Dr. Phillips shares his deeply personal journey into longevity science, explaining how losing multiple family members at a young age inspired him to dedicate his career to helping people live longer, healthier lives. After building a successful chiropractic and rehabilitation practice in Aspen, Colorado, and later co-founding a medical second-opinion company following his daughter's stroke, he launched Medici Health with one mission: prevent disease before it starts.The conversation dives into Medici's comprehensive annual health assessment, which collects over 400 health data points through advanced blood testing, DNA analysis, DEXA scans, vascular imaging, skin AI analysis, cancer screening, balance testing, and more. Rather than treating disease after it develops, Medici focuses on identifying each person's unique risk factors and creating highly personalized strategies based on genetics, biomarkers, and lifestyle.Brad and Dr. Phillips discuss why personalized medicine is replacing the "one-size-fits-all" approach to health, highlighting examples where simple lifestyle changes—guided by genetic testing—can dramatically reduce disease risk. They also explore the growing role of artificial intelligence in healthcare, including Medici's AI assistant, Dr. Gabby, which helps users interpret health data, evaluate supplements, scan food products, and even estimate cardiovascular risk using only a smartphone camera.The discussion also covers the rapidly growing field of peptides. Dr. Phillips explains why peptides show tremendous promise for longevity and recovery but emphasizes that they should always be paired with proper laboratory monitoring rather than taken blindly. Brad agrees that objective testing is essential since feeling better doesn't always mean your body is responding positively.Throughout the interview, both emphasize that true health isn't simply avoiding illness—it's building resilience through exercise, nutrition, preventative testing, personalized care, and consistent habits. Dr. Phillips also praises personal trainers as some of the most influential professionals in preventive healthcare, reinforcing Brad's philosophy that fitness coaching remains one of the best investments people over 40 can make.Whether you're interested in biohacking, longevity, AI-powered healthcare, preventative medicine, or simply maximizing your healthspan, this episode provides an insightful look at where the future of healthcare is heading and how personalized data may soon replace generic health advice.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzVDisclaimer: The information provided on this podcast, including interviews and recommendations, is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Episode Description: Social media has convinced women that they need to lower their cortisol to lose belly fat, sync their workouts to their menstrual cycle, eat differently depending on their cycle phase, avoid heavy lifting to stay lean, and take a stack of longevity supplements to live longer. Dr. Mary Pardee is here to call most of that what it is. Dr. Mary is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor, one of Dr. G's closest friends, and one of the most evidence-based voices in the wellness space. This is her third time on Heal Thy Self and she is not holding back. From LDL cholesterol to VO2 max to the Mediterranean diet to cold plunge, she is cutting through the noise and giving women the clearest, most direct framework for actually living longer. In this episode, you'll discover:  •  Why LDL cholesterol is causative for heart disease the way smoking is causative for lung cancer, what numbers to actually target at different life stages, and why plaque formation begins in your 20s  •  The truth about cycle syncing workouts and food, why it is a marketing tactic designed to confuse a vulnerable population into buying something, and what the research actually says about training through your cycle  •  How to structure protein intake for muscle building, the exact grams per kilogram targets for different goals, and why women are still chronically under eating protein even in 2026 Plus the labs every woman should be running, what a DEXA scan actually reveals about body composition, and why cold plunge has no longevity evidence behind it while sauna does.

If you have cut out sugar, increased your daily steps, prioritized sleep, and skipped the wine yet the scale hasn't budged in months this episode is for you. Your discipline isn't the problem; the metabolic math your body is running during perimenopause is. We break down how fluctuating estrogen levels alter your insulin sensitivity at a cellular level, causing your body to store fat and stubbornly hold onto it. We also dive into the truth about GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide and tirzepatide), the critical lab work your doctor might be missing, and the significant muscle and bone density trade-offs that rarely get mentioned. In This Episode, You Will Learn: How erratic hormonal shifts during perimenopause directly cause your body to hold onto blood sugar longer and store fat around your midsection. Why rapid weight loss on these medications can lead to significant lean muscle loss (up to 11% to 40% of total loss), creating a "perfect storm" for bone density decline. How cortisol dysregulation, underperforming thyroid function, nutrient depletions, and estrogen swings are often the true culprits behind insulin resistance. The exact list of comprehensive labs to request—including fasting insulin, a full thyroid panel, a diurnal cortisol test, and a baseline DEXA scan—so you can stop guessing and start treating the root cause.   Take the Why Am I So Tired assessment at whyamisotired.hopenaturalhealth.com   For more on Dr. Erin: Join The Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Work with Dr. Erin here: https://p.bttr.to/3E88ps4 Buy Dr. Erin's Supplements here: https://drerinellis.com/shop Get the Period Productivity Planner here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBYBRT5Q?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Download the FREE Menstrual Cycle Nutrition Guide here: https://detox.drerinellis.com/ Watch The Free Video "7 Hormones Affecting Your Weight Loss Goals" here: https://weightloss.drerinellis.com/ Let's Be Friends: Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.erinellis/ Follow Dr. Erin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drerinellisnmd Follow Dr. Erin on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.erinellis?lang=en Join the Free Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Bookmark Dr. Erin's Website: www.drerinellis.com Subscribe to Hope Natural Health on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHYVmNEu5tKu91EATHhEiA Follow Hope Natural Health on FB: https://www.facebook.com/hopenaturalhealth Sign up for Newsletters here: https://booking.hopenaturalhealth.com/widget/form/VUubL7MNYELduwQL8ssI

In this episode, Doug Larson, Dr. Mike Lane, and Coach Travis Mash break down the real-world science of training for aesthetics: getting leaner, building muscle, and looking better without losing sight of performance, health, and longevity. Mike opens with a wild DEXA scan story about breast implants and body composition testing, explaining how implants can skew lean mass and bone density numbers. The takeaway is simple: body composition tools are useful, but only when you understand what they are actually measuring. The crew then moves into the big rocks of physique change: nutrition, training volume, cardio, consistency, and choosing a style of training you can actually sustain. Travis shares how endurance work, reduced alcohol, better hydration, and family-wide nutrition habits helped him get leaner, while Doug and Mike explain why diet is usually the fastest lever for fat loss and lifting is the signal that helps preserve or build muscle. Whether you love bodybuilding, powerlifting, CrossFit, martial arts, climbing, or just want to look good and feel capable, the message is clear: train most days, eat mostly whole foods, and build habits you can repeat for years.

“There's nothing like data to be a motivator.” - Dr. Noor Al-HumaidhiOne of the biggest challenges in perimenopause care is trying to prevent problems that haven't happened yet. By the time someone experiences a fracture, significant muscle loss, or metabolic disease, changes have often been developing quietly for years. As practitioners, we have an opportunity to shift outcomes and our clients' timelines by looking for early signs that the body needs more support.This model of care looks at the whole person - sleep, nutrition, strength training, mental health, metabolic health, pelvic floor function, and hormone therapy - and how each element influences the others. When we stop treating symptoms in isolation and start connecting the pieces, we can help women not only feel better during perimenopause but also stay healthier for decades to come.In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Noor Al-Humaidhi, family physician and founder of Lifestyles by Noor, to talk about why integrative perimenopause and menopause care is the future of women's health. Dr. Noor shares how her experience with perimenopause changed the direction of her career, what it looks like to combine hormone therapy with nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and coaching, why DEXA scans should become a routine part of midlife care, the overlooked impact of muscle loss and declining bone density, cognitive and mental health symptoms in perimenopause, caring for women with complex chronic illness, why individualized hormone therapy deserves a much more nuanced conversation than it often receives, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/get-a-dexa-scan-why-building-integrative-perimenopause-and-menopause-care-is-the-future-of-womens-healthcare/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

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 the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists—including drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound—with a particular focus on their impact on muscle. He examines how much lean mass people actually lose during treatment and how those changes compare to weight loss achieved through other methods, while explaining why measurements of lean mass on DEXA scans can sometimes be misleading. Peter discusses the effects of these medications on bone mass, fracture risk, strength, and physical function, highlighting why functional outcomes may be more important than body composition metrics alone. He also explores how GLP-1–based therapies affect different fat depots throughout the body, identifies who may be most vulnerable to muscle loss, and outlines practical strategies for preserving muscle and bone health while using these medications. Finally, Peter reviews early insights into retatrutide, a next-generation weight-loss therapy, including what current evidence suggests about its effects on weight loss and muscle mass.

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

I'm joined by Doug Lucas for a rapid-fire myth-busting conversation about what women need to know about bone health, osteoporosis, fracture risk, and aging powerfully. Doug explains why calcium alone is not the answer, why walking is not enough to rebuild bone, and why a normal DEXA scan does not always mean you are safe. Most importantly, we talk about why bone loss is not something you simply have to accept and how the right lifestyle strategy can help you protect your strength, independence, and longevity. (00:00) Why calcium alone may not prevent fractures and can come with potential heart-health concerns. (00:33) Why walking may slow bone loss but is not enough to reverse osteoporosis. (01:07) Why osteoporosis risk is not limited to thin elderly women and can affect a much wider range of people. (01:55) Why GLP-1s are not necessarily the direct cause of bone loss, but severe calorie restriction and low protein intake can be a concern. (02:39) Why a normal DEXA scan does not automatically mean you are safe from fragility fractures. (03:59) How family history, previous fractures, and other risk factors can reveal a higher risk for future fractures. (05:38) Why osteoporosis medications can be useful in some cases but may not be the only or best first option for everyone. (07:39) Why Doug believes bone loss can be reversed when the underlying causes are addressed and lifestyle changes are sustained.

Did you know after menopause, many women lose around 1% to 2% of bone density per year for several years, and some lose more? And it accelerates during the menopause transition, with the fastest loss typically beginning around a year before that final menstrual period.   Most women don't find out until they already have an osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosis.. Or maybe you've been told your bones are just "a little low" but nobody actually explained what to do about it? We cover: Why walking and calcium supplements alone are not enough, and what actually moves the needle on bone density The difference between bone density and bone quality, and why your DEXA scan is only telling part of the story The specific types of exercise that stimulate bone formation at the hip and spine, and which popular ones don't do what you think How menopausal hormone therapy fits into the bone health picture, and can you improve bone health without HRT? What women with osteoporosis, joint pain, or a hip replacement can still safely do to build stronger bones Jocelyn Wittstein is an Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Duke University Medical School.  Dr. Wittstein's research includes disorders of the shoulder, knee, and elbow, rotator cuff repair outcomes, biceps tendon disorders, patellofemoral instability, ACL injury including mechanism of injury and post traumatic arthritis, and meniscus healing. She also collaborates extensively with Duke Women's Health on the study of the intersection of musculoskeletal health and menopause including adhesive capsulitis, arthritis, and bone health. She currently serves as the medical director for the COORDS program (Clinical Outcome in Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation System) at Duke orthopaedics.   Dr. Wittstein is the chair of the membership committee of AOSSM as well as a member of the education committee for AANA. She also serves as the current president of The Forum: Women in Sports Medicine.    Book - The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781682689417   Contact Jocelyn Whittstein: Website: https://www.dukehealth.org/find-doctors-physicians/jocelyn-ross-wittstein-md Instagram: @jocelyn_wittstein_md   Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here - https://vitaliskincare.com Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://www.oxfordhealthspan.com/ZORA Get Mitopure Urolithin A by Timeline. 20% discount with code ZORA at https://timeline.com/zora Try MitoQ for optimal mitochondrial health.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-11-2026: Dr. Dawn discusses fascia — the gelatinous network of sugary proteins, salts, and collagen bundles that has been known to acupuncturists and osteopaths for millennia but ignored in conventional medical training. New confocal laser endomicroscopy technology has finally visualized this "interstitium" as a fluid-filled space draining to lymph nodes, present throughout the GI tract, urinary bladder, dermis, and peribronchial tissues. The structure may play roles in cancer metastasis, edema, fibrosis, and mechanical tissue function. An emailer asks about elevated organic arsenic levels (from sardines) and ultra-filtered dairy. Dr. Dawn explains that arsenobetaine—the protein-bonded form found in fish, is harmless and passes through the body, while inorganic and methylated arsenic accumulate in bone and collagen-rich tissues. In a second question about the safety of ultrafiltered dairy, she notes ultra-filtered products may carry more microplastics from extensive plastic filters and tubing exposure, with aged cheese being particularly concentrated since water removal increases plastic density. An emailer asks about breast MRI contrast options. Dr. Dawn explains that breast MRI requires gadolinium contrast because tumors leak through their poorly-formed blood vessels, creating necessary visual contrast. She strongly recommends macrocyclic gadolinium (a stable birdcage structure) over the linear form, which slips into bones, skin, the brain's caudate nucleus, liver, and spleen for at least eight years and rarely, can cause nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. There is some suggestion it may trigger brain inflammation. She suggests listing linear gadolinium as a drug sensitivity in medical charts. Researchers harvested exosomes from semen. The exosomes evolved to help sperm penetrate egg barriers, making them ideal delivery vehicles for drugs too toxic for traditional administration. These bubble-like vesicles can penetrate the eye to distribute a manganese dioxide nanozyme compound (CMG) across ocular barriers to treat retinoblastoma, a childhood eye cancer typically requiring eyeball removal. Researchers used extracellular vesicles (effectively artificial exosomes) delivered via nasal spray to reverse brain aging in mice. The vesicles carried messenger RNA targeting the NLRP2 inflammasome, restoring mitochondrial activity in neurons and improving memory and recognition in treated animals. The nasal delivery route bypasses the blood-brain barrier, opening possibilities for treating cognitive deterioration without injections or surgical implants. An emailer reports his wife two inches shorter at a new Kaiser facility in another state. Dr. Dawn first considers measurement inconsistency (shoes on or off), then suggests evaluating for compression fractures, disc disease, and parathyroid tumors. She recommends a bone scan, C-terminal telopeptide testing to assess active bone breakdown, and intact PTH to rule out parathyroid pathology if osteoporosis is identified by DEXA scan. Dr. Dawn explores a new brain model addressing how 86 billion neurons store more memory than classical models predict. Astrocytes, previously known mainly for creating myelin sheaths, form tripartite synapses with neurons connecting to thousands of synapses simultaneously, communicating via calcium signaling and gliotransmitters. This could provide the higher-order coupling needed for our dense associative memory that pairwise synaptic connections cannot explain. Disrupting astrocyte-neuron connections in the hippocampus impairs both memory storage and retrieval, supporting this theoretical model. A Nature Neuroscience study found abdominal muscle contractions compress blood vessels connected to the brain and spine via the vertebral venous plexus, physically rocking the brain within the skull. This mechanical swishing may explain how exercise helps clear brain toxins and prevent neurodegenerative disorders, potentially leading to inflatable abdominal devices that could aid brain cleansing during sleep. Montelukast, the common asthma and allergy drug, has been found to block a protein hijacked by triple-negative breast cancer that converts immune cells into "sleeper agents" that clear paths for tumor invasion rather than attacking cancer. Dr. Dawn notes AI is increasingly identifying these drug repurposing opportunities by analyzing molecular shapes and receptor compatibility.

In this eye-opening conversation, Debi Robinson and Dr. John Neustadt expose a fundamental flaw in how we approach bone health: we've been focusing on bone density instead of actual fracture risk.Drawing from 20+ years of research and clinical practice, Dr. Neustadt reveals that only four nutrients have been proven in clinical trials to reduce fractures—calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 (MK-4 specifically), and magnesium. He challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to supplementation and explains why popular supplements like MK-7 and strontium fall short of their marketing claims.The episode deep-dives into why bone density tests are poor predictors of fracture risk, how supplement companies mislead consumers with marketing claims that don't align with clinical data, and the critical role of gut health, sleep, hormones, and lifestyle in fracture prevention.Most importantly, Debi and Dr. Neustadt provide actionable, evidence-based strategies that women can implement immediately to actually protect their bones—without fear-based messaging.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN✓ Why bone density scores are not reliable predictors of fracture risk✓ The 4 nutrients with clinical trial evidence for fracture reduction (and the doses that actually work)✓ Why MK-7 vitamin K2 doesn't improve bone strength (and why MK-4 does)✓ How to assess YOUR individual calcium needs (most women are over-supplementing)✓ The vitamin D target range for optimal fracture protection✓ Why strontium supplements mislead consumers (and the hidden risks)✓ The role of melatonin receptors in bone health and sleep deprivation's link to fractures✓ How gut health directly impacts bone strength✓ The importance of serotonin, melatonin, and the gut-bone axis✓ HRT and testosterone replacement as part of a comprehensive bone health strategy✓ How to evaluate supplement companies and ensure they have fracture outcome data✓ Red flags when choosing bone health supplements✓ The gap between conventional medicine's approach (DEXA + medication) and integrative bone health✓ Why doctors are confused about osteoporosis (and how to advocate for yourself)ACTION STEPSGet your vitamin D tested. Aim for 30–44 ng/mL for optimal fracture protection (different from immune health recommendations).Assess your dietary calcium intake before adding supplements. If you're eating well, you may only need 400 mg as a supplement, not the standard 1,200 mg recommendation.Switch MK-7 supplements to MK-4. If you're taking a vitamin K2 supplement, verify it's MK-4 at 45 mg per day in divided doses. MK-7 doesn't reduce fractures.Check your supplement labels for strontium. If it's there, especially if the company markets it as "proven to improve bone density," consider switching to a formula without it.Prioritize gut health. Work with a practitioner to run stool tests if you have bloating, constipation, postnasal drip, or other GI symptoms. Gut inflammation accelerates bone loss.Track your sleep quality. Sleep deprivation is linked to 17% of fractures. If you're sleeping less than 6 hours nightly, prioritize this.Ask supplement companies the right questions:"Do you have fracture outcome data from clinical trials?""Will you provide a certificate of analysis showing purity and potency?""What guarantee do you offer?"Evaluate your medications. Check with your doctor: Are any of your current prescriptions contributing to bone loss? (SSRIs, certain blood pressure meds, proton pump inhibitors, corticosteroids, etc.)Consider HRT or bioidentical hormone replacement, especially if you're post-menopausal. Research shows a 40% reduction in osteoporotic fracture risk with appropriate hormone therapy.Build lifestyle foundations: Prioritize whole-food nutrition, strength training, stress management, and community connection. Oxytocin (released through physical contact) supports bone health.RESOURCES & LINKSDr. John Neustadt's Website: nbihealth.com and book Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to OsteoporosisDebi's website: https://debirobinson.comHealthy Gut Healty Bones Program: https://debirobinson.com/healthy-gut-healthy-bones-program-v2/Join the Community: https://debirobinson.com/the-stronger-bones-lifestyle-community/Yoga Therapy MasterClass: https://debirobinson.com/yoga-therapy-for-bones-health-mc/28-Day Stronger Bones Method: https://debirobinson.com/28-day-stronger-bonesmorning-method/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debirobinsonwellness/Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@debirobinsonwellness/DEBI'S TAKEAWAY"Fracture-proofing your bones isn't about chasing a higher DEXA score. It's about building the internal biochemical balance that actually prevents fractures. You have the research, you have the tools, and you have the power to take control of your bone health naturally. Use that power."

You already know what to do. You know you should lift, you know you should walk, you know protein matters. The information was never the problem. So why do you keep falling off the second life gets busy, and why does it feel like the only thing standing between you and consistency is more discipline you cannot seem to build? Here is the truth most women never hear: it was never just about discipline. I sat down with Jordan Syatt, strength and nutrition coach to Gary Vaynerchuk and a five time world record powerlifter, to talk about the real reason women cannot stay consistent, and it comes down to a "perfectionism" trap that quietly gives you permission to quit every time you fall short. We also get into why walking is one of the most underrated things you can do for your body, the blood markers that tell you more about your health than the scale ever will, and his honest take on motivation, GLP-1s, and what it actually takes to stop starting over.If you're tired of starting over and finally want to build a sustainable road to fitness that'll snowball to consistency and habits, this episode is for you.  What's Discussed: (01:06) Why a short calorie tracking window can change how you eat. (07:29) Why walking is the most underrated thing you can do for your long term health. (13:05) Why your blood work tells you more about your health than the scale. (17:25) The DEXA scan problem and why body fat numbers do more harm than good. (23:51) Renaming "maintenance" to "momentum" and why holding your results is its own skill. (29:13) The "perfectionism" trap and why it is the real reason you cannot stay consistent. (32:24) Motivation versus discipline and why you actually need both.  (40:07) The truth about GLP-1s beyond weight loss.

Una densitometría ósea, también conocida como prueba DEXA, DXA o prueba de densidad ósea, es una radiografía de dosis baja que mide el calcio y otros minerales en los huesos.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-04-2026: A caller with previously normal platelets now bouncing between 40-60 asks whether to accept her doctor's recommendation of high-dose dexamethasone. Dr. Dawn suggests checking homocysteine and methylmalonic acid for hidden B12 issues, getting an ultrasound to rule out splenic sequestration, and confirming actual autoimmune antibody testing before committing to steroids. Researchers invented a fake disease called "Bixonimania" (periorbital hyperpigmentation supposedly caused by blue light) with obvious tells including a fictional Asteria Horizon University and Starfleet Academy acknowledgment. By 2026, AI chatbots were routinely describing it as real, and three Indian researchers even cited the fake preprint in a peer-reviewed paper that was subsequently retracted. A 75-year-old caller asks about intermittent fasting patterns. Dr. Dawn advises against fasting longer than 24 hours after age 75 due to muscle catabolism, and recommends time-restricted eating instead—starting with protein at 10am to prevent muscle breakdown. For rebuilding lost muscle she prescribes resistance bands, 30g protein including 5g branched-chain amino acids before exercise, and total daily protein matching one's age in grams. A male caller with a T-score of -4.0 on DEXA (diagnostic of severe osteoporosis) asks about pulsed electromagnetic frequency therapy for his hip. Dr. Dawn explains bone's piezoelectric properties mean that compression and electrical stimulation both activate osteoblasts. She recommends checking parathyroid hormone (tumors cause silent calcium loss), notes that vitamin D above 10,000 IU daily can paradoxically activate osteoclasts and worsen osteoporosis. She discusses how decades of proton pump inhibitor use cause achlorhydria leading to both B12 deficiency (elevated MCV) and calcium malabsorption. The same caller asks whether AI has genuine empathy after seeing Claude express regret about military use, and Dr. Dawn explains AI is a statistical mirror — the illusion of empathy from frequency-based word selection trained on human text, not genuine feeling. Daraxonrasib, an oral monoclonal drug from Revolution Medicines, doubled survival time in metastatic pancreatic cancer trials from 7 to 13 months, prompting FDA expanded access. Dr. Dawn explains KRAS—the long-elusive target with no binding pockets—was finally tackled using Gregory Verdine's "molecular glue" approach, where small molecules first attach to bystander proteins to create complexes capable of binding KRAS. A high school in San Francisco has seen seven active and 241 latent TB cases since November 2025, with 18% of the school community infected. Dr. Dawn notes California reached a 12-year high of 2,150 TB cases in 2025, and connects the unusually high latent-infection rate to recent Medi-Cal cuts and immigration-related healthcare avoidance. She argues healthcare access for vulnerable populations is a practical disease-prevention measure.

I've spent a lot of this AI series talking about business, workflows, automation, offers, and all the ways AI can help you work smarter. But over the last few weeks, I've noticed something else happening.AI has quietly started becoming part of how I actually live.Not in some futuristic robot assistant kind of way. More in these surprisingly practical, everyday moments where it's helping me make better decisions, reduce friction, stay more intentional, and honestly just feel more supported in the way I run my life.And the more I've experimented with it, the more I've realized this: most people are still thinking about AI as a work tool. Something you open when you need help writing content or brainstorming ideas.But the real shift happens when you start using it as a life operating system.That's what this episode is about.I'm sharing three very personal ways I've been using AI recently: how we used it to navigate our move to Bali, how it became my HYROX training partner and race strategist, and how I built my own macro tracker to finally understand what my body actually needs in this season of life.And weirdly?

In this episode, Doug Larson, Dr. Mike Lane, and Coach Travis Mash break down athlete monitoring, readiness testing, and how coaches can use simple data to make better training decisions. Travis explains how his master's thesis used daily depth jumps, subjective questionnaires, and warm-up performance to track fatigue and readiness in weightlifters. The big lesson: testing only works when you minimize variables, collect enough data to understand normal fluctuations, and know the athlete behind the numbers. The team discusses why reactive strength index, vertical jumps, drop jumps, and counter movement jumps can reveal useful trends in central nervous system readiness, but only when paired with honest communication and smart coaching judgment. The conversation expands into how to adjust training when performance drops, why a 10% decrease may mean it is time to send an athlete home, and why volume is often the first lever to pull before reducing intensity. They also explore broader performance monitoring for everyday athletes, including deadlift strength, pull-ups, mile or mile-and-a-half run times, mobility screens, DEXA scans, VO2 max testing, bloodwork, blood pressure, wearables, and input tracking. Whether you are a coach, lifter, athlete, or performance-minded adult trying to stay strong and healthy over decades, this episode gives you a practical framework for measuring what matters, spotting problems early, and using data to guide better decisions without losing the human side of coaching.
