Podcast appearances and mentions of john neustadt

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."

If you have autoimmune disease, you've probably been told to keep an eye on your bone density number. But here's the thing — that number only predicts fractures in about 44% of women with osteoporosis. Most of what's actually driving your fracture risk isn't showing up on that scan. I brought Dr. John Neustadt back to talk about his newly expanded book, Fracture-Proof Your Bones, and this conversation goes well beyond what we covered last time. We get into how gut inflammation — the kind that comes with autoimmunity, leaky gut, Crohn's, or celiac — directly triggers bone loss through inflammatory cytokines that activate the cells that break down bone. We also talk about the medications most doctors aren't warning you about (SSRIs, prednisone, PPIs) and how they're silently destroying bone tissue. Plus: what your diet is actually doing to your skeleton, a simple 10-second balance test that predicts fracture risk better than a bone scan, the surprising link between oxytocin and your osteoblasts, and which routine labs to ask for that most people never get. People with autoimmune disease face a 200–400% increased fracture risk. That's the reality — but there's a lot you can do about it.

This week, Tee sits down with John Neustadt, ND, a Bastyr University graduate, internationally recognized expert in integrative and functional medicine, and #1 Amazon best-selling author of Fracture-Proof Your Bones (2nd Edition). As founder of Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc., John has published over 100 medical articles and is among the most cited researchers in the world for his work on osteoporosis and fracture prevention. In this episode, he shares why his mission is to shift the conversation from simply improving bone density scores to actually reducing real-world fracture risk. In the conversation, John explains why bone density alone is an incomplete measure of bone health, sharing a powerful personal story of a hip fracture that occurred despite improved scan results. He breaks down the broader factors that influence fracture risk, including chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, medication use, and lifestyle habits. The discussion also highlights gaps in conventional care, where limited time and training can leave patients without a full understanding of what truly drives bone strength and resilience. In addition, John offers practical, research-driven strategies to help listeners take a more comprehensive approach to bone health. He emphasizes the importance of a Mediterranean-style diet, adequate protein intake, minimizing ultra-processed foods, and identifying medications—such as proton pump inhibitors—that may impair digestion, nutrient absorption, and microbiome balance. He also discusses signs of gut dysfunction, potential testing options, and supportive interventions like whole foods, time-restricted eating, and targeted supplementation. This episode provides clear, actionable insights for both individuals and clinicians looking to build stronger bones and reduce fracture risk through a more holistic, informed approach.   Connect with John:  Website Book  LinkedIn  Facebook  YouTube   Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Austin Air Purifiers: For podcast listeners, take 15% off any Austin Air product; please email Tee@thegreenlivinggurus.com and mention that you want to buy a product and would like the discount.

#197 - How to Reverse Bone Loss Naturally — With 4 Clinically Proven Nutrients to Prevent Fractures. Interview with Dr. John Neustadt   Why Calcium Isn't the Answer to Strong Bones (and What Actually Is) — with Dr. John Neustadt If you've ever been told, “Just take calcium for your bones,” this episode is going to blow your mind. Lisa sits down with Dr. John Neustadt, naturopathic doctor, bestselling author of Fracture-Proof Your Bones, and founder of NBI Health, to uncover what really causes — and reverses — osteoporosis. It turns out, bone health isn't just about bone density. And the scary truth? The standard “treatments” may actually make bones more brittle. From medication-induced bone loss to how to choose supplements that actually work (and aren't a waste of money), Dr. Neustadt breaks down the science in a way that's refreshingly clear — and shockingly empowering. You'll learn:

Join Ray Solano and Dr. John Neustadt on Healthy Choices as they explore why fracture prevention—not DEXA scores—should guide osteoporosis care, and how protein, hormones, and clinical-trial-backed nutrients strengthen bones. ---- www.linkedin.com/in/ray-solano-76960463 www.instagram.com/pdlabs/ open.spotify.com/show/78tLVSbC28VnDbpw2SqiEg podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal…es/id1203354304 www.iheart.com/podcast/256-healt…choices-31040306/ ---- PODCAST Thank you for listening.

Digging In On Health Impacts of Cortisol Levels, Stress, and Adrenal Fatigue:Your host, Scott Mulvaney and today's guest co-host Dr. John Neustadt discuss the importance of balancing health, business, and lifestyle. Dr. Neustadt, an expert in integrative medicine, emphasizes the impact of chronic stress on health, particularly cortisol's role in bone loss and gut health. He advocates for personal responsibility in health, highlighting the inadequacy of traditional medical approaches. They discuss the benefits of whole foods, protein intake, and the pitfalls of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Neustadt's company, NBI Health, focuses on high-quality supplements, particularly Vitamin K2 (MK-4) for bone health, which has shown to reduce fractures by over 70%. They stress the importance of reading labels and understanding bioavailability. The discussion focused on the differences between MK-4 and MK-7 forms of vitamin K2, highlighting that MK-4 has been clinically proven to stop and reverse bone loss, while MK-7 only slows down bone loss and may even increase it. Scott Mulvaney emphasized the importance of consumer education and informed decision-making. John Neustadt discussed the significance of clinical trials and the need for transparency in supplement marketing. They also touched on the benefits of vitamin C, the importance of genetic testing, and the role of dietary supplements in stress management and overall health. Neustadt shared his commitment to reducing fracture risk and improving bone health through evidence-based products and pro bono consulting.Quote: "Cut through the confusion of alternative medicine's promises, conventional medicine's failures, fad diets and dietary supplement hype to help you get empowered, get energized and unlock your full health potential."

Were you told to "wait and see" after a DEXA bone screening or have you ever felt confused about what your T-score actually means, then this episode is for you? Today I am joined by two of the most respected bone health experts in the world, Dr. John Neustadt and Dr. Doug Lucas, to clear up the most misunderstood parts of bone loss in midlife. We cover How and why women in menopause should get bone density testing and how to actually understand what this means. Does estrogen really protect bones? Why are people having fractures despite good bone density scores without osteoporosis and vice versa. What are alternative screenings and how they compare to DEXA The downsides of bone screening and how to approach your bone health no matter if you have osteoporosis or not What the research supports for improving bone density and what supplements we may need to consider. We talk about the more important form of vitamin K and strontium What we need to know about that scary 30% of people die within a year of a hip fracture stat And so much more Dr. Doug Lucas I already mentioned that Dr. Doug Lucas is a leading expert in osteoporosis and longevity medicine. He really is. He is a double board-certified physician and founder of The OsteoCollective.

Osteoporosis is not a life sentence, and conventional medicine isn't your only option. We've spoken in past episodes about how he left his career as an orthopedic surgeon after became so frustrated with a system that just waited until bones were broken before taking action. Now, he's on a mission to teach people how to take control of their health before disease sets in. He is such an incredible speaker and really delivers clear message that is relatable, and gives science-backed insights that we all can understand and act on.    Dr. John Neustadt John Neustadt, ND, He is the Founder and President of the dietary supplement company Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc.

Research has shown that diets high in ultraprocessed foods are linked to more than 30 health conditions, according to an umbrella review of meta-analyses that was published in The British Medical Journal. Meanwhile, more exposure to ultraprocessed foods was associated with a higher risk of dying from any cause. Ultraprocessed foods now account for nearly 60% of U.S. adults' calorie consumption. Among American children, that portion is close to 70%. In other words, ultra-processed food is starting to overwhelm the American diet. On this episode of the GW Integrative Medicine podcast, John Neustadt, ND, gives a lecture on “Ultra-Processed Foods: Health Implications and How to Talk to Patients.” Dr. Neustadt has been recognized by the world's largest medical publisher, Elsevier, as one of the Top 10 Cited Authors in the world for his work.

Fracture risk reduction should be the primary focus in treating osteoporosis. Hormone replacement therapy can effectively maintain and improve bone density in postmenopausal women. Proper nutrition, digestion, and inflammation management are crucial for bone health. MK4, a form of vitamin K2, has been shown to improve bone density and reduce fractures, while MK7 has not. While magnesium is important for overall health, there is limited evidence to support its role in reducing fractures. Exercise, including resistance training and functional exercises, can help improve bone health and reduce fracture risk.  

Today I'm excited to introduce you to my friend and colleague Dr. John Neustadt, a naturopathic doctor and graduate of Bastyr University. He's an expert in bone health and prevention of osteoporosis, as well as a researcher, speaker, and author of the book "Fracture Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis." While we often think of osteoporosis as primarily affecting women during perimenopause and post-menopause, it's important to note that about 80% of osteoporosis cases are in women and 20% in men. Like many chronic diseases, the condition progresses for many years before receiving a diagnosis. Research shows that approximately 70% of women 50 years and older have some bone loss, and this might be an underestimate considering the many commonly prescribed medications, such as antidepressants and acid-blocking medications, that can damage bone health even earlier in life. If you have osteoporosis and fracture a hip, there's up to a 65% chance of death within a year. However, it's important to understand that while serious, this isn't an emergency. There's time to educate yourself and create a holistic bone health plan. I'm so glad to be able to connect with John and be able to bring a natural and holistic solution to my patients and listeners who are wanting to prevent osteoporosis and fractures.

So it's flying under the radar and it's being under-treated and frankly mistreated." – Dr. John Neustadt   Links Mentioned: FREE E-book “A Woman's Guide to Kick-Ass Sleep”: https://bit.ly/4cblYcT FREE PDF “Fracture-Proof Your Bones”: https://www.nbihealth.com/fractureproof/   Connect with Dr. John Neustadt: Website: https://www.nbihealth.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnneustadt/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-neustadt-nd-1553576/   Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/

Host Jeremy Quinby has a conversation with Dr. John Neustadt, doctor of Naturopathic medicine and founder NBI, Nutritional Biochemistty Inc. who helps us sort through the many considerations when it comes to supporting bone health, preventing osteoporosis and the options available if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with osteopinia, a sign of diminishing bone mass that can lead to osteoporosis.  John takes us through the science, testing options, medications and supplementation options for both prevention and treatment.  https://www.nbihealth.com/

This episode was fascinating. I think we learned more in this one podcast than maybe any other conversation we've had. Dr. John Neustadt has an international reputation as a Doctor, researcher, and integrative medical expert on the topic of Osteoporosis. He became renowned in his field through his nutritional medicine research, clinical work, books he wrote, and his work with the FDA on evaluating the use of natural products for the potential treatment of rare diseases. He has developed million-dollar businesses, educated physicians on improving patient outcomes and the general public on how to make sure they're getting the care they need and the results they want, and now has his own line of supplements to treat the adverse effects of Osteoporosis. Dr. Neustadt has published more than 100 medical articles, written four health and wellness books and is now a #1 Amazon Best Selling Author in the field of Osteoporosis. His most recent book is, Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis. We love the fact that Dr. Neustadt is working to educate other physicians on using functional medicine with their patients. Dr. J (as we like to call him) is a highly sought out speaker at medical conferences he was recognized as one of the Top Ten Cited Authors in the world for his work. Over the years he has specialized in hard-to-treat, chronic degenerative diseases through an integrative approach that emphasizes identifying and correcting the underlying causes of disease. AND He was the first naturopathic doctor to be voted Best Doctor among all physicians in his area. When the award was announced, the local newspaper stated: “It is noteworthy that Dr. Neustadt did not win ‘best naturopathic doctor;' he won best doctor. Today, he is the Founder and President of Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc. (NBI). And let me tell you what...this man, genuinely, want to heal people and educate the general public (and doctors) how to ensure quality care is provided and received. In this episode Dr. J teaches us: Osteoporosis is a disease in which the degenerative forces are "winning" and outpacing your body's ability to build new bone. Essentially, you're losing bone density at a faster pace that new bone can be rebuilt, increasing your likelihood of fracture. The bone is a living and dynamic tissue and there are things what we can to build the bone back up and reverse osteoporosis. We also have to be weary of what breaks bone down. A bone density test is the primary test modern doctors use to measure of the effects of osteoporosis today and the only tool most doctors speak to their patients about. However, new research reflects that the dangers of osteoporosis largely occur due to factors other than loss of density. Many medications we are prescribed today weaken our bones and put us at risk for osteoporosis. These medications include those that treat depression and acid blockers. It is recommended you read the inserts that come with your prescribed medications or ask the pharmacist to see if there is an osteoporosis related side effect. The mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce the risk for osteoporosis by 20% and reduce hip fractures by 21%, the most dangerous type of fracture. With every forkful of food you are either feeding the disease or improving your health. Dr. John has a mission and so do we! We want you to be the best version of yourself.

Once eager to take charge of his health and seek deeper understanding, Dr. John Neustadt faced a turning point when he realized that his own doctor was not supportive of his proactive approach. During a medical visit, instead of engaging with him about potential lifestyle changes and preventative measures, Dr. Neustadt's physician appeared rushed and disinterested, seeking only to prescribe medication and move on. This interaction left Dr. Neustadt feeling dissatisfied and undervalued as a patient.Today, Dr. Neustadt enlightens us about the crucial link between sleep, gut health, and our bones. He shares his personal journey from conventional medicine to naturopathy and provides us with an in-depth understanding of bone health beyond bone density tests. Listen as we explore the detrimental effects of chronic inflammation and certain medications on bone health, the vital role of hormones, and how specific dietary supplements can support bone integrity.TakeawaysUnderstand the importance of sleep for bone healthKeep an eye on medications.Choose quality supplementsConnect with Dr. John NeustadtWebsite: NBIHealth.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-neustadt-nd-1553576/Instagram:  @JohnNeustadt @NBIHealthYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NBIHealthConnectDr. Trip Goolsby & LeNae Goolsby are the co-founders of the Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center, and are also the co-authors of the book “Think and Live Longer”.

It disrupts the natural balance of bone building cells. Research shows that for people taking antidepressants for 1-5 years, 1 in 19 people are expected to break a bone. QUOTES:  “The real thing we're trying to work with and prevent is fractures because they're so deadly. Every 30 seconds somewhere in the world, somebody with osteoporosis is breaking a bone. In fact, globally, osteoporosis is second only to cardiovascular disease as a health concern, and it accounts for more days spent in a hospital than other diseases like heart attacks, diabetes and breast cancer.” - Dr. John Neustadt“It's been discovered not that long ago that it's part of our endocrine or hormonal system. There are some hormones involved like osteocalcin that have been shown to help with blood sugar and glucose and insulin. So that does more than just help us walk and lay down and stand up and move around.” - Dr. John Neustadt“The most predictive and consistent predictor of a future fracture is somebody's gait and mobility. Can they walk unassisted? Can they stand up from a seated position easily? How fast can they walk? Anything we can do to prevent somebody falling can prevent somebody's fractures? Then what we want to do is create the environment in the body that will actually help to maintain and grow strong bones, to maintain strong bones, promote healthy bone density, but also just to promote health within the bones entirely.” - Dr. John Neustadt“There are multiple studies now that show that all you have to do is walk an average of 7,000 to 7,500 steps a day. The benefits seem to plateau at 7,500 steps per day. And that's associated with a 50 to 70 percent reduction in all cause mortality.” - Dr. John Neustadt"Health, across the board, comes down to a handful of common things and...even with a lot of the diagnoses and things that are out there, we have a lot in our control and we can actually, really take a proactive approach." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCESNBI Health WebsiteJohn Neustadt's LinkedInJohn Neustadt's TwitterNBI Health Facebook PageNBI Health YouTubeGUEST BIO:With us today is Dr. John Neustadt (New-Stat), ND, the Founder and President of Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc.

Dr. Peter Bongiorno discusses An Integrative Approach to Depression and Anxiety at the Functional Medicine Discussion Group meeting on September 28, 2023 with moderator Dr. Weitz.   [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]    Podcast Highlights 9:27   The Neurotransmitter Theory of Depression and Anxiety.  This theory is that specific neurotransmitters are responsible for mood disorders. For example, this theory includes the idea that depression is caused by a deficiency of serotonin.  In 2008 the New England Journal of Medicine published a paper suggesting that maybe this whole serotonin theory wasn't true, and a lot more people who took SSRIs actually didn't have as positive effect. [Belmaker RH, Agam G. Major Depressive Disorder. N Engl J Med 2008; 358:55-68.]  Then Fournier in JAMA published a paper showing that SSRIs had no better effect than placebo for mild to moderate depression, though they are beneficial for severe depression. In 2020 a paper discussed that the evidence is that "The main areas of serotonin research provide no consistent evidence of there being an association between serotonin and depression, and no support for the hypothesis that depression is caused by lowered serotonin activity or concentrations." [Moncrieff, J., Cooper, R.E., Stockmann, T. et al. The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence. Mol Psychiatry (2022).]  Some studies show that a medication, Stablon, which lowers serotonin, is equally effective as SSRI drugs that raise serotonin levels.  This is not to say that serotonin has no effect but only 27 to 35% of patients who take an antidepressant have a positive response.  Even if serotonin is a factor, there may be other factors that affect whether that antidepressant can be effective, such as do they have enough amino acids in their diet to make neurotransmitters?  It could also be because estrogen or other hormones are low or their adrenals or thyroid are off. Even if depression or anxiety are related to a neurotransmitter issue, we should be trying to figure out what caused this dysregulation of neurotransmitters.  Those reasons can include physiology, nutrients, hormones, inflammation, digestion, lack of sleep, not enough exercise, too much exercise, mitochondrial dysfunction, toxicity, mold. 16:02  SSRIs.  Drugs that potentially modulate serotonin and the other neurotransmitters, like the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) even when they do work, tend to stop working after a period of time. And there are many problems with these drugs, including that they are very difficult to get off of these drugs when you want to stop taking them and they have significant side effects, including a significant increase in all-cause mortality.  Dr. John Neustadt spoke at the Connecticut Naturopathic Conference about how SSRIs increase the risk of osteoporosis by changing osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity.  Also when you place someone on these SSRI medications, it does change the function of the HPA axis and does change the ability and the balance of how the body regulates things like circadian rhythm, how it regulates the production of neurotransmitters, how it regulates the production of receptors. 20:32  Dietary Factors.  Two of the most important factors are the patient sleeping and pooping?  It is critical that the patient is having a good bowel movement daily.  We need to facilitate that whether it is adding fiber, water, magnesium, etc. If the patient has a lot of anxiety, that tends to put them into sympathetic mode, which shuts down the bowels. So we need to calm their anxiety, whether that is through supplements or acupuncture. Then the next step is to look at their diet and see what we can change to get them eating better.
