In this episode the guys break down how to reverse osteopenia and osteoporosis — explaining the difference between the two, why 43% of adults over 50 have low bone mass, and why this is actually very fixable. They cover the four key steps: getting stronger (not just lifting weights), eating enough to build, taking key nutrients like calcium, vitamin D and magnesium, and being consistent because bone adapts more slowly than muscle. They also discuss why GLP-1 users are showing up with osteopenia and why it's not the drug's fault, Sal's experience with Rho Nutrition's liposomal curcumin and why it's dramatically reducing his jiu jitsu inflammation, Adam's deep dive into the solar panel scam with PG&E buying his energy at $0.08 and selling it back at $0.48, creatine accelerating recovery from brain injuries and concussions in kids, protein Doritos macro breakdown, noninvasive brain stimulation improving explosive power, AI agents buying robot dogs for themselves, and whether Dune or Star Wars came first.

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.

Dr. Bill Andrews is the Founder and CEO of Sierra Sciences; a company focused on finding ways to extend human lifespan and health span. Bill has been featured in Popular Science, The Today Show, The Doctor's TV Show, and numerous documentaries on the topic of life extension. Bill co-stars with Dr. Aubrey de Grey in the documentary “The Immortalists” that made it to the “Top-10-List” to receive an Oscar in 2014Bill is also an ultramarathon runner with over 100 ultramarathons under his belt. Bill believes that consistent and fun endurance exercise is one of the best ways to reduce inflammation and slow aging.Speaking at the Cell Surgical Conference 2024Bill's areas of research have included Dwarfism, Cancer, CardiovascularDisease, Inflammation, Osteoporosis, Anemia, Multiple Sclerosis,Aging, and many others. Before founding Sierra Sciences Bill was aMedical Researcher at Armos Corporation, Codon Corporation, BerlexBiosciences, Geron Corporation, and EOS Biotech. Bill played key rolesin the discoveries and inventions of:Human Growth Hormone (hGH), Prorennin (Prochymosin), Tissue Plasminogen Activator(tPA), Osteo-Inductive Factor (OIF), Thrombomodulin, Erythropoietin (EPO), Beta-Seron, HTSite Specific Mutagenesis, Various Cancer Treatments (Rytelo, Telomelysin, GV1001, UV1,mutant hTR, and others), Telomerase, TRAPeze, TA-65, hTERT mRNA RT-PCR HTS,Telomerase Gene Therapy, C0314818 (TAM818), TeloSMRT, Isagenesis (Product B), Premere, Telo-Vital, Rytelo, and many more.In 1997 Bill was awarded 2nd Place as National Inventor of the Year for his cancer research. In the early-to-mid 1990s, while at Geron Corporation, Bill led the research to discover both the RNA and protein components of human telomerase, the enzyme responsible forpreventing telomeres from shortening in our reproductive cells. He has determined that the only real definite “hard-stop” to lifespan and health span, that is true for all humans, as well as non-human primates, cats, dogs, horses, sheep, pig, and deer, is “Telomere Shortening”. No matter what else we do to treat aging, aging will neverbe cured and/or reversed unless we also solve the telomere shortening problem.Presently, the primary focus of Sierra Sciences is to find ways toproduce telomerase and lengthen telomeres in all cells of the humanbody, not just our reproductive cells, and eliminate this key hard-stop tosuper-longevity. But Bill is aware that the war against aging is not goingto be won with just one battle.Contact Dr. Bill Andrews:website: https://sierrasci.com/https://www.facebook.com/telomere.bill.andrewshttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551532301673linkedin.com/in/billandrewsphdhttps://www.youtube.com/@billandrewsphdhttps://www.youtube.com/@sierrasciences1625https://www.instagram.com/yonderssi/Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

Osteoporosis can silently weaken bones long before a fracture happens. In this episode of Baptist Health Talk, host Johanna Gomez talks with April Tchumy, orthopedic nurse practitioner with the Bone Health and Fracture Prevention Program at Baptist Health, about how infusion care and injection therapies can help protect bone health and reduce fracture risk.Many people hear “infusion care” and think of cancer treatment, ports and hours in a chair. But for osteoporosis, infusion and injection treatments can look very different — and may be an important option for patients at higher risk of fractures.In this episode: • How osteoporosis is diagnosed through bone density screening • When screening may be needed before the standard age guidelines • The difference between oral medications, IV infusions and injections • Why some patients may need bone-building treatments first • Common side effects and what patients can expect • How calcium, vitamin D and strength training support bone health • Why preventing hip and spine fractures is such a major treatment goal • How treatment success is measured over timeListen to Baptist Health Talk for more conversations on prevention, wellness and the most searched health topics.Host:Johanna GomezAward-Winning Host & JournalistGuest:April Tschumy, APRN, ONP-CMetabolic Bone SpecialistBaptist Health Orthopedic CareIf you found this episode helpful, you may also enjoy:Osteoporosis Explained: Risks, Screenings, and Strength Training

Can you reverse osteoporosis naturally? This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Kim Millman as we explore what's truly possible when it comes to bone health. Together, we share what we've seen in clinical practice, what's realistic, and how to set proper expectations when it comes to improving bone density. We discuss how natural therapies like bioidentical hormones, weight training, and root-cause interventions can meaningfully improve bone health over time. We walk through real case studies, including women who improved bone density through hormone optimization, structured strength training, and correction of underlying issues like hyperparathyroidism. These cases highlight how addressing the root cause can dramatically change outcomes. This conversation reinforces something I deeply believe: With the right approach, many people can improve bone density, stabilize loss, and significantly reduce fracture risk. "Medications should be used as a short-term bridge, while we simultaneously work on stabilizing the root causes of bone loss." ~ Dr. Kim Millman In this episode: - [03:46] - Extent, timeline, and monitoring results of various therapies - [07:19] - Three pillars of natural bone building therapies - [08:55] - Case study: hormone therapy and spine improvement - [16:50] - Trabecular bone score (bone quality vs density) - [17:47] - Case study: weight training + hormone synergy - [27:17] - Hyperparathyroidism: a hidden driver of bone loss - [37:01] - Root causes of bone loss - [38:09] - When medication becomes necessary in an integrative plan - [45:01] - Restore & Rebuild program and practical next steps Resources - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/paylesssupplements - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (video series) - https://tinyurl.com/strongerbonesexercises - Dr. Millman's Class: Restore & Rebuild: 100 Days to Healthier Bones (next class starts August 15th) - https://themillmanclinic.com/randr (Use coupon code HAPPYF26100 for a $100 discount) More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Bone Health Beyond Calcium: Vitamin D, K, Protein, Medications, and Metabolic Risks: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses factors affecting bone health, osteopenia/osteoporosis, and limitations of bone mineral density as a measure of bone strength. She emphasizes optimizing vitamin D via 25-hydroxy D testing (aiming roughly 55–85 and avoiding over 100), ensuring vitamin K for proper calcium placement, and addressing malabsorption from GI conditions, food intolerances, or inflammation. She notes long-term proton pump inhibitor use can impair calcium and magnesium absorption and increase osteoporosis risk. Diet considerations include avoiding overly grain-heavy, acid-forming patterns and ensuring high biological value protein; she also mentions heavy metals affecting bones. Additional assessment includes magnesium and DHEA sulfate, plus resistance and balance training (ideally three times weekly). She highlights research linking hyperinsulinemia/type 2 diabetes/cardiovascular disease to fragility fractures despite normal or higher bone density, proposing carbohydrate restriction, fasting, and ketosis to improve bone remodeling via osteocalcin and mitochondrial function.

STRONGER BONES LIFESTYLE: REVERSING THE COURSE OF OSTEOPOROSIS NATURALLY
Why are so many women leaving their osteoporosis appointments feeling discouraged and unheard?In this solo episode, Debi Robinson explains the differences between conventional medicine and functional medicine when it comes to bone health. She discusses why the traditional healthcare model often focuses on diagnosis and medication and why that approach may feel limiting for women who want to take a more natural approach to osteoporosis.Debi also shares how functional medicine explores the root causes of bone loss, the importance of lifestyle medicine, and why education and support are essential for creating stronger, fracture-resistant bones.What You'll LearnWhy so many women feel frustrated after an osteoporosis diagnosisThe strengths and limitations of conventional medicineHow functional medicine differs from the insurance-based modelWhy osteoporosis is considered a lifestyle-based conditionThe importance of digestion and nutrient absorptionWhy functional testing alone isn't enoughThe role of coaching and support in creating changeHow daily habits influence bone remodelingQuestions to ask before working with a functional medicine practitionerWhy you have more control over your bone health than you thinkAction StepsDecide what approach feels right for your healthcare journey.Educate yourself about your treatment options.Begin focusing on daily lifestyle habits that support bone health.Learn about digestion and nutrient absorption.Prioritize sleep, stress management, and movement.Seek support and guidance if needed.Become an active participant in your bone health journey.Resources & Links

Are you wondering what's new in osteoporosis research for 2026? In this episode, I'm joined by my husband, Dr. Craig Bissinger, as we review the most exciting osteoporosis updates from 2026. We share insights from the Interdisciplinary Symposium on Osteoporosis in Washington, DC, covering everything from new medications and bone-building drugs to the latest research on estrogen therapy and early screening strategies. We discuss the FDA's new endpoint for drug approval, which could speed up the availability of new medications like the oral version of Forteo. We also review the removal of the estrogen black box warning, showing that for many women, the benefits outweigh the risks, especially for those under 60 or within 10 years of menopause. We also dive into bone turnover markers that track bone building and breakdown in real time, helping you see progress in months rather than years. Finally, we discuss new screening guidelines, early detection for women, and the importance of interdisciplinary care. Tune in to learn how you can be proactive in protecting and strengthening your bones. "By changing the criteria for assessing the quality of the drug, they've chosen a different parameter, which is the Bone Mineral Density [BMD]...You're going to have a much more rapid evaluation, and henceforth new drugs will be able to come to the market earlier." ~ Dr. Craig Bissinger In this episode: - [01:23] - FDA approves total hip BMD as endpoint for drug trials - [01:57] - Oral Forteo: First pill version of anabolic drug - [04:29] - Removal of estrogen black box warning and implications - [10:16] - Estrogen for bone health, heart, and colon protection - [11:36] - Short-course anabolic therapy vs. maintenance therapy - [16:35] - Importance of medication sequencing - [24:30] - Bone turnover markers for monitoring progress - [32:04] - New screening guidelines for women - [37:55] - Bone medication and cardiovascular risk - [40:07] - The use of AI in diagnostics - [43:18] - Interdisciplinary care and referrals to physical therapy Resources - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/paylesssupplements - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (video series) - https://tinyurl.com/strongerbonesexercises More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

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.

If you've had multiple fifth metatarsal fractures and you also have osteoporosis, can you still run safely? Many runners assume the answer is automatically “no.” But that is not necessarily true. In this episode of the Doc On The Run Podcast, Dr. Christopher Segler explains how runners with osteoporosis can sometimes continue running safely after stress fractures or fifth metatarsal fractures—as long as they understand the specific risks that may have caused the fractures in the first place. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why osteoporosis increases stress fracture risk • Why repeated fifth metatarsal fractures may not just be about bone density • How road slope can overload the fifth metatarsal • Why biomechanics matter in recurrent fractures • The difference between healing and remodeling • Why runners with osteoporosis have to be more vigilant about stress management • The key questions runners should ask before returning to training The goal is not simply avoiding fractures. The goal is staying active without re-injuring the bone.

When it comes to osteoporosis, many women are told to focus on calcium, vitamin D, medications, or hormone therapy. But what if bone loss is actually a reflection of deeper imbalances throughout the body?In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with functional medicine nutritionist Andrea Nakayama to explore a systems-based approach to bone health. Together, they discuss how digestion, blood sugar balance, inflammation, stress, hormones, and lifestyle factors all contribute to bone strength and healthy aging.Andrea explains why osteoporosis is rarely caused by a single issue and shares practical ways women can begin identifying the root causes that may be impacting their bones.What You'll LearnWhy osteoporosis is often more complex than a calcium deficiencyThe difference between conventional and functional approachesAndrea's “Three Roots, Many Branches” frameworkHow sleep impacts hormones and bone remodelingThe connection between digestion and nutrient absorptionWhy blood sugar balance matters for bone healthThe role of inflammation in chronic disease and bone lossImportant considerations around thyroid health and bone densityWhy symptoms can be valuable clues rather than problems to suppressHow to become a more empowered partner in your healthcareAction StepsTrack your sleep quality for one week.Pay attention to digestion and elimination patterns.Include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal.Notice which habits make you feel better—or worse.Explore potential root causes rather than focusing only on symptoms.Discuss hormone, thyroid, and metabolic health with your practitioner.Build a lifestyle that supports long-term bone remodeling and resilience.Resources & LinksAndrea Nakayama: andreanakayama.comDebi'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 TakeawayYour bones are part of a much bigger story.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared shines a spotlight on boron, one of the most overlooked minerals in human nutrition and a nutrient with surprising implications for bone health, hormone balance, vitamin D activity, and healthy aging. A major focus of this episode is osteoporosis prevention and bone density support, including why simply taking more calcium may not be the answer. Jared explores the science behind boron's role in calcium retention, magnesium utilization, vitamin D metabolism, and healthy bone formation while also discussing the importance of key bone-building cofactors like vitamin K2, silica, and magnesium. He breaks down the research on osteoporosis, osteopenia, and the "calcium paradox," while explaining how boron may support healthy hormone levels, cognitive function, joint comfort, and overall wellness. If you're concerned about aging well, maintaining strong bones, or optimizing your health naturally, this episode is a must-listen.Products:Vital D3/K2 High PotencyVital D3/K2Solaray Calcium HydroxyapatiteMagnesium Bisglycinate Ultimate Vitality MultiHakala Labs BoroTabVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

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.

¿Por qué hay personas con 55 años que parece que tienen 60? ¿Y por qué hay otras que con 70 parecen tener 40? No es una cuestión de genética, ni tampoco es cuestión de suerte, sino más bien de capacidad. En concreto, es cuestión de cómo de rápido pierdes tus capacidades, porque cumplir años implica que cada vez el juego de la vida es un poquito más difícil, a menos que hagas lo que te voy a explicar hoy para revertir esto. Para empezar, cada persona puede decidir llevar la vida que quiera. Y ahí está la clave del envejecimiento, en las decisiones que se toman. Pero como digo siempre: Escoge el comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias. Porque es cierto que actualmente sin hacer nada especial, la esperanza de vida ha aumentado principalmente por motivos sanitarios, tecnológicos e higiénicos… PERO, lo que sí ha cambiado es la capacidad de manipular la velocidad del envejecimiento. La verdadera diferencia entre una persona que parece joven y otra que parece mucho mayor no suele estar en la fecha de nacimiento. Está en lo que su cuerpo todavía es capaz de hacer. Haz una prueba mental rápida. Piensa en cómo estabas hace diez años: ¿Te levantabas del suelo con más facilidad? ¿Subías escaleras sin pensarlo? ¿Podías cargar peso sin molestias? ¿Te sentías más ágil? ¿Tenías más energía? Si la respuesta es sí, entonces ya sabes exactamente de qué estoy hablando. Porque eso son capacidades. Y cuando las pierdes, empiezas a interpretar esa pérdida como envejecimiento. Los dos principales retos del envejecimiento: Osteoporosis y Sarcopenia Los dos grandes responsables de que pierdas tus capacidades con los años son dos procesos degenerativos de nuestro organismo: la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. Casi todo el mundo sabe lo que es la osteoporosis porque ya hay una industria que se encarga cada año de gastarse miles de millones de dólares en que entendamos qué es, que le tengamos miedo y que, por supuesto, la combatamos con sus productos. Y no voy a decir qué industria es para que los de la leche no se me enfaden, pero es así. Sin embargo, lo curioso es que, aunque todo el mundo conozca la osteoporosis y casi nadie a la sarcopenia, ambas son primas hermanas porque son procesos de degeneración directos que se producen al ir cumpliendo años: La osteoporosis: Es la degeneración de la masa ósea. La sarcopenia: Es la degeneración de la masa muscular. La parte buena es que, aunque estos procesos no se pueden revertir por completo, sí que se pueden retrasar. Eso es lo que hace que una persona con 50 años parezca que tiene 30 y otra con 40 parezca que tiene 60. La diferencia radica exclusivamente en las decisiones que ha tomado cada uno de ellos con respecto a la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. La encrucijada del envejecimiento: Dos caminos obligatorios Años vas a cumplir igual, por lo que te ves obligado a escoger entre dos caminos. No puedes escoger ir por los dos, ni tampoco puedes quedarte parado y no ir por ninguno. Tienes que decidir: Camino 1: Dejarse llevar y no hacer nada. En este caso, te beneficiarás de los avances médicos y de la farmacología, permitiéndote seguramente vivir una vida larga. Pero notarás que cada vez todo te cuesta un poquito más. Te dolerán las rodillas al subir las escaleras, no podrás cargar las bolsas de la compra, te dolerá la espalda al levantarte, dormirás fatal y engordarás más. Es el camino de los que dicen que todo esto es «cosa de la edad». Camino 2: Minimizar la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. El camino de los que toman acción para blindar sus capacidades físicas y retrasar las consecuencias de la degradación ósea y muscular. El poder del entrenamiento de fuerza y musculación ¿Andar? ¿Zumba? ¿Pilates? ¿Cómo se minimizan realmente la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia? Con actividad física, especialmente entrenamiento de musculación. Si hubiera otra forma mejor, la diría. Si la zumba fuera mejor lo diría, si el spinning fuera mejor lo diría, si el pilates fuera mejor lo diría, si la natación fuera mejor lo diría. Pero es que lo mejor para fortalecer la musculatura y los huesos y, por tanto, retrasar la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia, es el entrenamiento de fuerza/musculación. Porque cuando aplicas entrenamientos de fuerza, lo que le estás diciendo al cuerpo es que debe preservar la masa muscular e incluso hacerla más fuerte y más grande. Y cuando haces esto, automáticamente todo lo demás mejora. Los beneficios metabólicos colaterales de entrenar fuerza: Mejor control del apetito y de la glucosa: Te haces más sensible a la insulina y puedes almacenar más glucógeno, lo que provoca que almacenes menos grasa y, por ende, engordes menos. Optimización de la tasa metabólica basal: Al preservar la masa muscular, usarás más calorías en reposo. No es una cantidad enorme, pero es muchísimo mejor que perder masa muscular y provocar que tu metabolismo disminuya de golpe. Si pierdes masa muscular (siguiendo el Camino 1), aunque sigas comiendo lo mismo que has comido toda la vida sin engordar, ahora vas a engordar. Pero no es por la edad; es porque has decidido tomar el camino 1. Si tomas el camino dos, no solamente no vas a perder capacidad metabólica con esas cantidades, sino que es posible que tengas que comer incluso más sin engordar, haciendo tu día a día mucho más placentero al poder disfrutar de cantidades más grandes de comida. Solo necesitas 3 horas a la semana Hablamos de algo que cualquiera puede conseguir entrenando 3 días por semana. No es necesario pasarse media vida en el gimnasio, son 3 horas a la semana. Probablemente menos. Todo el mundo tiene ese tiempo, pero es comprensible que no todo el mundo quiera hacerlo. De ahí el tema de que sea un camino que tienes que decidir tomar de forma consciente. Edad Cronológica frente a Edad Biológica ¿Por qué Wayne Rooney y Cristiano Ronaldo tienen la misma edad y Rooney parece el abuelo de Ronaldo? ¿Ha sido por suerte? ¿Por genética? ¿Por dinero? No, ha sido porque ambos han seguido estilos de vida muy diferentes. Eso es lo que separa de manera radical la edad cronológica (la que marca tu DNI) de la edad biológica (la que muestras al mundo). Y aunque hay muchos tests que te dicen cuál es tu edad biológica, la manera más honesta de medirla es mirarte en el espejo y preguntarte: ¿Cuántos años tendrías si no supieras los años que tienes? Eso es lo que separa a alguien que envejece muy rápido de alguien que parece que no envejece. No es el colágeno, no son las cremas, no son los retoques estéticos. Es la decisión de tomar el camino uno o el camino dos. La Curva de Joseph Signorile: Nunca es tarde para cambiar de camino La parte buena es que, aunque hasta ahora hayas ido por el camino uno, siempre tienes la opción de cambiarte al camino dos. La ciencia nos respalda a través de la curva de Joseph Signorile. Esta curva muestra cómo incluso una persona sedentaria que no haya hecho deporte nunca, empezando a entrenar fuerza en torno a los 40 años, puede conseguir que su envejecimiento se haga mucho más sostenido; casi parecido (aunque evidentemente no igual) al de una persona que lleva entrenando de forma constante desde su juventud. Escoge tu comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias Aquí están los datos, ahora te toca a ti escoger el camino que quieras. Porque escojas el camino que escojas, lo que es innegable es que envejecer es un premio, y es muchísimo mejor cumplir años que no cumplirlos. Pero asumiendo que los vas a cumplir, tú decides cómo quieres llevarlos. Como te dije al principio: escoge el comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias. Origen

In 2024 Gisèle Pelicot waved her legal right to anonymity for the trial of her then husband, declaring that shame has to change sides. Her then husband had drugged and raped her and invited other men to rape her, filming as they did so. He was found guilty of her aggravated rape, along with 46 other men. Another two were found guilty of attempted rape and a further two were found guilty of sexual assault. Gisèle has now written her memoir, A Hymn to Life and joins Nuala McGovern talk about her decision to have an open court, the devasting effect on her and her family of her ex-husband's actions and finding love again in her 70s.For the first time since 2023, a women's match will take centre stage in the tournament's primetime night session at the French Open. The coveted slot has been dominated exclusively by men's matches since then. The absence has drawn growing criticism from players and fans, questioning why they've been overlooked. But now, a fourth round clash between – Belarus's Aryna Sabalenka current number one player and former number 1 Japan's Naomi Osaka finally breaks that run. Tennis reporter Karthi Gnanasegaram joins us.72% of those affected by osteoporosis are women. The government promised to roll out fracture liaison services to every NHS Trust in England two years ago. But there is still no progress or plan. Just over half of NHS Trusts currently have them. Nuala speaks to the Royal Osteoporosis Society CEO Craig Jones and expert Dr Nicola Peel, as well as Irene Baker who says her osteoporosis wasn't treated properly for five years as she has no specialist service in her area.She came to fame on one of the first TV talent shows back in 2002, and twenty four years later Zoe Birkett's now out on tour with Take That. She's played Tina Turner in the West End and the lead in The Bodyguard. She tells us all about performing with Gary, Howard and Mark and stepping into Lulu's shoes on their hit record Relight My Fire for their tour The Circus Live.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey
Join Kay Mayordomo, PT, DPT as she reviews a 2026 systematic review on the association between BMI and osteoporosis risk. Did you know your BMI could be misleading when it comes to osteoporosis risk? Recent research reveals an association between body mass index (BMI) and osteoporosis. Lower BMIs are often associated with higher osteoporosis risk, especially in women. As BMI increases, the risk generally decreases, suggesting that more body mass can help maintain bone density. But...there's always a but: BMI doesn't tell the whole story. It's just a number, a ratio of height to weight. It doesn't reflect muscle mass, fat distribution, or overall health. Two people can have the same BMI, but vastly different bone health based on their lifestyle and habits. As clinicians, we need to look beyond BMI. Focus on strength training, nutrition, and healthy habits. Help patients maintain their muscle mass and overall well-being. So while BMI can indicate osteoporosis risk, remember it's just one piece of the puzzle. Let's prioritize looking at the whole picture. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41862888/ Want to stay up to date in all things Geriatrics in less than 3 minutes every other week?

Are you exercising for osteoporosis but unsure if your program is truly effective? Many people miss key components that make all the difference in preventing fractures and building strong bones. In this episode, I dive into the essentials of a complete osteoporosis exercise program. As a physical therapist with over 40 years of experience, I've seen so many women doing "good exercises" but still missing critical pieces that protect their bones and reduce fracture risk. I break down the five core components every osteoporosis program should include and share practical tips for making these exercises effective. I also talk about balance exercises and why improving balance is crucial for preventing falls, and I highlight posture techniques to protect the spine and enhance spinal stability. Finally, I share resources, handouts, and videos you can access for free, so you can implement these exercises safely at home. Whether you're walking, dancing, or doing resistance training, these tips will help you make your program complete and effective for bone strength and independence. "Research has shown that the bones respond to the forces placed upon them. So when a muscle is contracting against resistance, it's pulling on the bone and shaking the bone as if to say, hey, we need more bone here." ~ Margie Bissinger In this episode: - [01:19] - Five essentials for a bone-building program - [03:28] - Resistance training: proper weight, form, and frequency - [09:32] - Impact and weight-bearing exercises: why supervision helps - [11:49] - Balance training: static, dynamic, dual-tasking for fall prevention - [15:54] - Posture work: spinal alignment, seated posture, visual cues - [24:30] - Flexion vs. extension exercises - [27:10] - Movements to avoid - [34:55] - Aerobic exercise: benefits and limits for bone density - [35:25] - Core & pelvic floor: breathing and stabilization techniques - [39:08] - Happy Bones Club for workshops, Q&A, and more resources Resources - Osteoporosis Exercises - https://tinyurl.com/exercisesforme - Happy Bones Club membership - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/bones-club More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Osteoporosis may present after menopause, but prevention starts decades earlier. In this episode of BackTable Women's Health, Dr. Carla Gunn, guest host and OBGYN, interviews Dr. Pooja Luthra, an endocrinologist at UConn Health, about osteopenia, osteoporosis, and practical strategies for lifelong bone health. --- Get the BackTable app https://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction03:28 - Why Bone Health Matters Early05:23 - Bone as a Vital Sign08:02 - Amenorrhea and Early Screening09:51 - Calcium, Vitamin D, and Protein15:11 - Menopause Bone Biology Explained21:58 - Metabolic Diseases and Bone Risk25:58 - Early Screening Red Flags27:53 - Hormone Therapy Bone Benefits30:59 - Reading DEXA Scores33:42 - FRAX Scores35:09 - Modern Treatment Sequencing38:02 - Bisphosphonates Mechanism and Concerns41:16 - Secondary Labs and Referrals44:23 - Closing Thoughts --- More about this episode Dr. Luthra explains how peak bone mass is largely established by early adulthood, followed by accelerated loss during the perimenopausal/menopausal transition due to estrogen decline, inflammatory cytokines, altered calcium absorption, and increased bone resorption. She reviews prevention strategies, including adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake, resistance training, and avoiding smoking and excess alcohol use. The discussion also covers high-risk conditions that can negatively impact bone health, including amenorrhea, premature ovarian insufficiency, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, along with considerations for earlier screening in these patients. Dr. Luthra walks through DEXA interpretation, including T-scores, Z-scores, trabecular bone score (TBS), and FRAX assessment. She closes the conversation by outlining treatment sequencing with anabolic agents before antiresorptives, bisphosphonate safety, alternative therapies, and secondary osteoporosis workup labs. --- Resources FRAX Tool:https://www.fraxplus.org/calculation-tool --- BackTable Women's Health is the go-to podcast for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals focused on women's health.

Could your DEXA scan be missing important clues about your real fracture risk? I brought Dr. Doug Lucas back because I've been getting so many questions about bone health, and I wanted to cut through the fear, myths, and confusion around osteoporosis. Dr. Doug is an orthopedic surgeon turned bone health expert, and in this conversation, we talk about why bone loss is not something you just have to accept with age. We dig into the food, exercise, testing, hormones, and daily habits that can help you build stronger bones and reduce fracture risk. What you'll learn: (03:39) Calcium alone is not the full answer for preventing fractures and may come with risks when taken without vitamin D. (04:29) Walking can help slow bone loss but is not enough to reverse osteoporosis. (06:48) A normal DEXA scan does not automatically mean your fracture risk is low. (09:34) Osteoporosis medications can be useful in some cases but should not be treated as the only solution. (11:35) How Dr. Doug thinks about reversing osteoporosis by addressing the root causes of bone loss. (15:42) Which factors can drive bone loss, including hormones, medications, diet, sedentary living, and endurance training. (19:15) Starting protein earlier in the day can make it easier to hit your goals and support muscle protein synthesis. (36:08) How CTX and P1NP blood tests can help show whether you are breaking down or building bone. Love the podcast? Here's what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.

Most people think creativity is something you either have or you don't — a gift, a gene, a mysterious lightning bolt that strikes a chosen few. Kyle Scheele has spent his career dismantling that belief, and in this conversation he makes the case that creativity isn't magic at all. It's problem-solving. And everyone already does it, every single day.In Part 1 of this episode: Why your brain is not a truth-seeking machine — it's a belief justification machine: give it the belief "I'm not creative" and it will spend the rest of your life finding evidence to prove you rightKyle's spontaneous ideation theory — the creativity myth he compares to the 17th century scientific belief that dirty rags and wheat kernels spontaneously generated mice, and why most people's understanding of where ideas come from is just as wrongThe coffee shop moment that defined Kyle's career: his friend Isaac told him, "most people come in here, talk about an idea, and the next time you hear about it, it's just an idea again — you come in two days later editing the footage"How Kyle went from broke high schooler selling "Osteoporosis is bad to the bone" T-shirts out of the school lunch room to getting a line into Urban Outfitters in his first year of college — and what that early experience installed in him about figuring things outWhy 70% of the time, when companies give their teams the bandwidth to explore a challenge internally, the answer is already there — it's just inside the head of someone who hasn't been asked yet (Harvard Business Review, cited on stage)Content Warning: This episode includes a brief discussion of childhood suicidal ideation.

Some of the biggest threats to your bone health may be hiding in foods you eat every single day, even foods marketed as "healthy." Today, I'm revisiting one of the most popular conversations ever on my YouTube channel with nutrition expert Mira Dessy, The Ingredient Guru. This information is simply too important not to share again. We talk about the hidden ingredients commonly found in packaged and processed foods that may negatively affect both your bone health and your overall well-being. The good news? This episode is not about fear or perfection. It's about awareness and making simple, realistic swaps over time. Mira explains why ingredients like carrageenan, EDTA, phosphoric acid, and excess caffeine may interfere with nutrient absorption, increase inflammation, and potentially contribute to bone loss. We also discuss why the "low-fat" mindset may actually work against your bones by interfering with the absorption of important fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins D and K. We also share practical ways to reduce these ingredients without overwhelm. You can learn how small, sustainable changes can make a meaningful difference for your bones and your overall health. "I encourage people to be brand disloyal…You really want to make sure that you're being proactive for yourself. Make sure that you're looking, not for the brand, not for what's on the front of the package, but for what's in the ingredients." ~ Mira Dessy In this episode: - [03:29] - Carrageenan, emulsifiers, and gut inflammation explained - [12:22] - How gums may affect digestion and nutrient absorption - [14:55] - Why EDTA may interfere with calcium absorption - [18:44] - The surprising connection between caffeine and bone health - [22:06] - Non-caffeinated coffee alternatives - [30:16] - Why low-fat foods may weaken bone health - [33:19] - Phosphoric acid, soda, and mineral depletion - [39:29] - Simple ways to reduce harmful ingredients without overwhelm - [40:59] - Easy bone broth nutrition hacks for stronger bones - [43:37] - New research linking ultra-processed foods to poor bone health Resources - Get discounted supplements at Margie's Fullscript dispensary (SALE 5/18-5/21) - https://tinyurl.com/happybonessupplements - More Natural Approaches to Osteoporosis & Bone Health Summit - free 8 days - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-bone-health-summit - Mira's Substack - https://miradessy.substack.com - January Zine (free for everyone) - https://miradessy.substack.com/p/january-2026-kitchen-table-chat-zine - The Pantry Principle: How to Read the Label and Understand What's Really In Your Food - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0988935708/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 - Avoid the Bone Health Bandits ebook - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4TTHWCF More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

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… Jacquie: My 65-year-old mom was diagnosed with osteoporosis via DEXA (spine -2, hip -3). She's had a hip replacement & later suffered a fall that fractured her femur near the implant. Listened to your other podcasts & I wonder are there cases where the body can't rebuild bone without conventional intervention? Is there research on this? Her doctor recommended injections, saying vitamins alone won't restore bone to the needed level—how valid is that? She does quarterly detoxes & takes DNS, omega3s, vitamin D/K2 drops, & CalMag. She plans to add Daily Bone Support, reduce inflammatory foods & alcohol & increase weight-bearing exercise as able. Testing suggests she follow a limited CBO protocol. Not giving medical advice, what would you do/look into if this was your family member? Thank you! Lynne: I don't see eggs on the food list. Is it ok to eat eggs after the detox? If so, how often. I can get fresh eggs from a local farm and I love them. Drew: Dr Cabral, I heard on another podcast (Rhonda Patrick) there was a research study that showed high speed blenders like Blentech and Vitamix can expose you to microplastic due to ingredients hitting the side of the plastic container. this is increased if using frozen ingredients such as blueberries or ice. i have been making a smoothie for breakfast for almost ten years. i would love to get your take on this. if this is true? should my highspeed blender be replaced (Blentech does not have a Stainless steel or glass container option). should someone who may have been exposed take any extra steps to detox? thank you so much Lisa: I seen your post on berberine and was wondering when is the best time of day to take it? Should I take it with every meal or just once a day? Should I take it before eating or after? You said it can help with fat burning even while sleeping so should I take before bed? Should I avoid taking it with my pre workout meal? Thank you in advance Lisa Jill: Hello, thank you for your informative and educational emails. Looking for the best applications of using Proteolytic Enzymes vs. Niacin for lowering cholesterol and triglycerides and increasing HDL if calcium score is zero. What would the recommended doses be of each?
