Podcasts about Osteoporosis

What if a silent thief was stealing your bone strength right now, and you had no idea until it was too late? Osteoporosis affects millions worldwide, yet most people remain completely unaware until a seemingly minor fall results in a life-altering fracture.Think of your bones like a bank account. During your teens and twenties, you make deposits, building peak bone mass by your early thirties. After that, the withdrawals begin. Whether you end up with strong, resilient bones or fragile ones depends on how much you deposited early on and how quickly you're making withdrawals now.Contrary to popular belief, osteoporosis isn't just a women's health issue. While post-menopausal women face accelerated bone loss due to declining estrogen, men develop it too—often without realizing they're at risk until that first fracture occurs. I've diagnosed osteoporosis in men in their sixties who thought they were "too strong" to have bone problems, only to see them suffer life-changing fractures from minor falls.Nutrition plays a vital role in bone health, but it's not just about milk and calcium. Adults need about 1,000-1,200mg of calcium daily, which can come from various sources including fortified plant milks, tofu, beans, nuts, seeds, and dark leafy greens. Vitamin D, protein, and other minerals all contribute to maintaining bone strength. However, if I could prescribe just one "medication" for osteoporosis, it would be resistance training. Weight-bearing exercise creates mechanical stress that stimulates bone formation more effectively than any supplement.Ready to outsmart this silent bone thief? Start by understanding your personal risk factors, optimizing your nutrition, implementing a progressive resistance training program, and talking to your doctor about appropriate screening. Small changes today can dramatically alter your bone health trajectory and protect your independence for decades to come.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules

Holaaaa :) En el episodio de hoy tengo la enorme suerte de ponerme al otro lado del micrófono y que sea un gran conocido del podcast, mi padre, el Dr. Juan Viña, quien me ayuda a recorrer con sus magníficas preguntas los capítulos centrales de mi libro “Pon tus hormonas a funcionar”. Una conversación muy especial para mí y, sobre todo, creo que será una guía práctica para entender cómo funcionan tus hormonas y qué puedes hacer para cuidarlas en tu día a día.Hablamos de temas claves como: — Insulina y metabolismo. Qué es la resistencia a la insulina, por qué 1 de cada 10 personas la padece sin saberlo, cómo se mide y, lo más importante, cómo mejorar tu sensibilidad a la insulina desde el estilo de vida. — Músculo como órgano endocrino. Qué es la sarcopenia, por qué el músculo envejece, qué son las miocinas y cómo entrenar para preservar tu masa muscular y tu salud a largo plazo. — Cortisol: ni bueno ni malo, necesario. Por qué lo demonizamos, cuáles son sus funciones fisiológicas reales y qué relación tiene con los ritmos circadianos. — Testosterona en mujeres y hombres. Cómo influye en energía, libido, masa muscular, estado de ánimo y salud general. — Estrógenos: mucho más que reproducción. Qué hacen, cómo cambian a lo largo de la vida y si realmente funcionan las cremas de estrógenos en la piel. — Vitamina D como cuasihormona. Por qué tanta gente tiene déficit, qué pauta de suplementación es más eficaz (diaria vs mensual), y por qué combinarla con vitamina K2 marca la diferencia. — Disruptores hormonales. Qué son, dónde se encuentran, por qué pueden afectar al sistema hormonal y qué sabemos hoy sobre microplásticos, semivolátiles y compuestos químicos presentes en nuestro entorno.Ojalá el episodio os sirva para saber mas, temer menos y elegir mejor :) Puedes adquirir mi libro “Pon tus hormonas a funcionar” aquí ( acceso a todas las plataformas de compra de libros) https://www.penguinlibros.com/es/libros-nutricion-fitness-belleza/398994-libro-pon-tus-hormonas-a-funcionar-9788425365980?srsltid=AfmBOorHKhwit8q8J-R3IsOi5PL-3Zs8dxkNCVEvXHaE-tjAFj2_SKU5 Si estás fuera de Europa, también puedes adquirirlo en formato digital desde tu plataforma habitual de libros electrónicos buscando: “Pon tus hormonas a funcionar — Isabel Viña Bas”.Para mas información ya sabéis que me tenéis en mi instagram @isabelvina dónde te comparto contenido diario Mi TikTok @isabelvinabasEn mi canal de YouTube Canal YoutubeY los suplementos formulados por mi en mi web  Mi web

In this powerful and enlightening episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimee Duffy, triple-board-certified functional medicine physician and regenerative health expert, to uncover the deeper biochemical, hormonal, and cellular factors driving bone loss. Dr. Duffy shares how chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, gut dysfunction, emotional trauma, immune imbalance, and mitochondrial decline all impact the body's ability to repair — including the repair of your bones.We talk about the connection between stress, trauma, and physical degeneration; how the nervous system affects hormone balance; and why rebuilding bone health requires more than calcium supplements and heavy weights. Dr. Duffy explains that bone loss is rarely an isolated condition — it's a downstream effect of a body that's inflamed, depleted, stressed, or biochemically out of balance.This episode will give you hope, validation, and a deeper understanding of how to support your bones from the inside out.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe biochemical and cellular drivers of bone lossHow stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation affect bone-buildingWhy inflammation and oxidative stress accelerate aging and degenerationHow gut health influences nutrient absorption and hormone balanceThe role of mitochondria in energy, healing, and bone remodelingHow emotions and past experiences impact physical healthWhy restoring internal balance must come before advanced therapiesPractical, everyday steps to support your healing and strengthen your bonesAction Steps You Can Take TodaySupport your gut with whole foods, hydration, minerals, and fiber-rich meals.Regulate your nervous system through deep breathing, meditation, grounding, or yoga.Reduce inflammatory loads by limiting sugar, alcohol, processed oils, and stress.Strengthen your mitochondria with sunlight, movement, quality sleep, and clean nutrition.Address emotional stress or unresolved trauma that keeps the body in survival mode.Incorporate minerals and antioxidants for cellular support (magnesium, potassium, trace minerals).Seek functional testing to understand hormones, oxidative stress, gut health, and inflammation markers.Resources & LinksLearn more about Dr. Aimee Duffy: https://www.aimeeduffymd.com/Debi Robinson Wellness: https://debirobinson.comHealthy Gut Healthy Bones Program: https://debirobinson.com/healthy-gut-healthy-bones/Debi's TakeawayYour bones are not the problem — they are the result of what's happening inside your body. Bone loss is a message, not a failure. When you reduce inflammation, strengthen your mitochondria, heal your gut, regulate your stress, nourish your cells, and support your emotional wellbeing, your bones receive the signal that it's finally safe to rebuild. Healing begins the moment your internal environment becomes supportive of repair.

Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in five men over 50 globally, with hip fracture rates projected to double by 2050 due to aging populations and inadequate treatment Fewer than half of hip fracture patients worldwide receive osteoporosis treatment, despite evidence that coordinated fracture liaison services effectively prevent secondary fractures and reduce mortality rates Calcium and vitamin D3 work synergistically for bone strength, but many people struggle to convert vitamin D3 into its active form due to impaired enzyme function within cells Bones require collagen for elasticity and flexibility, not just calcium. Ideally, one-third of protein intake should come from collagen sources like bone broth or gelatinous meats Resistance training two to three times weekly significantly strengthens bones, particularly at the hip and spine, while low-impact activities like walking provide insufficient stimulus for bone growth

Depression is something that affects many people. However, it doesn't have to be a lifelong struggle. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Achina Stein, a leading expert in functional medicine psychiatry, and Silvia Covelli, founder of the Healing Depression Project, as we explore a truly transformative approach to treating depression.  Silvia shares her 25-year battle with depression and the discovery of the healing power of lifestyle changes and functional medicine. Her inspiring recovery after 25 years of depression proves that there is hope for sustainable healing.  If you or someone you know has been struggling with depression, this episode will shed light on a new path to lasting wellness. Stay tuned for insights on how this groundbreaking program is helping people get the help they need and the promise of relief from depression that many thought was impossible.   "The main message for people who are dealing with depression is that there's a solution, there's a way out. (And it's not that this is a lifetime condition, that there's no cure, only symptom management.) There's a lot of new approaches that are showing a different reality." ~ Silvia Covelli   In this episode: [00:00] - Introduction to Dr. Achina Stein and Silvia Covelli [02:32] - Current state of depression treatment and why conventional methods may fall short [06:44] - How the Healing Depression Project offers a holistic, multi-faceted approach to mental health  [19:01] - The importance of metabolic psychiatry and the ketogenic diet in treating depression and maintaining bone health [28:35] - The success of the 30-day Healing Depression Project program and application process   Resources mentioned - Osteoporosis exercises to strengthen your bones and prevent fractures - tinyurl.com/osteoporosisexercises - The Healing Depression Project - www.healingdepressionproject.com - Dr. Achina Stein's website - AchinasteindoHome - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/healing.depressionproject/ - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/healing-depression-project/ - Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/HealingDepressionProject   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.

Today we are lookinga back and repeating a hot topic we discussed back in May. We are wading into a very controversial topic, osteoporosis, where guidelines for exercise tend to be vague at best. Today we touch on what it is, some general guidelines and ways to keep clients active when flexion and rotation are contraindicated. Join the conversation to see if we can make progress at developing a better answer for clients who are recently diagnosed and trying to figure out how to stay active. This is part 1, in next week's session, we discuss programming and client management strategies.Moving Conversation Socials  Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6  Email: movingconvos@gmail.com IG: @movingconvos FB: Moving Conversations  Brian IG: @fit4lifedc FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/   Nora IG: nora.s.john.7 FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7 

Karen shares her personal journey with osteoporosis. What distinguishes it from osteopenia? How are DEXA T-scores interpreted? Why does early screening matter? She covers lifestyle and nutrition, hormone considerations, and medication options.Visit our website itchyandbitchy.com to read blog posts on the many topics we have covered on the show.

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. This is an incredible community he has created where he helps people—especially midlife women—reverse bone loss, optimize hormones, and reclaim their strength and vitality through an evidence-based, root-cause approach. Dr. Doug is in the functional medicine space. And he has a special message for you: osteoporosis is not a life sentence, and conventional medicine isn't your only option. Remember that. 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. (NBI, nbihealth.com) and NBI Pharmaceuticals. He received numerous US FDA Orphan Drug Designations for potentially treating rare diseases using natural products through his company. This means that the FDA gives the encourages him to  continue to develop drugs and biologics that are intended to treat, diagnose, or prevent rare diseases or conditions.  Dr. Neustadt hosts the Delivering Health podcast, which is also really great. He is also a Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation Corporate Advisory Roundtable member. And has written four books and over 100 research reviews. He was even recognized by Elsevier as a Top Ten Cited Author in the world for his work. This is huge.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Susan Brown, medical anthropologist, clinical nutritionist, and founder of Better Bones, to unravel the truth behind modern osteoporosis care. We explore how the DEXA scan became the gold standard—despite its limitations—and why so many women are being mislabeled as “high risk” when the full picture of bone strength has never been evaluated.Dr. Brown brings a rare combination of science, global anthropology, and decades of clinical research to explain why bone density is not the only indicator of fracture risk, why stress is one of the biggest bone disruptors, and how minerals, digestion, muscle strength, and lifestyle patterns create a much more accurate blueprint of true bone health.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, confused, or frightened by a diagnosis, this episode will help you breathe again—and understand your bones in an entirely new way.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy DEXA scans are often misleading, especially for petite womenThe history of osteoporosis and how its definition was createdThe 20 essential nutrients your bones require dailyWhy chronic stress and cortisol silently dissolve boneHow muscle strength reflects bone strengthThe surprising accuracy of ancient healing systems like AyurvedaWhy heavy lifting is not the only path to stronger bonesHow digestion, mineral balance, and oxidative stress influence bone remodelingHow to build confidence and reduce fear after an osteoporosis diagnosisAction Steps You Can Take TodayReduce stress daily through breathing, meditation, nature walks, or groundingSupport digestion to improve nutrient absorptionAdd bone-supportive nutrients, including magnesium, vitamin K2, trace minerals, and potassium-rich foodsBuild muscle gradually using movements that feel safe and functionalShift toward alkaline-leaning eating patterns with more fruits and vegetablesGet your Vitamin D and hormone levels checkedLearn the “witness practice” to observe thoughts instead of internalizing fearExplore your medical osteoporosis workup to uncover underlying causesResources & LinksBetter Bones Website: https://betterbones.comHealthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramStronger Bones Lifestyle Programs & ResourcesDebi's TakeawayYou are so much more than a T-score. Your bones are alive, responsive, adaptable, and deeply influenced by how you eat, move, think, and live. Don't let fear of a diagnosis shape the rest of your life. When you nourish your body, calm your nervous system, and support your digestion and mineral balance, your bones can—and will—respond. Healing is possible.

The lads sit down with Mary Bouxsein to explore SABRE — the landmark project aiming to make BMD a validated regulatory endpoint in osteoporosis trials. Mary walks us through how her team brought together data from more than 160,000 patients, why this could transform the speed and ethics of future drug development, and what it means for equity and patient care. A big conversation with one of the true leaders in the field — and a glimpse into a future where better treatments reach people faster. Mary Bouxsein is the Maurice E. Mueller Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Harvard Med School and Co-lead of the Study to Advance BMD as a Regulatory Endpoint (SABRE).

An unfortunately all too common way to lose your autonomy and stop living before you die, and to die sooner and more painfully, is to suffer an osteoporotic fracture in your old age.  The time to prevent that from happening to you in your 80s is right now.  And it's not about calcium, vitamin D, or even bone mineral density.  Most of what you've heard about bone health as you age is wrong or not enough.  Let's change that, because the world needs you to show up more as you get older, not less.Visit my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comAre you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!Join the Waitlist HereCome visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

Osteoporosis is not just a women's disease — 1 in 5 men over 50 will experience a bone fracture from thinning bones, yet few are ever screened or treated for it Men are more likely than women to die after a hip fracture, largely due to slower recovery, complications, and missed diagnoses that leave bone loss untreated until it's too late International guidelines now use a unified bone density standard for both sexes, ensuring men receive accurate diagnoses and proper treatment for low bone mass Lifestyle and hormonal balance — not medication — are the real keys to preserving bone strength, with weight-bearing exercise, sunlight exposure, and nutrient-rich foods leading the way Bone-supportive nutrients like vitamins D and K2, magnesium, collagen, and creatine help your body rebuild strong, flexible bone tissue naturally while protecting against fractures

Absolutely no one warned us that midlife would be this loud—hot flashes, achy joints, bone density, belly fat, all competing for attention at once. And yet the message women still get is, “This is just how it is.”In this episode, I'm joined by orthopedic sports surgeon and longevity visionary Dr. Vonda Wright, author of Unbreakable: A Woman's Guide to Aging with Power. We dig into what it really takes to stay strong, mobile, and independent for decades—so you can carry your own groceries at 80 and stay out of the nursing home.We cover:Why bones are an endocrine organ (yes, your skeleton is talking to the rest of your body)The truth about osteoporosis, fracture risk, and why waiting until 65 for a DEXA is a terrible strategyHow to safely use impact, heavy lifting, and sprint intervals even if you've been told to “be careful”The role of estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D in bone and muscle healthProtein, leucine, vegan vs animal sources—and why under-proteining is keeping you weak and inflamedWeighted vests, jumping, Pilates and yoga: what actually moves the needle for strength and longevityIf you're a woman in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond—and you want denser bones, stronger muscles, better balance, and a body that can keep up with the life you want—this conversation is your blueprint.

We all know how important it is to stay strong and agile as we age. But how do we do that without putting too much strain on the body through heavy exercise? In today's episode, fitness expert Joan Pagano joins me to dive into an incredibly effective training tool for improving agility, balance, and bone strength.  Joan shares her expert knowledge and practical tips, and we discuss how step training is key to reducing fracture risk by strengthening bones and improving mobility. I love Joan's approach because, in addition to exercise, it prepares your body for real-world situations. The training enhances muscle strength, bone health, balance, and coordination, helping you avoid falls and navigate daily life with confidence. At the end of this episode, Joan gives us a sneak peek into a step training class she'll be hosting on December 11th. For a fresh, fun way to improve your strength, you won't want to miss this one!    "Step training is a really fresh approach to another aspect of fall prevention for osteoporosis, to prevent falls and fractures…And it helps prepare you for real life." ~ Joan Pagano   In this episode: - [02:09] - Agility training for fall prevention and functional movement - [08:21] - Stability benefits from step training - [12:20] - Demonstration: step exercises for better balance and strength  - [19:42] - Step training and its impact on daily activities (tripping hazards) - [22:09] - Proper posture when doing step training and other exercises - [25:15] - Joan as an example of what fitness can do for you - [28:47] - How to work with Joan to improve your strength - [30:28] - How to choose the right fitness trainer    Resources mentioned - Joan's class on 12/11 Step Training for Agility, Balance, and Bone Strength - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/step-training-for-agility-balance-and-bone-strength - Joan's Strength Training for Osteoporosis 4-Session Class - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/strength-training-for-osteoporosis-4-week-class-replay  - Joan's second 4-session class - More Osteoporosis Strength Training Exercises - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/strength-training-for-osteoporosis-new-4-week-class - Joan's website. https://www.joanpaganofitness.com/. - Get quality supplements at Margie's Fullscript dispensary for a discounted price - https://tinyurl.com/supplementsforless   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.

Send us a textA fracture rarely starts with drama. It's often a quiet misstep, a stumble off a curb, or a slip on a throw rug—and that's exactly why bone health deserves our full attention. We're taking a clear, practical tour through osteoporosis and osteopenia: what they are, why they're “silent,” and how to get ahead of them with smart screening, daily habits, and targeted treatments.We unpack the biology of bone remodeling—osteoclasts that break down old bone and osteoblasts that build new—and the outsized role estrogen plays as it declines through perimenopause and menopause. You'll hear exactly who should get a DEXA scan at 65 and who needs it earlier based on risk factors like prior adult fractures, long-term steroid use, low body weight, family history, or conditions like hyperthyroidism, celiac disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. We demystify T-scores versus Z-scores so you can read your results with confidence and know where osteopenia ends and osteoporosis begins.From there, we get tactical. Nutrition that actually moves the needle, weight-bearing exercise and resistance training you'll actually do, and when medication is actually warranted.  We round it out with fall prevention you can implement today: balance training, better lighting, grab bars, safer footwear, and a clutter-free path through your home. If you care about staying strong, steady, and independent, this conversation gives you the tools. 

Drs. Camacho and Lewiecki discuss emerging osteoporosis therapies that are revolutionizing bone health treatment, with promising developments like oral parathyroid hormone medications and dual-action anabolic agents that challenge traditional injection-based approaches. Biosimilars, particularly for denosumab, are expanding patient access by offering highly similar, potentially more affordable alternatives to brand-name drugs, signaling a transformative era in osteoporosis care.

The holidays are meant for joy, connection, and celebration — but for many women managing bone health issues with osteoporosis or osteopenia, this season can feel stressful and full of temptation. In this solo episode, Debi shares her Holiday Survival Guide for Osteoporosis, offering empowering tips to help you enjoy the festivities without compromising your bone health.You'll learn how to make smart food swaps, manage stress, and keep inflammation down while still indulging in the flavors and fun of the holidays.

Drs. Lewiecki and Camacho discuss sequential therapy in osteoporosis as a critical strategy that involves strategically switching between anabolic and antiresorptive treatments to maximize bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk. By carefully transitioning between different drug classes (eg, romosozumab; teriparatide; denosumab), clinicians can optimize patient outcomes and address the evolving needs of individuals with bone health challenges.

In Part Two of our conversation, Chris Butler dives into the action steps: the role of diet, sunlight, exercise, and environmental factors in bone health.

An unfortunately all too common way to lose your autonomy and stop living before you die, and to die sooner and more painfully, is to suffer an osteoporotic fracture in your old age.  The time to prevent that from happening to you in your 80s is right now.  And it's not about calcium, vitamin D, or even bone mineral density.  Most of what you've heard about bone health as you age is wrong or not enough.  Let's change that, because the world needs you to show up more as you get older, not less.Come to my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comAre you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!Join the Waitlist HereCome visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

What if your mouth could reveal your hormonal health, fertility status, and even your brain's risk for Alzheimer's? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Leedia Riman, a biological and integrative dentist redefining how we care for our teeth. She reveals the science behind estrogen receptors in the mouth, jawbone, and salivary glands—and how they link oral health to menopause, fertility, and brain aging. We explore the oral microbiome and how an imbalance can spark inflammation that spreads to the brain, gut, and even the placenta. Dr. Leedia explains how testing your oral microbiome can flag disease risks early, and why every woman over 35 should understand what's happening inside her mouth. This episode isn't just for women—oral inflammation also impacts male fertility, bone density, and long-term health. From dry mouth to dementia, pregnancy gingivitis to biofilm mapping, this is one of the most eye-opening conversations we've had on The Neuro Experience.*** About Dr. Riman: Dr. Leedia Riman is a Beverly Hills biological and integrative dentist who connects oral health with whole-body wellness. She specializes in conservative, biomimetic cosmetic dentistry, gum and bone health, and a root-cause approach—with a focus on how hormonal shifts, especially in women, affect the mouth and jaw. Dr. Leedia coined “Responsible Cosmetic Dentistry” to describe her philosophy of long-term, minimally invasive, personalized care.

Drs. Camacho and Lewiecki discuss trabecular bone score (TBS) as a groundbreaking approach to assessing fracture risk by evaluating bone quality beyond traditional bone density measurements. By integrating TBS with FRAX® and showing promise across diverse patient populations, this innovative technique helps clinicians identify patients at risk of fractures who might otherwise be overlooked by standard diagnostic methods.

Could fasting be one of the most overlooked tools for improving bone health, supporting osteoporosis and osteopenia, and strengthening your metabolism? In this episode, functional bone health expert Debi Robinson sits down with Registered Dietitian Ashley Bizzell to explore how intermittent fasting and autophagy support not only metabolic healing but also healthier, stronger bones.Ashley shares her path from traditional nutrition roles to functional metabolic medicine, where she now helps women reduce inflammation, balance hormones, improve insulin sensitivity, and support healthier aging.Together, Debi and Ashley break down how fasting influences bone density, why cellular renewal is essential for osteoporosis and osteopenia, and how women can safely integrate fasting into a bone-supportive lifestyle.They also dive into the Fasting Mimicking Diet developed by Dr. Valter Longo, explaining how it offers the benefits of fasting without full deprivation while supporting energy, gut health, and bone strength.What You'll LearnThe difference between fasting, starvation, and metabolic healing for women with osteoporosis or osteopeniaHow fasting activates autophagy and supports cellular repair that strengthens bonesThe connection between metabolism, insulin resistance, inflammation, and bone lossWhy hormonal balance is essential for maintaining and improving bone densityHow the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) works and why it can be a safe strategy for bone healthThe role of hydration, nutrient density, and gut health during fasting for optimal bone supportAction StepsStart small: Begin with a gentle 12–14 hour overnight fast to support metabolic repair and bone renewal.Focus on hydration: Keep water and herbal teas flowing to support your metabolism, gut, and bones.Nourish wisely: Choose whole, nutrient-dense foods with plenty of healthy fats and minerals your bones need.Support your gut: A healthy microbiome improves nutrient absorption and helps strengthen bones from the inside out.Explore FMD: Consider guided fasting options like the Fasting Mimicking Diet to support cellular health and bone density.Resources & LinksLearn about the Fasting Mimicking Diet (ProLon) → prolonlife.comExplore Elra Health and L-Nutra Health → lnutrahealth.comListen to more episodes → Stronger Bones Lifestyle PodcastBuild strength from within → Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramFollow Debi on Instagram → @debi_robinson_yogaDebi's TakeawayTrue healing is built on rhythm, rest, and renewal — not restriction.

What if chronic inflammation, mold exposure, or unresolved emotional stress were silently accelerating osteoporosis or osteopenia?In this eye-opening episode, functional bone health expert Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Kelly McCann, a leading functional MD and environmental medicine specialist, to uncover the hidden triggers behind bone loss that most women never hear about.Dr. McCann explains how mast cell activation (MCAS), mold toxicity, and environmental chemicals can weaken bones, disrupt hormones, and fuel chronic inflammation. Together, she and Debi explore the deeper terrain of bone health—how your immune system, nervous system, and even emotional experiences shape your risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia.This episode goes far beyond calcium and vitamin D. It's about understanding the environmental, biochemical, and emotional roots of bone loss so you can build strong, resilient bones for life.What You'll LearnHow mast cell activation (MCAS) contributes to inflammation that accelerates bone lossThe link between mold exposure, toxins, and the development of osteoporosis or osteopeniaWhy your symptoms may be communication, not malfunction, especially when it comes to bone healthHow emotional stress, trauma, and dysregulation of the nervous system can weaken bonesPractical, actionable ways to reduce toxic load and support bone densityHow to create balance physically, emotionally, and energetically to strengthen your bones from the inside outAction Steps Audit your environment: Look for hidden mold, water damage, or chemical exposures that may be fueling inflammation and bone loss.Clean up your kitchen: Swap non-stick pans for stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic to reduce toxin exposure that affects bone health.Hydrate and nourish: Drink filtered water and build meals around whole, anti-inflammatory foods to support osteoporosis and osteopenia.Reduce daily toxic load: Avoid synthetic fragrances, plastic bottles, and harsh cleaners that may disrupt hormones and bone density.Calm your stress response: Use breathwork, meditation, or gentle yoga to regulate your nervous system and protect your bones.Seek functional support: Work with a practitioner if you suspect mold toxicity, MCAS, or chronic inflammation impacting your bones.Resources & LinksLearn more about Dr. Kelly McCann: The Spring CenterListen to more episodes of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle PodcastStrengthen from the inside out: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramVisit debirobinson.com for resources and upcoming eventsDebi's TakeawayBone health is about much more than nutrients—it's about your environment, your stress levels, and how your body communicates with you.As Dr. McCann reminds us, inflammation, toxins, and emotional stress can erode bone strength just as powerfully as nutritional deficiencies. When you listen to your body, address hidden triggers, and create safety in your inner world, your bones can finally begin to rebuild.Your body isn't failing—it's speaking. The more you listen, the stronger your bones can become.

Did you know that over 90% of hip fractures result from falls? The good news is that you can significantly reduce your risk, and in this episode, I share four proven ways to do so. From simple balance exercises to strengthening your toes, these practical strategies can help you stay confident, independent, and fracture-free. I'll walk you through the latest research from the World Health Organization (WHO) showing how balance and resistance training can reduce falls by up to 42%, explain the science behind dual tasking (a fun and brain-boosting way to improve stability), and reveal the surprising connection between toe strength and fall risk. You'll also learn how to make your home a safer place with small changes that make a big difference. For anyone looking to maintain strong bones and a steady balance, this episode has actionable tips to help you move with confidence at any age.   "The thing with balance is if you don't use it, you lose it. As we get old, we don't maintain our balance, but we can. And we can improve it by challenging it." ~ Margie Bissinger   In this episode: [00:32] - What WHO research reveals about exercise and fall reduction [02:53] - Static, dynamic, and moving balance exercises explained [04:33] - Dual tasking vs. multitasking: how to train your brain and body [10:00] - Toe strength: the hidden key to stability [13:58] - The Toe Pro: a simple device for stronger toes [18:27] - Home environment safety: easy fall-proofing tips [22:47] - Outdoor safety and balance tips [24:28] - Bonus protection: using hip protectors for added safety   Resources mentioned - Get quality supplements at Margie's Fullscript dispensary for a discounted price - https://tinyurl.com/supplementsforless  - ToePro - https://tinyurl.com/strongertoes - coupon code for 10% off is Happy-bones - New Ways to Strengthen Your Foot and Ankle class with Dr. Claudia Tamas - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/new-ways-to-strengthen-your-foot-and-ankle-to-prevent-on-demand-class - Balance and Brain Boost Classes with Cammy Dennis - https://tinyurl.com/balanceandbrainboost - Swanwick Anti-Blue LED night lights -https://tinyurl.com/goodnightlights - Hip protectors - https://tinyurl.com/hipprotectors - Happy Bones Club - Margie's monthly 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.

¿El ejercicio puede prevenir la osteoporosis? ¿Qué tipo de entrenamiento realmente mejora la densidad ósea? ¿Y hasta qué punto el ejercicio puede “curar” una osteoporosis ya diagnosticada?En este episodio charlamos con Daniel Canseco, licenciado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte, especialista en ejercicio terapéutico y fundador de DCM Readapta, sobre el papel del entrenamiento de fuerza en la salud ósea. Hablamos de por qué el ejercicio es una herramienta fundamental —pero no mágica— en la prevención y tratamiento de la osteoporosis, cómo debe adaptarse según la edad y el estado físico, qué tipo de ejercicios son más eficaces y qué errores se cometen con frecuencia. Además, reflexionamos sobre el papel del movimiento en mujeres menopáusicas, la importancia de llegar al fallo muscular, los riesgos de no entrenar fuerza y cómo diseñar rutinas seguras y efectivas para cada caso. 

Your bones, brain, and muscles are having the same conversation—and nutrition is the translator. Duke orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein breaks down how midlife hormone shifts accelerate bone loss, cartilage wear, and muscle decline, and why training + food choices can improve all three at once. We cover earlier DEXA timing, the bone–brain crosstalk (osteocalcin, agility, balance), and a practical plan: progressive strength, safe impact/jump options (step drops, heel drops, rebounders), grip and toe work for fall prevention, and weighted vests/rucking basics. On the nutrition side, we get specific: prioritize protein, aim for food-first calcium, and use targeted support where appropriate—vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium glycinate, collagen, and turmeric—to lower inflammation, protect joints, and support cognition. Expect clear modifications for cranky knees/shoulders, plus why consistent movement is linked to reduced dementia risk. This episode is your integrated blueprint to build bone, protect your brain, and keep muscle on your frame—so you stay strong, steady, and independent for decades. Actionable, hopeful, and BS-free—use this episode to build stronger bones, happier joints, and real confidence for the next 20 years.Follow Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein at https://www.instagram.com/jocelyn_wittstein_md/Her book, The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan, is available at booksellers._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

Osteoporosis affects 10 million Americans, and research shows resistance training effectively builds bone density by creating mechanical stress that signals bone-building cells to strengthen skeletal structure Weightlifting (80% to 85% of your 1 rep max) performed two to three times weekly produces the greatest bone density gains, while walking and swimming provide insufficient force for bone strengthening Essential exercises include squats, deadlifts, incline pushups, hip rotations, and chair squats, progressing gradually in intensity while maintaining proper form to minimize injury risk Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, also known as KAATSU in Japan, enhances bone formation markers even at low intensities, allowing effective muscle and bone strengthening without heavy weights or pain Consistency matters most. Research shows that training for one year or more significantly improves bone mineral density, cortical thickness, and overall bone geometry across all ages and genders

Egg yolk proteins influence bone health by reducing bone breakdown and encouraging new bone growth, offering natural support against osteoporosis Research shows that certain egg yolk compounds shut down harmful “switches” in bone-destroying cells, helping prevent fractures and bone fragility The smallest protein fragments in eggs were found to be the most powerful, easily entering cells to trigger bone-building activity One egg yolk compound not only protected bones but also repaired fractures and improved strength in models of age-related bone loss and brittle-bone disease Choosing pasture-raised, low-linoleic acid eggs and combining them with collagen-rich foods and key nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K2 helps build stronger bones and maintain independence as you age
