Andrea and Marianne sit down with functional medicine expert Chris Butler to break down what osteoporosis really is, why it's showing up earlier in women, and the hormonal shifts driving bone loss. Chris explains why women are affected differently than men, what early signs to watch for, and how to start protecting your bones in your 20s, 30s, and 40s. This episode lays the foundation for understanding osteoporosis—and why prevention starts far earlier than most of us think.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sistertipsters.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠**Follow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sister Tipsters on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠***Shop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Favorites⁠

Are you aware of the hidden dangers lurking in your environment that could be silently impacting your bone health? In today's episode, I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jill Carnahan, a leading functional medicine consultant and survivor of cancer, Crohn's disease, and toxic mold illness. We're diving into a topic that is both fascinating and incredibly important when it comes to your bone health: the impact of mold on your bones. Dr. Jill brings a unique perspective on how mold can trigger systemic issues that contribute to bone dysfunction. She discusses the importance of identifying the root causes of bone health issues. We explore how mold exposure can lead to chronic inflammation, impact bone strength, and even disrupt immune system function, ultimately contributing to the development of osteoporosis. Dr. Jill shares her insights on recognizing mold symptoms, how to test for exposure, and what steps you can take to remove it from your environment. If you think mold might be affecting your health, this episode is a must-listen!    "If you do a timeline…and all of a sudden you see these factors in your life that could have changed your health, and all of a sudden you had symptoms after, they can be clues as to what in your environment could be contributing to your illness." ~ Dr. Jill Carnahan, MD, ABIHM, ABoIM, IFMCP   In this episode: - [02:01] - How mold contributes to bone dysfunction - [04:16] - Recognizing common symptoms of mold exposure - [08:15] - Testing methods for identifying mold toxicity - [14:58] - Effective mold detoxification strategies - [20:49] - The shocking link between mold and dementia - [21:53] - How to prevent mold buildup in your home - [25:57] - Dr. Jill's inspiring perspective on healing   Resources mentioned - Dr. Jill's website - http://jillcarnahan.com  - Dr. Jill's book - Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith - https://readunexpected.com/ - MORE Natural Approaches to Osteoporosis & Bone Health Summit - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-bone-health-summit  - Osteoporosis exercises to strengthen your bones and prevent fractures - http://tinyurl.com/osteoporosisexercises    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.

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.

Neither of us is a doctor, and you shouldn't take anecdotal evidence as proof of anything. I asked Perplexity.ai about the issue, and it said:There is evidence linking veganism and osteoporosis, though the relationship is nuanced and influenced by diet quality and nutritional adequacy.* Increased Risk with Poorly Planned Diets: Multiple extensive studies and systematic reviews have found that vegans—especially those consuming diets low in calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, protein, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids—tend to have lower bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of both osteoporosis and bone fractures compared to omnivores. This elevated risk has been observed in major cohort studies, such as the EPIC-Oxford study, which reported a significantly higher risk of fractures among vegans even after adjusting for body mass index and lifestyle factors.* Nutritional Deficiencies Matter: The increased risk is primarily attributed to common deficits in key nutrients critical for bone health, such as calcium, vitamin D, and B12, which are less prevalent in plant-based foods unless supplemented or fortified. Protein intake is also sometimes lower in vegan regimens, which can further impact bone strength.* Well-Planned Vegan Diets & Positive Outcomes: Recent research shows that a “well-planned” vegan diet—emphasizing adequate intake of calcium, vitamin D, B12, protein, and other bone-related nutrients (often through fortified foods or supplements)—does not significantly increase the risk of osteoporosis compared to omnivorous diets. Some studies have found that a healthful, plant-based diet may even reduce the risk of osteoporosis due to increased intakes of bone-protective nutrients like vitamin K, magnesium, and antioxidants, as well as because such diets tend to produce a lower acid load, which may reduce bone resorption.* Physical Activity Modifies the Risk: There is also evidence that resistance exercise (such as weightlifting or strength training) can improve bone strength in vegans, potentially offsetting some of the increased risk associated with plant-based diets.* Summary Table: Veganism and Osteoporosis RiskType of DietBone Health Risk FactorsOsteoporosis/Fracture Risk* Unbalanced vegan* Low calcium, D, B12, protein, zinc, omega-3s* Increased fracture/osteoporosis risk* Well-planned vegan* Supplemented/fortified nutrients, diverse plant foods* Similar risk as a balanced omnivorous diet or slightly reduced risk* Omnivorous* Generally, a higher intake of bone-critical nutrients* Standard baseline riskKey takeaways:* Vegans who do not carefully plan their diet are at higher risk of osteoporosis and fractures.* With mindful planning and supplementation, a vegan diet can support good bone health.* Ensuring sufficient calcium, vitamin D, B12, protein, and engaging in regular weight-bearing exercise are crucial for vegans to minimize their risk of osteoporosis.Sponsors1.

¿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

In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth dives deep into the truth about osteoporosis—and why it's not just about weak bones.Get the full lecture notes Most people think osteoporosis only affects bone strength, but the reality is far more complex. Inside your bones lives your bone marrow, the powerful engine that creates stem cells, red blood cells, and immune cells. When bone health declines, so does your immune system.What You'll Learn:Why bone loss starts silently and how chronic inflammation speeds it upThe link between bone marrow and immune health—and why both weaken togetherHow inflammation and aging cause “marrow fat” buildup, leading to more diseaseWhat “inflammaging” really means and how it drives chronic illnessThe truth about bone density scans (DEXA) and what they missHow new lab tests like the CTX blood marker reveal early bone lossThe Functional Medicine approach to reversing inflammation and restoring bone marrow functionWhy women in perimenopause and menopause face faster bone decline—and how to fight back naturallyKey Takeaways:Your bone marrow makes your immune system.Chronic inflammation destroys both bone and immunity.Bone marrow fat = weaker health and faster aging.Functional medicine looks at the root cause, not just the bone density number.You can rebuild bone strength and immune power naturally with the right strategy.Tune in and learn how your bones are more alive than you think — and how protecting your marrow could be the key to living strong for life.To schedule a Zoom consultation, visit www.DrHughWegwerth.com

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

Send us a textYour bones are silently changing beneath the surface, and for women entering menopause, that change accelerates at an alarming rate. Did you know you could lose up to 30% of your bone mass in the first 5-7 years after menopause? This silent thief works without symptoms until a fracture occurs, often when it's too late for prevention.In this episode, Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker reads Chapter 12 of her book, "The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Menopause," and offers additional insights and tips you won't find in the book.This isn't just about preventing fractures – it's about maintaining independence and quality of life as you age. Breaking a hip after 65 carries a 40% one-year mortality rate, yet this risk is preventable with proper screening and treatment. Whether you're approaching menopause, recently diagnosed with bone loss, or simply planning for healthy aging, this episode provides crucial knowledge to keep your skeleton strong for decades to come.Support the show

La Osteopenia y la osteoporosis son palabras conocidas para muchas personas mayores. El diagnóstico de una pérdida grave de masa ósea, como lo es la osteoporosis, puede causar mucha ansiedad, ya que esta condición generalmente significa que los huesos de una persona se han debilitado y son más propensos a quebrarse o fracturarse. La osteoporosis es reconocida como enfermedad específica desde épocas remotas, habiendo sido descrita ya por Hipócrates. En el diccionario se le describe como enfermedad ósea que se caracteriza por una disminución de la densidad del tejido óseo y tiene como consecuencia una fragilidad exagerada de los huesos.

Send us a textEvery October 18th marks World Menopause Day, highlighting a transition affecting over a billion women worldwide who spend at least a third to half of their lives in this phase. Despite its universal nature, menopause remains poorly understood and inadequately addressed in many healthcare settings.Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker walks you through the menopause journey in this episode. She touches on the increasing severity of health issues during menopause, including metabolic syndrome and hypertension, which compound cognitive challenges like word-finding difficulties and "brain fog."Dr. Thacker will focus on the key to navigating menopause - establishing care with a knowledgeable women's healthcare clinician who can create an individualized approach based on a woman's unique symptoms, medical history, and preferences. By addressing menopause proactively rather than reactively, women can minimize symptoms while protecting their long-term health and vitality during this important life stage.

You've heard the message: lift heavy to build strong bones. But what if that advice— when done too soon or without proper form — is leading more women to injury than strength?In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with Carl Reeder, a functional movement specialist and strength coach, to unpack what it really means to build strength safely when you have osteoporosis or osteopenia.They dive into the difference between lifting heavier and lifting smarter, how to avoid common mistakes, and why true strength begins long before you ever pick up a dumbbell.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy “lift heavy” isn't one-size-fits-all advice for women with osteoporosis or osteopeniaThe importance of connection, communication, and control in building strength with women having bone health issuesHow the back body chain supports posture, balance, and bone strengthThe difference between safe strength and forced intensityHow to avoid injuries through awareness and progressionSimple ways to reconnect with your body before increasing loadAction StepsFocus on connection before load. Build awareness of your posture, movement, and alignment before adding weight.Train your back body. Strengthen your glutes, hamstrings, and spine to support your bones and balance.Slow down your movements. Time under tension builds more strength—and better form—than rushing reps.Listen to your body. Mild soreness means adaptation; sharp pain means stop.Work with a specialist. A qualified trainer or yoga therapist can help you progress safely and avoid unnecessary injuries.Resources and LinksLearn more: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramWork one-on-one with Debi → Book a ConsultationFollow Carl Reeder for movement and strength training resourcesListen to more episodes → Stronger Bones Lifestyle PodcastDebi's Takeaway“You can't strengthen what you're not connected to.”When you move with awareness and respect your body's limits, you build not just stronger muscles—but a stronger foundation for life. Safe strength is strong strength.

On episode 716 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, we're diving deep into a topic that's crucial as we age: bone health and osteoporosis. Coach Allan is joined by Dr. John Neustadt, a seasoned researcher, clinician, and author of Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis. Dr. Neustadt breaks down the science behind why our bones are much more than just the framework of our bodies—they're living tissues connected to everything from our hormone health to our immune system. In this conversation, you'll learn why bone density tests don't tell the full story, how to truly reduce your fracture risk, and what daily choices can dramatically improve your bone health. Dr. Neustadt explores holistic approaches—highlighting how the right exercise routine and following a Mediterranean-style diet can not only strengthen your bones, but also lower your risk for heart disease, dementia, and cancer. Whether you're already concerned about osteoporosis or just want to future-proof your health, this episode is packed with actionable advice, insights on the surprising connection between chronic inflammation and bone loss, and tips on training safely and consistently as you get older.

When it comes to bone health, we often talk about calcium, vitamin D, or strength training — but few people realize that strong bones actually begin in the gut. In this solo episode, Debi Robinson explores one of the most overlooked root causes of bone loss and osteoporosis: poor digestion.Through years of working with women with osteoporosis and osteopenia — and interpreting countless stool labs—Debi has seen a clear pattern: when digestion falters, bones weaken. Because the truth is, it's not just what you eat—it's what you absorb.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy digestion is the foundation of bone healthThe step-by-step “mouth to bones” process of nutrient absorptionSigns your digestive system may not be working properlyHow poor digestion and inflammation trigger bone lossThe role of the gut-bone axis in osteoporosis and osteopeniaSimple, practical steps to support healthy digestion and stronger bonesAction StepsSlow down when eating. Take deep breaths and eat in a calm, mindful state to support proper digestion.Chew your food thoroughly. Digestion begins in the mouth—help your enzymes do their job.Stay hydrated, but skip large drinks during meals. Avoid diluting stomach acid.Add more fiber. Aim for 30 grams daily to support your microbiome and regular bowel movements.Consider functional testing. A stool lab can uncover the root cause of poor digestion or nutrient malabsorption.Resources and LinksLearn more: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramWork with Debi one-on-one → Book a ConsultationMore episodes of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast → Listen Here

Are you sure you're measuring your fitness the right way? If you had doubts about BMI, protein intake, or whether certain workouts are truly safe, this episode clears it all up. Today's episode is a Q&A episode. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher answer your questions across four different topics. They cover smarter ways to track progress, how much protein your body actually needs, the safety of strength training with osteoporosis, and why slow-motion training delivers powerful results. Tune in to learn how to track your success more effectively, fuel your body the right way, and train smarter for long-term strength and health. Question 1: What Metrics Should We Track for Exercising Success? Why BMI isn't the best measure of success. Dr. Fisher explains that BMI is just height and weight—it doesn't account for muscle mass. That's why a “high” BMI might actually mean you're stronger and healthier, not overweight. Dr. Fisher emphasizes that real progress comes from strength training, eating whole foods, and daily movement. When you focus on what you can control, the number on the scale becomes less important. Dr. Fisher reveals how bioelectrical impedance analysis goes beyond weight to measure fat mass and lean muscle. This gives a far clearer picture of your health than BMI or a simple scale ever could. Question 2: How Much Protein Do You Really Need? Why protein isn't as risky as many think. Dr. Fisher explains that even at high intakes, there's no solid evidence linking protein to kidney damage. The old warnings about bodybuilders “ruining their kidneys” simply don't hold up. How protein works with strength training. Without resistance training, extra protein won't build muscle. Dr. Fisher makes it clear that strength training is the real driver of growth—protein just fuels the process. Learn the smartest way to eat for strength. Amy and Dr. Fisher highlight the importance of whole proteins with essential amino acids.  When combined with consistent strength training, this creates the perfect formula for building strength and function. Question 3: Is the Exercise Coach Workout Safe for Osteoporosis? Dr. Fisher explains that whether it's a dumbbell, a grocery bag, or a machine, your muscles only know they're working. That means resistance is resistance—what matters is how it's applied. How Exercise Coach makes workouts safer. Amy and Dr. Fisher describe how their exobotic machines control range of motion, eliminate the risk of dropped weights, and are supervised at all times. This creates one of the safest environments possible for anyone with osteopenia or osteoporosis. Learn the science behind the machines. Dr. Fisher reveals how isokinetic, computer-controlled movements keep every rep slow, consistent, and joint-friendly. That precision protects your bones while still pushing your muscles to adapt and grow. Question 4: What Is the Science of Slow-Motion Training? Why explosive movements fall short. Dr. Fisher explains that moving too quickly shifts the load to momentum instead of muscle. That not only reduces effectiveness but also increases the risk of injury. How slow motion maximizes muscle use. By removing momentum, every second of the movement keeps tension on the muscle. This creates a deeper, safer, and more effective workout. Amy shares the true benefit of slowing down. With slow-motion training, you don't just get better results—you also reduce stress on your joints. That means you can build strength while protecting your long-term health.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!
