Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In today's episode, Dr. Heide and I dive into a topic most women don't think about until it becomes a problem: the truth about bone strength, aging, and preventing the kinds of injuries that can dramatically change our future. As winter sets in and the risk of slips, trips, and falls increases, I wanted to have a real conversation about how we can support our bodies from the inside out.Key Highlights:Why women are more prone to falls and fractures (especially hip fractures).The myths about calcium supplements and why calcium alone isn't enough.The importance of vitamin D, K2, and magnesium for bone strength.How movement, especially jumping, rebounding, lifting weights, and unilateral exercises, activates the parathyroid gland to strengthen bones.Why the U.S. has high hip-fracture rates despite heavy calcium supplementation.The role of collagen and strontium in bone remodeling.Personal and client success stories with OsteoStrong and strength training.The message: bone health is built over years, and what you do today determines your mobility, aging, and longevity.Key Takeaways:“Once a woman… gets that hip fracture, your chances of survival for the next three to five years plummet significantly. You just shorten your lifespan dramatically after that hip fracture.” -Kellie Lupsha“Every time you work out, every time you jump up and down… we activate the parathyroid gland, and it really charges up or balances that calcium in our body.” -Dr.Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news markets are awaiting signals from the minutes of the late January Fed meeting.In the US, mortgage applications fell rather sharply last week, down more than -10% from the prior week to be -13% lower than a year ago. A key reason for the sharpish pullback was an unexpected surge in mortgage interest rates which jumped +19 bps to 7.06% (plus points) for the benchmark 30 year fixed loan. That is their highest of 2024. These higher rates reflect the shift in market pricing as the chances of near-term Fed rate cuts recede.Another assessment of Fed rate trajectories will come this morning (8am NZT) when they release the minutes of the FOMC's January meeting. The next Fed meeting isn't until this time next month. (But there is an RBNZ one this time next week.)American retail sales rose +3.0% last week from a year ago at bricks & mortar stores in the Redbook survey. This is barely enough to keep up with inflation, a second straight week like this after nine weeks of significant volume growth. A hesitation was always on the cards.Sharply lower oil prices, and exports at a 14 month high have combined to deliver Japan a sharply lower January trade deficit. Those exports were on the basis of good demand from both the US and China.European consumer sentiment improved marginally in February even if it still remains quite negative - just less negative.In Indonesia, their central bank kept its policy rate unchanged at 6%.In Australia, wages rose +0.9% in the December quarter, and +4.2% for the full year, (marginally more than the CPI rise of +4.1%). That's its highest growth since 2008.The UST 10yr yield starts today at 4.32% and up +6 bps from this time yesterday. Wall Street in its Wednesday trade is down -0.4% on the S&P500. Overnight European markets were very mixed again with Frankfurt up +0.3% and London down -0.7%. Yesterday Tokyo ended its Wednesday session down -0.3%. But Hong Kong rose +1.6% in their Wednesday trade while Shanghai rose +1.0%. The China Securities Regulatory Commission has imposed a restriction that prevents sales in the first and last 30 minutes of trading for prices that are lower, part of increasingly drastic measures to prevent the Chinese stock-market slump from extending into a fourth year. The price of gold will start today down -US$3/oz from yesterday at US$2027/oz.Oil prices are +US$1/bbl firmer at just under US$78/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is up to US$82.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar starts today at just on 61.7 USc and unchanged from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are marginally firmer at 94.3 AUc. Against the euro we are still at 57.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 71.2 and little-changed.The bitcoin price starts today at US$51,382 and down another minor -0.4% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has again been modest at +/- 1.8%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.
