*** Topics Covered 2:53: Estrogen replacement may not be an option for some women... what are the reasons hormone therapy may not be the right fit for someone and what are the options they have to help minimize bone loss and stimulate bone formation if that’s the case? 6:55: Anabolic pathways, DHEA, testosterone 13:07: One of the things you’re currently researching is the complex interaction of women’s sex hormones and IBS… How does gut health affect our hormone levels? 21:31: If we don’t have good gut health, obviously it will affect our ability to absorb nutrients… why is it not always the case that when someone gets blood work completed through their doctor, it’s not always telling of nutrient sufficiency… in fact, there may be a functional deficiency present. How do you know this? How can you tell? 22:30: Sufficiency in the serum doesn’t mean sufficiency inside the cell.

The most effective interventions use one or both in combination. 7:02 - How different sports affect your bones (including tennis) 8:27 - “The exercise program that a person with osteoporosis would do isn’t that different than one that someone that doesn’t have osteoporosis would do” (with the exception of activities that increase fracture) 11:48 - Impact exercises are hard to introduce for those who haven’t done it before 12:22 - Muscle pulls on bone to make them stronger 13:42 - What types of exercise builds bone? Research says resistance training and dynamic impact 14:09 - Swimmers and long-distance running don’t provide varied impact 15:04 - Best rep range and percentage of effort for bone-building? 15:48 - If just starting resistance training… start with good form and lower weight then build from there. 17:22 - The studies that show an effect are more intense in the 5-10 range. 20:45 - Can you target specific areas with exercise, or does bone-building occur universally? Bone response tends to be site-specific. 21:39 - Spine has much more trabecular bone which is much more metabolically active and likely to respond first. Harder in femoral neck. 24:53 - Liftmor study: types of lifts used 26:29 - Two things for preventing fracture? Increase bone strength and reduce applied loads 29:15 - Why it’s tricky to interpret spinal bone density over time? Be wary of big changes in short periods of time. 29:52 - Osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, ankylosing spondylitis… working around. 32:30 - As the risk increases… so too does the need for an exercise physiologist. 33:38 - What is BoneFit? 2-day workshop for exercise physiologists and physical therapists to help reduce risk of fracture. 38:41 - “Twisty or flexy”... a new medical term!

These fields are safe and non-toxic. 10:48 - With PEMF’s, the magnetic fields move in and out of the body, and it’s varying in intensity and time. It’s dynamic. 11:06 - Inverse square law. A magnetic field drops off in intensity very rapidly as you move away from the source of the stimulus. 11:38 - Why all magnetic fields aren’t bad. EMF’s vs. PEMF. PEMF’s don’t heat tissues. That’s why there is no risk. 15:14 - What happens to our cells when we expose them to PEMF’s? What benefits come from exposure? 18:45 - Specifically as it relates to osteoporosis and low bone density how can PEMF help? 19:44 - PEMF helps heal non-union fractures. 22:14 - PEMF’s decrease osteoclast activity (bone breakdown) and increase osteoblast activity (bone formation) 23:44 - What do the research and studies say about PEMF therapy and osteoporosis? 27:22 - Study. PEMF’s as effective as Alendronate in treating osteoporosis? 29:35 - What Dr. Pawluk has found in his clinical practice by tracking patients with osteoporosis who are using PEMF? 30:05 - PEMF is not a standalone therapy. It’s a complement to your other efforts (i.e. nutrition, hormones, etc.) 31:38 - How do you actually use a PEMF device to reap the benefits? 34:03 - The higher the intensity the better. 36:10 - What is the right intensity of PEMF treatment for osteoporosis? 36:55 - Minimum intensity 70 gauss. 500 gauss is ideal but cost of device may be prohibitive. 40:57 - Duration and frequency of PEMF therapy for osteoporosis treatment. 30min-1hour 2X day. 43:36 - Identify the cause of your osteoporosis and whether or not you’re actively losing bone before you start treatment.

22 Nov 2019
00:38:42

Most parathyroid patients have this. Low Vitamin D with high blood calcium is often times a parathyroid problem. 19:24 - Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates the conversion of inactive Vitamin D (25hydroxyvitamin D) to active Vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). 19:49 - If your blood calcium is high, and vitamin D is low, don’t take more vitamin D. Check your PTH first and rule out hyperparathyroidism. 20:30 - High calcium and high PTH indicates parathyroid disease. 21:18 - Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels explained. 22:15 - The diagnosis is based on labs and not imaging studies 23:27 - What imaging is used for identifying parathyroid tumors. Sestamibi scan, CT scan, ultrasound explained. 25:32 - You find out you have parathyroid disease. What are your next steps? What does the process look like? 26:46 - When will I feel better post surgery? What changes will you notice? 28:17 - Commonly asked questions or concerns from parathyroid patients. Distal forearm DEXA. Your bones can rebuild after removing a parathyroid tumor. 30:48 - If you let it go untreated, it can lead to bone loss. 31:44 - Symptoms of hyperparathyroidism (tired, brain fog, poor sleep) 33:47 - How you can get in touch with Dr. Deva Boone and the Norman Parathyroid Center (see resources section of show notes as well) 35:12 - Forteo, Tymlos and high calcium.

That’s what this podcast is all about.
We’re going to cover a range of topics and how they impact our bone health and general health including: stopping and preventing bone loss, osteoporosis, osteopenia, gut health, hormones, stress, sleep, diet, genetics, DEXA scans, bone mineral density, fracture risk, T-scores, lab testing, nutrients, exercise, celiac disease, crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, autoimmunity, toxins, sugar, inflammation, medications and more.
I'll share the research, bone health expert interviews, answer questions from our Bone Coach Community, and share tips of what I’ve seen work well with my clients...all to help you figure out how to get the conditions right in your body to better your bones.
In this episode I also share my personal story of being diagnosed and how I was able to turn my health around and change my mindset and perspective.
