In this powerful Part 1 conversation on the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Nick Birch, a former spinal surgeon from the UK who has become a strong advocate for rethinking how we assess and manage bone health.
In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, I had a fascinating and unexpected conversation with my guest, Chris Burres — a scientist, entrepreneur, and yes, a stand-up comedian. Chris brings a rare combination of deep scientific knowledge and the ability to explain complex concepts in a way that actually makes sense.
Osteoporosis is not an inevitable disease of aging. It is not simply a calcium deficiency. It is a multi-system, lifestyle-driven, inflammatory and metabolic condition — and bone loss doesn’t start in the bones. It starts everywhere else in the body.
In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, I welcomed back one of my most trusted and respected guests, Dr. Lorraine Maita. She’s known as the hormone harmonizer and detoxifier, and for good reason. With over 40 years of clinical experience, she brings clarity to a topic that feels increasingly confusing for women: bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Travel is something many of us look forward to — especially as we move into retirement years and finally have the time and freedom to explore. But what most women don’t realize is that travel itself is a physiological stressor, and stress directly affects bone health.
This is a solo episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, and I wanted to take this opportunity to speak directly to you — woman to woman — about something I see every single day in my work: fear-based bone health.
One of the biggest reasons women feel confused, overwhelmed, and powerless after an osteoporosis or osteopenia diagnosis is that they’re given very little context. A scan. A number. A prescription. And almost no guidance on what’s actually happening inside their bodies.
When it comes to osteoporosis, most women are still being funneled into a narrow, reactionary medical model: wait until bone loss is advanced, confirm it with a DEXA scan, and then prescribe a medication. While this approach has been the standard for decades, it leaves out the most important question: why did the bone loss happen in the first place?
If you’ve ever felt that traditional health systems are failing to look at the whole person, today’s episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. I’m joined by Jennifer Payeur — founder of Nature Provides, holistic health practitioner, cancer thriver, and creator of the award-winning film Nature Provides: The Ancient Wisdom of Plant Stem Cells.
I sit down with Dr. Aimee Duffy, triple-board-certified functional medicine physician and regenerative health expert, to explore the deeper biochemical drivers of bone loss — the issues that often go overlooked, yet determine how well your bones can rebuild.
