Perform Podcast S2E4: Enhancing Bone Health at Every Age

Most people don’t think about bone health until it becomes a problem. But bone loss isn’t just an issue for the elderly—it’s increasingly common in younger, active individuals, including executives and athletes. The good news? Bone loss is highly preventable and even reversible with the right approach.

In this episode of Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin, Andy breaks down the science of bone health, why bone loss is rising, and what you can do to build stronger, more resilient bones.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Bone Loss is More Common Than You Think
  Poor bone health is on the rise due to sedentary lifestyles, nutrient deficiencies, and lack of impact training.

• Strength Training and Impact Exercise Build Bone Density
  Bones respond to mechanical stress. Sprinting, jumping, and resistance training are essential for maintaining bone strength.

• Nutrition Matters Beyond Calcium and Vitamin D
  Other key nutrients—like vitamin K2, magnesium, phosphorus, and collagen—are critical for bone remodeling and strength.

• Supplements and Emerging Therapies Show Promise
  Certain supplements, as well as stem cells, peptides, and light therapy, may enhance bone healing and regeneration.

• The 3 I’s: Investigate, Interpret, Intervene

  • Investigate: Assess bone health through DEXA scans, lab markers, and lifestyle analysis.
  • Interpret: Understand your results and their impact on long-term performance.
  • Intervene: Use targeted strategies, from training and nutrition to advanced therapies.
