How To Build Resilient Bones at Every Age - Dr. Lora Giangregorio - Episode 34

Imperfect Progress with Anne Guzman

Osteoporosis, the "Silent Thief," erodes bones without a whisper. Whether you're an athlete or just cherish mobility, your bones are partners in every adventure. During this podcast we unveil the secrets of your skeletal strength, embracing aging gracefully and embracing life's potential.

Your bones are always building and breaking down, shaping your strength, agility, and health. Your choices matter: what you eat, how you move, genetics, age – they all impact your bone health.

Today, we dive deep with bone health expert Dr. Lora Giangregorio. She's a Professor in Kinesiology, a member of Osteoporosis Canada's Advisory Council. This isn't a dry lecture, but a practical exploration:

• What exercises truly bolster bone health?
• Does resistance training work after menopause?
• How does yoga fit in?
• Can vibration boards really make a difference?
• The importance of sports nutrition and energy intake for bones.
• And the silent impact of under-eating.

We unravel a DEXA scan's significance, delve into osteoporosis rates among males, and spotlight the power of a holistic bone health approach. Plus, discover valuable resources to fortify your bone training journey.

If you're active and you want to have that freedom to do all of the exercises you love for as long as you live, NOW is the time to pay attention to your bones. Prevention is everything.
