In Part 2 of this important two-part conversation, Debi Robinson continues her discussion with Dr. Nick Birch, a former spinal surgeon who began questioning conventional bone density testing after decades of surgical experience. While Part 1 explored the limitations of DEXA scans and the difference between bone density and bone strength, this episode goes deeper into the broader implications: informed consent, the blind spots of specialty medicine, polypharmacy, and why bone health must be vi...
In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Nick Birch, a former spinal surgeon from the UK who began questioning conventional bone assessment tools after years of surgical experience. Dr. Birch shares how DEXA scans often indicated “good bone density,” yet during surgery he encountered bone that was structurally weak and unable to securely hold surgical hardware. This clinical disconnect led him to question whether bone density alone truly reflects fracture risk...
In this episode, Debi Robinson welcomes Chris Burres, a scientist and longevity researcher, for a fascinating conversation about mitochondrial health and why it plays such a critical role in aging, energy, balance, and bone health. While mitochondria are often described as “the powerhouse of the cell,” this episode explores what that really means as we age. Chris explains how oxidative stress and chronic inflammation damage mitochondria over time, accelerating aging and contributing to issues...
This milestone Episode 150 is a powerful solo conversation with Debi Robinson that reframes how we think about osteoporosis and bone loss. Debi shares a perspective that changed her own work profoundly: there are over 150 documented causes of bone loss. When bone loss is viewed through this lens, osteoporosis is no longer a mystery, a personal failure, or an inevitable result of aging — it becomes a multi-system condition with many opportunities for intervention. In this episode, Debi explain...
In this episode, Debi Robinson welcomes back Dr. Lorraine Maita, widely known as the hormone harmonizer and detoxifier, for a grounded and clarifying conversation about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and bone health. While hormones can be powerful tools for supporting bone density, muscle mass, and overall vitality, they do not work effectively in isolation. Dr. Maita explains why digestion, detoxification, inflammation control, gut health, and stress regulation must be addre...
Travel is often seen as relaxing and rejuvenating, but for the body — especially the bones — it can be surprisingly stressful. In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Monisha Bhanote, a quintuple board-certified physician who integrates cellular science with Ayurvedic medicine, to explore how travel affects bone health at a deeper level. From prolonged sitting and dehydration to disrupted digestion, sleep, and stress hormones, this conversation sheds light on the hidden ways travel ...
In this solo episode, Debi Robinson speaks directly to women who have been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis and left feeling afraid, fragile, or unsure how to move forward. Debi explores how osteoporosis became a widespread diagnosis, why the DEXA scan does not tell the full story about fracture risk, and how fear itself can quietly accelerate bone loss. She challenges the idea that a number on a scan defines your future and offers a calmer, more empowering perspective on bone health...
In this follow-up conversation with Dr. Anil Bajnath, MD, Debi Robinson explores how precision medicine can be used not to “bio-hack” the body, but to bio-harmonize it — restoring balance, resilience, and clarity in the bone health journey. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all recommendations or waiting for disease to show up on a DEXA scan, this episode focuses on understanding the body’s internal signals earlier. Dr. Bajnath explains how stress, gut health, blood sugar regulation, sleep...
In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath, MD, a board-certified physician and leader in precision medicine, to explore how personalized healthcare is reshaping the future of bone health and osteoporosis prevention. Rather than waiting for bone loss to appear on a DEXA scan, precision medicine focuses on identifying the root biological drivers of bone loss years earlier—chronic inflammation, mitochondrial decline, hormonal imbalance, gut dysfunction, immune aging, and cel...
In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, Debi sits down with Jennifer Payeur, holistic health practitioner, cancer thriver, and founder of Nature Provides. Jennifer shares her remarkable healing journey — from chronic illness and a stage 4 cancer diagnosis to discovering the regenerative intelligence of embryonic plant stem cells. This conversation dives deep into how plant stem cells detoxify the body, support the nervous system, restore cellular communication, and enhance ti...
In this powerful and enlightening episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimee Duffy, triple-board-certified functional medicine physician and regenerative health expert, to uncover the deeper biochemical, hormonal, and cellular factors driving bone loss. Dr. Duffy shares how chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, gut dysfunction, emotional trauma, immune imbalance, and mitochondrial decline all impact the body’s ability to repair — including the repair of your bones. We talk about the connection betw...
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Susan Brown, medical anthropologist, clinical nutritionist, and founder of Better Bones, to unravel the truth behind modern osteoporosis care. We explore how the DEXA scan became the gold standard—despite its limitations—and why so many women are being mislabeled as “high risk” when the full picture of bone strength has never been evaluated. Dr. Brown brings a rare combination of science, global anthropology, and decades of clinica...

Through years of working with women with osteoporosis and osteopenia — and interpreting countless stool labs—Debi has seen a clear pattern: when digestion falters, bones weaken. Because the truth is, it’s ...
