Is There More to Bone Health Than Calcium and Vitamin D?

In this episode of the Longevity podcast I am joined by bone health expert..Gary Rhodes to delve into the often overlooked but crucial topic of bone health. My goal is to uncover the essentials of bone density and quality, and understand the relationship between our bones and overall well-being as we age. 

I am looking forward to discussing the significant factors that influence bone health, such as nutrition, digestion, and exercise, and delve into the increased risks presented by medications and high-stress lifestyles. 

I'm particularly excited to learn about the latest developments in bone scanning technology, including Echolite REMS, and effective practices like Biodensity training and Power Plate therapy.
