Episode notes
ADVICE

Get Bone Scans Sooner If You Have Risks

  • Ask your doctor for a DEXA or REMS bone scan early if you have risk factors like family history, rapid weight loss, smoking, steroid use, or heavy alcohol.
  • If clinicians refuse, find a standalone DEXA or REMS location and pay out-of-pocket rather than waiting until 65.
ADVICE

Daily Jumps And Nutrition For Bones

  • Jump 20 times daily and lift weights to create high-impact forces that build bone density.
  • Eat enough protein plus calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D to support bone health and recovery.
ADVICE

Lift Heavy To Build Strength And Power

  • Progress to lifting heavy with low reps (3–6 to failure) to build strength and neuromuscular coordination.
  • Add tempo and explosive work to convert strength into power and reduce fall risk.
