Episode notes
Osteoporosis and Innovation
- John Jaquish's mother was diagnosed with osteoporosis.
- This led him to develop medical devices that emulate high-impact forces to build bone density without injury.
Walking vs. High Impact
- Walking, though beneficial for circulation, doesn't significantly improve bone health.
- Bone density benefits require impacts exceeding 4.2 times body weight, achievable through jumping or specialized devices.
Supplements and Stimulus
- Supplements for bone health, like calcium and vitamin D, are like protein for muscles: they require a stimulus.
- Without the stimulus of high-impact forces, supplements alone won't build bone density.
