Got Osteopenia or Osteoporosis? Follow This Protocol - Zora Benhamou

Is it actually possible to reverse bone loss in midlife—and do it without drugs? In this solo episode, I'm diving into one of the most-requested topics in our community: osteoporosis and bone strength. You'll hear my personal journey with osteopenia, my pre- and post-hip surgery bone scans, and the n=1 experiment I'm starting with a bone supplement recommended by bone experts. But more importantly, I'll show you the bigger picture beyond the T-score—and what the latest science (plus insights from leaders in the osteoporosis space) tells us about building strong, resilient bones through biohacking, nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle. We cover: The difference between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis What your DEXA scan doesn't tell you—and which other scans may offer deeper insights Bone loss in menopause and do we really need HRT The hidden risks of osteoporosis drugs Which markers may be more important than BMD scores The real impact of cortisol, sleep, and stress on your bones Nutrition, exercise and advanced biohack protocols that improve bone health PAST EPISODES: Can You Reverse Osteoporosis? https://youtu.be/JRrd52WsmXI?si=95SuFSiuQc2a2eDL Dr. Doug Lucas YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr_DougLucas Radiation Offset Protocol for DEXA scans: https://hackmyage.com/radiation-offset-protocol/ Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.

Can You Reverse Osteoarthritis? Menopause Impacts on OA - Ali Mobasheri

Do your knees hurt when you stand up? Are you losing range of motion in your hips? Have you been told you have osteoarthritis—but left without real guidance or solutions? You're not alone. When I was first diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis, I didn't even know what it meant. A quick online search gave me generic advice like "lose weight," which as an athletic person was the last thing I needed to do. Maybe you're in the same boat—searching for better answers. That's why I invited Professor Ali Mobasheri to the show. He's one of the world's leading experts on osteoarthritis, aging, and joint health—and in this conversation, he breaks down what we really need to know about OA and can we reverse it, especially during midlife and menopause. We cover: What osteoarthritis actually is and how it differs from other types of arthritis and osteoporosis Why osteoarthritis is not just a "wear and tear" condition How widespread osteoarthritis truly is—and why the numbers are underestimated How menopause influences joint health and increases OA risk Why younger adults are increasingly being diagnosed Whether it's possible to reverse osteoarthritis Which treatments and holistic strategies are most promising Why research around hormone therapy and OA is still lacking Professor Ali Mobasheri is a globally recognized expert in musculoskeletal biology and osteoarthritis research. He is a Professor of Musculoskeletal Biology at the University of Oulu in Finland and a Past President of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). Chief Researcher & International Adviser at the State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine in Lithuania He is an active member of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS). His research explores the intersection of inflammation, metabolism, and joint aging, with a focus on early diagnosis and prevention. He also serves as an adviser to the World Health Organization and sits on numerous scientific advisory boards, including those focused on osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and regenerative medicine. He has published over 400 scientific papers and holds an h-index of 78—an extraordinary achievement in academic research.
