I am equally concerned about this bone problem we have because we may be strong until we trip over

the curb or trip over your dog and fall down and break a hip. Because when that happens, the minute,

like this, I don't know if you can hear this, the minute you break a hip, 30% of the time you will die in one year. And 50% of the time,

you will not return to the house you raised your children in. And that's devastating.

Hello, my friends, and welcome to another episode of Better with Dr. Stephanie. Stephanie.

Today I am joined by my friend and my colleague, Dr. Vonda Wright, and we are talking about

Bones Baby in her new book, of course, Unbreakable.

So before we get into it, I want you to know that this episode is certainly going to talk about injuries,

which bones are famous for. We always think about tendons and ligaments and bones in terms of

fractures or bone pain or we have, you know, tendonopathies or whatever, bursitis, all of these

things. I also think, and I think we do a very good job in this episode,

as presenting bone and ligaments and tendons and joints, as beyond just your typical,

we should only think about them when we're injured. Vonda presents her essential thesis in her

latest book Unbreakable that bones are an endocrine organ,

that there is cross talk from bones to the brain to the muscles. And we actually dive into

a lot of science around hormones like osteocalcin and the regulatory role that bones actually

have in glucose regulation, in immune function, in cardiovascular health,

in muscle function, bone and bone health as well.

So I think that you're gonna be pleasantly surprised

if you are a nerd like me, nerd Army Unite.

This is for the light rose betties
