Defy gravity and rebuild your bones at any age with Dr. Belinda Beck's pioneering high-intensity resistance training protocols.
In this groundbreaking conversation, the Professor of Exercise Science shatters myths around weightlifting for women and reveals how targeted loading can stimulate new bone growth - even for those with osteopenia or osteoporosis. Prepare to have your assumptions shattered and unlock a life without fear of fractures.

0:00.0 | So I am at an age where for the first time I'm starting to think about the health of my bones. |
0:05.0 | We tend to lose density and strength as we age, although some people might argue I'm actually |
0:10.7 | getting more dense as I age. And the effects on our bones can be pretty brutal, from pain |
0:16.1 | and fractures to serious limitations. You hear words like osteoporosis or osteopenia and wonder, what exactly |
0:23.4 | is that? And what does science say we can do to keep the bone we have and potentially even slow down |
0:29.4 | or reverse any loss that we might be experiencing no matter how old you are? There is just so much |
0:37.1 | misinformation in mythology in this area, |
0:39.6 | so I wanted to talk to somebody who's not only a leading voice, but also a primary researcher |
0:45.0 | who is changing what we once believed was possible. My guest today is Dr. Belinda Beck, |
0:50.3 | professor of exercise science at Griffith University and director of the bone clinic in Australia. |
0:55.1 | With over two decades of research, her pioneering work has revealed some really powerful new |
1:01.1 | insights to stimulating new bone growth through targeted high intensity resistance training, |
1:06.9 | even for people who had for years been written off as beyond being able to be helped. |
1:14.2 | You're about to hear the remarkable stories of Dr. Beck's study participants who, despite |
1:19.2 | osteopenia and osteoporosis diagnoses and being later in life achieved astonishing |
1:25.0 | increases in bone density and skeletal resistance. |
1:28.7 | They'll pretty much shatter every myth you've heard about women and weightlifting. |
1:32.4 | In this mind-blowing conversation, you will discover a groundbreaking approach that defies |
1:37.2 | conventional wisdom and unlocks your body's innate ability to fortify this foundational structure |
1:43.3 | from within. |
1:44.4 | So imagine unleashing a life without fewer fractures, moving with confidence, embracing |
1:48.9 | activities you love. |
