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.
