2844: You're Destroying Your Bones Without Knowing It, Here's the Fix
4/25/20261 hr 49 min
Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density during menopause. Men lose 20–30% over their lifetime. Most people are told to take calcium or medication — but there's a proven formula that not only stops this process, it reverses it. Sal, Adam, and Justin break down a randomized controlled trial where 65-year-old women gained 3% bone density in 8 months just by lifting weights, share the story of a client who reversed osteoporosis so dramatically her doctor insisted on redoing the test, and explain the most common mistake active people make: training consistently while eating too little, which can cause bone loss no matter how hard you work.
