Worldwide osteoporosis affects 1 in 5 men and 1 in 3 women over the age of fifty.
It causes bones to become fragile and significantly increases the risk of fractures from minor incidents.
But this does not have to be an inevitable consequence of aging.
The latest research highlights that extra calcium rich foods and vitamin D supplements might not have the beneficial effects once thought.
If you want to understand this@more@I recommend listening to this informative podcast on Zoe Science and Nutrition. The myths and facts surrounding causes, treatments and preventative measures of osteoporosis are discussed in depth.

In this episode, Chris sat down with Stu McGill and Marc Surdyka. Stu provided more context surrounding his previous podcast interview with Peter Attia in addition to our recent episode discussing some of Stu’s claims during his conversation with Peter. We dove into a variety of topics including: deadlifting in older adults, promoting resilience, disc bulges, adapting exercises for specific needs, lumbar flexion, and much more.

The Peter Attia Drive is a deep-dive podcast focusing on maximizing longevity, and all that goes into that from physical to cognitive to emotional health. In this episode, Stuart engages in a deep exploration of lower back pain, starting with the anatomy of the lower back, the workings of the spine, the pathophysiology of back pain, and areas of vulnerability. He challenges the concept of nonspecific back pain, emphasizing the importance of finding a causal relationship between injury and pain.

So, is coffee a guilty treat as many of us suspect? Or is it a health drink feeding your good gut bacteria?

In this episode, Jonathan speaks with James Hoffmann and Tim Spector to find out. They discuss how coffee affects your gut bacteria, your hormones and your heart, whether decaffeinated coffee is healthy, and discover some of coffee’s most surprising side effects – which could come in handy if you find yourself in the jungle.

I loved this Zoe Podcast as it sits with my belief systems. Reduce the risks of damaging your heart health focus on:

1. Getting enough quality sleep.
2. Good nutrition to nurture your gut. Mainly plant based (hurray for vegetables!) pulses, nuts, seeds & fruits. AVOID: additives, preservatives, too much sugar and too much alcohol.
3. Being active - move everyday. We need to move frequently. Exercising does not guarantee that you are going to be heart healthy - it’s only part of the solution.
4. Lowering stress levels - find moments to destress. Your mind and body will thank you for it.

But don’t take it from me. Listen to the experts as Dr William Li discusses Heart Health and Ageing on this Zoe podcast.

In this enlightening podcast Steven Bartlett interviews Tim Spector OBE, Professor of Genetic Epidemiology as he dispels many nutrition myths and explains how our gut microbiome underpins our overall health - mental and physical.

Eat a rainbow of unprocessed foods.
Never trust food packaging read the ingredients.
Intermittent fasting can be great for some. Coffee is good.
Humans are individuals and there isn’t one perfect plan for all.

More than half of us have high cholesterol — and new research suggests that having even slightly raised levels in our 30s could significantly increase our chances of developing heart disease.

Medication is a common fix, but it comes with side effects. So, today we’re looking at how much changing our diets can help.

We use it to fry, roast, or dress a salad. Cooking oil is a kitchen staple. But it's hard to know which is healthiest for each scenario.

In today’s short episode of ZOE Science & Nutrition, Jonathan and Sarah ask: what cooking oils should you use and when?

Blood sugar is one of the rare nutrition topics where everyone agrees: We should avoid big peaks and dips and aim for a steady curve.

Spikes cause inflammation, accelerate aging, and lead to type 2 diabetes. Crashes make us feel moody and tired, and crave foods we don’t need.

We can control our blood sugar through what and how we eat. But something else affects our blood sugar — physical activity.

Do you feel like your muscles are shrinking or getting weaker? Many people gradually lose muscle mass as they get older.

Dr. Peter Attia doesn’t want a slow death. He doesn’t want his final years to be defined by poor mental and physical faculties that only worsen as the years roll by. But, by making changes to his lifestyle today, he’s taking control of his health tomorrow.

Not all of us want to go to the gym 5 times a week. But what if there was a way to do quick, high-intensity, 20-second exercises and still reap benefits — or does that sound too good to be true?
