How Poor Sleep Accelerates Bone Loss After 50 w/ Stefanie Broes + BoneCoach™ Osteoporosis & Osteopenia
1w ago00:26:22Tap to summarizeCan insomnia increase bone loss and fracture risk?Does chronic stress and high cortisol weaken bones after menopause?Can improving sleep and breathwork actually support bone density and bone formation?If you are a woman over 50 struggling with poor sleep, stress, or osteoporosis, this episode is for you.In this conversation, we explore why sleep deprivation and circadian disruption directly impact bone remodeling. Research shows that just three weeks of sleep restriction reduced P1NP, a critical marker of bone formation, meaning your body may build less bone when sleep is impaired.Stefanie Broes, CEO and Co-Founder of Moonbird, joins the show to explain how breathwork and nervous system regulation lower cortisol, improve sleep quality, and support recovery.If you are concerned about osteoporosis, osteopenia, menopause-related bone loss, insomnia, or stress, this episode connects the dots between nervous system health and stronger bones.Topics Covered00:52 Introduction to Stefanie Broes and Moonbird03:38 The Science Behind Breathwork05:38 Cortisol, Chronic Stress, and Bone Density13:47 Growth Hormone Release During Sleep13:47 You Can Breathe Yourself to Sleep15:52 Study on Sleep Restriction and Decreased P1NP19:32 Simple Breathwork Exercises21:51 Who Can Benefit from Breathwork21:51 Future of Breathwork TechnologyGuest ResourcesMoonbirdhttps://moonbird.lifeInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/moonbird.lifeUse Code BONECOACH for 10 dollars offBook MentionedBreath by James NestorFree Resources From Bone Coach™FREE Stronger Bones Masterclasshttps://strongerbonesmasterclass.comFREE 7 Day Osteoporosis Kickstarthttps://bonecoach.comApply to Work With Our Teamhttps://bonecoach.com/applyWant More Content Like This?Hit the Subscribe button so you never miss an episode.If this conversation resonated with you, leave a comment and let me know what stood out most.Share this episode with a woman navigating osteoporosis, osteopenia, thyroid issues, menopause, or feeling stuck in her bone health journey.Medical DisclaimerThe information contained within this episode should not be considered medical advice.

Is Osteoporosis Really Genetic? What Doctors Should Explore More w/ Dr. Jack Wolfson + BoneCoach™ Osteoporosis & Osteopenia
Apr 300:35:39Tap to summarizeIs osteoporosis genetic? Does family history mean you’re destined for bone loss?If you’ve had these questions, then this episode is for you.I sat down with Dr. Jack Wolfson, board-certified cardiologist, holistic cardiologist, and founder of Natural Heart Doctor, to explore the deeper root causes behind heart disease and bone loss.In this conversation, we challenge the idea that genetics are predisposed. Dr. Wolfson explains why chronic inflammation, environmental toxins, stress, gut dysfunction, poor sleep, and modern lifestyle exposures may play a larger role in both cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis than most people realize.We discuss how toxin exposure, including microplastics and environmental pollutants, may increase oxidative stress, disrupt the gut microbiome, impair nutrient absorption, and interfere with healthy bone remodeling.If you’ve been told “it runs in your family” and that medication is your only option, this episode will expand how you think about prevention and regeneration.Topics Covered00:30 – Episode Introduction 05:57 – Labels vs Root Cause in Osteoporosis 06:20 – “I Don’t Believe in Bad Genetics” 07:05 – Family History and Pharmaceuticals 07:54 – Inflammation & Oxidative Stress Explained 10:00 – The Food Debate and Organic Eating 13:38 – Cholesterol Myths & Heart Health 16:25 – Blood Pressure & Root Cause Medicine 17:21 – Advanced Lab Testing & Inflammation Markers 22:29 – Microplastics Found in Artery Plaque 23:20 – Environmental Toxins & Gut Dysfunction 24:22 – The 100-Year Heart Lifestyle 26:00 – Sleep, Sunlight & Modern Living 27:30 – Stress, Trauma & Cardiovascular Risk 32:40 – Mold, Mycotoxins & Water-Damaged Homes 34:21 – Where to Connect with Dr. Jack WolfsonResources MentionedShownotes @https://bonecoach.com/blogs/podcast/is-osteoporosis-really-genetic-what-doctors-should-explore-more-w-dr-jack-wolfson-natural-heart-doctor-holistic-cardiology-paleo-cardiologistDr. Jackson Wolfson Website - NaturalHeartDoctor.comThe Paleo Cardiologist - FreeHeartBook.comSocialsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/natural_heart_doctor/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NaturalHeartDoctorYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/NaturalHeartDoctorTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.jack.wolfsonSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1iwS11RGiE4iND0tX1zcsJFree Resources From Bone Coach™=>>FREE Stronger Bones Masterclass (Gain Access Now!)=>>FREE 7-Day Osteoporosis Kickstart=>>Apply to join the Stronger Bones Solution Program w/ the Bone Coach™ TeamWant More Content Like This?Hit the “Subscribe” Button (and the little bell next to it) so you never miss an episode.Share this episode

Is Stem Cell Decline the Real Reason Bone Health Fails After 50? + BoneCoach™ Osteoporosis & Osteopenia
Mar 2700:35:28Tap to summarizeBone Coach™ Health and WellnessMost conversations about bone health focus on calcium, hormones, or medications. But what if one of the untold factors is your body’s natural repair system?In this episode, I speak with Christian Drapeau, who is a renowned scientist, author of Cracking the Stem Cell Code, and pioneer in endogenous stem cell mobilization. With more than 30 years in medical research and 20 years dedicated specifically to stem cell science, Christian explains how stem cells function as the body’s natural repair system and why declining stem cell numbers may influence aging, osteoporosis, and chronic disease.We also explore how inflammation, stress, sleep, smoking, and alcohol impact stem cell activity, why circulation matters for tissue repair, and the plant compounds Christian has studied that increase circulating stem cells by up to 80%. If bone loss is part of reduced regenerative capacity, this conversation may shift how you think about aging and repair.Topics Covered00:51 – Introduction to Christian Drapeau03:42 – The Blue Green Algae Discovery07:36 – What Stem Cells Actually Are07:54 – Stem Cells as the Body’s Natural Repair System09:30 – Tissue Turnover & Bone Renewal10:49 – Inflammation, Stress & Stem Cell Suppression13:25 – Can You Test Your Stem Cell Count?17:07 – Stem Cell Decline & Aging18:30 – Supporting Stem Cell Function Naturally19:58 – Plants That Mobilize Stem Cells20:03 – Aloe From Madagascar & 80% Increase22:00 – Sea Buckthorn & 40% Increase25:05 – The STEMREGEN Product Line28:12 – Unexpected Clinical Observations30:54 – The Future of Stem Cell Science Resources Mentionedhttps://bonecoach.com/blogs/podcast/is-stem-cell-decline-the-real-reason-bone-health-fails-after-50-stemregen-stemcells-cracking-the-stem-cell-codeSTEMREGENhttps://stemregen.co/kevinUse code BONECOACH for 15% offChristian on Instagram & TikTok@stemcellchristianFree Resources From Bone Coach™=>>FREE Stronger Bones Masterclass (Gain Access Now!)=>>FREE 7-Day Osteoporosis Kickstart=>>Apply to join the Stronger Bones Solution Program w/ the Bone Coach™ TeamWant More Content Like This?Here’s how you can help me continue producing content to help you improve your bone health and build stronger bones:Hit the “Subscribe” Button so you never miss an episode.If you enjoyed this conversation, leave a review.Share this episode with someone navigating osteoporosis or aging concerns.Medical DisclaimerThe information contained within this episode should not be considered medical advice.
