Is 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.
