Is Your DEXA Scan Enough? Reversing Osteoporosis at Any Age
With Gary Rhodes
Show notes
Think bone health is only for the elderly? Think again. In this episode, Dr. Ash Kapoor sits down with Gary Rhodes to discuss why the journey to skeletal health actually begins at peak bone mass around age 30. They explore why a standard DEXA scan—often used only reactively—may not provide the full picture of your fracture risk.
Gary introduces Echolight REMS Technology, a zero-radiation ultrasound that measures both bone density (the "structure") and a fragility score (the "foundation"). Learn why osteoporosis is a "choice" and how to reverse it through stimulus, nutrition, and hormone optimisation.
In this video, you will learn:
Density vs. Fragility: Why you can have "normal" density but still be at high risk for fractures.
The Immune Connection: How bones house 60% of your magnesium and help trigger an immune response through calcitonin.
The Progesterone Steal: How stress can cause bone loss in younger, healthy-looking women.
Wolf’s Law: How to safely load your bones to trigger new growth using Biodensity.
The 5,000 Person Study: Why 30% of people aged 30–55 already show signs of osteopenia.
