    Memorable Quotes:
    "
    Usually when people are starting there’s a lot of intimidation around weights, and I completely empathize and understand because if you have osteoporosis, you don’t want a break. So, what ends up happening is that there’s a lot of intimidation or trepidation when it comes to lifting the size of weight that’s recommended at the time. It might even feel like it’s too much, then don’t do that! You’ve got to find and gage what that goldilocks effect is for you This is just a general guideline.” [18:28]-Alicia

     "My goal is to help you be your own yoga therapist, your own physical therapist, your own physical expert trainer. So that you actually can gage whats appropriate. This is the package you have for the rest of your life and you want to take care of it for how many ever more years you’re going to be in that package. So learn whats appropriate” [19:09] -Debi

    Memorable Quotes:
    "
    When we’re exposed to stress as humans, which is normal by the way, we are not trying to have zero stress, we’re just needing to understand how the stress we’re exposed to affects our stress hormone levels. We want our stress hormones to respond in the moment to protect us. If the alarm goes off, we want our adrenaline and cortisol to help protect us or help us go into action of what needs to happen. So that’s not the problem, we want a healthy stress response. The problem is when we get stuck in stress mode." [11:39] - Dr. Doni

    "Its like the basics. These are the things the our body, human bodies naturally do. We need to eat we need to poop we need to sleep. If we’re not doing those things we’re not gonna feel good." [46:32]- Dr. Doni

    Memorable Quotes:
    "But I want to treat the whole person and I think that, whatever the chronic disease is That is your best bet for coming out the other side healthier stronger and better than ever and we need to go into the emotional component of whatever the diagnosis is because that’s a necessary and so often too missing part of medical oncology" [17:27]-Carol Lourie

    "There’s that phrase 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure', I mean it’s a ridiculous phrase but we need to be very empowered about how we a lot our budget for our health care and not expect the insurance companies to sign up because they have their own method and their own path and its not necessarily for your health its for the treatment of a disease." [25:41] -Carol Lourie

     It’s part of the energy of breast cancer, as a homeopath there are diseases that have certain energies to them, and the energy of breast cancer and that philosophy is called a miasm in homeopathic medicine. The energy of breast cancer is 'rush, rush, rush, do, do, do, I have to do this, I have to do that", you’re always on the go, you’re always pushing yourself, you’re making lists. And you tend to be a bit of a perfectionist which keeps you from asking for help." [36:25] - Carol Lourie

    “Every cell in our body contains magnesium and needs it to function, so that is why it’s so important. That is why there is so much magnesium deficiency out there and why it’s implicated in dozens of health conditions.” [3:20] -Dr. Barb

    “Magnesium helps to formulate bone-forming cells, and so it’s involved in the activation of osteoblasts, and osteoblasts are the cells responsible for that bone formation, and when we see sufficient levels we’re better able to build and maintain bone mass.” [12:25] -Dr. Barb

  • 9: The Power Of Yoga And Strengthening The Weak Side To Defy The Odds Against Scoliosis with Dr. Loren Fishman

    Healing scoliosis without surgery seems impossible, but yoga may provide hope to patients suffering under the weight of their diagnosis. Today, we welcome back Dr.Fishman to discuss his yoga routine for scoliosis. His technique is helping patients without surgical intervention. Most cases of scoliosis are characterized as idiopathic, meaning no medical explanation. However, Dr. Fishman believes the cause is simply muscular imbalance. 

    This simple hypothesis informs his yoga therapy so that he can address the weaker side of his patients. By evening out the muscular capacity, it is possible to reverse scoliosis and prevent dire symptoms from arising. Left untreated, the angle of the curve worsens by 1 degree each year.  Elderly patients with untreated scoliosis can develop curves that obstruct the heart's ability to fill with blood, subsequently depleting the organs of oxygen.

    Early intervention is the key to reducing the long-term consequences of scoliosis. Dr. Fishman’s Yoga for scoliosis has the potential to change lives, and help patients live a stronger bones lifestyle!


    Key Takeaways:

    [2:10] What is scoliosis 

    [4:00] Scoliosis is more common in teenage girls 

    [5:50] A healthier alternative to X-rays

    [7:10] The serious ramifications of scoliosis in the elderly 

    [9:40] Dire consequences of untreated scoliosis 

    [15:40] Strengthening the weak side

    [21:45] Temporarily weakening the strong side

    [25:50] Understanding the imbalance of muscles

    [32:20] Strengthening your back muscles

    Memorable Quotes:

    “It can so distort your chest, that your heart can’t fill up with blood, so it’s pumping alright, but it’s not pumping as much blood, therefore the other cells of your body, which include your liver, your spleen, and your kidneys, and of course your brain, they don’t get as much blood as they did before, and therefore they don’t get as much oxygen.”  [9:47] -Dr.Fishman

    “These muscles are not the dexterous muscles of your fingers, the coordinated muscles of your muscles of your vocal cords. They are not such fine muscles, their strong suit is that they pull, and they endure, they persist. You know, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, your back doesn’t hurt, most of the time, why? Because those muscles are so darn strong and so well created to sustain the pressure that they do so.”   [32:55] -Dr.Fishman

  • 8: Hair Testing for Mineral Balancing with Lisa Pitel-Killah

    Did you know that your hair is the first indicator of your overall health? Today on Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, Lisa Pitel-Killah joins us to share how she uses HTMA testing to identify mineral deficiencies to design customized supplement plans. Lisa is a board-certified holistic health practitioner offering online health coaching based on her innovative Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. Using her non-invasive HTMA testing through her company, Vykon Health, Lisa is helping patients regain their energy, tackle debilitating symptoms and enhance longevity.

    Traditionally, doctors have relied on blood tests to assess the health of their patients, but hair analysis allows practitioners to get ahead of the symptoms, and promote wellness faster. Your hair is a record of your mineral baseline, well before they are present in the blood,  making it the perfect tool for preventative care.

    Each person has a unique biochemical makeup, which is why Lisa’s work with Vykon Health is valuable to patients facing debilitating symptoms. Her approach to individualized care is helping patients restore minerals on a cellular level. Not every supplement is helpful for every person. HTMA offers information that no other test can facilitate and is revolutionizing how practitioners understand the bio-individual. 

    Join us as we explore the practical application of HTMA testing, and how Vykon Health will change how practitioners prescribe supplements.


    Key Takeaways:

    [2:50] What you can learn from Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis 

    [6:00] The patterns found in the hair are not random

    [9:00] What happens to calcium in the body without adequate cofactors 

    [11:00] The benefits of customized supplementation

    “We’re looking proactively at what the hair’s picking up at a deeper level, and if that isn’t corrected, eventually the blood is going to show the same thing.” [7:20] -Lisa Pitel-Killah

    “You really don’t need huge doses of one mineral! Remember more is not always better. When we’re using the right ratio of minerals, vitamins, based on science, which is literally your hair telling us your biochemistry, that’s what really gets the results that you’re gonna want.”  [16:50] -Lisa Pitel-Killah

Yoga is taught in images, but striving to replicate the perfect pose is to deny the uniqueness of your own skeletal structure. Today on Stronger Bones Lifestyle, Dr. Lori Rubenstein Fazzio DPT, PT, teaches you the importance of honoring your unique structure and understanding its limitations. Dr. Fazzio pioneered the first yoga therapy internship at Simms Mann Venice Family Clinic in Los Angeles, where LMU students are mentored in providing individualized yoga therapy for patients suffering from chronic pain. Her mission is to expand this model into other healthcare and educational settings

    In this episode, Dr. Fazzio explains how you can tune into your body’s messages so that you can position yourself for optimal function of your muscle, ligaments, and joints. She shifts your understanding of yogic movement to that of personalized alignment. A picture is a valuable guideline, but every person is unique, and your ideal pose is too. Understanding how your body feels in each position will help you avoid injury, and will build stronger bones. 

    She breaks down the science and the philosophy of yoga so that you can tap into the full scope of healing that a yogic practice offers. Join us as we reveal the true healing power of yoga!
