Summary:

I talk about why most bone mass is genetically fixed, what the newest research actually shows about resistance and impact training, and why the real goal is preventing falls, not only chasing bone density increases.

Chapters:

00:00 – Intro: why I'm covering bone mass now

00:57 – Why 80% of your bone mass is already set by genetics and childhood
03:36 – What actually works: resistance vs. impact vs. low-impact activity
06:35 – Breaking down the Lift More study results
11:07 – Why preventing falls matters more than chasing bone density
16:04 – DEXA scans and my closing takeaway
