About The Bone Boot Camp Podcast:
In 2016 I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I reversed my diagnosis with nutrition and weight bearing exercise. It took a lot of research and work to gather all of the information that researchers have made available, but I love research, so it was natural for me.
I created two movement programs for women to share the path I created for myself, so they do not need to do 2 years of research as well as constant update searches.
At the end of 2020 I started doing video interviews to share with my members. I chose to interview individuals who are doing something in their work or life that contains some golden nuggets for my audience of gracefully aging women.
I really enjoyed the interviews and started dreaming up a list of all the people I would like to interview to share information about living your best life as you age. Of course, my specific focus is skeleton safe movement and promoting bone growth. But there is so much more that I have learned in my research that I feel compelled to share it! My interviews cover all the major factors in healthy aging. I talk to experts about the practical things you can do today for your bones, your brain, your heart and your gut.
A podcast seemed to me to be the obvious evolution of my interviews. It has been quite an undertaking but so much fun!
