WELCOME TO THE FIRST OSTEOBLAST NEWSLETTER, a 5 minute read for a lifetime of benefits. The technologies we discuss amplify natural forces that shape strong bodies, offering greater gains in bone density, muscle strength, athletic performance, health and healing than traditional athletic exercise.

Fact: “Your skeleton is completely new every 5 to 10 years,” -Dr. Deal

Our bones are living, breathing organs, just like our lungs and heart. Bone tissue is alive and constantly changes throughout life. Although your genes determine the size and strength of your skeleton, that doesn’t mean your bone health is out of your control. And it is never too late.

There are things you can do to help your bones stay strong and healthy and reduce your risk of osteoporosis and broken bones. This requires being informed to know the right choices to build healthy, strong bones.

We all know that eating the right foods, being active, and leading a healthy lifestyle will help keep your bones strong and healthy for as long as possible. But this is too general—where are the granular details? In a world full of fear and uncertainty about our health, particularly concerning bone density and strength, it can be difficult to know where to turn for actionable advice you can trust. We are going to share our knowledge, together with practical advice and tips on things you can do to improve your bone health and overall well-being.

Following our Strong Talk event last week on nutrition, we shared how important your protein intake is. The recommended daily allowance for protein is insufficient for most adults, partly due to a condition known as anabolic resistance.

This condition affects everyone as they grow older, necessitating higher protein intake. Unfortunately, many people become less active and consume less food and protein as they age. The ideal protein consumption should be 1.2 to 1.5g per kg of body weight. Also, ensure you have protein for breakfast to switch the body from a catabolic (degradation) to an anabolic (regeneration) state.

Not all protein is created equal. The best sources are meat and eggs, as they contain other vitamins and micronutrients that are essential for bone health.

How much protein do you consume daily?
