Ronald HoffmanHOST
Her work...
Ronald HoffmanHOST
Primarily related to the effects of mechanical loading on bone has involved both animal and human models from basic to clinical research, and her particular focus has been exercise interventions for the prevention of osteoporosis and fracture across the lifespan and the prevention and management of bone stress injuries in the military.
Ronald HoffmanHOST
Yeah, there's a national security implication of that.
Ronald HoffmanHOST
She recently co-founded something called The Bone Clinic, an innovative translational research facility and health service with a purpose to implement safe, evidence-based exercise for osteoporosis, coupled with rigorous patient monitoring for clinical and functional outcomes.

Belinda BeckGUEST
And, you know, for the benefits of not falling, you know, is probably one of the main reasons we should be doing it because we know that most hip fractures are a direct result of a fall.
Belinda BeckGUEST
So if you don't fall, you probably won't have that hip fracture.
Belinda BeckGUEST
So everything about this kind of loading is of benefit not just to your bones, but your whole person.
Ronald HoffmanHOST
Indeed.
Sandy JollesHOST
I think there's so much nuance to it.
Sandy JollesHOST
I really like bringing up Wolf's Law, which is, you know, your bone adapts to the load placed upon it.
Sandy JollesHOST
So if we are never going higher, you know, first staying just with that light weight every single time, then, yeah, we are going to plateau.
Sandy JollesHOST
And we're probably not going to support our bone mineral density and our muscle mass.
Angie LehmanGUEST
You know, we learn how bone grows and we learn like how muscles function, but we don't understand the why behind it.
Angie LehmanGUEST
We don't understand that whole idea of Wolf's Law where...
Angie LehmanGUEST
Like if you put pressure on bone, it will remodel.
Angie LehmanGUEST
So we learn, okay, this is class one, class two, class three malocclusion, but we don't ever talk about how did that patient get there? Like what thing was happening in their body and what things were in that patient's environment that they grew into that malocclusion? We just sort of take it at face value that like, oh, a lot of people have crooked teeth and small jaws and poor posture and they mouth breathe.
Belinda BeckGUEST
We have to get bigger.
Belinda BeckGUEST
And it's coined actually as Wolf's Law.
Belinda BeckGUEST
It's a scientific law that we all follow by overloading our bones.
Belinda BeckGUEST
That's what makes them grow.
DrewHOST
Like buy simple patterns and or unless you're a Yankees fan like John.
AlexHOST
They have a Wolf's Law hoodie that just says stress.
AlexHOST
Oh, what does
JohnGUEST
that say? It says stress
Bailey ElliotGUEST
Bone follows a biological principle that's called
Taylor CL SchoutenHOST
Wolff's Law, which basically states that bone will remodel and rebuild itself in response to the mechanical forces placed upon it.
Taylor CL SchoutenHOST
Inside of the cyst, the mechanical forces are all wrong.
Taylor CL SchoutenHOST
There's unstable micromotion and fluid pressure keeping the bone from filling in.
ConnorGUEST
Um, and there's, there's, there's also a lot of dubious science mixed in.
ConnorGUEST
The whole bone smashing thing, which sounds insane, because it is, is backed in this whole idea of, like, Wolf's Law or something of, like, the bone will heal back stronger.
ConnorGUEST
Th- th- there's no real good...
ConnorGUEST
Like, I've, I've, I've looked into this, and correct me if I'm wrong in the comments, but, like, there's no actual evidence, like real, like, sophisti- like, s- significant evidence that your bones will change their structure.
