#80 - The Bone Density Wake-Up Call—with Sarah Glicken

And then Precision Bone Health was recently.

recently.So precision bone imaging came out of, you know, lots of research and, and interest in improving the bone health world.

Because what is really true that, that I've noticed, um, is that there's so much confusion and so many people who don't know what to do.

You know, most people don't even wind up getting a DEXA scan until they're 65, which is-

Which is what the government tells you, and that's way too late.

Way too late.

If we think that, like, as you said in the intro, that we reach peak bone mass when we're 30, why would we wait until we're 65 to, to, to check our bones for the first time, you know? You can't manage what you don't measure.

Yeah.

And if you haven't measured it ever until you're 65 years old, there's a big problem.

So but there's also a lot of problems with DEXA scans.

And so when I discovered this Italian ultrasound technology called REMS, that's, uh...

The, the brand is called EchoLight, and there are very few devices in the US, and s- so precision bone imaging came out of that, of a need.

There was a need for this, and we wanted to, to, to bring it more to the forefront in, in this country.

So there are only about 60 devices in the entire US at this point.

Wow.

And so, um, just in one or two sentences, describe the difference between OsteoStrong and Precision Bone for our listeners.

Sure.

So OsteoStrong is, uh, a place that you go with a technology that increases bone density.

So it's based off of the concept that bones are living things-

Mm-hmm

... and that they can be remodeled under high impact force.

We know that to be true from science.

So it is a technology that does end-to-end compression of your bones, which triggers what's called osteogenesis, to build your bones.

And then we have a lot of health optimization, um, strategies as well.

We have red light therapy and various frequency devices and that sort of thing.
