A summary of this program: This talk by Dr. John Neustadt focuses on a more integrative and “whole-person” approach to osteoporosis and fracture prevention. Looking beyond bone density scores alone and focusing on actual fracture risk and bone quality. The idea that many fractures occur in people whose DEXA scans are not in the osteoporosis range. Discussion of lifestyle and medical factors that weaken bone, including poor sleep, inflammation, acid-blocking medications, SSRIs, inactivity, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal changes. Emphasis on nutrition — especially adequate protein intake, Mediterranean-style eating, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin K2 (particularly MK-4). A review of exercise, muscle strength, balance, and fall prevention as critical parts of bone protection. Discussion of hormone health and how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can influence bone remodeling. Cautions about relying only on medications without addressing underlying contributors to bone fragility. Encouragement for patients to become educated advocates for their own bone health plans. Dr. Neustadt also emphasized that osteoporosis develops gradually over decades and that improving bone health requires combining medical evaluation with nutrition, movement, sleep, and metabolic health strategies.

"The Future of Osteoporosis Treatment" by Dr. Marc N. Wein, MD., PHD

In this program, Dr. Wein, MD, PHD of Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School will be discussing new treatments under investigation used to treat osteoporosis. These advancing potential new osteoporosis therapies will be accelerated due to the FDA’s approval of Bone Mineral Density as the primary endpoint for new medications based on the SABRE recommendations. Previously, approval was based on fracture prevention, which prolonged drug development and hindered innovative research into new medications. This is an exciting change for osteoporosis research. Here is the link to the Wein Laboratory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZgVEWaRSe8 (where some of the latest technology is currently taking place.) 3/2026 Here is a link to an article printed about the new oral medication currently under testing, SK-124 https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/973616#:~:text=Wein%20and%20his%20colleagues%20generated,%2C%20and%20Radius%20Health%2C%20Inc. Dr. Marc Wein is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Member of the Broad Institute. Marc received his B.S. and M.S. from Yale University, M.D. and Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School, and was trained in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology at Massachusetts General Hospital where he currently runs his research laboratory and practices as an endocrinologist.

Take a listen and learn how eating a holistic, whole foods diet (any one of the 3 he mentions) can create real changes to your bone health. Diet may even prevent stress from affecting your bones!

In this podcast, Liam shares how everyday lifestyle and nutrition choices influence bone health as we age, and why focusing on one's overall diet—matters greatly for bone strength. He will also highlight how chronic stress may quietly undermine bone health and offer some practical guidance that will you to shape bone improved outcomes. Liam Fouhy is a Research Scientist and Biostatistician as well as an adjunct Biomedical and Nutrition Sciences professor with a focus on public health, nutrition, and disease prevention.
