I’m fortunate to be able to attend an Onero program (the program developed by Belinda Beck). I have been doing this program for 18 months, deadlifting up to 45kg, barbell squat 32kg and overhead press at 9kg (it’s my weakest exercise). I’m also now doing drop jumps having graduated through stomps and heel drops. I’ve definitely developed my strength and all the measures Belinda spoke about. My posture has improved incredibly. I still have 6 months before my next Dexa but I know my back is so much stronger (and my physio has told me how much my spinal muscles have improved and my back straightened). Can I just say, Belinda’s work is outstanding but her efforts in pushing through with getting the program out there for ordinary people to improve their bone health. She genuinely cares about older people having grea outcomes.

[@lindashobe-e7j]

I am one of those people who saw you casually mention this program on one of your podcasts back in February. I did some digging and found videos etc about the LIFTMORE study. Finding there was not an Onero program in Fort Worth, I familiarized myself with the exercise plan, then shared with my trainer. With my baseline DEXA score in hand, I started the program at the end of February. About two weeks ago, October 2024, I got a new DEXA scan and it’s already showing improved bone density! I’m 69yo and I’m deadlifting 115 pounds! I can’t believe it! Thank you do Dr. Belinda Beck at The Bone Clinic, and a huge thank you Dr. Attia for mentioning this program in the first place. You have changed my life! So glad you two were able to have a great conversation together. 👍

[@marymorrison9370]

As a physical therapist in an outpatient rehab clinic, I utilized the principles found in the Beck, et al. studies. The facility's Bone Health SIG developed an osteoporosis and bone health competency for all therapists in the large organization. Patients who were able to participate in the HiRIT prescription DID improve their BMD. At age 66, I perform the 2 x week HiRIT program myself. My PT friends have challenged me about the intensity and exercise; I follow the data and my clinical judgement. Bravo for acknowledging the particular expertise of PTs! Thanks for a great podcast.

Thank you so much for this podcast. A little over a year ago after hip bursitis and not being active at 65 I had lost a lot of muscle and strength and knew I had low BMD. I was losing my independence, needed help moving and lifting things which sucked. Google age related muscle loss and found research on sarcopenia. And Osteosarcopenia which described me. Ran across the Liftmor study and it inspired me to start resistance training. I have always done cardio when not injured but after a year of careful resistance training I feel so much stronger, stable and no longer have to ask for help moving and picking up things!

I have always been a skinny kid so I started lifting weights at age 11. I weighed 140 lbs when I graduated High School in 1967. At a bodyweight of 140 lbs I could do squats with 300 lbs and do a half squat with 600 lbs. I am now 76 years old and I have never taken a prescription and no aches or pains. Maybe the ten years of heavy weight lifting help. Still weigh 140 lbs.

Thank you for continuing to inform on this important topic and I’m sure it will inspire many to start lifting. As a woman with postmenopausal osteoporosis who wasn’t offered HRT at menopause due to the advice at the time, I’ve been forced down the pharmaceutical path. I lift weights regularly and live a healthy lifestyle as best I can. The guest did not indicate if any of her study subjects were on bone density drugs. I would love to listen to a future podcast about the effects positive/negative of long term use of bone density drugs.

@@anneteak6633 In the original trial, the participants were not on bone medication. She did a much smaller trial (can’t remember the name) where she specifically tested a group doing the exercise only, a group on bone meds only and a group who were taking meds and doing the program. The findings showed bone density improvement in both the med only group and the exercise only group. Apparently the group doing both also improved but they did not better the improvement of the other two groups, which surprised her. You’d have to hunt around for the actual name of the study - perhaps Google Belinda Beck.

Great podcast, but I feel there should have been more emphasis on what happens under conditions of energy deficit - in both sexes. I’m thinking of amenorrhoea (especially primary amenorrhoea) in girls and women and over-exercise combined with under-eating (relative energy deficiency in sports = RED-S) in both sexes. Anorexia nervosa, because it usually starts in childhood, prevents the acquisition of adequate bone mass during adolescence due to malnutrition and neuroendocrine aberrations. And if this eating disorder continues into adulthood, which often it does, there can be severe osteoporosis and fractures at young ages.

[@johnschuch8232]

@PeterAttiaMD, this is great content. However, it directly contradicts the advice given by Stuart McGill in a previous episode of your podcast.

[@debkard-v7o]

I agree with Dr. Attia response on vit D...."Oh boy,"

[@lift-l3f]

The question I would have asked Belinda is, does she see continued improvement after 6 years or is improvement simply not getting worse. In 2019 (age 63) I had my first dexa scan and had a T-score in my spine at L2 -3.4 and L4 -2.7. I scoured the internet for exercise and found the Liftmore study and the inspiring TV spots on the study and decided to copy it. I briefly had a trainer. In 2022 using the same Dexa scan machine L2 was at -3.1 but L4 was at -2.1. I decided that my form might account for the L2 not improving as much as L4 so I studied a lot of training videos. Now in 2024 my L2 is at -2.7 and my L4 is still at -2.1. I think form helped the L2 somewhat but I also think that getting a qualified trainer in the first place would have helped quite a bit. Also my hips have improved only slightly from -1.Right Femur to -.09 which is statistically insignificant but I'll take it as win since it's not getting worse. Also during 2020 I had no gym and the weights I purchased weren't quite as heavy so I missed progressive weight training for a year. I reached my weight maximum 2 years ago so improvement from here seems unlikely but I try to load using more reps and work on form all the time. I've had a couple of Primary care Drs. and Endocrinologist and no one would take an interest in the study. I think that the study has to be redone in the United States for mainstream Drs. to treat it like the medicine that it is. And I hope that Dr. Attia will suggest that to all the researchers he's in contact with.

It is only available in a few centers in the US and mostly used for research. Since Dexa is only recommended every 2 years, perhaps this would be a way for some of us to monitor our progress more frequently ( demonstrating a benefit on BMD may keep people motivated to stay on the program)

You would need to work up to it, weight wise. You can start the deadlift motion with a dumbbell in each hand, with the proper form you can avoid back pain and work up to heavier weights/barbell. I'm 55 and am deadlifting and doing squats with a weighted barbell.

@@kimberlyf4888 I have also seen that jumping does more for bone density than even weights so I will keep up with the weights and try to incorporate jumping. Unfortunately, once bone density is gone, it takes a lot to try to improve, so hopefully I can at least stop or slow. Astronauts going in space have to take bone density medication along with diet and exercise because of how much they loose. It is an uphill battle for sure once it is gone. Everyone under 30 needs to do what they can.

[@magpiegirl3783]

With respect … Belinda Beck is an expert amongst other experts who make it clear that heavy exercise and impact are necessary for bone stimulation. Interestingly, the NASA astronauts do similar exercises to regain bone lost in space. The studies on bone adaption are pretty consistent. Deadlift can be learned even for people with “sore” backs. There is no easy way of growing bone especially once it is lost, same as growing muscles.

[@stacydelmore]

@@magpiegirl3783 You should not assume when someone says they can not do something it might not be just because they are "sore" without knowing what medically in a KZbin chat is actually wrong. She is absolutely right that you need to do a lot to regain bone loss. In the study they were lifting 150 pounds dead lift with all the other exercises.... and that barely made a difference. Exercise is always best, but there are only so many women that could lift really heavy. Key is to get the best bone you can before you are 30 as stated.... And unless Your DEXA score is really bad, and you are at point of breaking a bone for no good cause...it should not be a scare tactic. You sure don't want to hurt your self in another way for something that may or may not be a problem down the road. Exercise and diet is great for everything and should be a first line measure done the best one can.

@@stacydelmore I responded to the comment which indicated significant doubt that squats and deadlifts were out of the range of someone with back problems, osteo and that “no one” she knows does that kind of stuff. My response indicates that many experts have looked at the question of exercise for older people and inc,uses those with various problems. It has been found to be beneficial and as Belinda indicated in her talk, post menopausal women often present with other problems such as arthritis, scoliosis, etc that a trained therapist can help to manage during the Onero exercise program. I have osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and s-curve scoliosis and mild kyphosis which has significantly resolved doing the Liftmore (Onero) program, now deadlifting 45kg, squatting 32kg after 18 months. My comment was made because many women particularly “doubt” they can manage a lifting program and therefore don’t pursue it. So you are the one making assumptions. I made no comment about “being sore” and how would you know that “only so many women” could lift heavy when thousands through the bone clinic program testify otherwise? Perhaps you might like to research Onero and find out a little more? The naysayers are probably doing themselves and others a disservice by making assumptions about women lifting heavy.

Curious about Pilates? Helpful to bones?

[@georgannedermigny5992]

@peterattia Huberman had stacy sims on recently and she talked about heavy lifting as well. however, she states that women who’ve been in menopause for a longer period of time as opposed to pre and early menopause, should be doing shorter periods of time but more frequently. specifically 15-20 minutes 4 times per week. curious about this. perhaps i cam check w the bone clinic via email. thanks so much for this podcast!

A friend 61yrs. Swimmer as main & only activity since teenage years. Office job so limited Manual labour & limited sun exposure. Is it no surprise they have osteoporosis. With fractures in the vertebra?

I'm in Brisbane, striking distance to the bone clinic. They keep some of their protocols underwraps and I respect that. By the time I found out about them I was maybe 6 months post diagnosis and making some of the same interventions I would have with them. I'll get fresh dexa scans at the 12 month mark. If I'm not happy with where I end up the bone clinic is my next stop.

[@johnl6176]

The Bone Clinic can do DXA scans in-house.

[@standUpForTurtles]

@@johnl6176 cheers if the stuff I'm already doing is working I'll just stick with that. If I'm not getting good results the bone clinic is plan b.

Great interview, as always! Thank you. Anyhow, I was surprised to hear that Belinda recommends consuming dairy for calcium intake. I read elsewhere that the fact that countries where dairy consumption has been extremely low, for example in most asian countries, osteoporosis has been significantly lower than in countries with higher dairy consumption. How does that go together?

[@patangel1652]

Yes I have read and heard the same many times as well. So frustrating when these professionals can’t agree

[@magpiegirl3783]

Is it dairy alone that causes this difference, or is it that the Asian diets are very different, especially in countries that consume soy and soy products such as Japan?

[@Jaris-Kraftraum]

@@magpiegirl3783 I guess no one knows for sure what in the asian diet made their bones stronger. But apparently they’ve had much lower rates of osteoporosis when their diet was still basically void of dairy. Now that they started consuming dairy, osteoporosis is on the rise. But if it was the soy that made the asian bones stronger, I still wonder why Mrs Beck is recommending dairy, not tofu. 🤷‍♂️

[@asr9217]

If you can tolerate dairy then lots of evidence for yoghurt but quite a few can't tolerate hence mixed results

[@stevencole7331]

The question should be should we be substainally adding supplpliments to our children because we know most cant even cone close to what is needed for nutrision from just consuming food . They probably need labs to see what supplinents that can help witt difficencies

[@davidgrimes4726]

If you live north of the 40th parallel in the US, I would highly advise measuring a child's Vitamin D every 2-3 years starting at age 8. There is no way in Seattle for example that kids with a modern indoor lifestyle are going to get above 30ng/mL without supplementation unless they literally live off fatty fish and egg yolks. Perhaps in TX the situation is different.

This was excellent, but it would also be really great if you would use your voice to advocate for the children whose bone health is being ruined by puberty blockers because they have parents and/or professionals involved in their lives who won't tell them that being gender non-conforming is perfectly normal and that NO ONE is "born in the wrong body." Puberty blockers permanently compromise these children's bone development and it's happening often enough that it should have been mentioned here.

[@jacqueandrew1033]

You badly missed the key point on men and osteoporosis. A man getting a broken hip at 70 with osteoporosis has a very poor recovery rate . I am sure you have all the data.

Then estrogen positive breast cancer diagnosis means estrogen exacerbates breast cancer and you are told to diminish estrogen, causes bone deterioration.
