I'll never forget meeting Betty before I opened. She gave me hope in the opening days that this community would be open to natural bone building and wellness. She has been dedicated to her own journey and has had great success. We do offer a free session to anyone who wants to try it out.

🦴 Understanding the Stages of Osteoporosis 🦴
Osteoporosis is a progressive condition that affects bone density over time. Recognizing its stages can help in early detection and management:
Normal Bone Density: Healthy bones with optimal strength and structure.
Osteopenia (Low Bone Mass): A precursor to osteoporosis; bones are weaker than normal but not yet at risk for fractures.
Osteoporosis: Significant bone loss, increasing fracture risk.
Severe Osteoporosis: Very low bone density with a high risk of fractures even with minor falls or injuries.
Early detection through bone density testing is crucial. If you're over 50, especially postmenopausal women, consider getting screened.
💡 Proactive Steps:
Weight-bearing exercises: Strengthen bones and improve balance.
Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake: Essential for bone health.
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol: Both can accelerate bone loss.
Regular screening: Helps in early identification and management.
Remember, it's never too early to start caring for your bones. Stay active, eat well, and get screened regularly.

🏗️ Build Stronger Bones with Wolff’s Law! 🦴

“Wolff’s Law” states that your bones adapt to the stress you place on them—meaning they grow stronger and denser where needed most. In practical terms:

• 🏋️‍♂️ Load them to grow them – Weight-bearing activities like lifting, resistance training, and impact exercises signal your bones to remodel and become tougher.
• ⚖️ Stress ≠ injury – Properly dosed mechanical stress is healthy and essential; it trains your skeleton to reinforce weak areas.
• 🌿 Use it or lose it – Without regular load, bone density gradually declines. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Try this bone-strengthening mini-routine:

3× a week of squats or lunges (bodyweight or light weights)

Hopping or jumping drills (e.g. box hops or skipping rope)

Farmer’s carries or resistance band rows

OsteoStrong Session 1x a week

Highlighting Wolff’s Law can help your followers understand why your fitness strategy matters—not just for muscles, but for building a bone-strong foundation.

Working out in the gym can help you be more consistent in your OsteoStrong session, but you are doing something totally different at your OS session. Working out gives you a sarcoplasmic adaptation whereas OsteoStrong gives you a myofibril adaptation. The myofibril is where your strength and power comes from and how we help with type 2 diabetes. Also, you can see on the graph, you are getting high impact in a short amount of time at OsteoStrong. We can help anyone at any age. Give us a call! 828-270-0918

Wellness Wednesday: Susan came to OsteoStrong Hickory at her husband's request. She has seen improved balance and a bone density increase on her REMS scans. She never thought she would be driving over an hour to Hickory once a week but says it is totally worth the investment and drive. Susan is also a lover of the BioCharger NG as it has helped with the pain and inflammation in her knee from a hiking injury. Changing lives is what it is all about. Make your free consult appointment today! 828-270-0918
