You’re losing bone density every year after age 30.
Quietly. Slowly. Until it’s not quiet anymore, it’s a fracture. Or worse, surgery you could’ve avoided.

Here’s the thing: your bones respond to force. You want stronger bones? You have to load them. That means lifting, jumping, resisting gravity.

Cardio alone won’t cut it. Calcium alone won’t fix it.
Strength training is the only proven way to signal your bones to rebuild.

Focus on heavy, safe compound moves. Train 2–4x a week. Combine that with sunlight, good food, balance work, and consistency. You don’t need to be a bodybuilder, but you do need to move like your future depends on it.

Because it does.

🔖 Save this. You’ll wish you started sooner.

As an adult, your skeleton completely renews itself every 7–10 years. This happens through a process called bone remodelling. Specialized cells break down old bone and build new bone in its place. It’s how your body keeps bones strong, adapts to the forces it sees, repairs micro-damage, and maintains a healthy balance of minerals like calcium and phosphate which are stored in your bones and used by other organs when needed.

Your skeleton isn’t just a framework, it’s an active, living system that supports your whole body’s health.

Although osteoarthritis is more common in older people, many young people in their teens, 20s and 30s can still suffer with the condition. The symptoms are generally the same, no matter how old you are, but it can affect young people differently.

Early onset osteoarthritis can affect a young person’s ability to carry out their job or perform their favorite exercise. Older people will still be affected in the same way, but perhaps they might be retired and less keen on intense exercise or professional level sports.

Here is something interesting that you might not have known about your rib cage. Your rib cage is both solid and flexible. The many bones frame your chest cavity and protect your heart and lungs. Meanwhile, the many joints make the structure adjustable, moving and expanding with your breath and movement.

EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE WITH PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM CARPEL TUNNEL SYNDROME!
I can now take care of my patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome utilizing the UltraGuideCTR to make a smaller incision which allows for a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical techniques. I would also like to say a big thank you Sonex Health for partnering with me to make this minimally invasive technique available to more patients in the San Diego area! An exciting time for all involved!

💡 Does bone density really impact fitness performance? Absolutely.

Bone density isn’t just a long-term health concern—it’s a critical part of short-term performance, injury prevention, and athletic resilience. Strong bones help absorb impact, transfer force, and support the joints under load.

If you’re in combat sports, weightlifting, or any high-impact training, your bones are taking hits every day. Training smart means strengthening not just your muscles—but your skeleton too.

Here’s how to support bone health:
✅ Resistance and impact training
✅ Proper calcium + vitamin D intake
✅ Consistent movement and recovery

Your bones are your foundation—build them strong, train with intention.

Sometimes it’s not the big breaks - it’s the tiny cracks that go unnoticed. Don’t ignore the signs. Stress fractures start small, but they can turn into something much worse. Listen to your body and make sure you have it checked out.

Elbow pain is a right of passage for some grapplers — but not all pain should be ignored. Here’s what I see most often in Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling athletes: Hyperextension injuries, Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) sprains, and dislocations. Stay safe, tap early.

We cannot depend on feeling motivated to get the job done. This is where discipline matters. It is doing the right stuff even when you do not feel like it.
No matter the challenge or how hard the challenge might seem, don’t give up.
Working hard at a sport grows you as a person as well as keeps you fit. Stay focused. Finish strong.

If your knees ache after a run or climbing stairs, you might be dealing with Runner’s Knee. It’s not just “normal pain”—it’s your body telling you something needs attention. Overuse, weak muscles, and poor shoes are often the culprits.

Take care by building strength, stretching regularly, and choosing the right footwear. Don’t ignore persistent pain—early care means faster recovery and more miles ahead.
