Stop Fearing Your Bones: What an Orthopedic Surgeon Wants You to Know - Dr. Jocelyn Whittstein
Did you know after menopause, many women lose around 1% to 2% of bone density per year for several years, and some lose more? And it accelerates during the menopause transition, with the fastest loss typically beginning around a year before that final menstrual period. Most women don't find out until they already have an osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosis.. Or maybe you've been told your bones are just "a little low" but nobody actually explained what to do about it? We cover: Why walking and calcium supplements alone are not enough, and what actually moves the needle on bone density The difference between bone density and bone quality, and why your DEXA scan is only telling part of the story The specific types of exercise that stimulate bone formation at the hip and spine, and which popular ones don't do what you think How menopausal hormone therapy fits into the bone health picture, and can you improve bone health without HRT? What women with osteoporosis, joint pain, or a hip replacement can still safely do to build stronger bones Jocelyn Wittstein is an Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Duke University Medical School. Dr. Wittstein's research includes disorders of the shoulder, knee, and elbow, rotator cuff repair outcomes, biceps tendon disorders, patellofemoral instability, ACL injury including mechanism of injury and post traumatic arthritis, and meniscus healing. She also collaborates extensively with Duke Women's Health on the study of the intersection of musculoskeletal health and menopause including adhesive capsulitis, arthritis, and bone health. She currently serves as the medical director for the COORDS program (Clinical Outcome in Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation System) at Duke orthopaedics. Dr. Wittstein is the chair of the membership committee of AOSSM as well as a member of the education committee for AANA. She also serves as the current president of The Forum: Women in Sports Medicine.

Leading Cardiologist Shares The Cholesterol Myth That Could Be Misleading Your Heart Risk - Dr Abid Husain
Are you lean, exercising and eating right, but yet, your cholesterol shows a different story? Maybe it's super high and you cant explain why? So, high cholesterol may not always be a problem… and we actually may be over-treating numbers and missing what what actually drive heart disease. We cover: Why high LDL doesn't always mean high risk The real role of statins vs newer medications and if and when to use them How genetics, diet, and metabolism change cholesterol response What actually improves cardiovascular health (beyond labs) The surprising tools you never heard of that may support vascular function Trained in conventional cardiology, Dr. Husain recognized early the limits of reactive medicine. That insight led him to pursue advanced training in preventive, functional, hormonal, and cellular-based therapies, integrating these disciplines into a deeply individualized approach to cardiovascular care. Beyond the clinic, he serves as an educator and scientific advisor, helping clinicians and organizations rethink how we assess cardiovascular risk, resilience, and overall long-term health. He is also a multi-sport athlete, artist, and lifelong learner, because he believes true health is not just measured in years lived, but in vitality, creativity, and meaning.
