Beck explains bone as living tissue that remodels in response to mechanical loading (Wolff’s Law), arguing much age-related loss reflects insufficient stress and that targeted high-load training can rebuild bone. She contrasts exercise with calcium-only approaches, noting supplementation limits and potential cardiovascular risks, and reviews osteoporosis drugs (bisphosphonates, denosumab/Prolia, PTH analogs, romosozumab/Evenity), including rebound loss after stopping denosumab and microdamage repair issues with antiresorptives; medications don’t prevent falls. Beck describes her “LIFTMOR” trial: twice-weekly, 30-minute supervised high-intensity resistance and impact training for eight months improved spine BMD, produced hip structural strengthening, and improved functional fall-risk measures versus low-intensity controls. ONERO is a standardized, supervised program delivered by trained clinicians, can be additive with medication or hormone therapy, and locations can be found via the ONERO Academy website.\nMore Resources:\nThe ONERO® Summit website (an educational meeting for ONERO® licensees, doctors and patients/the public)\nThe Bone Clinic FB page (for information and important advances in the field of bone health in lay terms)","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/VqZUkCahxIiAeF5-K8EvRI1GWNHpDBp8Xmmm6hLF4BU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lODBh/MjZiYjExYzcxZDZh/MmFmZTQ5ZTgzYTI3/Mzk1OS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
