Simonson walks through mechanotransduction, the process by which the simple impact of a footstep signals the skeleton to rebuild itself, and how his company built the microimpact device Juvent around that discovery.\nThey get into why cushioned running shoes can work against your bones, why a proton pump inhibitor prescribed for heartburn can quietly starve the body of calcium, and why more stimulation isn't always better; Simonson's own protocol is just ten to twenty minutes a day. He also shares what he's seeing in Parkinson's patients using microimpact for lymphatic drainage, and why physician-guided bone density programs are seeing gains of three to six percent a year. If you've ever been told your bone density will only keep declining, this conversation makes the case that it doesn't have to.\nKey Takeaways:\n\n0:00 Introduction \n0:30 From spinal implant surgeries to discovering the protein behind chronic back and joint pain \n11:35 \"If you lie, you die\": why constant motion drives cellular repair \n17:17 Olympic swimmers with osteopenia, and why osteoporosis often starts in the teen years \n25:11 Unexpected results in Parkinson's patients: microimpact and the brain's lymphatic system \n28:30 The right dose: ten to twenty minutes a day, and why more isn't better \n31:40 Panic attacks, arrhythmias and restless legs: the hidden signs of calcium deficiency \n38:18 Why Juvent alone won't fix osteoporosis, and the physician-guided programs seeing 3 to 6 percent bone density gains a year \n\nSchedule a Free...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Xtux76qDp9ZQM4F5izSiY802yaSPvHgvs-Y_zx-iMSM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNmI1/YzRmNzllOTBhMDJh/MWM0Mjc1M2RjZGRm/MDgyNy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
