In this milestone 30th episode of InnerSight, we welcome dual-qualified physician & functional medicine expert Dr Roos. We explore why healthy bones are much more than structural support — they’re central to mobility, resilience, and longevity. We dig into the science of Osteoporosis: what happens when bone density and architecture deteriorate, how risk increases with age, hormonal changes and lifestyle, and why fractures can dramatically impact quality of life.

But rather than waiting for a fracture to strike, Dr Roos advocates a proactive, “buy-your-future-mobility” approach. Drawing from a functional medicine framework, we discuss how optimized nutrition (calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium, protein), inflammation management, gut health, balanced hormones and tailored exercise — especially weight-bearing and resistance training — work together to maintain bone strength over time.

We contrast standard guidelines (focused on bone mineral density, scanning, and pharmacological treatment) with a longevity-oriented mindset: building “functional bone quality,” reducing fracture risk, and supporting whole-body health. With Dr Roos’s dual expertise, we unpack what bone health really means — not just surviving, but thriving into older age.

Tune in to discover concrete strategies for safeguarding your skeletal future and unlocking your maximum potential for lifelong strength.
