Episode 231

It was once thought that once you have a diagnosis of osteopenia and especially osteoporosis, loading our bones with resistance and weight training would be incredibly risky and completely off limits. My guest today has changed that old belief with her groundbreaking research, discoveries and subsequent Brisbane-based clinic which is improving the lives of Australians and many others throughout the world with their accreditation program.

This episode will provide you with all you need to know about having coeliac disease or being gluten free for other reasons and how we can improve and maintain our bone health and just why that is so crucial to our overall health and long term wellbeing.

My guest on today’s episode is the founder of The Bone Clinic and the program ONERO, Professor Belinda Beck. We’ll talk about the crucial role of bone health, how to improve our bone health when living with conditions such as coeliac disease and how we can build back bone from osteopenia and even osteoporosis.
