Summary:

I talk about why most bone mass is genetically fixed, what the newest research actually shows about resistance and impact training, and why the real goal is preventing falls, not only chasing bone density increases.

03:36 – What actually works: resistance vs. impact vs. low-impact activity
06:35 – Breaking down the Lift More study results
11:07 – Why preventing falls matters more than chasing bone density
16:04 – DEXA scans and my closing takeaway
