I'm Dr. Andy Galpin, a professor and director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University. With this podcast, my goal is to help you better understand and maximize your own physical and mental performance, leveraging my two decades of experience with elite performers, including Olympians and world champions across numerous sports. The goal is to cover a range of tools, technologies, and strategies designed to help everyone—from beginners to record-breaks, and everyone in between. While not all of us are elite athletes—myself included—there are countless lessons and tools we can learn from those performing at the highest levels. And remember, as legendary coach Bill Bowerman stated, \"If you have a body, you are an athlete.\" If you're not already, I hope you'll consider starting to train and recover like one.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T18:17:09.612365+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/perform-with-dr-andy-galpin-6754078"},"episode":{"title":"Enhancing Bone Health at Every Age","slug":"enhancing-bone-health-at-every-age","published_at":"2025-02-26T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/perform-with-dr-andy-galpin-6754078/enhancing-bone-health-at-every-age","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/perform-with-dr-andy-galpin-6754078","url":"https://performpodcast.com/enhancing-bone-health-at-every-age/","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/SCIM5316130870.mp3?updated=1740765260","summary":"Bone health is often dismissed as something only “old people” or postmenopausal women should worry about, but evidence clearly indicates that poor bone health is extremely common—even among young, healthy people, including men. It is also highly preventable and reversible through various lifestyle and other modifiable factors. In this episode, I explain what bone health actually means; bone loss conditions like osteoporosis and osteopenia; how the bone remodeling process works; why poor bone health is increasing at a surprising rate; and, most importantly, exactly what to do to prevent or reverse bone loss. I discuss the three I’s—investigate, interpret, and intervene—to help assess your bone health. I explain how high-intensity impact training, nutrition, and certain supplements can improve bone health. Finally, I explore emerging treatments, such as stem cells, peptides, and light therapy, and their potential for improving bone healing. Read the full episode show notes at performpodcast.com.
