How to Reduce Hip Fracture Risk by 50% with Dr Sandra Luliano, Phd.

Why Osteoporosis is Starting Earlier & How Nutrition for Your Bones helps

Let food be thy medicine. This has been known for thousands and thousands of years. And yet somehow we have let Big Food and their toxic processed food run riot with our health. Today’s guest has done incredible research on how small, easily achievable adjustments to calcium and protein intake can reduce an elderly person’s risk of hip fracture, and therefore likelihood of early mortality, by nearly 50%. The message of today’s show is that the more real food we can provide ourselves and our family, the stronger, healthier and longer we are going to live, together. 

Dr. Sandra Luliano is a renowned expert in integrative and functional medicine, specialising in personalised health approaches that address the root causes of chronic conditions. She is also a researcher at the University of Melbourne, based at Austin Health, where her work focuses on the benefits of improved nutrition in reducing falls and fracture risk in the elderly, particularly those in aged care. Dr. Iuliano’s research highlights the significant impact of diet and lifestyle on preventing age-related health issues, such as osteoporosis and frailty.

Join us as we explore:

  • Why the elderly are at more fracture and mortality risk due to dietary deficiencies, and how a small change in what you eat can reduce hip fracture risk by 46%.
  • Why children are not getting enough calcium and impact-type exercise during crucial early years of development and creating bone density disease later in life.
  • How to eat to get sufficient calcium, even with dairy intolerance.
  • Protein intake requirements from childhood to the elder years.
  • The highest calcium and protein foods per gram, and why quality beats quantity.
