1: My Journey to Stronger Bones with Debi Robinson

Today, I am sharing why I am so dedicated to helping women understand the root cause of their bone loss. Many women think their diagnosis is the end but wIth the right diet, sleep, and exercise, it is possible to stop, slow down, or even reverse bone loss. After I was told my hip joint collapsed I felt delicate and weak. I was afraid of further injuring my hip and consequently stopped exercising which only worsened my condition. By healing my body as a whole and committing to a strengthening yoga routine, I not only regained flexibility but I no longer feel fragile. I know what broken feels like, which is why I am equipping you with the tools to strengthen your bones or hopefully avoid bone loss altogether. Bone remodeling is a metabolic process which is why your diet, exercise, and lifestyle heavily influence the health of your bones. With simple lifestyle changes you can heal your gut and invigorate your bones again. I created this podcast to educate and inspire you because there is hope for a stronger, healthier, and more flexible tomorrow.

So practicing and keeping our bodies strong and mobile and at the same time doing it in the safest manner possible is the real key for me.” [7:55] “When you are practicing something like yoga or anything where you’re going to be stretching muscles and joints and putting pressure on them, that you do it safely. Because there is one side where we do strengthening and that’s great but there is the other side where injuries can happen as well.” [9:50] “Bone remodeling is really an act of metabolism. The bones are building, dissolving, building, dissolving and what we do all day, every day, either is contributing to building or contributing to dissolving.” [15:45] To learn more about me and to stay connected, click on the links below: Instagram: @debirobinsonwellness Website: DebiRobinson.com Healthy Gut Healthy Bones Program Scotland Retreat 2023 Cultural Immersion to Bali 2023
