Tune in and learn how postbiotics can transform your health from the inside out!

Are you curious about the benefits of low-intensity vibration for bone health? In this episode, I welcome Dr. Clinton Rubin, a leading researcher and professor in biomedical engineering, to discuss how vibration therapy can help prevent fractures and improve musculoskeletal health. 

Dr. Rubin is a distinguished professor at SUNY and the Founding Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York. He also serves as the Director of the Center for Advanced Technology in Medical Biotechnology, a CAT funded by the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology, and Academic Research (NYSTAR). The Center connects the intellectual and physical resources of NY Universities to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device industries. 

Today, Dr. Rubin shares his extensive research on how mechanical signals like vibration stimulate bone cells to build strength and prevent bone loss, particularly in women with osteoporosis. He explains how low-intensity vibration, a safe and effective therapy, differs from high-intensity devices. 

We also explore exciting new studies showing how vibration therapy can boost bone strength in vulnerable populations, such as postmenopausal women and people with peripheral neuropathy.

Discover how this breakthrough technology can be part of your bone health strategy!

 

“Treating osteoporosis is not simply targeting a region of the bone. It's targeting the skeletal system and the musculoskeletal system, and the marrow that drives it." ~ Dr. Clinton Rubin
