Did you know that, in the United States alone, one in two women and one in four men over the age of 50 will have a fracture due to osteoporosis?
And if this happens to be a hip fracture, 24% will die within a year due to complications, while an even higher percentage will never be independent again.
The most unfortunate part is that conventional doctors typically just prescribe vitamin D, calcium, and maybe a non-specific form of exercise…then immediately put you on medication without examining root causes.
In this episode, Margie Bissinger, a physical therapist with over 25 years of experience treating osteoporosis, reveals the real culprits behind the bone density epidemic, including sugar, gluten sensitivity and gut inflammation, proton-pump inhibitors like Nexium and Prilosec, corticosteroids, antidepressants, stress and cortisol, and sedentary behavior.
Listen to the full episode to get all of Margie’s actionable information to avoid or even begin reversing osteoporosis.

![The Neuroscience of Fixing Anxiety Fast Do This Every Day
Are you constantly battling anxiety, rumination, or a restless mind? The answer to fixing it might be much simpler (and faster) than you think. In this episode of The Energy Blueprint podcast, Ari Whitten sits down with internationally recognized neuro-coach and bestselling author Mark Waldman. They dive deep into the groundbreaking new field of Network Neuroscience—a shift that fundamentally transforms everything we thought we knew about how the brain functions.
Mark explains why traditional models of the brain (like viewing the amygdala as just the fear center) are outdated, and how focusing on brain networks holds the key to unlocking peak performance and emotional regulation. Discover the shocking reason why traditional psychotherapy often fails to beat a placebo, why your brain doesnt actually store memories in a single location, and the profoundly simple, 60-second meta-awareness exercises—like mindful yawning—that can rapidly cool down an overheated, anxious brain.
In this video, you will learn:
• What Network Neuroscience is and why its revolutionizing mental health
• The surprising science of yawning and how it acts as a radiator to cool off brain stress
• Why traditional therapy and analyzing your past might actually be making your anxiety worse
• The exact 60-second exercise to rebalance your brains default mode and executive networks
