• 00:00:00 Neal VanDeRee, the officiator, welcomes attendees and announces an upcoming event, the Global Cryonic Summit, taking place in Miami on July 20th and 21st. The summit is organized by the Cryosphere and promises interactive presentations, discussions, workshops, and debates, allowing participants to connect with peers and industry veterans in person.
• 00:05:00 Kyle Zagrodzky is introduced as a serial entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Osteo Strong. He has earned over $100 million in revenue from several companies and is known for his frequent appearances at Tony Robbins events, where he speaks on biohacking and OsteoStrong. OsteoStrong is the largest global biohacking franchise in the world, focusing on delivering physical freedom through new scientific discoveries. The company operates as a skeletal strengthening health center with locations around the world, with the support of Tony Robbins. Kyle’s presentation at the event will cover the topic of “Fracture Proof.”
• 00:10:00 Kyle discusses his background as a serial entrepreneur and the passion he has for his company, OsteoStrong, which aims to enhance strength, balance, endurance, and bone density. He explains that bone density starts to decrease after the age of 30, and women experience a more significant loss during menopause. Fragile bones can lead to serious consequences, such as hip fractures, which have a higher mortality rate than breast cancer. Osteoporosis is also linked to muscle loss, dementia, type 2 diabetes, and poor balance, which increases the risk of mortality.
• 00:15:00 Kyle discusses the significant economic and health consequences of bone loss. He shares that collectively, Europe, America, and Canada spend between five and six and a half trillion dollars annually on treating osteoporotic fractures, a number that does not include preventative measures or indirect costs. The problem of bone loss is increasing, with studies showing that human bone density has been decreasing since 1900. Zagrodzky warns that bone density could become a critical issue for civilization’s survival. To maintain strong bones, he recommends focusing on three key areas: nutrients, particularly calcium from plant-based sources, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2; collagen protein; and minerals like phosphorus, magnesium, and boron. He emphasizes the importance of taking vitamin K2 before vitamin D3 for optimal absorption.
• 00:20:00 Kyle discusses the importance of maintaining bone health and the role of nutrition, hormones, and stimulation. He mentions that sugars and soft drinks should be avoided due to their acidity, which can lead to calcium being pulled from bones. Alcohol is also mentioned as something that can make the stomach more alkaline and interfere with meal digestion. Hypothyroidism, autoimmune diseases, poor nutrition, and low testosterone or estrogen are other factors that can contribute to bone loss. The foundation for good bone health includes nutrition, hormone optimization, and stimulation. Dr. Julius Wolf’s discovery of Wolf’s Law in the 1890s established that bone remodels itself when enough pressure is applied. However, research by Dr. Kevin Deer found that people were unable to trigger osteogenesis unless they experienced a minimum of 4.2 multiples of their own body weight in force. This means that while exercise is important for overall health, it may not be enough to effectively build bone. The Fracture Proof program, developed by Dr. John Jaquish, aims to help individuals determine if they are getting enough impact force to build bone by using an iPhone app.
• 00:25:00  Kyle shares an experiment he conducted using an accelerometer app on his phone to measure the force of his jumps. He tried to achieve 4.2 multiples of his body weight without bending his knees to minimize impact on his joints. He also introduced Osteo Strong’s devices that help isolate specific areas of the body to emulate high impact force without the actual impact. One woman in her mid-60s was shown in the presentation, who was able to impose over 1,000 pounds of force through her lower extremities while using the device, resulting in increased bone density without pain or discomfort. A study by Dr. John Jaquish and Basil Hunt in 2012 compared the results of using OsteoStrong’s devices to other methods increasing bone density, showing significant results despite being a smaller study.
• 00:30:00  Various methods for increasing bone density were discussed based on research studies. Calcium and vitamin D3 supplements slowed the rate of bone loss but did not significantly increase density for those doing no activity. Walking showed no change, and whole-body vibration had minimal impact. A highly controlled study showed that heavy weight-bearing exercise could increase bone density, but it’s not practical or safe for most people. Bisphosphonate drugs, such as Prolia and Boniva, can increase bone density by 2-4% per year but have limitations and side effects. A promising drug called teriparatide, or Forteo, increased bone density by 7% in one year but is only prescribed in extreme cases due to potential side effects like bone cancer. The OsteoStrong study showed a 14% increase in bone density in six months, but it was not a one-year study like others, and it was conducted on postmenopausal women. NASA conducted a small pilot study on the effectiveness of OsteoStrong for astronauts, who experience massive bone and muscle density loss in space.
• 00:35:00  A powerlifter named Dr. Sun participated in a six-month study at OsteoStrong, resulting in a 6.28% increase in her cortical bone density throughout her entire body and a 54% increase in strength. Dr. Sun, a professional powerlifter, was amazed by the physical strength gains, as a 3% increase in weight lifted typically takes her three months of intense gym training. The athletic performance improvements are significant for various athletes, including golfers, swimmers, and long-distance cyclists. Recently, two studies were funded, with one in Greece involving 140 subjects and another in Sweden with 183 subjects. The Greek study, led by researcher Dr. George Coros, looked at both cortical and trabecular bone density, balance, physical strength, and A1C (long-term blood glucose marker) for diabetics. The abstract of the study revealed a 2.1% increase in spine bone density and a 1.73% increase in trabecular bone density for the OsteoStrong group, while the control group had minimal change.
• 00:40:00  Kyle discusses the results of a study on bone density and strength gains through OsteoStrong sessions. The study showed that the OsteoStrong group had a 179% greater increase in cortical bone tissue and a 200% improvement in tacular bone density compared to the control group. Additionally, a case report of 500 people aged 52 and above revealed a 290% increase in the amount of force they could generate over four years. Another benefit of OsteoStrong was its effect on reducing A1C levels, which is associated with metabolic dysfunction. The study showed that doing OsteoStrong sessions for three months reduced A1C levels more effectively than cardiovascular exercise or metformin. OsteoStrong also helps reduce joint and back pain for most people, and Kyle shares his personal experience of experiencing significant pain relief after starting OsteoStrong sessions.
• 00:45:00  Kyle shares personal stories of individuals who have experienced significant pain relief and improved balance after using OsteoStrong, a bone density training program. He mentions that some people have even canceled scheduled hip and knee replacement surgeries due to the program’s effectiveness. The presentation also highlights the dramatic improvement in balance, with individuals able to stand on one foot for longer periods after undergoing the training. Kyle encourages those interested to try a free session and invites questions from the audience. One question pertains to the impact of GLP-1 agonists and SGLT2 Inhibitors on bone health, but Kyle does not have the specific data on hand. He cautions about the potential side effects of new weight loss drugs and medications on bone health. The presentation concludes with Kyle acknowledging the growing attention OsteoStrong is receiving from mainstream medicine and the increasing number of referring physicians.
• 00:50:00 Kyle shares stories of individuals increasing bone density without medication and achieving better results than with medication. One example is a woman who experienced a significant increase in bone density during a Dexa scan, leaving her doctor amazed. United Healthcare is reportedly covering the cost of the program in some cases, and larger studies are being conducted to approach Medicare and other health insurance providers. The presentation then shifts to explaining how the machines used in the program work. The devices allow individuals to produce seven times more force in their strongest range of motion, which is not in use when the body is locked into a static position. The sessions are safe and controlled, with no weight coming down on the person during or after the session. Over 11 million sessions have been conducted at OsteoStrong with only a few dozen injuries, making it an incredibly safe method for improving bone health. The presentation also addresses a question about whether the process works for individuals with bone-on-bone conditions.
• 00:55:00  Kyle discusses his experience with joint and back pain, and how osteo-articulation therapy, a method that involves pushing bones together, helped alleviate his pain. He explains that most joint pain is caused by an impinged nerve between the joint, and when one applies force to the joint, the joint capsule fills with fluid, causing a natural decompression. Additionally, the muscles and supporting ligaments around the joint are strengthened, allowing the joint to rest apart and potentially relieve bone-on-bone contact. Zagrodzky also touches on bone density tests, explaining that they use low levels of radiation and measure the amount of X-ray that can pass through the bone to determine density. However, he notes that different machines can give varying results, making it important to use the same machine for consistent readings.

01:00:00 – 01:20:00

The discussion covered various aspects of bone health and bone density scans. DEXA scans provide T-scores and Z-scores, with negative Z-scores indicating potential health issues. New scanners can assess cortical and trabecular bone density, reducing the need for bisphosphonates. The presentation also explored space applications, where bone loss occurs due to weightlessness, and the effectiveness of using devices to apply high forces for bone density enhancement. Zagrodzky emphasized the importance of plant-based calcium sources and shared ongoing clinical study results. The presentation was praised for its legitimacy and evidence-based content, with Kyle sharing his mission to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual freedom. He also discussed the importance of exceptional customer service and learning about health and longevity hacks.

• 01:00:00 The discussion revolves around bone density scans and their significance. DEXA scans measure bone density, providing two scores: a T-score and a Z-score. The T-score indicates how an individual’s bone density compares to the peak bone mass of a healthy 30-year-old, while the Z-score shows how the person’s bone density compares to others of the same age and gender. A negative Z-score implies potential health issues, such as autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, or cancer, causing bone loss. New bone density scanners can now assess both cortical and trabecular bone density, providing a fragility score, which may reduce the use of bisphosphonates, a common drug for bone density treatment, as it does not improve fragility scores. NASA is known for astronauts experiencing significant bone loss in space, but specific information on their use of bone density treatments is not publicly available.
• 01:05:00  The topic shifts to space applications and the benefits of using the machines to stimulate bone density in weightlessness. Zagrodzky explains that in space, the body doesn’t need bones since there’s no gravity, leading to bone loss. Exercise, while helpful, doesn’t build bone density as fast as it’s lost in weightlessness. However, using the devices to apply high force on the bones can increase bone density, even surpassing the levels of gymnasts. The presentation then moves on to a question about isometric exercise and the difference between it and the machines used in the presentation. Isometric exercise involves pressing against an immovable object with one time body weight, while the devices used in the presentation can apply much higher forces, making them more effective for bone density enhancement.
• 01:10:00 Kyle shares his views on FDA approval and the importance of plant-based calcium sources for bone health. Zagrodzky mentions that he never pursued FDA approval due to the high cost and limited business growth benefits. Instead, he suggests advertising the results of studies to promote the exercise’s clinical benefits without making any curative claims. Regarding calcium sources, Zagrodzky recommends algae, cow, or energy bits, emphasizing the superiority of plant-based calcium sources over calcium carbonate. He explains that calcium carbonate, which is less absorbable, can even stick to arteries, making it less effective. Calcium citrate, although not as absorbable as plant-based calcium, is a better alternative to calcium carbonate. When asked about ongoing clinical studies, Zagrodzky shares that the results are in peer review, which could take anywhere from 6 months to 18 to 24 months to be published. He plans to highlight these studies in the second addition to his book, emphasizing the effectiveness of their solution for bone density, muscle strength, balance, and A1C levels.
• 01:15:00 Kyle is praised for delivering a legitimate, informational, and evidence-based presentation. The audience member expresses his satisfaction with the program and shares his personal experience. Kyle explains that bone remodeling takes a week, and visiting the center only once a week is sufficient to stimulate bone growth without causing fatigue or pain. He also mentions that they have patented new devices and technologies, and have structured their business with a parent company and several subsidiaries to protect their intellectual property. Kyle shares his personal mission to elevate people to their highest level of physical, emotional, and spiritual freedom.
• 01:20:00  Kyle discusses the importance of creating a company culture that fosters exceptional customer service and the value of learning about health and longevity hacks. He shares his personal experience of not having all the answers but knowing the right people to contact when needed. Kyle expresses his gratitude for the opportunity to present and encourages attendees to share the event with others. Neal VanDeeRee, the Facilitator mentions that the presentation has been recorded and can be viewed on their YouTube channel, and invites everyone to join them next month for an in-person and hybrid Zoom event featuring Brian Clement of the Hypocrite Health Institute. Additionally, Kyle briefly touches upon the affordability of the health supplements he promotes.
