  #23 Pt3: Skeleton in the Closet - Stress, Trauma, HRT and the Full Risk Picture for Women's Bones

  Sep 28, 202639 min

  Send us Fan Mail In the final part of this three-part series, Gary Rhodes covers the complete risk factor landscape for bone loss — including the underappreciated role of emotional trauma and chronic stress. He gives a frank assessment of bisphosphonates and injectable bone drugs, makes a clear case for HRT as bone-protective, and connects skeletal health to the entire body system. Followed by curveball questions: books, investments, morning protocols, and the Tony Robbins partnership that has defined much of Gary's public platform. Key topics: Full risk factor list: smoking, alcohol, stress, trauma, drugs, hormonal contraception, eating disorders, over-exercising, non-weight-bearing sport, cancer treatment, genetic predisposition Emotional trauma and self-kindness as bone health variables Bisphosphonates: mechanism (slowing osteoclasts), place, and concerns about early prescription Injectable bone drugs: spontaneous fractures and the trabecular glueing concern HRT: oestrogen's bone-protective role; Dr Vonda Wright and Dr Louise Newson advocacy Genetic factors: predispositions to absorption, DNA testing Whole-body connections: bone marrow, magnesium storage, cardiovascular, cognitive, neurological links Mortality statistics: 15–30% death risk within 12 months of hip fracture over 65 Osteoporosis kills more people than breast cancer and ovarian cancer combined Screen My Bones platform: 50,000 screening target, integrated health data roadmap Curveball: billboard message ("Osteoporosis is a choice") Curveball: current work (Screen My Bones platform, 50,000 scan target) Curveball: sidekick — Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) Curveball: books — Unbreakable (Dr Vonda Wright), The 7 Habits (Stephen Covey), The 48 Laws of Power (Robert Greene), Dharma (Amish Tripathi), Tao Te Ching (Wayne Dyer) Curveball: purchase under £100 — water bottle Curveball: purchase under £1,000 — BrainTap headset (~$500–600) Curveball: best investment — Tony Robbins UPW event (2012) Curveball: unusual habit — ice bath + sauna 3–4x/week as morning protocol; cortisol awareness, no coffee until post-workout Tony Robbins firewalk story (walked the coals three times in one night) References and resources mentioned: Dr Vonda Wright — Unbreakable (book) Stephen Covey — The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (book) Robert Greene — The 48 Laws of Power (book) Amish Tripathi — Dharma: Decoding the Epics for a Meaningful Life (book) Wayne Dyer — Tao Te Ching (book) Napoleon Hill — Think and Grow Rich (book, mentioned in sidekick answer) Tony Robbins — Unleash the Power Within (UPW) event: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/unleash-the-power-within BrainTap — brain entrainment headset and app (Dr Patrick Porter): https://braintap.com Dr Louise Newson — UK HRT and menopause advocate Dr Vonda Wright — women's health and bone health advocate OULA hydration tracker device Guest social links: Website: screenmybones.com Instagram (Gary Rhodes): https://www.instagram.com/garyandrewrhodes/ Instagram (Screen My Bones): https://www.instagram.com/screenmybones?igsh=MWY0ZWc1OWY1OGhubw== Instagram (Screen My Bones US): https://www.instagram.com/screenmybones.us/ Instagram (Performance Health MSK): https://www.instagram.com/performancehealthsystemsmsk/ Facebook (Screen My Bones): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566125690406 Facebook (Performance Health MSK): https://web.facebook.com/PerformanceHealthSystemsMSK Insta/TikTok: @BiohackingEve Website: www.BiohackingEve.com

  #21 Pt1: Ocean Wave, Avalanche or Volcano? 40 Years of Female Orgasm Science

  Sep 15, 202615 min

  Send us Fan Mail Anna Lee, CEO and co-founder of Lioness, joins Judith to reveal what a dataset of around 100,000 orgasms has uncovered about female sexual pleasure — and how little the science had actually established before. This part covers how the Lioness biofeedback vibrator measures involuntary pelvic-floor contractions, the three distinct orgasm patterns the data reveals, and the finding that will genuinely surprise most listeners: orgasm strength tends to increase as women move into their fifties and sixties, not decline. Key topics discussed - What the Lioness device actually measures, and how biofeedback orgasm data works - The three orgasm patterns — ocean wave (rhythmic, most common), avalanche (high force tapering down), and volcano (rare, single explosive peak) — identified through involuntary pelvic-floor contractions - Why those patterns matter: correcting four decades of incomplete research based on a 1982 study of only 11 women - The type-switching debate: whether a person moves between orgasm patterns over time, and what the current data does and does not show - The age finding: women aged 51–60 appear to reach orgasm fastest and generate the strongest peak force — contradicting the widespread assumption that sexual pleasure declines with age - Why this podcast cares: the knowledge gap in female sexual health, and how understanding your own body is a health act, not a vanity one Timestamps These are estimates and may shift in final editing. 0:00 — Introduction: Judith introduces Anna Lee and Lioness 1:00 — What Lioness measures: involuntary pelvic-floor contractions during pleasure and orgasm 2:30 — How the app works: pairing the device, reading the data, tracking lifestyle factors 4:00 — The three orgasm patterns: ocean wave, avalanche, volcano 6:30 — The 1982 Bohlen study (n=11) versus the Lioness dataset (~100,000 data points); the Pfaus/Hartmann research 8:30 — The type-switching debate: do people move between patterns? 10:00 — The age study: orgasm strength increases in the 51–60 range 12:30 — Why this matters: "knowledge is pleasure," and the parallel to tracking sleep and nutrition 14:00 — Fertility and orgasm type: what we do and do not know 15:30 — End of Part 1 References Lioness Smart Vibrator The biofeedback device discussed throughout.

  #21 Pt2: Caffeine, THC, Alcohol - What Actually Changes Your Orgasm

  Sep 14, 202629 min

  Send us Fan Mail Part 2 of Judith's conversation with Anna Lee, CEO and co-founder of Lioness, gets into the practical side: what actually changes your orgasms, and what the data shows. Anna walks through the findings from Lioness's Sexperiments platform — including why edging outperforms everything else tested by a significant margin, why alcohol consistently weakens orgasms, and what the THC data looks like. She also corrects the most common misunderstanding about Kegel exercises, explains how a sports concussion showed up as flatlined orgasm data before anyone knew what to look for, and makes the case that female sexual dysfunction could be an early signal of broader health problems — in the same way erectile dysfunction flags cardiovascular risk. KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED — Sexperiments platform: how Lioness runs collective experiments with users and analyses aggregated data — Edging: what it is, why it produces the largest measurable effect on orgasm intensity and duration of anything tested, and how sessions typically run three to four times longer — Alcohol, THC, CBD, caffeine, and socks: what the data shows for each — The concussion case study: how a flatlined orgasm pattern in an elite athlete pointed to neurological impact rather than a broken device, and why this matters clinically — Sexual dysfunction as a potential early-warning signal: the parallel to erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease — Kegels, corrected: why pelvic-floor health is built on muscle relaxation as much as contraction, and why the bicep-curl analogy changes how you think about it — Involuntary orgasmic contractions vs voluntary Kegel contractions: preliminary data suggesting masturbation may be a more effective pelvic-floor workout than Kegels alone (note: study is at abstract stage, not yet published) — Cycle tracking: the gap in the current Lioness dataset, and why tagging cycle phase into the data matters — Integrations on the horizon: Oura ring heart rate and stress data, period and fertility tracking apps, EEG consumer monitors, and vaginal moisture monitoring (Kegg) — How Lioness differs from other vibrators: design choices made specifically for female bodies, including insertable length, platinum-cure silicone, low-battery indicator, and travel lock — The full shape of the clitoris: how recently this was understood, and why it changes how we categorise orgasm types — The nerve-fibre correction: why the widely-cited 7,000–8,000 figure came from a cow sample, and what Dr. Blair Peters's 2023 human study actually found — The cultural shift in female sexual wellness: what has changed in nine years, what is still lagging, and the billboard censorship story — Anna's "magic pill" answer: why the most effective single thing is knowledge of your own body, not a product — Book recommendations: Bonk by Mary Roach and The Toaster Project by Thomas Thwaites TIMESTAMPS These are estimates and may shift in final editing. 0:00 — Introduction to Part 2 / transition from Part 1 0:30 — Sexperiments platform: what it is and how it works 2:30 — Edging: definition, why it outperforms all other tested variables 5:00 — Alcohol, THC, CBD, caffeine effects on orgasm data; socks myth debunked 9:00 — The concussion case study: athlete's flatlined data and the neurological connection 11:30 — Sexual dysfunction as potential early health signal; the erectile dysfunction parallel 13:00 — Kegels corrected: the bicep-curl analogy, relaxation vs squeezing, fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles 15:30 — Preliminary data: involuntary orgasmic contractions vs voluntary Kegel contractions; masturbation and pelvic-floor strength (abstract stage) 17:00 — Cycle tracking gap; the IUD oversight; new tagging feature in the Lioness app 18:30 — Integrations: Oura, period tracking, EEG monitors, Kegg moisture data 20:00 — Lioness vs other vibrators: design decisions, insertable size, silicone safety, travel lock 22:00 — The full clitoris shape and the nerve-fibre correction (Dr. Blair Peters, 10,281 fibres; cow-sample origin of the old figure) 24:00 — Cultural shift: what has changed in nine years; social media policies; the billboard censorship story 27:00 — Anna's "magic pill" thesis: why knowing your own body is the answer 29:00 — Book recommendations: Bonk and The Toaster Project REFERENCES Lioness Sexperiments platform https://lioness.io "Are All Orgasms Created Equally Regardless of Age?" — Hartmann D, Pfaus J, Wood E, Klinger L, Wang J The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2023, Vol 20, Suppl 2.

  #23 Pt2: Skeleton in the Closet - The Tests, Tech and Nutrition That Actually Build Stronger Bones

  Aug 31, 202623 min

  Send us Fan Mail Gary Rhodes of Screen My Bones gets practical in Part 2: which bone scans are available, what they measure, and how often to retest. He explains the science behind osteogenic loading and BioDensity — a technology that builds bone safely even in people with severe osteoporosis — and covers what someone with no gym access can do. The episode also covers the specific nutrition that supports bone density, including the calcium-K2 relationship that most people get wrong. Key topics: DEXA scan: T-score, Z-score, fragility score, TBS, radiation, inaccuracy rate EchoLight (REMS ultrasound): bone density + quality, no radiation, 5-year risk window Why the TBS function on DEXA machines is rarely used — and why it matters Retest frequency: every 12 months recommended vs NHS 3-year standard BioDensity and osteogenic loading: the science, the safety, Wolff's Law Power Plate (whole-body vibration) and the Rev Bike (vibration + VO2 max) Impact vs loading: what each does for bone and whether you need both Zero-budget bone-building: running, hopping, jumping, heavy lifting Why cyclists, swimmers, and rowers have unexpectedly poor bone density EMS (electro-muscular stimulation): role and limitations Results: bone quality and T-score changes in 6 and 18 months Nutrition: whole foods, protein, absorption, eating in parasympathetic state Specific nutrients: D3 + K2/MK-7, magnesium, collagen, boron, Omega-3 Calcium supplementation: why it can cause harm without K2 and exercise Protein and bone: the muscle-bone connection References and resources mentioned: EchoLight / REMS ultrasound technology BioDensity — Performance Health Systems Power Plate — Performance Health Systems Rev Bike — Performance Health Systems eGym (variable resistance training technology) Dr Vonda Wright — Unbreakable Dr Gabrielle Lyon — creatine research Wolff's Law (foundational bone remodelling principle — medical school curriculum) Guest social links: Website: screenmybones.com Instagram (Gary Rhodes): https://www.instagram.com/garyandrewrhodes/ Instagram (Screen My Bones): https://www.instagram.com/screenmybones?igsh=MWY0ZWc1OWY1OGhubw== Instagram (Screen My Bones US): https://www.instagram.com/screenmybones.us/ Instagram (Performance Health MSK): https://www.instagram.com/performancehealthsystemsmsk/ Facebook (Screen My Bones): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566125690406 Facebook (Performance Health MSK): https://web.facebook.com/PerformanceHealthSystemsMSK Insta/TikTok: @BiohackingEve Website: www.BiohackingEve.com

  #22 Pt1: Skeleton in the Closet - GLP-1s, Stress and Why Bone Loss Starts Decades Before You Expect

  Aug 17, 202635 min

  Send us Fan Mail Gary Rhodes, founder of Screen My Bones, opens a three-part deep dive into the most overlooked pillar of women's longevity: skeletal health. Part 1 covers what osteoporosis and osteopenia actually are, why bone loss in women accelerates so dramatically at menopause, and the hidden risks from GLP-1 weight loss drugs, chronic stress, and emotional trauma. Gary reversed his own grandmother's severe osteoporosis in 23 months — and has since scanned over 20,000 people to build the evidence base for early, proactive bone screening. Key topics: Reversing osteoporosis: Gary's grandmother's story (T-score minus 2.7 → normal range in 23 months) What osteoporosis is — and why "disease" is the wrong framing Bone density vs bone quality — two distinct measurements, both essential T-scores, Z-scores, fragility scores: what to pay attention to The menopause bone cliff: 1–5% loss per year, up to 20% over 5–7 years Why women lose bone faster than men (oestrogen mechanism) Osteoporosis prevalence: 19.6% in women vs 4.4% in men over 50 Peak bone mass at 28–32 and the case for screening in your thirties GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Mounjaro) and the 40% muscle/bone loss risk Osteoimmunology: bone marrow as immune factory; inflammatory cytokines and bone resorption Cortisol, adrenal stress and mineral depletion from bone Emotional trauma as a bone health risk factor References and resources mentioned: Screen My Bones: screenmybones.com Tony Robbins — Unleash the Power Within (UPW): https://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/unleash-the-power-within Dr Gabrielle Lyon — creatine and muscle protein research Guest social links: Website: screenmybones.com Instagram (Gary Rhodes): https://www.instagram.com/garyandrewrhodes/ Instagram (Screen My Bones): https://www.instagram.com/screenmybones?igsh=MWY0ZWc1OWY1OGhubw== Instagram (Screen My Bones US): https://www.instagram.com/screenmybones.us/ Instagram (Performance Health MSK): https://www.instagram.com/performancehealthsystemsmsk/ Facebook (Screen My Bones): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566125690406 Facebook (Performance Health MSK): https://web.facebook.com/PerformanceHealthSystemsMSK Insta/TikTok: @BiohackingEve Website: www.BiohackingEve.com
