In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tom Forfa, a physician and educator who is on a mission to help 1,000 men reverse bone loss naturally by 2026. After overcoming his own bone loss without medications and regaining an active lifestyle—including powerlifting and snowboarding—Dr. Forfa now dedicates his work to guiding others through their bone health challenges.
He shares his personal journey, explains why osteoporosis is not just a “woman’s disease,” and highlights the critical gaps in traditional approaches to bone health. Together, we explore the root causes of bone loss, how to identify them, and the proven steps to building stronger bones at any age.
