Strong Bones, Strong Life: A Journey with Dr. Tom Forfa
Bone Density & Longevity: Dr. Tom Forfa on DEXA Scans, Osteoporosis, Strength Training, Nutrition & HormonesHost Vicki Nguyen welcomes Dr. Tom Forfa of Lenari Health to discuss why bone health is often underestimated in aging well, especially as bone density can decline silently and accelerate for women in perimenopause and menopause. Tom shares his personal diagnosis of early-onset osteoporosis in his 30s after 13 fractures, explains DEXA scans and T-scores/Z-scores, and outlines key risk factors and early warning signs like fractures from standing-height falls and height loss. He describes a “triangle” approach to improving bone health: addressing medical causes (hormones, malabsorption, medications), triggering bone growth with heavy and impact exercise, and supplying building blocks through nutrition (protein, calcium, vitamin D) and selective supplements. They also discuss balance and fall prevention, HRT’s role for women, concerns about GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and bone density, and Tom’s Lenari Health app for interpreting DEXA results and tracking nutrition.00:00 Welcome to the Show00:37 Why Bones Matter01:31 Tom’s Osteoporosis Story05:06 Causes and Risk Factors07:58 Understanding DEXA Scores17:12 Rebuilding Bone Naturally19:59 Sponsor Break22:04 Best Exercises for Bones24:43 Starting Safely and Staying Consistent26:36 Compliance and Medication Reality28:09 Visualization and Bone Strength29:13 GLP-1 Drugs and Bone Loss30:47 Nutrition and Supplement Stack35:29 Strontium and DEXA Illusions36:45 Women Menopause and HRT39:49 Sponsor Break40:08 Perimenopause Prevention Plan41:14 Balance Falls and Creatine42:39 Common Bone Health Mistakes45:07 Lenari App and Action Steps47:02 Top Three Longevity Tips48:46 Where to Find Tom49:38 Goals Lifelong Bone Journey50:56 Final Thanks and Sign Off

Where the hell have I been?
Life Update: Selling Jomeis Fine Foods and Returning to One Body, One LifeHost Vicki Nguyen welcomes listeners back to One Body, One Life, a longevity-focused show sponsored by Jomeis Fine Foods, and shares a personal update after a long gap between episodes. After 24 years, she sold Jumais Fine Foods and describes the surreal identity shift, the demanding handover process, and the emotional and physical work of clearing out a warehouse accumulated over decades. She reflects on the unexpected “silence” after the sale, describing a major nervous system reset, improved WHOOP sleep scores, and newfound mental space, while considering purpose and who she is without the business. With her children now older, she plans more travel (including Greece and Turkey) and a renewed, evolving direction for the podcast, with upcoming conversations including bone density and an interview connected to a gifted stay at Gwinganna.00:00 Show Introduction00:34 Life Update Return01:00 Selling The Business03:27 Warehouse Move Declutter04:31 Travel And Sponsor Break05:11 Post Sale Silence Reset07:56 Identity And New Space09:32 Podcast Is Back10:53 Whats Next And Thanks11:54 Outro Subscribe

"The Science of Longevity: Cellular Secrets with Greg Macpherson"
Longevity Science Explained: Mitochondria, DNA Damage, Senescent Cells & Peptides with Greg MacphersonHost Vicki Nguyen introduces One Body, One Life, a longevity-focused show sponsored by Jomei’s Fine Foods, and interviews Greg Macpherson, a New Zealand pharmacist and founder of SRW Laboratories. Greg shares how working with residential care patients and discovering “The Hallmarks of Aging” shaped his focus on healthspan versus lifespan, using a Mount Everest analogy and noting healthspan is typically about 10 years shorter than lifespan. He highlights key drivers of aging including DNA damage (with lifestyle strategies like “sunscreen for your cells”), personal viral burden and immune fatigue (including attention to absolute lymphocyte count), mitochondrial decline and targeted antioxidants like mitoquinol, and chronic inflammation linked to oxidative stress. They discuss cellular senescence, fasting, time-restricted eating, exercise, and compounds like fisetin and quercetin, plus emerging areas like stem cells, peptides, biological age testing via DNA methylation, and future cellular “reprogramming,” along with Greg’s top lifestyle practices and where to find him (srw.co).
