EPISODE 72: START A 'BE BONE STRONG' WALKING CLUB
On this inspiring episode of Bone Talk, BHOF CEO Claire Gill welcomes author, advocate, and former BHOF trustee Barbara Hannah Grufferman to share how walking can help transform bone health, boost connections, and reshape how we age. After a wake-up call about her own low bone density, Barbara became a passionate advocate for movement, aging well, and building community. She’s completed 17 marathons since turning 50 and now serves as Special Advisor to the BHOF Board and Team Captain of the Be Bone Strong™ initiative, leading efforts to launch walking clubs nationwide while proving that fitness can be fun, inclusive, and doable at any age.
EPISODE 71: SARCOPENIA AND AGING: UNDERSTANDING MUSCLE LOSS AND BONE HEALTH
This Bone Talk episode explores the important connection between bone health and sarcopenia, a condition that causes significant loss of muscle mass and strength beyond normal aging. Guest expert Dr. Stuart Phillips, a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at McMaster University, shares insights from decades of research on how exercise and nutrition influence muscle and body composition. Although osteoporosis often gets more attention, sarcopenia also plays a major role in mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. Dr. Phillips explains how even small amounts of regular physical activity can make a meaningful difference as we age.
