Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Better Sleep for Better Bones: What to Do Starting Tonight with Dr. Audrey Wells and Margie Bissinger

Q: What are the four pillars of good sleep that listeners should focus on?

Sleep quantity, timing, quality through proper sleep cycles, and ensuring no sleep disorders are present, with testing when needed to confirm there is no underlying issue.

The Missing Piece in Bone Health? Your Gut Microbiome with Emeran Mayer, MD and Margie Bissinger

Q: What are a couple of suggestions on how people can increase the variety of their fiber?

Start with awareness and shift to a lifestyle: aim for 30 different fruits and vegetables per week, diversify shopping choices on every trip, and incorporate a wide range of plant-based foods across meals to gradually build a rich, varied gut microbiome.

Pros and Cons of Osteoporosis Medications with Dr. Keith McCormick

Q: What are the key considerations when choosing Prolia versus bisphosphonates or anabolic therapies?

Prolia offers strong efficacy, particularly for hips, but carries rebound risks upon stopping, necessitating a transition plan. Bisphosphonates can be used short-term but do not improve bone quality and may cause GI issues. Anabolics like Forteo, Tymlos, and Evenity are used for longer-term remodeling and must be monitored with P1NP to ensure sustained response, with transitions to anti-resorptives as needed.

Pros and Cons of Osteoporosis Medications with Dr. Keith McCormick

Q: How do turnover markers influence treatment decisions, and how should patients be tested?

Turnover markers like CTX (bone resorption) and P1NP (bone formation) should be measured baseline and at intervals after starting treatment. They help gauge whether bone remodeling is shifting in the desired direction, and values need standardized testing conditions (fasting CTX, same lab timing, avoid biotin/collagen before draw).

Pros and Cons of Osteoporosis Medications with Dr. Keith McCormick

Q: What are the general categories of osteoporosis medications and how do you decide which to start with?

Medications fall into anti-resorptives (bisphosphonates and Prolia) that slow bone breakdown and anabolic agents (Forteo, Tymlos, Evenity) that build bone. The choice depends on factors like GERD, kidney function, prior response to drugs, fracture risk, and bone quality; testing with turnover markers and bone density guides when to start or switch therapies.
