#160 A Cellular Approach to Bone Health and Recovery After 50 w/ Dr. Vivian Chen, MD + BoneCoach™ Osteoporosis & Osteopenia

Bone Coach™ Osteoporosis & Osteopenia – Joining us today to explore the role of environmental toxins, red light therapy, and bone health is Dr. Vivian Chen, a UK-trained medical doctor with over 15 years of clinical experience and board certification in internal medicine and family practice. Her approach to health shifted after her daughter was hospitalized as a newborn with unexplained symptoms—an experience that led Dr. Chen to uncover the role of environmental toxicity in both her daughter’s recovery and her own long-standing fatigue, acne, and brain fog.That journey opened her eyes to root causes rarely addressed in conventional medicine. After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, she made it her mission to help people reduce their toxin load and address overlooked environmental exposures. Today, she educates through her platform, Plateful Health, and is the co-founder of the red light therapy company LUMEBOX.>>FREE Stronger Bones Masterclass (Gain Access Now!)=>>FREE 7-Day Osteoporosis Kickstart=>>Apply to join the Stronger Bones Solution Program w/ the Bone Coach™ TeamTopics Covered0:00 – Episode introduction2:05 – Introducing Dr. Vivian Chen, UK-trained medical doctor4:10 – How environmental toxins quietly impact health over time6:22 – Dr. Chen’s personal journey into root-cause medicine8:45 – Understanding toxic load and everyday exposures11:10 – Environmental toxins, hormones, and bone health13:40 – Mitochondrial health and why cellular energy matters16:05 – Why fatigue, brain fog, and aging are often energy problems18:50 – How toxin reduction supports detox pathways21:30 – Introduction to red light therapy and how it works24:10 – Red and near-infrared light for mitochondrial support27:35 – Red light therapy, muscle recovery, and bone protection30:20 – Practical ways to combine toxin reduction with red light therapy33:45 – Who benefits most from red light therapy36:10 – Common misconceptions and safety considerations38:40 – Where listeners can learn more and connect with Dr. Vivian Chen***Resources MentionedShownotes @https://bonecoach.com/blogs/podcast/a-cellular-approach-to-bone-health-and-recovery-after-50-w-dr-vivian-chen-md-plateful-health-lumebox-red-light-therapy***What can you do to support your bone health and this podcast?1.
