Dr Taher Mahmud - Reversing Osteoporosis & Restoring Bone Health

In this episode Matt speaks with a leading bone health specialist Dr Taher Mahmud, to dismantle the long-held medical myth that lost bone density cannot be rebuilt, exploring the dynamic, ever-changing nature of the human skeleton and how osteoporosis can be reversed.They cover the mechanics of bone remodelling, explaining how peak bone mass functions, how 10 to 15% of our skeleton is replaced every year and why bone loss accelerates during key life stages like menopause. They also discuss how everyday stressors, poor nutrition and lack of exercise impact bone density, while detailing how to accurately track progress through bone markers, DEXA, and REMS scans.Beyond that, they break down the critical difference between bone density numbers and overall bone quality, sharing real-world clinical examples of patients who have successfully reversed their T-scores and improved their physical stature. Matt and Dr Mahmud also examine non-drug interventions, the role of targeted exercise and core strength, and how proactive lifestyle habits protect against fractures and maintain structural health for life.Whether you have been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, or simply want to optimise your skeletal strength and posture as you age, this episode provides an empowering guide to taking control of your long-term bone health.Website: ⁠⁠https://www.mattroberts.co.uk⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mattrobertsevolution⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mattroberts_lifestyle⁠⁠X: ⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/mattrobertspt⁠ ⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mattrobertsevolution⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattrobertsevolution⁠ ⁠ Guest Infohttps://www.londonosteoporosisclinic.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/londonosteoporosisclinicDisclaimer The Evolution Lab podcast, hosted by Matt Roberts, is for informational and educational purposes only.
