Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Doctor Warrick Bishop hosts a podcast featuring Perry Eckert, the master franchise owner for OsteoStrong in Australia and New Zealand. They discuss OsteoStrong, a health and wellness program aimed at improving bone and muscle health, reducing fall and fracture risks, and alleviating joint and back pain. Perry explains that the program utilizes specialized machines that apply self-applied loads to bones through a method called axial loading, which stimulates osteogenesis and enhances muscle strength and balance. Unlike conventional gym equipment, OsteoStrong's machines allow users to safely exert significantly higher forces, leading to improved bone density and strength.
The program's effectiveness is supported by studies showing dramatic improvements in strength, particularly for individuals with osteoporosis. Perry shares his personal connection to bone health issues in his family, emphasizing the importance of preventative medicine. He highlights the uniqueness of Osteo Strong as a forward-thinking solution compared to traditional exercise regimens. The podcast concludes with information about the locations of Osteo Strong centers in Australia and an invitation for listeners to explore the program for their health and well-being.
Takeaways:
- OsteoStrong is a health and wellness program focused on improving bone and muscle health, reducing fall and fracture risk, and alleviating joint and muscle pain.
- The program utilizes specialized machines called spectrum machines that apply self-applied loads to bones and muscles through a method known as axial loading, triggering osteogenesis and improving bone density.
- Participants often experience significant improvements in bone density, muscle strength, balance, and grip strength, with many reversing conditions like osteopenia and osteoporosis within 6 to 12 months.
- Unlike conventional gym equipment, spectrum machines allow users to safely exert loads significantly greater than typical gym weights, enhancing the effectiveness of the workouts.
- The program emphasizes the importance of applying loads exceeding 4.2 times a participant’s body weight to effectively improve bone density, as supported by scientific studies.
- Osteo Strong is described as a form of “physical medicine” rather than a typical exercise program, requiring only short, controlled sessions once a week for optimal results.
- Many members report overall improved well-being, strength, posture, and reduced pain, highlighting that the benefits of the program extend beyond just bone health.
- The founder, Perry Eckert, has a personal connection to osteoporosis through family history, motivating his involvement in promoting preventative health measures.
- The podcast emphasizes the need for a shift in focus from chronic care to preventative medicine, advocating for innovative solutions like OsteoStrong to address health issues before they become serious.
- Currently, there are eight OsteoStrong centers in Australia, providing accessible options for individuals seeking to enhance their bone and muscle health.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.

Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.

Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.
- 94% of Australians have at least One Risk Factor for heart disease.
- 59% of Australians have been Touched by heart disease.
- Yet only 3% of Australians have had a Full Heart-Health Assessment in the past 12 months.
