I have no idea if that's true.

But I think something like that is probably plausible.

And that's how much bone metabolism is actually happening.

There's that much breakdown in buildup.

And that's why I really think that we need to reconsider accepting bone loss as a part of aging.

We hear this all the time, age-related bone loss, quote unquote.

And I think that we need to reject that and say, no, if you're losing bone, let's look and see why, what's happening, what's imbalanced.

65.

There are a couple of different areas there.

But yeah, right now, the USPSTF still says 65.

So it's a very reactive approach, right?

So let's wait to screen until we're likely to see the disease, which I understand the public health statistical analysis there.

I get that.

But the way I treat patients, the way you treat patients is we want to prevent chronic disease, if at all possible.

We want to catch it early because it's so much easier to turn that corner and resolve it early.

If we wait until 65, it's not too late, but boy, it gets so much harder the older we get.

And so the conventional medical model is what it is.

It has been for over 100 years.

Diagnose, treat with pharmaceuticals or surgery.

That's the system.
