If you were...
doing the Lift More protocol, for instance, and over an eight-month period, we would expect you to see a 3% increase in your lumbar spine.
So think about that.
That's eight months, 3%.
If we think about estradiol therapy over two or three years, giving you a 3% increase in your
Hip, 5% in your lumbar spine region, generally something like that.
So that's three years of using a medication to get 5% increase-ish in your lumbar spine.
You know, think about the impact of exercise.
If you're doing an eight-month program and you're getting a 3% increase, that's really impactful.
So I just want to emphasize the timeline.
With the exercise, you're also getting so many other benefits.
So many other benefits.
For sleep, for your insulin resistance.
Building your muscle mass, yes.
And then medications like zolendronate, like the reclast, if you know the brand, you know, once per year infusions of bisphosphonate, for example, those are going to increase your hip bone density about 5%, your spine bone density about 7%.
You're going to get a 70% reduction in fracture risk, say, of the spine, 40% of the hip.
You know, we don't have, like I said, with exercise, we don't have all those numbers, but
But so that would be like three years of getting a once a year infusion.
So those numbers are larger.
But again, like if you just look at the scale of them, like the lifestyle things do quite a lot.
