Welcome listeners.
2
:I'm thrilled to have you here today.
3
:I've got a new friend.
4
:joining me.
5
:And her name is Julie Eichens.
6
:Is that right, Julie?
7
:I have such a problem saying names,
but she is the owner, um, of, I
8
:think, two different osteostrogs.
9
:And the reason I have Julie on today
is because in my journey toward
10
:living a longer, healthier life,
um, and kind of combating some
11
:of the treatments that I've had.
12
:Uh, I kind of discovered OsteoStrong,
and I have to admit, Julie, I
13
:discovered it several years ago
when I read Tony Robbins book.
14
:And I think it was called, uh, Our
for life force, life forces, but
15
:and he's so great because he brought
all this information to people about
16
:things that you can do to help you
have longevity and be healthier.
17
:And I read about osteo strong and
I knew that I had had a bone scan.
18
:I had what's called osteopenia.
19
:And I'm sure many of my listeners who
are women who are perimenopausal or
20
:menopausal or post are aware of this.
21
:You go get your bone skin and
you see how your bone health is.
22
:And here's the thing.
23
:Bone health is so important because so
many elderly people lose their lives
24
:because of a break in their bone.
25
:I mean, my grandma, for instance, probably
would have been a centurion, broke a
26
:wrist, had a surgery and That was it.
27
:So it's so important and it's
so important to feel good.
28
:So I started doing osteosterone, but
it was a long ways away from my house.
29
:So I quit and I made a friend do it, who
was already experiencing osteoporosis
30
:and her mom was very ill with it.
31
:She actually saw a turnaround.
32
:I don't think she has
osteoporosis anymore.
33
:And here's the thing.
34
:I'm like, I have to do this.
35
:And one opened up near my home, which
made me super happy and excited.
36
:And I started.
37
:Yeah, I know.
38
:And I started doing it because I am
really close to developing osteoporosis
39
:according to my bone scan and right
now with everything I'm doing, I
40
:just don't want that to happen.
41
:So for now, for these five years, while
I'm on this estrogen blocker, I just don't
42
:want to have a change in my bone density.
43
:But as I sit in OsteoStrong and I hear
these beautiful women, they sit around and
44
:they talk about how they've reversed it.
45
:And so this is actually something, and
you can go to osteostrong dot, I think
46
:it's dot me, and you can go and look at
the science about how it, it builds bones.
47
:And honest to God, Julie, I feel
like I want to own one of these.
48
:So, so this is kind of a lot.
49
:Speaker 2: This
50
:Speaker: is a long introduction
and you know, when I do this
51
:podcast, I always want to get to
know my guests a little bit more.
52
:So Julie, I'm so curious.
53
:I don't know a lot about you.
54
:I know that you're dedicated to
helping people strengthen their,
55
:their bones and I know you do hair.
56
:Yeah.
57
:And so can you, yeah, fill us in
on what led you to be the owner?
58
:Speaker 3: Actually, I'll say like
the day I met you, which was, um, the
59
:30th of December, I literally left the
center that day thinking like, this is
60
:a God thing, Julie, just, just do it.
61
:Just lean in.
62
:Just go with it.
63
:And for sure, when you said,
um, your friend who is that I
64
:love her, I'm like, oh my gosh.
65
:Yes.
66
:Yes, of course you guys are.
67
:Um, so I, my first career,
um, is being a hairstylist.
68
:I owned a salon and spa for
25 years in Eden Prairie.
69
:Love it.
70
:I just love helping people to feel and
look their best both inside and out.
71
:So, speed forward.
72
:I sold my salon in 2016.
73
:I wanted to knock some
things off my bucket list.
74
:One of my very good friends for 20
years referred her friend in that she
75
:had talked to me about for 20 years and
her son does security for Tony Robbins.
76
:I'm like, Oh, I'm like, I have
always wanted to like go to just
77
:experience one of his events, right?
78
:I had watched him, not your guru.
79
:I'm like, Oh, this is so cool.
80
:And right up my alley.
81
:So I, um, we ended up getting tickets.
82
:My husband and I went, he did not
go willingly, but he went with me.
83
:And by the fourth day, Osseo was on
stage and he leaned over and was like,
84
:I think this is your next business.
85
:As I'm feverishly looking like,
oh my gosh, I have to go to one
86
:because I myself was diagnosed
with osteopenia when I was 36.
87
:So I know I've had it for 19
years, but my grandma, I mean,
88
:she would sneeze and break ribs.
89
:My mom had it.
90
:My aunts have it.
91
:Um, so, and I knew, I watched
my mom take the drugs.
92
:I knew I didn't want to do that.
93
:I wanted to do it naturally.
94
:And all my kids can tell you the day
I was diagnosed, because their lives
95
:drastically changed with what I cooked.
96
:So, um, so yeah, so.
97
:Um, I came home, I researched it.
98
:I went to Rapid City, South Dakota to
visit the closest one to us and, uh, we
99
:came home and I was like, I can do this.
100
:I just, I, I had no idea why I was
just believing like I can do this
101
:because I've had a number of people
say to me, you were bringing a non
102
:pharmaceutical thing to the state of
Minnesota who has the Mayo Clinic.
103
:I'm like, I know, right?
104
:I wasn't even thinking how tiny I
am compared to all of this, but the
105
:Mayo Clinic actually refers to us.
106
:I know I was gonna, yeah.
107
:Yeah, I mean it's so cool.
108
:So, I researched it for a couple months.
109
:I talked with many owners.
110
:I talked with a lot of people.
111
:As I walked around Eden Prairie, met
people, I'm like, everybody needs this.
112
:They just don't know it yet.
113
:So I'm always about doing the niche thing.
114
:Even when I owned my salon, it was
all about what can we do better?
115
:What can we do differently
that no one else is doing?
116
:How can we serve?
117
:our guests so that they feel
amazing when they leave.
118
:So it was really natural
for me in that way.
119
:So we opened the first one in
Minnesota in Eden Prairie, March
120
:1st of 2019 in a snowstorm.
121
:Hex, right?
122
:But I felt So, so blessed because
everybody still showed up that
123
:weekend in that first weekend.
124
:I think we signed up 73 people and by the
end of the month we had over a hundred.
125
:And then, um, again, I just
say by God's grace, the Star
126
:Tribune wrote an article on us.
127
:And we were flooded inundated.
128
:It was amazing.
129
:And then Tony, Tony Robbins is involved.
130
:He actually owns 49
percent of OsteoStrong.
131
:So he, and he actually has
it in all of his homes.
132
:So, um, he, He wrote his book and
that was another big influx for us.
133
:And then, um, we also run twin
cities live with Elizabeth Reese
134
:and she is absolutely amazing.
135
:And so I own Eden Prairie.
136
:My business partner, Matt owns Egan.
137
:And then together we've joined forces
to open Edina in the South Ville medical
138
:building and Woodbury in Tamarack village.
139
:So, which is where you go.
140
:Speaker: I know.
141
:I love it.
142
:Okay.
143
:And you're so fitting because my guests
are people who have gone through something
144
:or you've watched your, your mom and your
family go through it and you want to help
145
:people and even with your hair, right?
146
:You want to help people.
147
:Feel better.
148
:I love that.
149
:So this is like women in
purpose driven businesses.
150
:Yeah, I adore that.
151
:And I, okay.
152
:I didn't think I was going to go
this way, but I am so jealous that
153
:you've been to Tony Robbins because
I think I need to drag my husband.
154
:Yes.
155
:And.
156
:Let me ask, and this is kind
of deep and I didn't tell you
157
:I was going to ask you this.
158
:What do you, did it
change something in you?
159
:And what would you say that
was after you went there?
160
:Or do you think you would have done this?
161
:I mean, obviously you learned about
OsteoStrong when you were there,
162
:but there was also something that
led you to have the confidence to
163
:take the action to open something
brand new that you've never done.
164
:Speaker 3: Yeah.
165
:Well, I mean, I I'll say like
just me and my adult life.
166
:I have, I have been on this
mission of personal growth.
167
:I want to be better.
168
:I want to do better.
169
:I just want to wake up being the
best person I can every day to
170
:help other people feel amazing.
171
:So really that was my main thing.
172
:Like, yeah, I wanted to see
what he was about, but his
173
:teachings, you They really are.
174
:I mean, they're foundational, right?
175
:And Um, in every family
has their own dysfunctions.
176
:I call it fun, right?
177
:I mean, it's just got
to be light about it.
178
:Fun is in the, in the, in
the middle of the word.
179
:Um, but it's owning it.
180
:And I've been that person in my family.
181
:That's like, Hey, this isn't normal guys.
182
:Like, come on, let's,
let's think about this.
183
:How can we do different?
184
:How can we be better?
185
:How can we not get so
heated with each other?
186
:How can we resolve our differences?
187
:Um, and going there helped me.
188
:To gain more knowledge on how
to resolve differences quicker
189
:or how to not even have them.
190
:Speaker: And what I love is it
kind of is sounding like you were
191
:thinking focus maybe on family.
192
:Speaker 2: Isn't it
193
:Speaker: interesting how you might go
in with a focus and when you get in and
194
:that changes, everything kind of changes.
195
:Speaker 3: Yes.
196
:And it was so, it was so good
for my husband and I, even though
197
:he, he resisted it a little bit.
198
:Um, but I'm like, come
on, like this is our time.
199
:All of our kids are gone.
200
:This is for you and I to discover
us again, um, from 25 years ago.
201
:Right.
202
:Yeah.
203
:So it really has been such
an amazing journey since.
204
:I have gone there because now
with being an osseo strong
205
:owner, we get more opportunities.
206
:Speaker: Yeah.
207
:Yeah.
208
:Yeah.
209
:I love that.
210
:Yeah.
211
:I love that.
212
:Okay.
213
:I can't, I can't help but ask
because I was thinking:
214
:When did COVID come in?
215
:Right?
216
:Speaker 3: Okay.
217
:So this will just give you a
little, our one year anniversary.
218
:So, and, and we, I, with this
business, I'm like, we're not
219
:going to do anniversaries.
220
:I want to celebrate birthdays.
221
:We're all getting younger.
222
:We're not getting older.
223
:We're just going to
celebrate birthday, right?
224
:And my manager at the time and all of
my coaches, I mean, they were flying
225
:all over on their winter vacation.
226
:So I was in there
helping out a little bit.
227
:Plus I was still manager of.
228
:My salon that I had sold.
229
:So we're coming in.
230
:Everybody's like, Oh my God.
231
:Oh my God.
232
:Did you hear like they're
shutting this down?
233
:They're shutting that.
234
:I'm like, Oh, you guys gotta be crazy.
235
:I'm like, let's just have fun.
236
:So we're going around taking pictures.
237
:I was oblivious.
238
:I mean, I had clients calling me
going, Julie, what's going on?
239
:Are you serious that you're not
going to be able to do my hair?
240
:And I was very fortunate too, because
being in the, being a business owner
241
:in the community that I lived in for 25
years before I opened OsteoStrong, I had
242
:a I have a dear friend that worked for
the city and it just so happened that
243
:her boss was the one making the decisions
on who was open and who was closed.
244
:And um, so we only had to be closed for
a month and we, again, I just say by
245
:God's doing our guests, our members,
our Amazing people and they were so
246
:easy to work with and go through this
transition and for us to be open.
247
:I mean, it, it was, it was easy.
248
:We could have, um, One person
in the center at a time.
249
:However, and what made that so great
is because with, um, OsteoStrong, you
250
:really, if you choose, um, you only need
to be there for less than 10 minutes.
251
:Once a week.
252
:Yep.
253
:Speaker: Yeah.
254
:We're going to get into a little
bit more about that, but honey, I
255
:think you are, you are my sister.
256
:You're my sister in Christ.
257
:And I love, I mean, I just feel
like, because I I've always been a.
258
:strong Christian and I've always been
into self growth and suddenly when I had
259
:that, you know, when they caught that
stage one breast cancer, that's when I
260
:went woohoo light bulbs on and it's God
who's leading me through all of this,
261
:but, and I love, I still love learning.
262
:Because he's giving me all
these tools, but he is the one.
263
:And so I'm so thankful that,
that you bring that up as well.
264
:And I think we have that
in common and I love that.
265
:And I love your story and I'm going
to be picking your brain more about
266
:this when we're off the air too,
because I love the business side, but
267
:I want to talk a little bit for the
listeners who are maybe interested in.
268
:Signing up.
269
:They're all over the world, aren't they?
270
:I mean, they're in the United
States and you can go to the website
271
:and find it in your area because
this podcast goes everywhere.
272
:Um, but the thing about
it, that's so amazing is.
273
:I bring my mom, which is awesome
and I know she's so sweet, but
274
:we go and it is truly 10 minutes.
275
:Now there's other, um, recovery module.
276
:I don't know what the things
that you can do after that.
277
:I love like the red light therapy
and we can talk about that too,
278
:but the main draw for me are those,
are there four or five machines?
279
:Speaker 3: There are four machines and
then plus the whole body vibration.
280
:Speaker: So the four machines are
the things that really get me.
281
:And it was, I had a little bit of
an aha moment yesterday because I've
282
:been, I I'm always been a runner.
283
:And then I now recently
have become a weightlifter.
284
:Right.
285
:And I kind of shied away from running.
286
:But then when you find out you want
to build your bones, I kind of started
287
:running a little bit again, which I love.
288
:And I went on a run yesterday in
the snow, which was beautiful.
289
:And then I woke up this morning
and my knee hurt a little bit.
290
:And I thought, Oh, and then I went on
and I wanted to send my dad cause he's
291
:a scientist and he's so he's like an
83 year old guy and then I just have
292
:him research and I said, look at this,
look at osteo strong and I sent him
293
:the science actually behind it and
then I took a look at it and I thought,
294
:okay, this is making a little bit more
sense, even to my non science students.
295
:that these machines kind of,
they're actually better than a run.
296
:It's kind of like, it's
kind of like emulating.
297
:the process of the impact
to build the bone strength.
298
:And it takes you 10 minutes.
299
:Like you go through these machines
and you just, and you don't work, you
300
:can wear, you could go to a business
meeting after you're not going to get
301
:sweaty, you know, and you just go and
you put, you push as hard as you can.
302
:You always have someone there.
303
:So you're making sure that
you're doing everything right.
304
:So you don't get injured and
voila, people are building muscle.
305
:Speaker 3: Yes.
306
:And that's what a lot of people
don't understand is that.
307
:When you lose bone, that's when
we become flabby because your
308
:musculoskeletal system can only
hold as much muscle as it is strong.
309
:Speaker: I didn't know that.
310
:And you want to know something?
311
:Yeah.
312
:Okay, so this is interesting, Julie.
313
:Not, I mean, and I'm not a judger,
but I went in and I look around
314
:and I'm like, well, everybody
looks Lean, you know what I mean?
315
:And it's not like you're in a yoga,
a heated sculpt class where you see
316
:everybody and their muscles are coming
out, but you see everyone and they're
317
:like, there's like, I haven't seen anyone
who isn't, and I'm like, why is that?
318
:And I didn't know, you just
taught me that I did not know.
319
:So you actually will stay leaner.
320
:Also by doing this.
321
:I didn't know that.
322
:I thought it's just building my, my bones.
323
:Speaker 3: Yeah.
324
:Yeah.
325
:And that like, uh, and because we
are, we're kind of, we're in between
326
:physical therapy and a gym where
we're our own, um, industry right now.
327
:Right.
328
:Because there's no.
329
:Nobody out there that's really just
focusing on building your bones, right?
330
:And, and a lot of people don't
like, like my, like Matt was saying
331
:this weekend, one in six women.
332
:have osteopenia and don't know it.
333
:Speaker 2: Mm
334
:Speaker 3: hmm.
335
:I would have never known.
336
:Yeah, yeah.
337
:It might be 6 10 women walking around
have osteopenia and don't even know it.
338
:Speaker: I would say, yeah.
339
:I would say that's probably, yeah.
340
:Speaker 3: It's not in our well
check, if you will, that we get a
341
:bone density scan at a specific age.
342
:Right.
343
:Right.
344
:So, and here's the other cool thing
because Matt and I also have another
345
:business called REMS Echolight,
which measures your bone density.
346
:And again, just like my hair world where
I use products that heal the hair from
347
:the inside out, OsteoStrong makes your
bones stronger from the inside out.
348
:So your trabecular part of your bone.
349
:And that was something
I always said to my mom.
350
:I'm like, mom, if you're on these
drugs, Why is it every time?
351
:you fall, you're breaking a bone.
352
:I don't get it.
353
:So the
354
:inside of her bone was not strong enough.
355
:And with the Echolite rims,
I can see myself slowing.
356
:Um, with the Echolite rims, it actually
measures the inside of your bone strength.
357
:Speaker: That's so interesting.
358
:So you're the gal with that machine.
359
:Cause I was interested.
360
:I will be wanting to get one,
uh, in a bit, in a bit, but okay.
361
:And so Julie, are you kind of seeing, and
I know you're not poo pooing medication,
362
:cause I know that it's in conjunction a
lot and you work with physicians, but is
363
:it, so are you saying that osteo strong
builds the inside of the bone and makes it
364
:stronger where maybe the medications are
concerned with the outside, which isn't.
365
:The root of it.
366
:Speaker 3: Yes.
367
:Speaker: Yep.
368
:Okay.
369
:Because I did, I did see a scientific
study that, that showed that the impact
370
:that osteo strong had, um, bone strength
was much higher than that best medication,
371
:which I'm, I don't want to use and I don't
know a lot about, but that's probably why
372
:Speaker 3: I didn't
373
:Speaker: know that.
374
:Speaker 3: Yeah.
375
:Yeah, it is.
376
:And I will say too, cause my mom
stopped all of her medication.
377
:Right before OsteoStrong and her doctor
had said to her like you're out of
378
:options, you've taken everything 25
years, but she believed in OsteoStrong.
379
:I, I went to meet with her,
gave her all the materials.
380
:She's like, this is perfect.
381
:I'm in awe that there's actually a
business that can do perform Wolf's Law.
382
:So it's based off of a medical law.
383
:And, uh.
384
:So I had said to my mom, you want to be
very careful this first year to not just
385
:be as careful as you can so you don't fall
because there's going to be a lot of old
386
:bone breaking away and new bone growing.
387
:Speaker: Okay.
388
:I didn't know that either.
389
:That's a good thing to tell my mom.
390
:Speaker 3: And so she fell three times.
391
:But she did not break a bone.
392
:And even all the times that, um, she
had fallen in the first four years
393
:of osteoshrong, she never fractured.
394
:She never broke anything
until, um, December.
395
:of 2023.
396
:So, so yeah, it was, I mean, awesome.
397
:And since then with that one
fall, um, it was a very hard fall.
398
:I mean, like her head literally
put a hole in the wall.
399
:Speaker 2: Um,
400
:Speaker 3: and she
fractured, she didn't break.
401
:I mean, um, and then that put her in bed,
which it's so crazy how quick we atrophy.
402
:Speaker: I know.
403
:Right.
404
:I know.
405
:Speaker 3: So,
406
:Speaker: so yeah.
407
:Yeah.
408
:We want to keep moving as much as we can.
409
:And I think, and I love that OsteoStrong.
410
:Okay.
411
:So tell me about those plates.
412
:What are they called again?
413
:Speaker 3: vibration.
414
:So we have you do the
whole body vibration.
415
:We don't go higher than 30 Hertz
because that helps with, um, engaging
416
:your central nervous system in your
brain, connecting them, bringing them
417
:together, because I'm sure, I feel like
a lot of us have seen that picture of
418
:like the mountain underneath the water.
419
:And then the little mountain above,
we live majority of our life, 90
420
:percent to be, Exact in subconscious.
421
:Oh, my gosh, I was
422
:Speaker: just listening to Bruce
Lipton talking about this this morning.
423
:Speaker 3: And back in my
hair world, I educated that.
424
:So um, so with the whole body vibration
before you go on the machines, we
425
:want you to be a hundred percent
conscious, aware your central nervous
426
:system and your brain connected.
427
:So that's where.
428
:We just, we have you warm up.
429
:We usually have some warm up videos.
430
:The coaches are there with you chatting.
431
:Um, and then you go on the machines.
432
:It usually takes about 60
seconds to do each machine.
433
:It is the safest impact emulation.
434
:Um, for getting osteogenic
loading, um, some athletes that
435
:get very strong bones are gymnast.
436
:Well, when you're 60, 70 years old,
we're not going to have you go do
437
:gymnastics to help grow your bones.
438
:Um, and then you do the whole
body vibration afterwards
439
:for neural inhibition.
440
:So again, like everything else in life.
441
:our collagen quits turning
over, um, our hair follicles
442
:aren't turning over as fast.
443
:Um, same with our bone growth.
444
:And, um, so we doing it afterwards
is telling your brain this is normal.
445
:Welcome it.
446
:Keep it going.
447
:Um, and help the body to recover,
which then brings me into the recovery
448
:modalities that we have, um, which they
have a lot of benefits, but the main
449
:reason we have them in there is because
they do help with growing bone and
450
:recovering quickly from the osteogenic
loading because you only need to come
451
:in once a week because unlike muscles,
um, taking 36 hours Um, and you can go
452
:again, the bones take five to seven days.
453
:Speaker: I was going to ask you, is
it more beneficial to come in more,
454
:but it's not, you just answered that.
455
:It's
456
:Speaker 3: not.
457
:In fact, after you've been going a while,
um, like I always tell our members, don't
458
:worry about missing the session here
and there because bless you, bless you.
459
:Speaker: I'm so sorry.
460
:Excuse me.
461
:I don't know if that's
going to come across or not.
462
:Speaker 3: Um, because, um.
463
:If you miss a session here and
there after you've been going
464
:for a while, not a big deal.
465
:And like I always tell members to
please know that with a monthly
466
:membership, you also get four to five
free sessions a year because there
467
:are for, um, months with five weeks.
468
:So, depending on the days and all
of that, but, um, but yeah, you, you
469
:sometimes can see greater results
after you've been coming for a while
470
:and you spread it out to like 10 days.
471
:Speaker: Oh really?
472
:I did not know that.
473
:So that could be something in the future.
474
:Okay.
475
:I have another question and I know this is
like geared toward women and I see women
476
:there and it's kind of like my yoga class.
477
:Like I'm like, I wish my husband felt
comfortable coming, but he doesn't because
478
:he feels like he'd be the weird guy there
and it would be so beneficial for him.
479
:Right.
480
:I feel the same way about us.
481
:Feel strong.
482
:Now I know women and with menopause and
you know, I think it's more prevalent,
483
:but I know Tony Robbins does it , and my
dad has the same back issues as Tony does.
484
:I can't remember exactly what
it's called, but tell me.
485
:This isn't just for women, is it?
486
:Speaker 3: Oh, no.
487
:In fact, just coming off of our grand
opening weekend, we had five couples
488
:sign up between the two locations.
489
:I loved it.
490
:There was one husband that went to a
meeting on osteoporosis for his wife.
491
:And then after going to the
meeting, he's like, I need this too.
492
:Because with another thing, like I was
talking earlier about muscle, okay?
493
:Yes, we're going to lose muscle,
but also our joints become
494
:weaker when we lose bone.
495
:Our ligaments become
weaker when we lose bone.
496
:When I went to my training
for OsteoStrong, one of
497
:the other owners was there.
498
:She put off her knee surgery by
five years by doing OsteoStrong.
499
:Her doctor was like, What are
you doing that your ligaments
500
:and joints are so juicy?
501
:I have never seen such great,
um, joints and ligaments on
502
:an x ray of someone your age.
503
:Right?
504
:Right.
505
:So, um, it definitely
helps with back pain.
506
:Um, my dad, my 82 year old dad has been
doing it the entire time I've been open.
507
:And like he says, I just feel so
508
:He's like, he's like when somebody
walks by me, I'm not afraid, I
509
:don't, I'm not like bracing myself.
510
:And I'm like, you were bracing yourself,
but that, that's those little fears
511
:that, that we have as we age, that we're
not going to tell our kids what they're
512
:going to do, make us do or not do.
513
:Right.
514
:So.
515
:He feels strong.
516
:He's like, I think I could go
and get like a personal trainer
517
:now and go start lifting weight.
518
:Speaker: Well, and here, yeah.
519
:And here's the thing about my dad,
he plays tennis three days a week
520
:and no one in my family can beat him.
521
:Like he is that good.
522
:Yeah.
523
:It's amazing.
524
:But he has back pain and I just can't
help but wonder if this could help them.
525
:And even my husband, you know,
like, you know, and it's sometimes.
526
:The fellas aren't, you know, I
mean, women don't always do a lot of
527
:good self care either, but I think
we're getting there a little bit.
528
:Speaker 3: And I'd like,
529
:Speaker: I'd like them to too.
530
:Yeah.
531
:Speaker 3: And this is
next level self care.
532
:I was just, yeah, this was my aha.
533
:Because when I, when I first opened my
salon, it was a salon hair and nails.
534
:And then I added on the spa 10 years in.
535
:And I heard, Oh, I don't
have time for a massage.
536
:Nails, manicure, pedicure, facial.
537
:I just don't have time for that.
538
:And then it got to be all the
rage, like, let's do it with
539
:our friends and our mom, right?
540
:Well, now it's on our need, PNL, right?
541
:I mean, we just naturally get
a massage, a facial, manicure,
542
:pedicure, every month, hands down.
543
:So I'm like, well, here I am.
544
:Round two, here we go.
545
:Next level, taking care of yourself.
546
:Come on people because I was talking
with one of my guests and she was like I
547
:mean, Julie, it just takes so much time.
548
:I said, well, you do realize you don't
have to do the max package every month.
549
:She's like, yeah, but that's,
that's, what's going to work.
550
:I said, I absolutely agree.
551
:I said, but here's the other thing.
552
:Part of what we've learned over the last
20 years is taking care of yourself.
553
:Doesn't always mean that we have
to be doing high intensive cardio.
554
:Sometimes it's just being
quiet with yourself.
555
:Speaker: Yep.
556
:And
557
:Speaker 3: modalities.
558
:Speaker: And I am a, I would, I've done
like five marathons, that was my thing.
559
:And it did kind of save my head
when I was young and didn't
560
:really know how to do self care.
561
:Um, but yeah, I, I totally agree with
you and I have to, I'm going to tell
562
:you something a little secret here.
563
:I don't get massages.
564
:I don't get facials, but I, you know,
this self care with osteo strong.
565
:It's like from the inside.
566
:It's like, it's so important.
567
:And now I'm like, okay, I probably need
to go get some facials and stuff too.
568
:Right.
569
:Speaker 3: Yeah.
570
:Speaker: Yeah.
571
:Um,
572
:Speaker 3: but Redline is amazing and
I'll share with you, I'll just share
573
:a couple stories with guys coming.
574
:Cause we had one lady coming
for osteoporosis and as she came
575
:her first month, she's like,
Could you guys help my son?
576
:Like, he's in track and he
keeps having to stop because
577
:he keeps having shin fractures.
578
:And we're like, absolutely,
because you grow most of your bone
579
:between the ages of 12 and 18.
580
:And with our lifestyle today, our
kids are not out jumping enough.
581
:So
582
:Speaker 2: there are more
583
:Speaker 3: and more kids being diagnosed
with osteopenia in their teen years.
584
:So long story short, he
came in, he was a sophomore.
585
:He came to us for, um, two years.
586
:And his senior year, one state
587
:Speaker: love it.
588
:I love it.
589
:And I was going to ask you about ages.
590
:And I know I have friends whose
daughter keeps getting, um, a
591
:little hairline fracture, so
592
:Speaker 3: it would definitely, you don't
have to come forever when you're that age.
593
:Like
594
:Speaker: right
595
:Speaker 3: now I have, um, I was talking
with my oldest, who's going to be 30
596
:this year, and he's telling me all of
his aches and pains and I'm like, Hey.
597
:I was there.
598
:I was right with you when I was 30.
599
:I said, but I am 55 now and I
feel better now than I did at 30.
600
:So do I.
601
:Right?
602
:I'm like, you have had OsteoStrong
accessible to you for 6 years.
603
:Shame on you.
604
:Get in.
605
:I said, if you need me
to charge you, I will.
606
:I said, members would love to be my child.
607
:Speaker: Right?
608
:Amen.
609
:Amen.
610
:Speaker 3: He's on the books now.
611
:He's been going.
612
:And, um, I said, yeah, there is no
reason to be in pain and that was an
613
:aha for me too, is that, um, as we age,
we do become in pain because we do have
614
:more pain because our musculoskeletal
system is decreasing and those
615
:joints and ligaments are decreasing.
616
:So that creates more pain for us.
617
:Speaker 2: And
618
:Speaker 3: I'm like.
619
:It clicked with me where I'm like,
that's why elderly people are cranky.
620
:Yeah.
621
:They're in pain and they're not going
to talk about it because then we're
622
:going to tell them what to do and they
don't want to hear that all the time.
623
:Right.
624
:Speaker: So that's that vicious cycle too,
of not sleeping well because you're in
625
:pain, which makes you even more cranky.
626
:And we are
627
:Speaker 3: learning how.
628
:important sleep is for us, right?
629
:And our aging.
630
:So that's where I was like, okay,
everybody really needs this.
631
:Yeah.
632
:Like we, I always say to people,
you are in charge of your own body.
633
:You know your body the best, so come
for a couple months every week, but if
634
:you don't feel like you need it every
week doing it twice a month, you're
635
:still doing something for your body.
636
:Speaker: Right, right.
637
:I love that.
638
:And I'm looking and the time has gone over
what I said it would, but that's okay.
639
:I love chatting with you.
640
:And you know, I think it's just, it's
just, I feel like I could have way,
641
:a lot more conversations with you.
642
:So Julie, I think I'm going to have
to have you back because you know, I
643
:think this is such an important piece.
644
:And like you said, I feel better.
645
:I'm 57 and I feel way better
than I ever did in my thirties.
646
:I was always achy and, and I, I,
it's osteostrong and it's eating
647
:and it's trying to reduce, it's
so many things together, but not
648
:really, it's a little bit simple too.
649
:So I'd love to have you back and we can.
650
:put our brains together and
share what we've learned.
651
:But this has been so good.
652
:And Julie, tell me if people want
to look into OsteoStrong, I'll get a
653
:link from you and put it in the show
notes, but where, where can they look?
654
:It's easy to find, right?
655
:Speaker 3: Yeah.
656
:They can go to osteostrongandmen.
657
:com.
658
:And we do have all the science on there.
659
:We actually, um, tell people when
you, if you want to find the science,
660
:you want to google osteogenic loading
because that is the process that we're
661
:doing with the machines, not bone
density or osteoporosis, osteopenia.
662
:Okay.
663
:So Um, but yeah, osteostrong mn.com
664
:and that'll give you
everything, all the locations.
665
:If you wanna sign up for a phone consult,
if you wanna come in for a group session.
666
:Um, yeah, we're here for you.
667
:Yeah.
668
:Speaker: Yeah.
669
:Yeah.
670
:Yeah.
671
:Well, listeners, if you're interested
and I highly recommend it, check
672
:it out, click in the show notes,
get in touch with us and, um, I
673
:know it will change your life too.
674
:So Julie, thanks so much for being here.
675
:Thank you so
676
:Speaker 3: much.
677
:Speaker: Take good care.
678
:Speaker 3: Thank you.
679
:You too.
