In this episode, host Debi Robinson sits down with Chef James Barry, a culinary expert with over 20 years of experience cooking for celebrities like Tom Cruise, George Clooney, and Barbra Streisand—and the creator of Pluck, the world’s first organ-based seasoning blend.

They explore why organ meats — often overlooked or avoided — are among the most powerful nutrient-dense foods on the planet. From bone and joint support to gut health and hormonal balance, James shares how liver, kidney, heart, and other organs provide the key vitamins and minerals we’re missing in modern diets.

They also dive into the ancestral approach to eating, digestion, and why reconnecting with our instincts about food may be the ultimate act of self-care.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why organ meats are considered “nature’s multivitamin”
  
  
• The critical role of Vitamin A, K2, B12, iron, and zinc in bone and metabolic health
  
  
• How a deficiency in these nutrients contributes to osteoporosis, fatigue, and inflammation
  
  
• Why so many women are nutrient-deficient but not calorie-deficient

In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, I welcome back Dr. Jeff Gross—renowned regenerative medicine specialist, former neurosurgeon, and a leading voice in cutting-edge healing strategies. Together, we explore the incredible potential of stem cells, exosomes, and regenerative medicine to reverse joint degeneration, optimize bone health, and even slow the aging process.

Dr. Gross explains how chronic inflammation, lifestyle stressors, and toxin exposure accelerate aging by depleting your body’s stem cell function—and how biologic therapies like exosome injections can help restore vitality, repair tissues, and potentially help you avoid surgeries like joint replacements.

Whether you’re struggling with knee pain, bone loss, osteoporosis, or long COVID, or you’re simply interested in aging with strength and mobility, this episode is a must-listen.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What stem cells are and how they function in regeneration
  
  
• The difference between PRP, stem cells, and exosomes
  
  
• Why exosomes may be the future of joint repair and anti-aging
  
  
• How chronic inflammation leads to stem cell exhaustion and accelerated aging
  
  
• The role of bone marrow as your body’s regenerative powerhouse
  
  
• Why targeted exosome injections into bone (not cartilage) yield better long-term results
  
  
• Insight into natural killer (NK) cell exosomes for cancer support and immune health
  
  
• Why Dr. Gross shifted from surgery to regenerative medicine
  
  
• The systemic impact of lifestyle, diet, EMFs, and toxins on healing
  
  
• How regenerative therapy supports osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, autoimmune conditions, and longevity

Is there one molecule that could help you detox, reduce inflammation, support hormone balance, and strengthen your bones?

Yes — and it’s called glutathione.

In this episode, Debi sites down with Dr. Nayan Patel, pharmacist, researcher, and author of The Glutathione Revolution, to explore the science and real-life impact of this master antioxidant. You’ll learn why glutathione is essential to healthy aging and how it connects directly to detoxification, bone health, hormone replacement therapy, and managing oxidative stress.

Whether you’re in your 30s, 50s, or beyond, this is a must-listen episode for anyone seeking optimal health and longevity.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• What glutathione is and why it’s so important for your body
  
  
• How oxidative stress contributes to bone loss, hormone imbalance, and aging
  
  
• The real impact of alcohol, pollutants, and poor digestion on your body’s detox system
  
  
• Why glutathione production drops with age—and what you can do about it
  
  
• How to boost glutathione naturally through food, supplements, and lifestyle
  
  
• Dr. Patel’s revolutionary transdermal glutathione delivery system and how it works
  
  
• Inspiring story of Dr. Patel’s 85-year-old father’s transformation through glutathione

Debi’s 5 Takeaways:

1. Support detoxification daily—toxins are a root cause of bone and hormone breakdown.
   
   
2. Manage oxidative stress—it’s the real aging culprit behind the scenes.
   
   
3. Rethink alcohol—just one drink can deplete glutathione to zero.
   
   
4. Support digestion—you can’t absorb nutrients (or make glutathione) without a healthy gut.
   
   
5. Practice gratitude—your nervous system, stress response, and bone health all benefit.

We discuss:

• The role of the vagus nerve in healing
• How smell directly calms the brain and body
• Fascia, lymph, and circulation as key players in bone health
• Specific oil blends for parasympathetic activation, inflammation, and hormonal balance

• The shocking link between gut health, inflammation, and thyroid function
  
  
• How low thyroid impacts digestion, nutrient absorption, and bone loss
  
  
• Lifestyle factors that can reverse or support thyroid health naturally

Dr. Joshua Schacter, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who performed over 15,000 surgeries, chose to walk away from the traditional medical model.

We talked about why he made that decision and what he’s doing now to help patients heal without relying on surgery, bone medications, or steroid injections. Dr. Schacter’s story is personal, powerful, and eye-opening — especially for women dealing with joint pain and osteoporosis.

What I love about his approach is that it aligns so closely with what I teach: bone loss is not just a number on a scan. It’s a metabolic, inflammatory, and hormonal issue that requires a whole-body, root-cause solution.

Are the beauty products you use every day harming your bones? In this episode, host Debi Robinson speaks with Trina Felber, a nurse anesthetist and clean beauty advocate, about the shocking number of toxins women are exposed to daily through their skincare, makeup, and personal care products. Learn how these toxins disrupt hormones, contribute to bone loss, and what you can do to switch to safer, healthier alternatives.

Trina shares simple steps to identify hidden toxins, read labels like a pro, and make easy, affordable changes that will protect your health and the health of future generations.

Discover:

1. The surprising link between toxic overload and bone health.
2. Why your skin is your “second gut” and how it absorbs chemicals.
3. The truth about “unscented” products and why water can be the worst ingredient.
4. How generational exposure to toxins affects fertility, metabolism, and overall well-being.
5. Simple, actionable steps to reduce your toxic load and protect your bones.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

• The number of toxins women are exposed to daily.
• How toxins are absorbed through the skin and affect the body.
• The role of the liver in detoxification and why it can get overwhelmed.
• The connection between toxins, fat storage, and weight loss resistance.
• Why “clean” and “unscented” labels can be misleading.
• The worst ingredients to avoid in skincare and makeup.
• How to read labels in three seconds.
• The impact of toxins on fertility, menopause, and bone health.
• Actionable steps to detox your personal care routine and make your own products.

Actionable Insights:

1. Become a Label Reader: Start flipping over your products and look for water as the first ingredient. It’s a sign of chemical-based skincare.
2. Beware of “Unscented”: Unscented doesn’t always mean fragrance-free. Look for truly fragrance-free options to avoid hidden toxins.
3. Detox Your Routine: Begin by swapping out a few key products like moisturizers, makeup, deodorant, and dental products for cleaner alternatives.
