Who Diabetes Type II Affects
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), type 2 diabetes patients worldwide total 347 million, accounted for 1.5 million deaths in 2012, and by 2030 will represent the seventh leading cause of death around the world. . Amongst South and East Asian, and Afro-Caribbean populations, diabetes prevalence is double that of Caucasians. Tis is a concern given the general disparate access and substandard health care among minorities .
Physical medicine interventions (e.g. exercise and physiotherapy) have seen success with the type 2 and pre-type 2 populations. Aerobic exercise has consistently been shown to improve glucose control and improve insulin sensitivity. Congruent with this evidence, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), as well as the NICE guidelines recommend that individuals with type 2 diabetes perform a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and/or at least 90 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per week. Even though such a minor lifestyle modification could have a substantial impact on the metabolic health of this population, it is often difficult for those who have a sedentary lifestyle to adhere to these guidelines.
A recent population-based study found that only 28% of individuals with type 2 diabetes achieve these recommendations. Unfortunately, it is frequently those who would beneft the most from aerobic exercise that have the greatest difficulty engaging in it. For individuals with severe obesity, arthritis, physical disabilities, and/ or diabetes complications, even walking for 20–30 minutes may be difficult, uncomfortable, or even painful, thereby making it impractical to expect wide adherence. With the prevalence of type 2 diabetes continually increasing worldwide, it is evident that alternate forms of physical activity that produce similar metabolic improvements to aerobic exercise may be beneficial in the management of this disease.
OsteoStrong May Help with Diabetes Type II
There are multiple, well-proven and safe approaches to treating type II diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Fortunately, these different approaches can be used individually, or in conjunction with one another. When viewed as single therapies however, it is OsteoStrong that performs the best compared to the other standards of care in the reduction of HbA1c (long term blood glucose measures).
The osteogenic load in OsteoStrong® sessions strengthens the bones to withstand greater forces, crucial for track and field actions such as sprints and jumps. These sessions expose athletes to significantly higher forces than normal training, leading to significant improvements in bones and muscles and a reduction in neural inhibition. Alongside physical changes, neurological adaptations occur, and the nervous system learns to deal with and coordinate high-force scenarios more effectively. This leads to a reduction in neural inhibition, allowing athletes to utilize a greater proportion of their muscular strength and capacity.
These improvements translate into better athletic performance, with faster sprints, longer jumps and more powerful throws.
OsteoStrong® sessions complement traditional training methods, providing a unique stimulus that promotes growth and adaptation in ways that conventional training cannot match. OsteoStrong® sessions complement, rather than replace, existing aerobic or strength fitness training programs and do not cause exhaustion, complementing existing training programs.
Tony Robbins said in 2019 that “in the future there will be two classes of athletes. Those who use OsteoStrong® in their training and those who lose!”
In conclusion, the intense forces applied during OsteoStrong® sessions stimulate a cascade of positive adaptations in the body, culminating in stronger bones and muscles, along with improved neurological functioning. For athletes, these improvements can lead to marked improvements in performance, giving them a significant advantage in competition.
Frequently asked questions
Osteostrong is not a gym. We don’t bulk up at all (sarcoplasmic hypertrophy). We work the muscle at the cellular level, increasing its density and by extension its strength , but not its volume .
Yes, many showing T-scores as low as -4 from their DXA scans do sessions at OsteoStrong. Even in these extreme cases, members have completely reversed their osteoporosis without medication. As with all medical conditions, we encourage people to consult with their physician prior to starting sessions at OsteoStrong.
Yes, and you will see impressive results by applying both methods at the same time. However, it is not advisable to exercise right before the osteogenic activation sessions . The reason is that when one exercises, especially with weights, it depletes ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate – short-term energy “fuel” inside muscle cells), which is necessary for a proper osteogenesis activation session.
We suggest the Osteostrong session precedes the gym.
People with a significant history of fatigue fractures had very good results with the activation of osteogenesis. However, you should consult your doctor before starting our program. There may be other biochemical factors that contribute to these fatigue fractures. Osteostrong does not have doctors on staff, therefore we cannot provide medical advice.
Results vary from person to person.
Here are some general rules/conclusions based on the testimonials of our members:
Joint and back pain
Most often our members experience a significant reduction in joint and back pain within one to four months after starting OsteoStrong syndromes, and this reduction is often permanent and complete.
If someone has arthritis due to cartilage loss, OsteoStrong sessions will strengthen the ligaments and tendons in the joint area, causing the bones in the joints to move apart. When this happens, much of the pain will subside.
Osteogenic loading sessions have amazing results and an impressive track record of performance, but we cannot guarantee that there will be results for everyone because we simply do not know the cause of the pain. In addition, once the pain has subsided, we recommend continuing the sessions so that it does not recur.
Increase in bone density
An increase in skeletal strength or bone density can only be determined by the relevant test (DXA). It usually takes 12-18 months from the time the member starts with OsteoStrong for measurable results to be seen. In some cases, results are obtained at 6 months.
Balance improvement
Most people notice an initial improvement in their balance after just one or two sessions which continues as the sessions progress.
Muscle Strength
Most of our members, regardless of their fitness level, feel the improvement in their overall strength in about four sessions. Regular sessions help maintain/improve strength for many years.
Posture
Many members with severe kyphosis problems have resolved it in five to fifteen sessions.
Vertebral compression fractures are usually caused by sudden loading, particularly “impact” loading. This is why therapists do not use impact exercises as a method of treating osteoporosis. However, osteogenic loading was developed in opposition to this approach. We teach our members to apply loads in a slow and controlled manner, using nerve inhibition as a natural protective mechanism. One can, using an osteogenic loading device, apply abrupt loads eliminating the inherent safety of the method. However, as long as proper osteogenic loading protocols are faithfully applied and with constant monitoring of sessions by qualified session coaches, the chances of injury are infinitesimal.
Osteostrong is the only method in the world that, without exercise and dietary supplements, actively contributes to strengthening the skeletal system by activating the natural function of increasing bone density and muscle mass.
It is based on the use of four (4) robotic machines of innovative technology (Spectrum system), each of which achieves the strengthening of different parts of the human body, resulting in the acquisition of a strong musculoskeletal system.
The principle of the method is the law of osteogenic loading, which was formulated by Dr John Jaquish, using the findings of the German doctor Dr Julius Wolf, who as early as 1892 argued that bones adapt to the load – pressure applied to them. If the load – pressure on the bones is increased, then the bones reform so that over time they become stronger to cope with the increased load – pressure. Under conditions of higher pressure, bone density increases and the bones become stronger. The beneficial effects of osteogenic loading are documented in more than 25,400 clinical studies.
There are four (4) categories of people who cannot use the system:
People with muscular dystrophy – A genetic, race-related, degenerative disease of the skeletal primarily muscle and heart muscle.
Pregnancy after the 3rd trimester
Hypertensive individuals who do not control their blood pressure with medication. If controlled, there is no problem
People with hernias in the abdomen. Hernias in the back or even in the neck are not a contraindication, on the contrary we help them a lot.
Based on research, the ideal frequency is once a week. Bone remodeling takes time to develop. If you overload her (coming more often than once a week), you will actually slow down the process.
Through the Osteostrong method, we can apply heavy loads to our bodies in a completely safe way. When we put very heavy loads on our body, our nervous system is stimulated to a huge extent. When we stimulate our nervous system strongly and in the right way, we achieve much better proprioception. Proprioception is the connection between our nervous system and our muscles, our balance.
Yes, to some extent. The main calorie consumption is done by the muscles. In Osteostrong, we activate tissue growth in the muscle fiber and with this new tissue you may begin to process glucose more efficiently burning more calories. Despite any improvement though, 90% of weight loss always comes from proper nutrition.
Related published research (2012, Deere & Tobias) makes it clear that bones are not strengthened by conventional exercises or weight training. It proves, at the same time, that the minimum load that must be exerted to activate the growth of our bones is 4.2 times our body weight (4.2 BW). Exercising such force, outside of an Osteostrong environment , is not feasible for most people. The good news is that our exclusive Spectrum System allows members to safely apply much higher loads than the minimum required (4.2 BSP) thereby triggering the desired osteogenesis process.
