The Bone Coach Osteoporosis & Bone Health Podcast

Bone Coach™ Health and Wellness – Joining us today to discuss why injuries keep coming back, the truth about inflammation, and the foundational cellular healing cycle is Dr. Christine Smith, Doctor of Chiropractic and functional medicine practitioner with extensive experience in regenerative medicine and complex chronic conditions.
With a clinical focus on cellular repair, inflammation regulation, and long-term resilience, Dr. Smith helps patients understand how stress, toxins, and environmental burden can interrupt the body’s natural healing processes. Her work bridges biomechanics, functional medicine, and regenerative therapies to support optimal recovery and performance.
In this episode, we explore why healing is not linear, how inflammation is often misunderstood, and how the cellular healing cycle impacts bone health, injury prevention, and long-term vitality.

Bone Coach™ Osteoporosis & Osteopenia – Joining us today to explore the role of environmental toxins, red light therapy, and bone health is Dr. Vivian Chen, a UK-trained medical doctor with over 15 years of clinical experience and board certification in internal medicine and family practice. Her approach to health shifted after her daughter was hospitalized as a newborn with unexplained symptoms—an experience that led Dr. Chen to uncover the role of environmental toxicity in both her daughter’s recovery and her own long-standing fatigue, acne, and brain fog.
That journey opened her eyes to root causes rarely addressed in conventional medicine. After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, she made it her mission to help people reduce their toxin load and address overlooked environmental exposures. Today, she educates through her platform, Plateful Health, and is the co-founder of the red light therapy company LUMEBOX.
