Dr Jack Yu Explains - Bones are Addicted to Vibration

In this episode of Good Vibes with Becky Chambers, Becky sits down with Dr. Jack Yu — surgeon, professor, and pioneering researcher in whole body vibration (WBV) science — to break down exactly what happens to your bones, metabolism, and immune system when you vibrate. Then, Becky leads you through a full WBV workout combining resistance training, HIIT, and cardio intervals!

✅ Why bone is "addicted" to cyclic loading (and what that means for osteoporosis)

✅ How NASA's research on space-induced bone loss led to WBV science

✅ Einstein's gravitational field principle — and how vibration mimics it

✅ WBV results in healthy mice vs. menopausal (ovarian failure) models

✅ Stunning metabolic findings: HbA1c dropped 30% in Type 2 diabetic mice

✅ How WBV reduced inflammation markers by 120-fold (IL-17 vs. regulatory T cells)

✅ The immune system's "5 D's" — and how vibration helps restore balance

✅ How 10 minutes on a vibration machine equals ~1 hour of conventional weight training
