Hi there,
Dr Young treats bone density problems with AlphaSwitch Training!
New research sheds new light on the question, "when is it too late to build stronger bones." read article here.
The bigger idea here is that because the Power Plate is such an easy habit to adopt daily, this enables your body to receive continual stimulus.
Stimulus then creates response. The response is a more fully activated body, MINUS the pain that usually accompanies really pushing yourself.
More on bone and osteoporosis.
There has been a major shift in how the medical community approaches osteoporosis prevention and treatment.
This clear shift has been toward healthy eating and exercise as a primary focus.
When you move, the fluids in your body move through you, and "through" your bone.
Your muscles pull on bones, which triggers constant "bone remodeling."
Bones also store critical nutrients, which get released at critical times.
When you are fully active and putting stress on your body, you are keeping your bones strong, full of critical nutrients.
Fluid is moving through, and even your metabolic functions are working they way they should.
==>> The force created by impact is the most powerful trigger to set these essential process in motion.
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Acceleration = Power Plate
Force = Healthy Bones
If you google "how to prevent osteoporosis" you'll see this for yourself.
Weight-bearing exercise like running, tennis and dancing are cited by Johns Hopkins as a particular focus.
But what if you feel like it's too late to make a difference or it's already hard for you to exercise??
This is where Power Plate comes in.
Think of Power Plate as a machine that gives you the benefit of intense exercise, without having to do intense exercise.
Power Plate is the ultimate exercise "cheat system."
If you have your own Power Plate, you need to stand on it, turn it on and stay on the machine for 8 or 9 minutes.
==>>For hips and legs, do a gentle squat during this time. Hold onto the handles.
==>>For arms and wrists, turn on the Power Plate and do plank pose and pushups for a few more minutes after your squat.
Power Plate use also helps to quickly improve balance. There is some great research around that.
When you use Power Plate long term, a few times a week, the improvement can be measurable.
The other great thing about Power Plate is that as you use it, you'll likely start to get the energy and confidence to start to move more.
And also do things you used to.
The Power Plate vibrates on average 1200 times every 30 seconds. This is impossibly fast, and you can't count this fast.
The secret key to Power Plate is that this super fast vibration is also comfortable.
These 1200 "precision waves" stimulate your muscles 1200 times. Muscles are connected to bone through tendon.
The muscle that is right around your bones plays a really important role. As this skeletal muscle is activated, it "tells" the bones to get stronger.
Muscle and bone gets stronger and weaker together. When you make your muscles stronger, you are going to make your bones stronger.
****This can happen at any age.***
We have seen people in their 90's use Power Plate to get stronger and more mobile. To be able to walk up and down the stairs much more easily.

ALPHASWITCH TRAINING SPEEDS YOUR WALKING SPEED

Most people tend to associate aging with visible markers: wrinkles, graying hair, or the morning stiffness that makes rising from a chair a deliberate act.

Yet researchers who study longevity, functional independence, and the biology of aging often focus on a far simpler measure: how quickly someone walks.

Known in clinical studies as gait speed, this metric has emerged over the past two decades as one of the strongest predictors of future health outcomes. Repeatedly, investigations have shown that the pace at which a person covers even a short distance—sometimes just a few meters—can forecast risks years in advance.

Those who sustain a brisk, steady walking speed are more likely to remain independent longer, suffer fewer falls, preserve muscle and bone strength, and maintain sharper nervous system responses. In population-level studies, they also tend to live longer.

At first glance, the connection can seem improbable. How could something as mundane as walking pace reveal so much about the body’s inner workings?

The explanation lies in what gait speed actually represents: an integrated snapshot of multiple physiological systems operating in concert.

It reflects the health not only of the legs but of the muscles, nervous system, vestibular balance mechanisms, reaction times, cardiovascular circulation, and overall coordination.

When these systems function effectively, the result is what observers intuitively recognize as a confident stride: rising swiftly from a seat, crossing a street without hesitation, ascending stairs fluidly, and recovering quickly from a misstep.

But when even subtle declines begin—perhaps in neural signaling, muscle responsiveness, or circulatory efficiency—the changes manifest first in movement. Strides shorten. Caution increases. A subtle fragility emerges.

Studies of aging now indicate that this slowdown often precedes more overt signs of decline, such as chronic disease or disability. Movement, in essence, serves as an early barometer of systemic health.

This is why gait speed has become a key marker in gerontology and clinical research.

It also underscores a fundamental aspect of human physiology: the body is as much a mechanical system as a chemical one. Every adjustment to balance, every rapid neural command to stabilize posture, every muscular contraction to maintain uprightness constitutes an ongoing dialogue between brain, nerves, and muscles.

So Dr. Young’s AlphaSwitch program trains fast twitch or phasic muscle which will improve walking speed.

There is a huge amount of interest in wellness and root cause health approaches. People now want to get fixed, and back to a place where they no longer "can't" do things.

At Cold Rush Wellness we are here to play a central role in getting your body back to a place that you might not have thought possible.

As most of you know, we have a lot to teach about how Power Plate can help or help fix almost any health or fitness issue.

We talk a lot about muscles, bones, brain, recovery, balance and pain.

But there's a TON more going on at the cellular level to help get at the root cause of repair.

Stem Cells, Nitric Oxide and Growth Hormone are central to these repair processes.

But what do you focus on? Where do you start?

You don’t need necessarily another supplement. (Although there are powerful tools in that area.)

What you need is a TRIGGER for your whole body.

A trigger that activates everything your body already knows how to do — faster, deeper, smarter. This one does it quickly, easily and without pain or extra motivation.

Welcome to the trigger/secret weapon elite biohackers, leading physical therapists, and doctors are building their advanced routines around. In their own lives and in the lives of their patients.

It’s not red light. It’s not cold plunges. It’s not a peptide.

It’s the Power Plate — and it delivers harmonic whole-body vibration with medical-grade precision.

In the comfort, privacy and convenience of your own home.

If you’ve never felt being on a Power Plate, picture this: every muscle in your body engaging without conscious effort, fluid instantly flooding into under-nourished tissue, and your brain, bones, fascia, and nerves all being activated simultaneously. And it starts working right away.
1. Stem Cells Without Injections?

When most people hear “stem cells,” they think of expensive injections, medical tourism, or controversial science. That’s fair.

For years, the only way to get stem cells was through direct extraction and injection — often at a cost of $5,000 to $20,000 per treatment.

But here’s what almost no one knows:
Your body has the ability to release its own stem cells — no needles required — using something called mechanical stimulation.

Power Plate creates a very specific form of mechanical stimulation called harmonic whole-body vibration. It’s precise. It’s controlled. And it sends a signal deep into your bones, muscles, and fascia that triggers your body’s internal repair systems.

The Science: More Than Just MSCs

The buzz is mostly around mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — the versatile, repair-everything stem cells your body keeps stored in your bone marrow. But Power Plate also influences other critical regenerative agents:
Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs): Essential for immune system and blood regeneration
Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs): Repair blood vessels and improve cardiovascular health
Satellite Cells: Muscle repair and regeneration, key for strength and recovery
These cells aren’t just created — they’re mobilized. That means your body releases them into circulation, delivers them to tissue that needs repair, and activates them on-site.

The Emerging Research Around Power Plate and Stem Cell Activation/Production

A 2022 paper in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology confirmed that mechanical vibration enhances stem cell activation and improves tissue repair — without pharmacological assistance.

Other research from the Journal of Orthopaedic Research shows mechanical signals delivered to bone marrow increased circulating stem cells in as little as 10 minutes per session.

==>>When it comes to stem cels activated from bone marrow, Power Plate plays a unique role among all physical and supplement options.
And that’s just the start. Vibration also enhances the release of nitric oxide, growth hormone, and tissue-regenerating peptides — creating a full-body repair environment.

Most people don’t believe the body can heal this way — because no one ever showed them how. But once you experience it, the shift you experience is hard to ignore.

You keep doing it, because it is easy to do and feels good.
2. Power Plate Is A Nitric Oxide Factory

It’s easy to assume nitric oxide is something you get from beet juice or L-citrulline. But those are indirect ways of coaxing your body to produce more. There’s a faster, more powerful route: endothelial shear stress.

When you move — especially when you move in response to rapid vibration — the lining of your blood vessels experiences mild mechanical stress.

That stress tells your endothelium to release nitric oxide naturally. This process happens fast, and it’s measurable.

Power Plate produces high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration across three planes of motion — creating exactly the kind of dynamic stress your vascular system needs to unlock nitric oxide production at scale.

What That Means for You

More nitric oxide means:
Increased blood flow to the brain
Better nutrient delivery and waste removal
Lower systemic inflammation
Improved vascular flexibility and circulation
One study showed that 30 seconds of vibration can spike nitric oxide levels significantly — faster than traditional exercise and without joint stress. NASA has even used this method to protect astronaut vascular health in space.

Translation: nitric oxide isn’t just a supplement strategy. It’s a mechanical one — and Power Plate gives you the signal your cells are waiting for.
3. Growth Hormone Without The Expense Or Crazy Workout

Growth Hormone is a major part of the Power Plate story, and gets peoples attention.

==>> Most people don't know that Power Plate is also a Growth Hormone Factory.

How could standing on a vibrating surface increase growth hormone? Isn’t that what heavy lifting or sprint intervals are for?

Here’s what’s happening under the surface: Power Plate creates rapid-fire neuromuscular engagement — especially in the large, fast-twitch muscle fibers of the legs and core.

These fibers are directly tied to growth hormone release.

In a study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 10 minutes on a Power Plate triggered a 361% increase in circulating growth hormone.

That’s higher than many HIIT protocols.

Growth hormone is your body’s chief repair hormone. It builds lean muscle, improves skin elasticity, supports fat burning, and accelerates tissue recovery — all things that are central to whole body recovery.

With Power Plate, you’re stimulating these responses passively — no max-effort workouts or long recovery windows required.

Here’s how to try it:

With AlphaSwitch training, there is a very simple exercise to add to your Power Plate routine. It'll help all of us keep a straighter and stronger spine as we get older.
It will also help those of us who play golf. When your spine is straighter and stronger, it is more stable.
This creates a stable axis that makes it easy to hit a crisper, cleaner golf shot. A strong healthy spine means a swing that is more naturally on plane.
A more stable spine also means a more steady head. When your head is steady, you are more likely to hit the ball clean.
Your approach shots will land on the green.
This is the reason so many PGA tour golfers have used Power Plate over the years. And why Power Plate is being added to most gyms that cater to athletes.
A stable and steady spine also helps keep your posture in a good place. We all need to do this exercise, and it especially helps us as we get older.

08/04/2026

AlphaSwitch Training Follows the Science

The precise harmonic vibration waves from a Power Plate help to pe*****te the body in a way that "teeter totter" whole body vibration will not.
Teeter totter machines (at the mall and on Tik Tok) shake the lower half of your body. Power Plates harmonic waves fully pe*****te the neuro muscular system.
And most importantly this is measurable.
This is the reason that Power Plate is the standard in the elite sports and medical/therapeutic space.
When you use a Power Plate you are going to have stronger, more flexible knees. Your tendons are going to be less tight.
You'll have more muscle and less fat. Everything will work better.
If you happen to be a professional athlete, Power Plate will help you recover 50% better. (Reduces DOMS by this amount)
No matter who you are, Power Plate will help your body work better and help you feel better.
At any age....
If you look at an MRI of a 40 year old who runs and compare it to an MRI of a 74 year old that runs, the two images can look identical.
You'll see plenty of muscle in the legs, very little fat and equal amounts of bone.
If you throw in an image of an inactive 74 year old, you'll see someone with much more fat, much less muscle, and less bone.
The risk of something bad happening to the inactive person is obvious. See the MRI images here.
You have heard that "movement is medicine." Whether it is knee pain, hip pain or any other joint pain, when your muscles start moving, your body starts to heal.
This new research shows this. 559 different people were studied over 14 different trials.
The collective results showed statistically significant reductions in pain scores among individuals receiving WBV compared to those in control groups. When you are able to exercise, you are able to keep muscle and bone strong.
If you can't move, your body is degenerating in slow motion. It's literally the difference between living and dying.
If you are considering a Power Plate and are still on the fence, visit our Science Behind Power Plate website.
High quality whole body vibration (the good stuff) helps every part of your body. It helps you feel good. It even helps people who are in a serious situation.
Power Plate and Whole Body Vibration continues to be the most researched technology in the health/fitness world.
A new study published in late 2023, measured Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) in overweight young men.
The study concluded that Whole Body Vibration significantly increased RMR after just 2 weeks of use. The people in the study all ate the same calories, exercised the same amount. Adding Whole Body Vibration made all the difference.
When it coms to fat loss, adding Power Plate to the mix nearly ensures long term success. You don't need motivation or willpower. Just turn your Power Plate on and stand on it.
According to Mayo Clinic, "as little as" 15 minutes of use, 3 times a week helps boost fat loss, decrease cortisol, increase blood flow.

How Power Plate Boosts Natural Growth Hormone:

Here is a quick rundown of some science that helps to explain how this can be true.
1) It is well established that Whole Body Vibration can increase levels of Natural Growth Hormone (GH) in the body by a measurable and meaningful level. Between 400% and 2600% in a range of different studies. (source).
2) It is also well established that once GH levels increase like this, collagen production inside the body goes up. Also to a measurable and meaningful degree.
This particular study measured different types of tissue in the body and found that increased levels of GH led to increased levels of Type 1 Collagen and Type 3 Collagen in tendons and skeletal muscle. This study showed increased level of Collagen in the skin after an increase in GH.
==>> What we find interesting is that Type 3 collagen is considered the softer "youth" collagen. We have Type 3 when we are young, and as we get older, the firmer Type 1 makes up 80% of our collagen.
For those of you who have been around the skin care discussion, you know that increases in Type 3 collagen lead to increased skin elasticity, hydration and firmness. (source).
What Does This All Mean In Super Simple Terms?
1) When you use a Power Plate, you are going to increase levels of Growth Hormone in your body, naturally. (Other forms of intense exercise can also increase GH levels).
2) This is going to lead to some level of increased collagen production in your entire body. Everyone will be different in terms of the exact effects.
We are writing this down for you because this idea presents yet another reason to use Power Plate Whole Body Vibration.
More collagen in your joints, tendons and connective tissue is going to keep your body working, more comfortably.
More collagen in your skin is also a great motivator to start the Power Plate habit in your home or at the gym. You'll feel good immediately, and you'll be motivated to "bring your workout to the Power Plate" to get these wonderful benefits.
The Power Plate can help even the most sedentary individuals make their body work better. The more you can bring to the equation, the more exercise there is to be amplified and accelerated.

Good Morning-
This is a new piece on how Power Plate trains your nervous system for a more responsive body.
Most people look at Power Plate and see muscle activation, bone activation, brain activation, lymphatic activation and general functional health improvement.
==>> The more interesting story is the nervous system.
And how this impacts optimal human function of EVERY human.
Every step, every reach, every moment of balance depends on a continuous, silent conversation between your brain, your spinal cord, your sensory receptors and your muscles.
Your nervous system must know precisely where your body is in space, how it is moving, and exactly how much force each muscle must deliver to keep you upright and stable.
AlphaSwitch workouts on the Power Plate enters that conversation. It floods the system with rapid, mechanical information.
Vibration stimulates the sensory receptors responsible for proprioception—the body’s innate ability to sense its own position and movement.
Research shows that whole-body vibration increases this proprioceptive input and can meaningfully influence motor control and balance.

AlphaSwitch Training utilizes the best tool to train your metabolism!! The Power Plate!!!

So what does the evidence show about Power Plate and your metabolism?

These are 8 key ways that Power Plate usage reprograms your metabolism. The protocol here is daily 60-120 second warm up each morning, combined with these workouts.

Mobility Is One of the Most Overlooked Drivers of Metabolic Health

1. Muscle-recruitment reflexes fire 30-50 times a second. Every pulse forces the large postural and deep-core muscles to contract, raising oxygen uptake and caloric burn even during quiet standing or prone sessions. (this also quickly improves balance, reducing risk of falls)

2. Transient hormone surge. A single 10-minute bout can push growth-hormone levels up 4- to 26-fold in obese women, mimicking the lipolytic spike you’d expect from heavy resistance work. (Growth hormone increases are strongly correlated with increased collagen and immediate Nitric Oxide production)

3. Higher workout density. When vibration is layered onto loaded squats, metabolic power rises significantly without extra sets or reps, while perceived effort stays the same. (Your brain is essentially programmed to be more motivated)

Short-term (first 2–4 weeks) adaptations

4. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) goes up. In a 2-week RCT (10 sessions) with healthy young men, RMR rose significantly alongside resting VO₂, while the control group flat-lined. (your fat burning engine has been built and it is humming along)

5. Better glucose handling. A 2024 network meta-analysis of 10 RCTs in type-2 diabetes found that vibration trimmed HbA1c by ~1.6 percentage points—outperforming conventional or resistance training. (more sugar is used for energy, less sugar stored as fat)

6. Substrate shift. Acute trials show the body leans harder on carbohydrates during and immediately after vibration, then rebounds with elevated lipid oxidation—similar to an interval workout. (you are training your body to use its own fat reserves for energy.)

Longer-term metabolic wins seen in special-population studies

7. Metabolic-syndrome makeover. A 2023 systematic review in adults with Met-S reported improvements in body composition, blood-pressure profiles, flexibility and overall quality of life after 8-12 weeks of vibration programs. (Use a Power Plate each day = your metabolism works properly again)

8. Downstream body-comp change. Meta-analyses in older or overweight cohorts consistently show gradual fat-mass reduction and lean-mass preservation when WBV is used 3–4× per week for ≥12 weeks (dose-response data summarized in clinical-utility reviews).

More: When you start using a Power Plate, your body starts to burn more sugar/food for energy and store less as fat.

When we are in fat storing mode, it feels like something is blocked.

Often, you feel like you are doing everything right, but not making any progress. At all.

You keep hearing that is just calories in, calories out.

You might also be experiencing cravings that are "next level."

Also, you can probably remember a time when you had the motivation to move and you were not thinking about food so much.

The Power Plate is almost a magically ideal tool to help break through a "metabolic blockage."

One does not need motivation, just the ability to stick to a short plan.

Not only is it easy to use a Power Plate to eliminate a metabolic blockage, there is also overwhelming scientific evidence that this will work for nearly everyone.

Sometimes very quickly. At a minimum you feel good right after using a Power Plate. Why? Your muscles have been forcibly activated. And the cells in your muscles are now gobbling up extra energy-- because they have been TURNED ON.

Numerous studies on people of all stripes show that when someone uses a Power Plate to do very basic bodyweight exercises for 9 minutes a day, their resting metabolic rate (RMR) goes up "significantly." (This is just one example).

In most studies this happened in just 2 weeks. (!!!!)

When your resting metabolic rate goes up, you will have more energy and motivation. Your cravings are likely to go down.

--This does not mean you are going to lose magical amounts of weight instantly.

--This does mean you are going to have a TON more hope to get back on track with your life.

AlphaSwitch Training Targets the Stabilizing Muscles of the Spine - The Multifidus Muscles!

If the small muscles that support the spine are not contributing effectively, the back loses part of its natural support system.
If the muscles surrounding the knee are not being recruited properly, stability can suffer.
The same principle applies throughout the body. This is where Power Plate plays a unique role.
The multidirectional vibrations produced by the Power Plate create what scientists call the tonic vibration reflex.
This is a natural neurological response that causes muscles to contract and relax in response to vibration.
In simple terms, when a muscle is exposed to vibration, the nervous system immediately recognizes the stimulus and responds.
The result is increased neuromuscular activation.
This mechanism helps explain why Power Plate became popular with Olympic athletes, professional sports teams, rehabilitation clinics, and performance specialists long before it became known as a wellness tool.
There is a common misconception that Power Plate is primarily about saving time.
The reality is more interesting than that. Power Plate helps improve communication between the nervous system and the muscles throughout the body.
The goal is not simply to exercise more efficiently. The goal is to help the body function more effectively.
If improved muscle recruitment can help elite athletes perform at a higher level, it can help almost anyone move, balance, and function better as well.
Power Plate delivers a controlled mechanical stimulus that the body can detect and respond to.
That stimulus travels through the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, creating a response from the feet to the muscles, joints, and even the brain.

07/20/2026

AlphaSwitch Training is designed to
Improve balance, mobility, endurance and strength!

Mobility and adaptability are two of the clearest signs of how well the body is functioning.
Mobility reflects your ability to move freely, efficiently, and confidently, while adaptability reflects how well your body responds to changing demands, recovers from stress, and maintains function over time.
This is one of the reasons we created the Human Function Index (HFI).
The Human Function Index brings these elements together by measuring the capabilities that support real-world health: strength, balance, movement, coordination, recovery, and resilience.
Rather than looking at any single metric in isolation, HFI shows how well your body is working as an integrated system—and where targeted activation can help improve function.
The HFI is designed to help people better understand how their body is performing across multiple dimensions of physical function.
Rather than focusing on a diagnosis or a number on a scale, the HFI looks at your systems that support movement, mobility, balance, strength, and independence.
Because when these systems begin to decline, fall risk often rises. And when these systems improve, people frequently report feeling stronger, more stable, more confident, and more capable in their daily lives.
The goal is not to predict the future. The goal is to understand where you are today.
Once you know that, you can take action.
This is also where the Power Plate can play an important (even critical) role.
Power Plate was designed to help activate the body’s natural movement systems through precisely controlled harmonic vibration.
Research has shown that whole-body vibration can support balance, mobility, muscle function, and physical performance—all factors that contribute to healthy movement and long-term independence.
The first step, however, is understanding your starting point.
Because the earlier you identify changes in function, the more opportunity you have to improve them.
And Alphaswitch Training will do just that!
