Have you ever been told you have osteoporosis, and told to just take calcium, and sent on your way with zero other questions asked? Would you like to hear what a bone researcher who specialises in nutrition and exercise has to say about this?
We cover:
Why "I eat tons of dairy and still have osteoporosis" isn't the gotcha people think it is
What your bone density score can't see, and what matters even more
How much of your bone strength is genetic, and how to max out the range you were given
How I rebuilt 8% bone density in under a year, and what Sandra says really drove it
Calcium, vitamin D, and K2: which forms your body can actually use, and when supplements just become expensive urine
