What you’ll discover in this episode:
- Why building and maintaining healthy bones are NOT just about calcium intake. (In fact, too much calcium can contribute to coronary calcification i.e. kidney stones.)
- Why it’s important to consume forms of calcium that alkalize the body, and the BEST forms—the most available and easily absorbed forms—of calcium. (It’s NOT dairy!)
- The 3 areas of your lifestyle you must re-evaluate after menopause in order to maintain healthy bones. (Hint: One of them has to do with stress—worrying a lot is damaging to your bones.)
- Why taking bone drugs is a LAST resort and the standard test you should have done to determine WHY you’re experiencing bone loss. (This test is rarely performed.)
- Why bone density scans are NOT the best ways to assess your bone health and why a fracture risk assessment is a far better tool.
- Signals to pay attention to that your bones are not healthy. (They’re not what you would think!)
