10. From Overwhelm to Ownership: Reversing Osteoporosis with Maria Tassoni
In this episode, I sit down with Maria Tassoni, a client I'm coaching in Dr. Doug Lucas' practice, to talk about her powerful shift from feeling overwhelmed by an osteoporosis diagnosis to taking full ownership of her healing. Maria shares how she's learned to navigate bone loss with strength, consistency, and deep self-trust.
We discuss everything from hormone replacement therapy and lifestyle changes to travel strategies, boundary-setting, and her decision to give up alcohol. Maria's story is proof that you can live a rich, adventurous life while doing what it takes to support your bone health and feel better than ever.
WE TALK ABOUT:
- (00:00:00) Maria's initial shock after her osteoporosis diagnosis despite being active and healthy
- (00:06:00) How a missed DEXA scan follow-up delayed her awareness
- (00:09:00) Reaching a turning point and deciding to take ownership of her healing
- (00:11:00) Starting hormone replacement therapy and shifting her mindset around treatment
- (00:14:30) How group coaching helped her set boundaries and honor her needs during the holidays

- (00:18:30) Travel strategies to stay on track while still living life fully
- (00:23:00) The transformation from inconsistent to deeply self-trusting and consistent
- (00:27:00) Navigating overwhelm early in the program and embracing imperfect action
- (00:30:00) The impact of The Miracle Morning and cultivating self-belief through daily habits
- (00:33:00) How journaling, gratitude, and self-reflection supported her healing
- (00:35:00) Osteoporosis as a portal for healing beyond the bones
- (00:38:00) Letting go of alcohol and the benefits to her sleep, energy, and performance
- (00:44:00) Climbing Mount Rainier at age 62 and refusing to let age define her
