Today I'm excited to introduce you to my friend and colleague Dr. John Neustadt, a naturopathic doctor and graduate of Bastyr University. He's an expert in bone health and prevention of osteoporosis, as well as a researcher, speaker, and author of the book "Fracture Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis."

While we often think of osteoporosis as primarily affecting women during perimenopause and post-menopause, it's important to note that about 80% of osteoporosis cases are in women and 20% in men. Like many chronic diseases, the condition progresses for many years before receiving a diagnosis.

Research shows that approximately 70% of women 50 years and older have some bone loss, and this might be an underestimate considering the many commonly prescribed medications, such as antidepressants and acid-blocking medications, that can damage bone health even earlier in life.

If you have osteoporosis and fracture a hip, there's up to a 65% chance of death within a year. However, it's important to understand that while serious, this isn't an emergency. There's time to educate yourself and create a holistic bone health plan.

I'm so glad to be able to connect with John and be able to bring a natural and holistic solution to my patients and listeners who are wanting to prevent osteoporosis and fractures.
