An osteoporosis diagnosis once felt limiting, but now there’s hope, healing, and a way forward to a full, active life. After nearly six incredible years and over 300 episodes, I’ve pulled together the most impactful clips that have changed lives.
In this special compilation, you’ll hear from world-renowned experts like Dr. Kim Millman on the power of root-cause osteoporosis testing, Dr. Keith McCormick on medication strategy, Dr. Deva Boone on the often-missed parathyroid tumors, and others who have helped thousands reclaim stronger bones and a better quality of life.
I’ve included game-changing advice on supplements, movement, posture, and hope because reversing bone loss is possible. You’ll also hear my personal journey with high-intensity strength training and how this show has empowered real change in our community.
If you're looking for clarity, confidence, and next steps in your bone health journey, this episode is a must-listen. Let me know what you'd love to hear more of in future episodes, and don’t forget to subscribe if you’ve found value here!
