Eat to Live

Osteoporosis Protection for Life


Listen Later

In this episode of the Eat to Live podcast, Jenna joins Dr. Fuhrman to uncover the root causes of osteoporosis—and what really works to prevent and reverse it. They discuss why medications often fall short and how a Nutritarian diet, rich in greens, beans, plant protein, nuts, and seeds, can protect bone strength as we age. Dr. Fuhrman also breaks down the science behind targeted exercises—like those using a power plate machine—to rebuild bone density. Plus, special guest Isabel (Dr. Fuhrman’s 97-year-old mother) shares how she transformed her health through a Nutritarian lifestyle and remains active, sharp, and independent well into her 90s.
