Episode Description

"Osteoporosis medicine can cause your jaw to rot."

It's one of the most common fears people have when they're prescribed treatment for osteoporosis—and one of the biggest reasons many never start the medication at all.

In this episode of the Stable Health Podcast, Sharon takes a practical, evidence-based look at osteoporosis treatment, separating real risks from internet myths.

You'll learn how osteoporosis medications work, the difference between bone-protecting and bone-building therapies, and what the research actually shows about reducing the risk of devastating fractures.

Sharon also tackles the side effects that generate the most concern—including osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical femur fractures—while putting those risks into proper clinical perspective.

Most importantly, this episode explores the risk that often gets overlooked: untreated osteoporosis and the fractures that can permanently affect mobility, independence, and quality of life.

If you've been prescribed osteoporosis medication, are caring for someone with osteoporosis, or simply want a clearer understanding of the benefits and risks, this conversation is for you.

Because informed decisions are always better than decisions made from fear.

Stay stable.
