"Calcium from food is the ideal source." — Dr. Jennifer Han

If you’ve been with me for a while, you know bone health is one of my biggest passions. I’ve worked with the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation for over 10 years, and I’m always on the lookout for innovations that can truly make a difference. 

That’s why I’m so excited to share this conversation with Dr. Jennifer Han. She’s a dual residency–trained, board-certified clinical pharmacist, functional medicine practitioner, and co-founder of SEEN Nutrition — the company behind the first calcium chew made entirely from real food. 

Dr. Han’s personal story is remarkable. After a rare bone disease fractured her back just two months after giving birth, she set out to completely rethink calcium supplements — and what she’s created could change the way we all think about supporting our bones. 

In our conversation, we cover: 

  • Why osteoporosis can affect women at any age — not just later in life 
  • Why most calcium supplements fall short, and what makes food-based calcium different 
  • How small, simple dietary changes (yes, even eating prunes!) can support bone density 
  • The importance of regular DEXA scans for tracking bone health 
  • Why it’s never too late — or too early — to start caring for your bones 
  •  Dr. Han’s message is one I want every listener to hear: bone health is a lifelong commitment, and with the right knowledge and tools, you can protect your strength, mobility, and independence for years to come.
