The Truth About Osteoporosis and Osteopenia


Listen Later

Strong bones do more than prevent fractures; they help you stay active, confident, and energized no matter your age. I caught up with Kevin Ellis, aka the Bone Coach, a Forbes-featured integrative health coach who's helped thousands of people worldwide improve their bone health through his Stronger Bones Solution. We talk about what your bone density scores really mean, the difference between bone quality and bone density, and practical steps you can take today to strengthen your bones. Kevin also shares simple nutrition tips, supplements like vitamin D3, K2, and collagen, plus safe exercises that fit your lifestyle.

If you've ever worried about osteopenia or osteoporosis, Kevin's personal story and guidance make it feel manageable and even empowering. From resistance training to balance exercises, he explains small, actionable ways to protect your bones while setting up a healthy foundation for future generations.

And while you're taking care of your bones, don't forget your daily boost with Mighty Maca Plus, packed with 30+ superfoods that even my three-year-old loves. For women wanting to feel vibrant and confident, Julva cream is a gentle, natural way to support intimate wellness. Visit dranna.com to try them today.
