Thank you for your comments. For stress relief, I started meditating a couple of years ago. I use two apps - HEADSPACE and INSIGHT TIMER. What I have learned that is vey helpful, in addition to meditating, is breath work that can be used anytime I feel stressed to calm me down. Learning to meditate is a process but well worth it. I especially like INSIGHT TIMER for the variety of meditations they have based on a Morning Check In on how I'm feeing. And both apps have meditations of varying lengths - 5 min to 20 minutes or more. So you can always fit in at least a few minutes. I strive for daily to be consistent.

Nondairy products are fine based on calcium levels. Both nuts and seeds contain calcium that are good for us. I snack on nuts and add seeds like chia seeds to my smoothies. Google "calcium in nuts and calcium in seeds" and you will see a list and how much calcium contained in each specific nut and seed. Yes, these supplements can be expensive. But it's also important that our bodies will absorb the calcium and minerals or we have wasted money and time. I look for the most bioavailable, meaning my body will absorb it well. I order supplements from Ancestral Supplements for bone builders - Bone and Marrow is one and Living Bone is another, SFI Health for Ultra K2 and I also take Boron recommended by my doctor from a company called trace minerals.

Hope this is helpful. We all have to find what works for us. I don't recall if I mentioned it in an earlier post, but my last dexascan showed no significant changes - meaning I held steady which is so much better than continuing to get worse. This dexascan was one year after my previous one and I asked my doctor to request it as I was curious how I was doing and didn't want to wait another year.
Best to you, G.
