I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

I too have improved my BMD without drugs. I'll add a chart to show you my progress. I retired at the end of 2018, and committed to daily exercise, alternating walking and weight training. I have improved my diet, but it's not perfect. I am taking no supplements. Last January my baby (62 yrs) sister died after getting Covid and it was a stressful year, and I think my most recent scores reflect that, although I still show improvement from my 2019 starting point in all but Total Hip, and they seem to have changed the way that is calculated?? Anyway. It is totally possible, but I think everyone is different. I wish docs were more willing to run tests to check for causes, rather than prescribing drugs without understanding body function, especially Osteoclast and Osteoblast function. Attaching my scores.

Great job! I’m on the same path. Can you tell a little about how you have designed your weight program? Are you trying to go heavy? Are you doing exercises that load the spine? Are you working with a trainer?
The reason I’m asking is because my weight program is one of my major pillars and it’s helpful to know how it’s gone for others.
Thanks and congrats!

@mlwh I cannot see the whole chart. It stops at 2019 so the part that shows improvement is off screen. Can you reduce the size and repost?
In the graph the femoral neck looks improved but my reports say that is unreliable to measure change.
Your spine scores are serious and you are at risk of fracture, based on my experience with similar scores. For me it just took one unwise movement. It would be impossible, I think, to get them out of the danger range without meds.
Are you saying that stress causes bone loss or that stress interfered with your regimen? Thanks!
