I don’t know of any “all natural” osteoporosis forums. But in addition to the other Doctors mentioned try following Dr Doug Lucas. He uses meds as a last resort.
I’ve learned a lot from the Mayo forum but it seems that all natural post eventually get turned into a push for meds…

Honestly, I've NEVER felt any post was a, "push for drugs." Education, yes ...🩷! The information is offered from real life experiences and I'm so very, very appreciative/grateful for all those in connect who dedicate their time and share their knowledge. The topics have been endless. Helping guide us thru the financial stresses, side effects, sequencing drugs (so important), foods best for OP, exercise, etc.. Also, having pointed us all to some of the best resources out there, expanding our understanding of this neglected disease.
I just cannot thank everyone in here enough...it has helped to allay so many of the fears I first felt when diagnosed.
THANK YOU ALL.

If there were threads involving people with DEXA scores that are over -3.0 and no fractures, I think meds would not be mentioned. There is a sentiment that bone loss is inevitable after menopause and only meds can address that. I guess I consider hormones to be meds too.
If someone's score is -2.8, I think there is a lot of good advice out there including those providers mentioned. Check out Margaret Martin as well at melioguide.com.
Inspire has an osteoporosis forum but the posters there don't seem to post as thoroughly as folks do here on the Mayon Clinic Connect. There is one poster, Dexaguru, who is very knowledgeable.
