Your numbers aren't terrible, especially your spine. From what I've seen, it's unusual for the T-score for the hip to be worse, so that's really interesting. Dr. McCormick says that if your scores are better than -3.0 there's a good chance you can improve your BMD naturally. In an interview about OP meds during the bone health, he talked about which are the best for the hip vs the spine, and both Evenity and Prolia are far more effective on the hip than any of the others, though I'm definitely not advocating for taking OP meds, especially not Prolia. My scores are in the severe range for both the hip and the spine, so I'm on Evenity hoping to eventually get out of the hole and switching to more natural approaches. I've made an appointment at a women's health center to discuss HRTs, because my Endo, like yours seems to be anti-hormone replacement.

Thank you for your reply. Do you know I hate to be so jaded but I really think it has a lot to do about big Pharma and the money they make from these drugs. I have a lot of people in my family in the medical community and there are reps that come into the offices, pushing, pushing pushing, it’s really a sad state of affairs. I remember my internist wanted me to go on Prolia over 10 years ago and I wasn’t even that bad I had similar numbers to now it really gives you paused to think. There are a lot of YouTube videos on the hormone replacement therapy… As long as you don’t have hormone driven cancer in your history, you shouldn’t have a problem they do make you feel better all the way around even with mood. Good luck to you and keep in touch. People are really afraid of the subject of hormone replacement therapy at the bio, identical kind anyway.
