Hi! I've been recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and my doctor strongly suggests Evenity. I'm far more interested in learning how you built your bone density through nutrition, exercise and supplements. I'm particularly interested in which supplements and the dosage you take. Also what exercises did you do other than sidestepping? Many thanks for your help. This all new to me. I'm in the early process of gathering information so I can make an informed decision.

@doreenc if your doctor wants Evenity, that may mean your DEXA and rate of bone loss is concerning. My view is that after menopause, bone loss seems inevitable, though it would be interesting to hear from anyone who has not had that experience. There are threads in this forum from people using natural approaches.

You might want to get a hold of a copy of Keith McCormick's book "Great Bones,' which covers both "whole body" approaches and medications. There are many videos on YouTube as well, and people here can make suggestions.

I tend to be pro-medication due to fractures, myself. Your options are Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity for initial bone building, followed by Reclast (or Prolia, but my docs don't use that). I chose Tymlos and am now doing Evenity.
