I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

I appreciate this issue. I am newly diagnosed but I have read Lani Simpson, Keith McCormick, Margie Bessinger (podcast), etc. My lumbar spine average is 3.6 while other areas are not as bad. I have been a pescetarian for 25 years and it's hard to imagine eating meat but perhaps it is necessary. Vegans seems to have a high incidence of Osteoporosis; and it seems that dairy sources of calcium are questioned by many of these folks. I did hear about the "Keto Green" diet ("MenuPause" book) which has vegetarian options; but I haven't read the details yet and I am not sure as that info contradicts others such as Dr. Doug Lucas. So much info! Trying to avoid medications at this point but that seems difficult to achieve.

@moxiegirl Keith McCormick used Forteo and Fosamax, himself, and Lani Simpson, in the master class I took with her in 2021, was about to start Tymlos (her book is a bit dated).
With a spinal score or -3.7 I fractured 3 lumbar vertebrae in one moment, with an unwise movement. Unfortunately osteoporosis has no symptoms so this happened without warning. For me, these fractures were painful but also life-altering. Both offer a lot of information on holistic approaches that help many of us, whether on meds or not.
I tried to get on meds for years, then gave up, then tried again, and finally succeeded in doing Tymlos by starting at a low dose (the pen for injections is adjustable). My -3.7 went up to -2.5. If you are nervous about medications, maybe the adjustable dosing would appeal to you. Your score in the spine seems serious but maybe you have FRAX scorer and a good doctor to guide you.
ps I am curious why you have been told eating meat is necessary?!
