I’m 63, with I’m told, severe Osteoporosis.
I tried OsteoStrong, and I personally feel it’s overpriced and much overrated. I spoke with several people there, and those with improvement, started their program with osteopenia—not severe osteoporosis.
Other people who had severe osteoporosis, who had been there a longtime, actually said there was little improvement seen in their DEXA Scans, but thought OsteoStrong was stabilizing them so it wasn’t getting worse.
I considered the hype, lack of studied proof, and what members told me. I was only there for a short time, because my intuition told me, it wasn’t beneficial for me. Especially, for my overall health and fitness.
The program was more than $99/mo in my area, annd I was told only 1-day/ week wasn’t enough to see the progress I desired—so there’s that.
I couldn’t budget in anything else! So I purchased my own vibration plate that has a built-in program for Osteoporosis, started doing equipment-based Pilates, walking, and weightlifting (not heavy). I make sure I get 1000 - 1200mg of Calcium per day, and receive a Prolia injection every 6-months (Note: I cannot take any other medications due to experiencing negative side effects.)
My DEXA scan is now showing overall improvement, so this is a good path for me.
Thank you for sharing. I'm 53 and was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis, and I'm currently trying to navigate what I should do. There's been a lot of ideas and advise. I wonder which vibration plate is working for you.
