My Echolight experience

I have a free consult with OsteoStrong at the end of Jan. 2025. How do you like it so far?
I also lift weights (I haven't worked up too heavy yet) and have a vibrating place where I do my lifting, some balancing, resistance bands, etc.
I'm hoping the OsteoStrong will push things along. I wear a weight belt for squats and on the treadmill.
No meds - the usual supplements.
I also have an Echolight scan scheduled for March to compare with my Dexa last Nov., which showed -3.4 in my lumbar spine and osteopenia in my hips.
I'm hopeful too.

I do like it. Note that it’s a 3-hour drive round trip for me to get to an OsteoStrong, and I’m willing to do that in hopes it will help. I don’t do that drive in winter tho. But once a week for 8 months. I have had another DEXA or EchoLight to measure my progress. Hopeful.

I too lift, with a trainer, and almost as heavy as I can (70-80% max), with fewer reps (5-6), in order to avoid wearing down my soft tissue (tendons, ligaments) that I no longer have the hormones to support. I use a vibration plate whenever it’s working at the gym. I’m fortunate in that my scores are borderline (-2.5) on DEXA, and EchoLight show strong bones, so I’m less worried about fracture from jumping, twisting, and heavy work. Everyone, be careful!
