Your comment is one of the BEST I’ve read on this board. I was diagnosed recently at 63 YO with osteoporosis. I was surprised and shocked. I am 100 pounds, eat a fairly healthy diet, exercise 3 times a week, do yoga, and golf . I have read Keith McCormick’s “Great Bones”, along with listening to many podcasts on medications, exercises, etc. Just like you, I am doing lots of research. I am waiting for my medical records so I can send them to Dr McCormick because I would like to do a consultation with him. In July, I see an endocrinologist. I hope she will do lots of lab work to see what is causing my OP before putting me on medication. I would like to try a natural path (strength training, supplements, better diet) for a year. If things don’t get better, then maybe I will go on medication. I am hoping Dr McCormick will be able to provide some insight into what is causing my osteoporosis and how to improve my bone density. Good luck to you and I hope you can keep us updated on your progress.

How do you reach Dr. McCormick and how costly to have him consult?
