So many of us, like you, are not into meds, only taking ones very necessary…my docs all agree that exercise that addresses OP issues,in addition to walking, etc. is key…paying attention to calcium and vitamin D in diet does help…my cancer team, PCP and osteopath all agree that taking a combo supplement can also be helpful … I researched, looking for plant-based, organic and 3rd party tested and found a few. Gave the exact lists of ingredients/amounts to docs to review and approve…I will be taking PT for OP at NYPresbyterian to get maximum benefit from the exercises. And I love my walks and simple, self-created dancercise at home. Yes, it’s effort, and each person needs to find their own best path, and then try to put worries off to the side.
