Bone Coach Kevin Ellis, Dr Doug Lucas or Dr Keith McCormick?

It seems that there are good sources of help that don’t cost a fortune, especially if you are proactive and willing to do the research from reliable sources like Mayo Climic or Cleveland Clinic , Harvard health guides online,etc…. It’s worth the effort and some well-focused expenditure. PT that focuses on osteoporosis is one thing I feel is worthwhile. There are some good combo supplements out there, worth some time researching - I checked mine first with doctors. Good luck ! Let us know how you are doing.

There has been much discussion on existing threads under the label Osteoporosis. I would hate it if you missed all of that discussion and experience by depending on a new thread. Check it out.

@shelldct1 Doctors advertising high priced solutions on the internet always raise a big RED FLAG fot me. If they were that good people would be beating their door down. And any proprietary supplements can be acquired through your local practitioners and shops.

Shelldct1, don't decide until you've read McCormicks's book and watched all of Lucas' videos.
I'm partial to Lucas' ideas, but the ads. I wouldn't buy any of the products they sell. I see Sue's red flags.
Part of the value of each is that they make us feel safer. But it can be good to have the encouragement and engagement of these programs. You might schedule consultations with each before buying in to the whole program.
I hope you come back and tell us everything you find out.

Who did you end up going with?

Have you decided on who you will use? I’ve been considering having a Dr. McCormick consultation and my curious if you’ve done any consultations yet?

@izziesue I've consulted with him a few times. What I like about him is that he does not always jump to "you need medication." He's also good at checking all the various things that could possibly be contributing to osteoporosis.

Before the initial consultation, he is going to want copies of your DEXA and all your bloodwork. He will also suggest a number of blood and urine tests. Note that if you are in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut, he cannot prescribe lab tests in those states, so you would have to get another doctor to do so.

@izziesue
I had one consultation with Dr McCormick, so far. I found it very informative. He went over all test results in away that my other Drs have not. He pointed out the RA factor on my blood work that is a likely a contributing factor to my bone loss. We discussed medication options, pro and con. He suggest 2 more simple tests that will provide more information about my specific bone loss problem. He gave me lots of info that I can use to more proactively communicate with my local Drs. All and all well worth the time and money.

@lenorj What is the RA factor? Thanks for replying! I plan on seeing him as soon as I can gather all the information I have to send in.

@izziesue Hi! I plan on meeting with Dr McCormick. I have reached out to his office already. I am gathering all the data he needs, which is taking awhile to get from my primary physician and my endocrinologist.
