Has anyone treated their osteoporosis without drugs?

@pyates … I understand where you're coming from, but many people have had difficult experiences with medications, and it's absolutely valid to approach any treatment with caution. That said, it's important to remember that each person’s journey with this disease is different, and what works (or doesn’t work) for one person may not apply to another.
Researching treatment options, including medications, isn’t about blind trust in the pharmaceutical industry, it’s about exploring every possible tool to slow progression and preserve quality of life. I think we can all agree that those living with chronic illness deserve access to accurate information and support without judgment or unnecessary negativity.
If you have concerns, it’s perfectly okay to raise them, but doing so respectfully helps everyone feel safe to share their experiences and make the best decisions for their own health.

@hemigal04 I recommend checking out Margret Martin at https://melioguide.com/about/ . She is a PT that has a wealth of information on her site, She also offers a variety of products, books & videos that are reasonably priced. For 2 years now I have followed some of her exercise plans and improved my diet and saw improvement in my most recent Dexa scan.

I'm confused now...are you saying I disrespected someone on this board? If so, I'm surprised, as that wasn't my intention, and - as best as I can tell - I didn't say anything disdainful or arrogant.
Regarding my post, I merely stated that I am not aware that osteoporosis could be treated without meds. OP asked a very general question, and my intention was to be helpful by sharing info I've obtained from reading and listening to doctors. That's all.
In fact, if anyone knows of any non-pharmaceutical treatments for osteoporosis, I'm eager to listen. I'm living with the disease myself.
