Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

My twin sister and I have osteoporsis - we both have been taking meds for years - and now I am done with meds and trying to find a better way through nutrition. I don't want to take Prolia or any other medications like it as there are dozens with no clear benefit. We, my sister and I are trying to find a better way and the Bone Coach seems to be where I am right now but I am going to contact a nutritionist in my health plan. I am a senior and cannot afford the Bone Coach - all I see on his website are affirmations from those who completed the program, nothing about the program. Any insights how to deal with osteoporsis - I have found that changing our diet - eating less acidic foods and more alkaline foods like veggies. Thank you for your honesty - scared as my bone markers are done so my bones are not making more bone. Marie Torrisi

@lostbone9 It was mentioned last month in this thread, but it bears repeating: melioguide.com. Nutrition is not enough to battle osteoporosis. You also need exercise.

@lostbone9 - I'm finding lots of good discussions on this site as well as Inspire.com re: options other than drugs for OP. Many of the contributors are in their 70's & 80's sharing success stories. Thankfully/hopefully the next generation will not wait until a dr hands them a drug, but will be proactive in diet, exercise, hormones & supplements.

@lostbone9 Any good biochemistry should be able to help you. Several supplements are required in correct ratio. Mine charges a fraction of the Bone Coach.

Thank you for this info. I was just googling this Program. I haven't had my bone density checked recently, long overdue but due severe spine issues, just haven't gotten to it. I was previously in Osteopenia. Im glad I read the reviews of the Program because I got directed here. After reading these comments im no longer interested!!
I would say however if you are concerned about bone loss maybe work with a bio chemist. I have on/ off. The one in my area charges around $700 for a minimal but decent Program. He doesn't provide all the bolstered out stuff but gives strict guide how to eat and MOST importantly keeps a strict eye on one's blood chemistry. To me blood chemistry is surely one of our bodies most important bio- markers. His parameters are much stricter than regular CBC numbers and his knowledge is excellent.
When my elderly mother was recommend a bone loss med...I said NO way....he had told me long term it could cause necrosis of jaw bones. Thankfully an endocrinologist agreed with me / said just make sure she eats well.
Thank you Mayo Cljnic Blog !!

@anniesezu812 eating well, mindfully helps…exercise that you can do, very important ! Sure, check out free videos and maybe a book on OP—Just beware of purchasing very expensive supplements from those docs and other promotional info…. So much sounds good, but careful research is worthwhile…some people prefer to put together simpler supplements their own way…I’m trending that way after experiencing GI issues with a well regarded combo supplement.
