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

@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.

@lenorj Thank you so much for this. What changes have you made since your consultation ?
I will contact him soon. I will need a 24 hr urine test, can he order this for me? I may have the other blood test already, but I am certain I don’t have this one. Thanks again for your response, I really appreciate hearing from you on your consultation.

I spent about $2,500 on Bone Coach, and found that my doctor and clinic were totally uninterested in doing the testing required. So ask to see the list of tests required for participation, and consult your doc before handing over your cash to Kevin Ellis. I already exercise, including weight trainng, and eat a bone friendly diet, and am at my goal weight, so I found the exercise plans unhelpful and the dietary coaching only a confirmation that I was doing well. I tried switching docs, but then had no access to my health history and past lab work, and that seemed important to me, so I switched back this year. I now get some of my own testing through Quest Diagnostics, which I find helpful. I like Doug Lucas and Keith McCormick, but I believe you might do best with a co-operative physician for starters. Mine seems too busy to really think about what I am asking for. And it's not part of her clinics protocol. I'd say use caution before spending your $. Good luck!
