No. Meds make your bones denser, but degrades the quality. Get on HRT and hire a trainer. Heavy lift and eat protein.

@dvargo That isn't true for Evenity, Tymlos, or Forteo. You've repeated this falsehood a number of times. Why?

Diet, exercise and lifestyle changes are understood to be part of the osteoporosis journey, but as stated in some of these articles there may be a time when those alone are not enough and the risk of side effects becomes a much lower risk than the risk for serious fracture. Always consult with your medical provider before making any exercise, supplement or decision to take or not take a medication.
