Helpful to know a bit more of what the Bone Coach program offers. Thank you for your comments.
I am curous about the material as a stand-alone without the coaching. Can you comment?
Hello @lynnhaz:
I am looking at this program and since you posted almost 7 months ago I am curious to know if you are feeling/seeing results with respect to an improved dexa scan, labs, etc. I would appreciate your feedback after being on this program thus far. Looking forward to hearing whatever you feel comfortable sharing. Thank you.
The exercise part of Bone Coach program....... are there are a lot of videos to use within the program?? I would really be interested to know... thank you!
In reply to lynnhaz, maybe you can answer my question asked a few months ago directly to that company Bone Coach about the cost of their program. A the time I would have like to investigate all the avenues available to treat osteoporosis. Unfortunately what I received from it was promotion after promotion but no idea of what it was going to cost me. So not having any answers I decided to abandon my research about it. I have received multiple emails enticing me again to join their program but without receiving an answer about its cost. Why must it be such a surprise?
@lynnhaz I would like to point out that I did not refer to the Bone Coach program as a "scam". It looks like a well-designed integrative program. Perhaps parts of the program have empirical (published peer-reviewed evidence published in a scientific journal). I wholly support licensed PT, exercise with a licensed personal trainer (I work with an exercise physiologist and licensed trainer) and a licensed nutritionist. However, none of these are proprietary and with the exception of personal training our medical insurance often pays the fee.
The problem - and it's a very big one from my point of view as a scientist (now retired)- is the expense of a proprietary program that has no scientific evidence. If this is a such a beneficial program why not conduct clinical trials under the supervision of an unbiased source?
We are not medical professionals on Mayo Clinic Connect. We do offer emotional support and advice on seeking out good sources for care. The original poster asked for opinions of how you know your osteoporosis gets better? I offered my opinion.
