@sueinmn FYI….I know you’ve mentioned living in Texas for part of the year. UTSW has an excellent Bone & Mineral Metabolism Clinic that I’ve gone to for many years. They have the DXA , but will also do a 24hr urine collection to see how your body is absorbing critical minerals for your bone health. It’s very comprehensive . Based on results, they will discuss your diet specifics and make supplement recommendations . The first time I went for an appointment , I took my recent bone density test results with me. The doctor chuckled and said UTSW had the best machine , and wanted to scan me again to get results he trusted . Sure enough, the results were different ! Side note on that doctor , apparently he is a genius in the field , and was the one who started the clinic . You may be doing something like this at Mayo, but if not, you may be interested in an appt at UTSW/Dallas while in Texas .
Also , forgot to mention, I have osteopenia that has stayed stable . I also have asthma , sometimes requiring oral steroids, but for the most part maintenance with Trelegy 100 seems to be working .

I have seen several post where people refer to bone health. I have been waiting for the opportunity to share this with everyone. Since I have learned about this I share this with everyone that I can. These are youtube links that will help you understand about K2, D3, and calcium. Dr. Berg also has a couple of videos you can search for. This is not new research but it was new to me when I learned about it. Now the K2 supplement is hard to find locally so I get it on line, the brand name nutricost Vit. K2 I get the one that also says MK-7 on the bottle. Please please take the time to learn of this and share it with others.
