I hope you get the results you are looking for with that combination. Interesting about your doctor’s perspective on the effectiveness of HRT due to the length of time between menopause. I’m going to consult with a doctor that specializes in bioitentical hormones and see what she has to say about that. In a video on OsteoBoston with Dr. McCormick, he mentioned that the brain receptors may not accept the estrogen anymore due to a lack of use. Opinions seem to be changing though. Please let us all know how it goes with Osteostrong. I am working out several times a week, but still considering joining Osteostrong. I am trying to mimick the isometric loading in the gym in the meantime.

Thanks for the info. I am working on finding out if Medicare and supplemental will reimburse.

Would like to hear the results of that consult. Are you willing to share your age?

There is a new study on Osteostrong that will be published in an orthopedic journal.....not sure which one yet

FYI, I am taking virtual (online) strength training classes from Dr. Sherri Betz, (https://www.drsherribetz.com/virtual-pilates). It is my understanding the classes use the LIFTMOR clinical trial's exercises. Sherri's terrific and specializes in strength training using weights, resistance bands, etc. for persons with osteoporosis. She offers a 30-minute beginner's class on Fridays (it usually is 45 minutes and includes post-workout Q&A). She also has a 50-minute intermediate class on M, W, Sa and a 1-hour advanced class on T, Th. There are other physical therapists who provide online strength training classes too. I mentioned Sherri's classes because they also try to build bone density like OsteoStrong, though (more) safely IMHO.
