My twin sister and I have osteoporsis - we both have been taking meds for years - and now I am done with meds and trying to find a better way through nutrition. I don't want to take Prolia or any other medications like it as there are dozens with no clear benefit. We, my sister and I are trying to find a better way and the Bone Coach seems to be where I am right now but I am going to contact a nutritionist in my health plan. I am a senior and cannot afford the Bone Coach - all I see on his website are affirmations from those who completed the program, nothing about the program. Any insights how to deal with osteoporsis - I have found that changing our diet - eating less acidic foods and more alkaline foods like veggies. Thank you for your honesty - scared as my bone markers are done so my bones are not making more bone. Marie Torrisi

@lostbone9 It was mentioned last month in this thread, but it bears repeating: melioguide.com. Nutrition is not enough to battle osteoporosis. You also need exercise.

@lostbone9 - I'm finding lots of good discussions on this site as well as Inspire.com re: options other than drugs for OP. Many of the contributors are in their 70's & 80's sharing success stories. Thankfully/hopefully the next generation will not wait until a dr hands them a drug, but will be proactive in diet, exercise, hormones & supplements.

@lostbone9 Any good biochemistry should be able to help you. Several supplements are required in correct ratio. Mine charges a fraction of the Bone Coach.

Thank you for this info. I was just googling this Program. I haven't had my bone density checked recently, long overdue but due severe spine issues, just haven't gotten to it. I was previously in Osteopenia. Im glad I read the reviews of the Program because I got directed here. After reading these comments im no longer interested!!
I would say however if you are concerned about bone loss maybe work with a bio chemist. I have on/ off. The one in my area charges around $700 for a minimal but decent Program. He doesn't provide all the bolstered out stuff but gives strict guide how to eat and MOST importantly keeps a strict eye on one's blood chemistry. To me blood chemistry is surely one of our bodies most important bio- markers. His parameters are much stricter than regular CBC numbers and his knowledge is excellent.
When my elderly mother was recommend a bone loss med...I said NO way....he had told me long term it could cause necrosis of jaw bones. Thankfully an endocrinologist agreed with me / said just make sure she eats well.
Thank you Mayo Cljnic Blog !!

@anniesezu812 eating well, mindfully helps…exercise that you can do, very important ! Sure, check out free videos and maybe a book on OP—Just beware of purchasing very expensive supplements from those docs and other promotional info…. So much sounds good, but careful research is worthwhile…some people prefer to put together simpler supplements their own way…I’m trending that way after experiencing GI issues with a well regarded combo supplement.

Kevin Ellis provides some great information and resources; however, please take the following into consideration before considering paying A LOT for a program:

1. Most supplements have not been shown to be of benefit in osteoporosis (and I am naturopathic doctor so please consider the value of this statement). Yes, getting a little extra calcium, magnesium and vitamin D provide maintenance but have very poor evidence in 'reversing' osteopenia/porosis.

2. Nothing replaces resistance training / weight-bearing exercise AND appropriate nutrition: exercise regularly - get on a program! Get enough protein, avoid sugar, avoid seed oils (essentially all processed foods), cut out alcohol, don't smoke.

3. There are many programs out there that are free if you have the motivation and willingness to do a little research.

4. The prescription drugs help increase bone density and reduce risk of fracture, but also carry their own risks - talk to your doctor. Many patients are prescribed drugs WITHOUT discussion around exercise and nutrition and IMO this constitutes medical malpractice.

5. Building and maintaining bone is a life-long effort.

6. If you are young enough, consider getting your bone assessed with REMS (IN CANADA: BoneHealthScan IN USA: us echolightmedical com/find-a-provider/) to get ahead of the game - REMS and DXA T-scores are relative but not directly interchangeable; however, REMS data has been proven to have increased accuracy over DXA with less susceptibility to interfering factors, a lower margin of error AND provides a measure of BONE STRENGTH using the fragility score. And as a provided bonus, no exposure to radiation.

Remember, once you know you can act. I suggest that most people armed with the appropriate information DO NOT NEED TO SPEND much money to get healthy bones.
