It's so good to read that you had an improved DEXA after making a number of changes. Would you be willing to share what you have done in terms of diet, supplements, exercise and stress reduction? Many thanks!
Hi evaontario,
I'm happy to share.
Here's a timeline and a list of things I changed (diet, supplements, exercise and stress reduction). I probably forgot a thing or two, but this is pretty thorough. I hope it helps. All the best on your journey to better bone health.

May 2023 - Prolia injection
Jan 2024 - First Evenity injections
Mar 2024 - Started HRTs (low dose CombiPatch)
Oct 2024 - Last Evenity injections (10th treatment)
Nov 2024 - DEXA: Spine = -2.1 ; Left femoral neck = -2.6
Nov 2024 – 2 mg Reclast infusion
Vitamin B12 switched to 5MTHF (methyl-folate) May 2024
Vitamin D
Magnesium
Ashwaganda
Fortibone collagen
No NSAIDs
Dr. Lauren Fishman’s 12 yoga poses for osteoporosis
Stomping
Heel drops
Squats
Walking
Stress relief with yoga nidra
Natto 5 times per week
Prunes 4 times per week

Reduced sugar and caffeine intake
Dairy from grass-fed cows: kefir, yogurt, cheese, minimally pasteurized and non homogenized whole milk
Lots of protein (organic and/or grass fed meats. Eggs from pasture raised chickens)
