Opportunity to learn of all things Osteoporosis coming SOON!

Posted by ans @ans, Dec 16, 2023

To All!!! January 15-21st will be a FREE Summit entitled " More Natural Approaches to Osteoporosis and Bone Health"- hosted by Margie Bissinger. I did this last year and it was eye opening and transformational for me!!! Everyday there are like about 9 speakers that present from their expertise their ideas, thoughts and recommendations. Each presenter at the end of their lecture provides how to get in touch with them and gives resources to check out. And to boot, many free informational downloads are available . Can't say enough about this!!! Don't miss this opportunity!!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@hopeful librarian I tried Fosamax (like two doses) and really tried hard to get on Forteo, even went to an immunologist. My heart just went crazy and I couldn't breathe. Probably a reaction to something in the solution more than a side effect. Who knows.

During cancer treatment with a drug that eliminates estrogen and lowers bone density, most people go on Reclast but my docs were afraid of afib. That connection has now been disproven.

I was not able to tolerate Tymlos full dose at first at least, and was so grateful for the adjustable pen. I got 6-7 clicks out of 8 and even 8 some days for two years. I believe it stopped building bone after 18 months.

I am about to do Evenity and then Reclast at a 20% dose at first.

@ans do you do "natural' approaches in addition to meds, or without meds?

I am going to try "whole body" approaches when I finally get through my med regimen of Tymlos- Evenity_ 20% Reclast x4.

Thanks for this!

Yes, the multi-day summit is online (not zoom but some other online interface) and consists of several online videos released daily during the 7-day period. If the 2024 summit is like 2023's, you can view those videos at any time on the day they're released, and you'll be able to view all of them on the summit's last day. There was also an opportunity to purchase access to all the videos after the summit ended. I'm not positive but it sounds like the 2024 summit is a repeat of 2023's with some added sessions. I found the 2023 summit's videos helpful and informative, especially the ones with physical therapists, e.g., Sherri Betz.

To all , I had an email conversation with Margie Bissinger yesterday to clarify if the' 24 summitt will be different from the' 23 summitt. She said it will include 8 new talks and was going to list them tomorrow , I'm assuming to her community , of which I am one . She did say there will be a 60 minute excellent exercise class of which 30 minutes will be with Sherri Betz, PT. Sherri Betz is highly regarded and also , if you're curious she's the PT that's in charge of the exercise portion in the Bone Coach program . You can also have sessions with her on your own if you wanted to, or in a group. There will also be a new Masterclass with Kim Millman. For those who don't know Margie Bissinger, the host of this summitt, is a PT as well and Integrative Health Coach that has a particular interest and training in " Happiness" which focuses on happiness and decreasing stress which has a significant impact on bone health.
This summitt would be WELL worth your time if you want to learn tons of stuff in relation to bone health from all aspects!!

Also, FYI, I purchased the content from last year's summit and learned that the additional 8 new presentations for this year's summit were automatically added to my account, gratis. They're available right now and I have a watched two of them already! Great info!

Also, Margie dropped a PODCAST on Jan 2 titled “Osteoporosis Treatment 101 with Craig and Margie Bissinger “ WONDERFUL !! Full of knowing what’s to come in the Summitt but she also provides MANY nuggets of terrific information for those wanting to learn about osteoporosis. Just as an aside , Craig, her husband, is an OBGYN, though functions as the interviewer he provides insights as well from his perspective that were interesting.

@tetris -I thought I read a post from you that indicated if you purchased the 2022 Margie Bissinger Summitt that the new talks she included were added to it . Can I ask , because I purchased it as well . Were all 8 new talks given to you , or just 3? And, how did you become aware of that ? Did Healthmeans reach out to you , or did you just go into your saved program from last year and happened to see they were added? Or what? Please let me know... Thanks a ton!!!
