overwhelmed by so much (often conflicting) info on natural approaches

Posted by swuelfing1 @swuelfing1, Dec 3, 2023

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else feels overwhelmed when researching what to do about dealing with osteoporosis naturally. There is so much good info out there which is great. It's just that often it gets sooo detailed such as in the area of supplements that it gets confusing or just overwhelming to decide what to do and narrow it down to a feasible plan. Also there are certain topics that there's controversy about - like yes/no on dairy, if dairy then which dairy, oxylates?, correct exercise? correct supplements, too much calcium? As you research you find several very credible and trustworthy resources who still disagree on so many topics. You could endlessly research and go down rabbitholes on every topic. Has anyone figured out any strategies to keep things manageable and decide what to do?

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

I agree….I feel the same way and have the same problem…I have been trying to figure it all out on my own as I cannot find a medical professional locally who can help…it just seems that I know more about OP than they do. Only answer from them is medication based on a Dexa. I am trying to do all the research on my own, but the terminology and variables are a challenge!

I found Keith McCormick’s book, The Whole-Body Approach to Osteoporosis, very informative. McCormick studied this extensively and shares his experiences and his learnings during his own journey with multiple fractures.
