I want to tell you why I don’t get bone scans. So about 30 years ago, suddenly, there was an epidemic of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Why, suddenly, did you become aware that supposedly everyone’s bones have thinned, and you’ve got thinning bones if your DEXA scan isn’t high enough?
Great post, Robyn! Why are these jaw-killing drugs still being marketed, and what makes a gynecologist an expert on bones when her financial incentive is to scare women into relying solely on popping a pill? Dr. Tyna Moore on her podcast urges everyone—especially women—to lift weights to prevent sarcopenia. The Bone Coach podcast is full of practical advice. I worked with a guy who was a gym rat. One morning he woke up and couldn’t move his arms— it turns out he had crumbling vertebrae from osteoporosis (in his 50s) due to steroid use!

It’s the strontium in Ultimate Minerals that make bones strong.
