While conventional medicine approaches osteoporosis primarily through medication, Functional Medicine, as always, is looking for the root cause. Once the topic was out there, I was surprised by how many people were affected and wanted to talk about bone health and find ways to address it and hopefully start to slow and possibly reverse bone loss through targeted lifestyle choices. Recently, a friend in his 40s broke two bones and found out that he has osteoporosis. I walked to my yoga class in a weighted vest (good for your bones!) and a few curious practitioners shared that they also had an osteoporosis diagnosis. Osteoporosis has been a hot topic in our office since I posted my first article, Osteoporosis – How Strong Are Your Bones? Patients (mostly women in their 50s) have reached out to share their stories and concerns.
