Yes. Please. I’ve read some about that. I’m concerned about bone health without taking those horrible drugs. DONT TAKE PROLIA. The side effects can be monstrous. Class action suits are in the near future.

I was blown away by his results. (Dr Flechas)

One of my Drs (OBGYN) years ago told me to lift. weights, NOT supplement with calcium or any of the Rx for osteopaenia . No idea when I’ll ever get another dexascan done but looking forward to see potential results. I do lift ALOT as well. Helps with stress too.

And I’m old, lol.

1.) Also read up on considering getting an REMS Echolight scan. It is FDA approved (which post covid scandal makes me ? that nod) but uses ultrasound & doesn’t just evaluate bone density (like DEXA scans that use radiation) but also measures bone strength- which may be even more important. This new technology is also less prone to operator positioning errors.

Echolight- REMS.

2) Checkout the recent approval of a non pharmaceutical therapy that uses a vibratory belt device for spine osteopenia soon to be available!!!

Recommend “The Myth of Osteoporosis: What every woman needs to know about creating bone health,” by Gillian Sansone. Made me open my eyes to the quacks out there on osteoporosis.
