You may be exercising, watching your nutrition, and taking steps to protect your bones, but are you paying attention to the things that can make your efforts more effective?
On this World Osteoporosis Day episode, I’m joined by my husband, Dr. Craig Bissinger, to share the often-overlooked pieces of a comprehensive bone-health plan.
We discuss bone turnover testing, why comparing DEXA results matters, and exercise components beyond lifting weights. We also explore nutrition, calcium, magnesium, vitamin K2, protein, and the connection between stress, happiness, and bones.
The best part? You don’t have to change everything at once. Small, consistent steps can help you build healthier habits and support your overall well-being.
Tune in to discover what might be missing from your osteoporosis plan and choose one simple step to start with today!
“When you take care of your health, you’re taking care of your bones too.”
