disappointed that it was focused on pharmacueticals instead of natural remedies,
Excellent presentation, thanks so much

Great topic!
I learn so much from this channel.
Thx....!
Great information. It is well organized and substantial. Would you please do an update for 2021?
Yes, please!
Thanks
Excellent Podcast 🙂👍
This is a wonderful lecture however what about people who grew new bone by taking vitamins D & K calcium type 123 collagen and weight bearing exercise . My Dr said I could not do it I was at a 2.0 at 62, what about diet supplements studies instead of drugs. Why no studies on this I tell everyone stay away from drugs an do it naturally I assume if I could improve others could to.
I agree!
I have very damaging osteoarthritis with my fingers and they hurt even more when doing all the housework, I find taking organic turmeric daily helps reducing the inflammation, along with reduction on sugar intake and certainly vitamin D with mild exercise under the sun. Especially chi Kung and stretching that really help to mobilise the joints and relax the muscles.
Video is on Osteoporosis not Osteoarthritis.
Wow. First O video I watched that doesn't melt into gibberish with dozens of names of stuff to remember. This is so clear and intelligent. I thank you doctor; you are awesome. I am a 67YO F with a DEXA of 4.5! Had natural menopause at 33 from having fragile x syndrome run in my family. My immediate plan is to make bone broth, gather up all the goody supplements like k2 (not the mountain), D, etc. etc. Then get on a decent exercise program. What does anyone think? My doc thinks it's too late for that and that I should go on prolia or something. Which makes me wonder: do I die of a broken hip, or do I do from some devastating outcome of one of the O drugs? Hmmmmmmmmm, the choices are hard for us women!
I feel exactly the same!
Go with the medications (ex Alendronate, Prolia etc), as well as calcium, vitamin D, and exercise (all synergistic). It is all a numbers game. Your odds of the greatest quality of life are with the medications.
@@getstarted7168 Are you a doctor? And are the odds greater long term? In other words, for how many years do scientists have data on the long term effects of these drugs? 1 year? 5 years? Who has the answers to this? I ask these questions as your advice is on one side of the equation. With all of our knowledge on the negative long term effects of many drugs I suppose it might be foolish not to consider this.
@@beegeefan4ever Thank you bee. Gee!
@@annettegenovesi4012 only trust functional medicine... Medications and calcium intake are dangerous (calcium deposit on the aorta...
One must watch out for depression in older women. Depressed women often have trouble getting motivated to cook a healthy meal from scratch. So they end up eating only or mostly snack items or things you can cook in less than ten minutes. One expert has called this the tea and toast syndrome.
Gwin Willis I guess I’m here.
@@nunawatson4307 I hope you are doing well and not having trouble with osteoporosis or depression.
I am a doubter for sure.
Need to update your research on calcium.
What specifically was incorrect?
As responded earlier by others..: (and I advise you to do your own research if you can)
* Supplement vitamin D3 (I use same amount as received on a sunny day, 10,000 International Units = 250 mcg (micrograms) per day.
* Supplement Vitamin K2, at least 100 mcg per day. K2 directs Calcium to bones and teeth, avoiding organs and blood vessels, this is very important!
* Always supplement Magnesium, 250-350 mg of the element per day, this is approximately 2.5 grams of magnesium citrate. Never use the oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, chloride or sulphate forms, these are not well absorbed in the body.
* Rarely advised, but very useful, especially for those with some form of arthritis: 3 - 20 mg of Boron per day. I use a borax solution that I prepare myself. Stock solution: 10 grams of Borax in 500 ml of water, I use 5 ml (1 tbsp) of solution in a glass or bottle of water. It activates the brain, so never take before sleep. ( 10 grams = 0.35 oz, 500 ml = 17 fluid US oz).
Get your Calcium from food, not supplement. Find info on the internet for natural, not artificial sources.
Avoid heavy processed foods, sugar, refined carbs. Protein is needed to produce healthy bone! Exercise if you can, try to get good sleep 😊
interesting that she mentioned tai chi as a good tool.
Does not help. No acknowledgement of the danger of calcium intake when the bone-metabolism for a cause or another stays on catabolism... No mention of the importance of K2... So i must find a more updated source of information... In the meantime resistance exercises...
Three years ago, when I was 57, because of type 1 diabetes, my endocrinologist ordered a DXA scan. My T-score was -2.4, I've been on risedronate sodium ever since, plus a daily supplement of 1000 mg of calcium with vitamin D. Last year the DXA scan gave a T-score of -1.1. Yay! But the bone mineral density was even worse. So now, in addition to the bisphosphonate, I take an additional 1000 international units of vitamin D. In a couple of weeks, I get a third DXA scan to see how it's going.
David Collins for healthy bones you need to have a 1:1 ratio of calcium and magnesium. Bones are made up of more than just calcium. As well as vit D3 you also need vit K2, which directs the minerals to the bones. Excess calcium just gets deposited in soft tissues such as arteries and that can lead to heart attacks. bTW I'm a 54 year old woman and I also take a collagen supplement for my bones, without collagen the minerals have nowhere to go. Collagen also gives bones the flexibility they need so that simple falls won't result in fractures.
@@birgittabirgersdatter8082 Thanks for the information! So 1:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, vitamin K2 to put minerals in the bones, and collagen supplements to top it all off. I am going by what my endocrinologist prescribes. She has done dozens of blood tests and I'm sure she knows if I'm too low or too high in a particular mineral. I'm not going to self-diagnose and start buying over the counter supplements; I only take supplements prescribed for me.
David Collins Take K2 too watch video just put in K2+ D3
David OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my gosh. Please tread carefully, as I heard the radiation from the DEXA'S are higher than they want us to believe. And you don't want to reach your cancer threshold. Anyway, curious as to how your mineral density was determined? Thought they just went by the dexa, no?
@@lynnwilliams5432 K2 plus D3= KD5!
I eat sushi sheets. Nori has Zinc and trace minerals. Also turns white fat into brown fat. For cough I get Bee Propolis tincture. Dropperful in mouth. Roll around mouth then swallow. Has mycillium. WORKS FOR ME
I had left knee patella fracture 1 1/2 months ago, stepped over broken drain cover(standing height), is it cause by osteoporosis? Very painful midnight. Done TBW operation on 9 Dec 2020. Male, age 67.
Where is the importance of vitamin k2?
Does she mention boron (which is easily obtained from borax)? Many people report curing their osteoporosis by doing little more than taking 1/8 teaspoon of borax every day.
vitamine k is corruption
@@fortcastlevgn2368 why what is your point?
Don't use Fosamax
Why??
@@nanaprn7809- yes, I agree….why? It’s disingenuous at best for someone to come in here and post a blanket statement without qualifying it.
High calcium and Osteoporosis. Parathyroid normal so is Magnesium level. What can I do supplemental Calcium isn’t going to work!
K2, D3, lactoferrin, eucommia bark, DHEA, pregnenolone, boron, manganese, others.....
@@annettegenovesi4012 thank you
Try calcium,d3,mag and K2 m7
I visit a Holistis Medical Doctor, she recommends OSAplex MK-7..
Ginny Putscher -How or where do I find a holistic medical doctor?
@@guillermone1 You don't guill. Go to a nutritionist, or do your own research.
@@annettegenovesi4012 -Why not? I agree with you, but I also believe I should do all of the above and then some. Gotta cover all the bases, you never know what rock the answer may be hidden under.
@@guillermone1 You are right, and we should all remember that we're each individuals and what's good for one is not good for another, so it's best to forge our own individual paths.
A lot of the information in this talk is very outdated. Synthetic hormone replacement therapy is the only form that has been shown to have negative side effects. Women also need testosterone and in fact have higher levels of testosterone than estrogen. This information could be dangerous could you please remove it until you can update it properly.
Good information but the dr just SPEED READ
2 drinks/day for men
1 drink/day for women
after 65 half that.
Wat type of drink?
@@averyt6521 I think we're talking about alcohol. NIH says...
In the United States, one "standard" drink (or one alcoholic drink equivalent) contains roughly , which is found in: 12 ounces of regular beer, which is usually about 5% alcohol. 5 ounces of wine, which is typically about 12% alcohol. 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, which is about 40% alcohol.
Even better is to quit entirely. I gave up alcohol four years ago at age 70 and never looked back. Feel better, look better and don’t have all the deleterious health effects it causes.
SERVINGS Per day not drinks. Big diff vs just drinks. Good studies find any alcohol incr a woman’s risk of cancer. Not sure for men.
What a bunch of bs data lol she says the medication help with bone density hahahahaha
