Resolving Osteoporosis and Optimizing Bone Health - A Tour de Force Update

Did you know that "bone-eating" osteoclast cells are derived from immune cell precursors and are stimulated by inflammation, just like other immune cells? Or that bone has its own glycocalyx whose health is essential to realize the benefits of exercise for bone? Folks, Dr. Keith McCormick is back on New Frontiers with ever-more juicy pearls like these, and with important updates on bone care for functional medicine practitioners and patients alike. Dr. McCormick is living proof that osteoporosis and a history of multiple bone fractures - he had 12 between the ages of 45-50 - are not an irrecoverable life (or death) sentence. In fact, even as he nears 70, Dr. McCormick is out there competing in Ironman and pentathlon events, living his life to the fullest.
Dr. McCormick is arguably the top thinker and practitioner on bone health from a systems and functional point of view. His nuanced navigation of diagnostic tools as well as both pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical interventions is fully comprehensive and deep. You'll want to tune in to find out how he navigates his patient cases, casting a wide net for underlying contributing factors, his go-to interventions for specific situations, how he doses supplements, and more.

Great show. I’ve learned so much!!

Thank you! Going to buy his book. Always conflicting information on protein, which is unfortunate. I follow the protein guidelines from Dr Layman.

I did not understand what he said that needs to be 300 to 350

Lots of comparative information. Shame about the microphone quality. It seems to me that every doctor has to choose the best medicine from a very bad lot and women suffer from those choices due to nasty side effects.

This man’s voice is too soft and weak. I literally cannot hear the words
