Very timely video for me, having been scolded by my doctor today about not wanting to take bisphosphonates. I took them for nine years, and after stopping for a "drug holiday" my osteopenia had progressed to osteoporosis two years ago. So for the last two years, I have researched, and worked on my diet, supplementation, and exercise (no thanks to my doctor, who thinks I am non-compliant). I have resolved my leaky gut, hypertension, obesity, and chronic inflammation, all on my own. Do I get any credit for taking my health in my own hands and improving it? No, I get scolded, and told I needed "treatment" when the results of my next dexascan come in. I pray there is some improvement, because this doctor (the 2nd one I have seen for this) asked me if I took calcium and vitamin D, unaware that the research says we need vitamin K2, and should not take calcium supplements. No tests were ordered to see why I am losing bone, no tests of vitamin D or hormone levels, just "you must" take these questionable drugs because of a number on a scan. She appeared to get angry when I asked "what did all women do years ago, as soon as they turned 50, break a hip and die?" Funny we never heard about this before. The doctor said she couldn't answer that, but now there is "treatment" available. I don't mind doing this on my own, but time lost is bone lost, and I need guidance. Too bad we can't count on our doctors for this.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! We applaud your willingness to take your health into your own hands and hope you will join our community to continue to learn ways you can improve your bone health naturally!

@@DrSusanBrown Hello Dr. Susan please reach out to me i need medical attention from someone like you i dont know how to reach you i just saw this video and i need some consultation from but im here in Belgium. I tried to search you in Facebook but im not sure if this is the right thing to be connected with you. I hope you see my comment and get a quick response from you. Thank you Dr. Susan and looking forward from your kind response🙏🩺
Try osteo strong, weight vests, D3K2 prunes..

I have osteoporosis & refuse to take the meds. My doctor told me I was foolish!
I exercise and eat very well, do yoga & Take D3 and K2 and hope for the best. I will not be reckless..probably no more ice skating but I believe the list of “cons” for those drugs is enough that I will take it. I will repeat my bone scan in a few months 👍
I was diagnosed at 50 with osteopenia which is rare for me as a man. Calcium supplements do not work as I had been taking them with multi vitamin for years. I quit drinking, started lifting weights and making bone broth soups and taking collagen supplement with Vitamin D and K2 plus lots of vegetables. Hopefully my next DEXA scan comes back with better outcome a year from now.

Thanks so much, Suzette! From the sounds of it you may be a great candidate for Dr. Brown's upcoming virtual retreat - we'd love to see you there! 😊 bit.ly/3sNNV38
I also was scolded and I learned in that scolding that I knew more about the disease then the doctors! We’ll see if I can turn this around I believe I can.
Well done. We need to remind doctors that they promoted smoking as healthy; therefore, this proves they make serious mistakes.
I have got osteoporosis like my Nan. My bones creak from my head to my toes. But having cured my Asthma with plants, I'm determined to heal my bone health naturally. ♥️
Thank you for sharing your success story! You are an inspiration!
Dr Susan. When is the best time to take Vitamin D3 and K 2. Also do you take Magnesium at the same time. Great video.Many thanks
I’m glad I have a doctor that doesn’t go straight to the medication route.
Thank you.very encouraging.have you written a book about this?

Hi Dr Brown. Just came upon your channel and am impressed with your approach regarding bone loss, specifically in women. However, after reviewing page after page of comments , I was amazed at the absence of remarks about vitamin K2-MK7! I’ve had my wife on K2-MK7 for a number of years now and she has consistently gained 1% bone growth per year, every year. This vitamin helps solve the issue of uncontrolled bone loss and calcium build ups in soft tissue because it seeks out the misplaced calcium and transplants it onto the bones where it belongs. I’m totally amazed at its omission in your protocol. Please research what I’ve said. It can be life changing. Thanks for your time.
Thank you for your kind comments and attention to my work. For decades, I have promoted and written about vitamin K2 as MK7. We even produce a high-quality MK7 product which you can find at alkalineforlife.com. And also on betterbones.com I have written several articles on MK7.
Thank you so much for sharing the story of your successful use of this key bone nutrient.

I wish somebody like yourself or another doctor on YT who talks about osteoporosis would address the issue of steroids like prednisone. It’s not always a choice to stop them esp if you have something like Addison’s. And even if stopping them going off is a choice the tapering can be a very long process. Many women and men are in this position. The best I’ve heard from doctors online is to get off the medication when and as you can. That’s not always an option.
I was jus diagnosed with osteoporosis, and is because I have a transplant since 2006 and I have to use Prednisone for ever for the transplant. I only use 5mg and is terrible, to know that is from this medication. 🙃
I also have prednisone induced osteoporosis. My primary care physician feels that it is likely reversible since it was clearly prednisone induced (I had a dexa scan prior to prednisone and then after). I'm hopeful I can turn this around without toxic drugs
Had a PA pushing bone drugs about 15 years ago. Then moved to 2 states where 1st doc had a dexa done - so I could make my own decision. She actually didn’t support the drugs. 2nd doc didn’t even have a dexa done because she was really against the drugs. Now back in the original state & primary said nothing about results. I’m turning 70 & primary didn’t say anything but she sent me to an arthritis specialist (autoimmune condition only I think I only have some markers). That doctor started fear talking (I’m on the edge of osteoporosis in one femoral neck) & even had her front desk person lecture me! But at least it got me to pay more attention to improving those T scores!

Great video! I recently reversed my osteoporosis diagnosis through diet, exercise, and supplements. I added jumping to my exercise routine based on a study done at Brigham Young Univ. I posted a video about it on 1/7/22. I'm also vegan, which helps a lot. After getting the first "you have to take these meds" from my PCP doctor, I started getting my DEXA scans thru a referral by a chiropractor. That way the PCP doctor doesn't see the results.
What supplements you took? Please share
@@jasmine3086 Vitamin D3, vitamin B12 (I'm vegan), a probiotic, chlorella, zinc, quercetin (a zinc ionophore), and Garden of Life's Grow Bone System.
What kind of jumping exercise.

How do we find your post or comment?
Most doctors have no idea how to treat root cause of disease. Shame on them ..
Can you share what you did to reverse osteoporosis. Especially if someone is around 69 make and has osteoporosis. What diet, exercises and the dos and donts. Will be much appreciated.
Look for an Osteo Strong and go.

I am 52, osteoporosis T-score -3.5. I took one Prolia in 10th September. Now I realise that it's a lifetime commitment, and if I stop it, my bone density will come back to the previous level. Just wanted to know that in the meantime I am eating healthy and doing exercises.
So does it mean that if I stop Prolia that all these exercises and healthy eating would be fruitless? Please suggest me
Hello! This is a great question. For those who are on bone drugs, Dr. Brown typically recommends to still do the 6-step Better Bones Program (two of which involve diet and exercise) to limit bone loss after stopping bone drugs.

@@DrSusanBrown thanks a lot
Hello doctor!
I just found your blog, have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and would like to do your program.
How do I start?
I would check out our free course Library to begin with www.betterbones.com/videos-drsusanbrown/
What if you have to go on anti-hormone drugs for cancer and already have osteoporosis? Will exercise, diet, and supplements be enough?
I can contact to a doctor who helped me out
Amazing video. It is sad doctors act like drug pushers. They need reminding how they let us down with their smoking promotion. As a baby, child and adult I had to inhale secondhand smoke. Doctors, the Media and Governments brainwashed my family into believing smoking was good. I have bone problems from the drugs I had to take for Asthma. Thankfully I cured Asthma with organic plants. So I am determined to do the same with my bone health. ♥️
It’s an easy way out to push drugs rather than take a more osteopathic oriented approach to solve body issues
Please can you tell me what did you yus for asthma
They did the same thing with sugar!!!
How long do you have to do these exercises until you see improvement? Today I received test results and my condition did not improve and even worsened slightly to the point of (-3.5) I am from Israel and the doctors here are shocked that I refuse to take medication. Today I am also debating because, despite the exercise, vitamin D, vitamin K and calcium are still not improving :(
The longer you avoid taking the meds recommended by your physician, the more bone you lose on the regimen you've been following. At this point, you should seriously consider taking the meds. These CZcamsrs won't be the ones to live with you or take care of you after you've broken a bone. They're here to sell you their programs & supplements. You can't get any information from Susan Brown's website without leaving your email address. The only reason for that is because she wants to SELL you something & to PROFIT from your fear.
Hey Dr Susan
Is phasimac ok to take. Im a male and have already had compression fractures. One in my L1 and L4. That was in 2003 but I've been taking Caltrate 1600 mg and 75mg of Androgel Testosterone topical gel. Are their any new treatments out their for me?

You’ve lost me at “no alcohol “. I like my chardonnay (about 3oz) each night. I have osteopenia which one of my drs says he does not treat. The other scolded me for refusing to take prolia. I eat cottage cheese and yogurt for lunch and drink about 12oz of lactose free milk in the course of each day. I eat salads regularly. I am due for a bone density soon 🤞🏻. I just subscribed to your channel to listen to what more you have to say but I wont give up my wine 🍷 cheers. Oh I take 4000 mgs vit D every day. I also walk 2.5-3 mi every day and lift weights 3x a week.
Hi Lea - over time, eating an imbalanced diet of excess animal protein, refined grains, sugar, alcohol, and salt that is low in fruits and vegetables, forces your body to slip into a state of mild acidosis. A small glass of wine a day (red is better) is OK. The Mediterranean diet endorses a glass of wine a day. Just remember, wine has a lot of added sugar as well.
The most important factor in the alkaline diet is balance... The pH of the urine goes up and down according to the foods we eat, exercise, stress, and other variables. Create a diet that works for your lifestyle!
We're glad to see you adopt a lifestyle that fits you!

Dairy actually increases one’s risk. You can find videos here by multiple functional MDs who will tell you this, based on research and observations of large populations.
@@mellocello187Well said. Netherlands are one of the worlds highest consumers of dairy, yet they have one of the highest rate of osteoporosis in the world. That in itself says it all.
Dairy degenerates bones not strengthens them. Bones are made of around 20% calcium, the rest are of various minerals. Prolia and other big pharma bone strengtheners make bones brittle and hollow. Prone to easily break. Best to take D3 and K2 supplements together. Unfortunately there’s too much misinformation out there in marketing and the mainstream medical field.
My first scolding was when I was 58 by a doctor and he got in my face and when I told him I was wanting to study this that he informed me he did not want to be my doctor. I then found Dr Browns book and read it cover to cover. I tried to stick to a regimen of diet and vitamin but life gets in the way. Then I had a dexa scan in 2019 and my new doctor scolded me again when I told him no. I am now 67 and a new doctor I have will not give me another dexa test to see where I am. She spent 20 minutes telling me I need these drugs and that you cannot build bone at my age and it will just keep sluffing off and I will fall and break my hip or worse my back. I really need to be committed now so watching these videos really helps me.
My mother had osteoporosis as did my grandma. My mom took all the drugs and still broke her hip in a fall at 90 years old. She had been told by a doctor in her 80’s that she had thick bones but they were brittle due to them not sluffing off cos of the drugs. My mom had been dedicated he whole life to taking calcium and Vitamin D pills.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear what you have gone through. We hope these videos continue to help you!

Please note: There is a lot of error in how a technician reads a Dexa scan. The margins have to be just right and if they are off, our scores can be either too good or worse than they are.
Yes that is certainly true and we also try to evaluate multiple risk factors, not just the bone density by DEXA. One day the DEXA will be replaced with a technology that can measure bone strength.
My gynecologist wanted me to go on Prolia even after being on 3 osteoporosis drugs and them not working. My gynecologist was upset because I refused Prolia. I no longer go to her.

A nurse practitioner said I had osteoporosis because I broke a bone skiing in 1978. Them without furthermore discussion, gave me a prescription for a biophosphate . People, question everything when it comes to your health. Biophosphates have very serious side effects. I did NOT have osteoporosis based breaking the spinous process off C- 7 when I was 28. Crazy!

What are your thoughts please on low level vibration (vibrating platforms) in addition to what you are discussing here?
I've studied the literature on whole body vibration for a long time. I think the higher amplitude higher vibration platforms are probably more effective for building muscle and bone. All of the platforms seem to help balance. The low level vibration may be helpful in particular for thin women. if you have a low-level device can't doo any harm to use it every day maybe even twice a day.
@@DrSusanBrown thank you for your reply. No, I don’t currently have a platform but I am looking into buying one. There are so many options and I don’t want to spend money on the wrong thing. I can’t invest thousands so the Marodyne is out. I’m looking on Amazon.
@@gail020759 Let me know what you find out. I use the hyper gravity machine from California but it is very high amplitude. If you find some sturdy high amplitude machines please let me know. They usually have about a 2 to 3 mm displacemment and they work at least 30 Hz

Did uou ever go into full osteoporosis
Drugs don't "build" bone, they just slow resorption for a short time. Like any condition you need to treat the cause.
I was diagnosed with very bad osteoporosis
Didn't finish!
I was told I had the bones of a 90 year old!It was later discovered 10 years on medium could have been the cause!Anyway,the way the doctors were talking my bones were so brittle if I sneezed I could break a bone!BS!
So I started researching and doing what I was supposed to with diet & exercise!
That was 2 1/2 years ago! Just recently got another DexaScan told the bone density had increased a little....but this was due to osteoarthritis I was never told I had!
My pcp,two endocrinologists & a rhumatologist are all pushing & trying the threat therapy-you will end up in a wheelchair & die soon after!
Yea!
I don't know if it's reversible but I do know I can do something to improve my bone health without medication!
I have a few health conditions that none of the doctors are addressing so I am po'd at that!
I had said from the when I was young I will not take any medication unless my life depended on it!
I am poor but what I can do to help myself is free!

How much protein should I eat for bone loss in my spine??
How offend should you get a test for bone loss?
Hi Carol! Thank you for listening to Tracey's story. Here is a blog from Dr. Brown about protein for bone health- www.betterbones.com/bone-nutrition/the-benefits-of-protein-for-bone-health/. Generally, we say 60-70 grams a day. As far as testing for bone loss, If you are referring to the Ntx test for bone breakdown, you can test yearly. DEXA Bone Density tests are typically every 2 years.

Vegetables are not a problem for me, and I eat them every day about two cups. especially the non starchy ones. However, too many fruits do not go along with my diabetic tendencies. I can eat some berries, a couple of prunes, the occasional apple, but never 5 servings a day. Also, I am a small eater, and I do not see myself eating this much all day. I am not just saying, the glucometer also thinks is not a good idea. I use acv every day a couple of tbsp to aid. Any other ideas besides fruits. I am on keto to keep me from becoming diabetic. Before you tell me to stop eating too much sugars and carbs, I never actually been addicted to excess sugars. I have been moderate all my adult life because diabetes runs strong in my gene pool. Two of my siblings are diabetics already. I tested pre diabetic two years ago and keto and intermittent fasting with exercise has helped me to reverse it. So it is not an easy decision for me; it is like either you become diabetic or break a bone one of these days. I am a nurse, and I refuse the medications I know how they work and I did enough physiology and biology to understand the bone turn over process. Any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
HI Nora! We do have lots of suggestions to many to type out but we cover many of them in our free natural bone health courses that you can find here: shop.betterbones.com/pages/courses
Can you tell me about the strip you used every morning?
Hello! Our pH test strips are sold on Alkaline For Life's website! Dr. Brown recommends testing the pH of the first morning urine.The first-morning urine pH taken upon rising and before eating is an especially good indicator of magnesium, potassium, and calcium status, the minerals that most highly contribute to the buffing buffering of metabolic acids. Here's a link to purchase!

Is a ph of 8.5 good ?
Hi Karen! While you could get your pH to be higher, 8.5 is a very good start!
@@DrSusanBrown urine ph, not blood.
The lab report said it was high . Anything over 8.
Karen, what do you eat to have such Ph? I am trying to reach at least a pH 7 more towards alkalinity or at least in the middles because my acidity with pH 5 gives me GERD gastroesophageal reflux disease. Besides, acidity and cancer are very good friends! My broccolli helps me a lot but it is not enough.
Dr. Berg is against blood pH to be higher or too low. Raising blood pH like this is totally bad for your body and anyone recommending it is a quack.
Xgeva has caused me to develop osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Now I’m in pain and waiting to see oral surgeon. I’ve found in researching, many of these doctors get a kickback for pushing these expensive (and dangerous) shots😥

I’ve also heard that once you’re on them, they can actually make your bones worse if you come off of them
I have osteoporosis in my back and osteopenia in my hips and thighs. I've always been active and eat a healthy vegan diet. But, I'm now doing weight training (which I hate), JUMPING 20x twice a day (look it up....very effective), and jog on my mini trampoline (astronauts use rebounding to gain bone). I also need to get off coffee and booze, but that won't be as easy. I will focus on more alkaline foods too. I don't eat enough fruits and veggies.

Add standing on a vibration platform 10 minutes a day. My biggest improvement in the 1 year before my nxt bdt
@@karenblack5628 which platform did you use? How significant was your improvement in one year?
@@bigtenfans5831 I used Rock Solid Fitness vibration platform. For only being able to exercise I out of the 2 years between BDT I gave that all the credit. I do not recall the increase but remembered I had just worked up to osteopenia except for one area. I waited to reply b/c I got my results today. It was not as good. The spine is the same but other areas have worsened. My dr. said it's part age. I'm 66 and small boned. I told the dr I think I know how I slacked off. I live in an area where the winters are cold and summers are hot. During the first year of covid lockdown all I could do was walk outside. It would be 80 and I was so hot with the weighted vest on. At that time dr said to buy an elliptical machine b/c I can't walk outside in the winter on snow and ice. I just realized I did not walk outside much this summer b/c of the heat. Dr said walking is better than elliptical. Now that it's getting cold I am determined to walk on inside paths at rec centers and hope to at least be stable and not worse 2 years from now.
I am at a loss. I was diagnosed with osteopenia. I am on Rx's for Barretts Esophagus, with biopsies every two years. They are necessary yet sucking calcium from my bones. All my PCP would tell me is do weight bearing exercises. My patella's are worn so I can do upper body weight bearing exercises but, I think it is hopeless. I am ordering a higher grade bone broth and take vitamins as well as Vit D. I need help and a new PCP.
I would check out our free course Library to begin with we have a course for osteopenia bit.ly/3k6DtyE
For the reflux causing Barretts I highly recommend you look up Dr Jonathan Aviv and read his book the Acid Watcher Diet and watch his CZcams videos.
They give me a bone density scan every year. And they claim its going down. Please help me

Very vague
Am at 32 yrs. Lot of pain... I can't do my daily home duties 🙏am from kerala, india.......
Sounds like you have an autoimmune health issue, eg. rheumatoid arthritis.
The title of your video is Osteoporosis but you are talking about Osteopenia in the video. As you know the latter is not advanced so which are you talking about here or you are saying cure osteoporosis without medication help? I'm just confused as to the 2 items you are discussing
Yes Friday guy I agree with you. The header should be changed from osteoporosis to osteopenia as it’s misleading
Hello! While this specific video does talk about Osteopenia, it is part of a series we have called "Osteoporosis Success Stories." While you are correct that osteopenia is not as advanced as osteoporosis, anything you do to improve your bone health with an osteopenia diagnosis can be done to improve your bone health with an osteoporosis diagnosis. This woman's success story is still valuable for those who have osteoporosis.
@@heatherbrooke506 Hi Heather, thank you for your input on this! While this specific video does talk about Osteopenia, it is part of a series we have called "Osteoporosis Success Stories." Anything you do to improve your bone health with an osteopenia diagnosis can be done to improve your bone health with an osteoporosis diagnosis. This woman's success story is still valuable for those who have osteoporosis.
And that is what I said too. Rather deceiving title for the topic.
I have osteopenia and doctor wants me to start meds before I go into osteoporosis I told her no too many risks
Dr.Brown, Iam taking Olimab injection (prolia) for 2 years now. Iam 63years old (female.) T- score of back bone shows -4.7. Do you think I can stop the injection? Iam taking supplement calcium and vit.D .Actually my dexa scan shows, my bone density is not improving.
Hi Eisen! Based on your question we feel that you would benefit from a consultation with Dr. Brown. You can call us at (315) 437-9384 or use the following link to set up your appointment: bit.ly/2NKJ8MW . Thank you!
If this was a male problem, there would effective treatments for it by now.
I agree although 25% of men get osteoporosis also. I think medicine is so specialized that no one wants to research osteo. It seems that D.C. have the most information.
I don’t agree. There’s no reason to think that. It’s just.Clasdic drug remedies
But is does affect men just in lesser numbers. It is simply that the medical/pharma businesses do not make money from recommending appropriate supplements and exercise programs. NHS in U.K. have a single response protocol of issuing bisphosphonates without further investigation as to potential cause or most beneficial drug. In fact they only offer a Dexa test in consequence of a broken bone or if over age 70. They have no interest in health care only in prescribing pharmaceuticals.
No, but we worked on the erection!😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'm 51 male and have osteoporosis.
No one should be going on any bisphosphonates They are only at osteopenia level. I researched it, and osteopenia was actually named by a pharmaceutical company because they thought if they could tell everybody they are at that level, they would get millions more money by getting people started early. Osteopenia only means pre-osteoporotic. It isn't until you are at the level of -2.1 that you should even consider taking any of those medicines. If you are only at osteopenia, you are extremely lucky and you shouldn't worry, just get started on the correct diet and exercise to prevent it from it getting worse.
Thanks!

You are not the only one got scolded by doctors to tears for not taking their advice on medication. Many doctors are getting out of control with their ego. I wonder if they have the Dr. House syndrome.
She didn't have osteoporosis, she had osteopenia.
Big difference
Was a bit misleading
Fantastic story, doctors JUST don't want to help just a prescription. Are you a a full plantbased diet. Just don't say anything about FASO MAX Good luck 😊
Be glad you didn't take the meds I took fosamax in 2016 femur fractured at the ball surgeon told my husband it wS due to fosamax said bones look like s wiss cheese femur refractured in 2018 I had 2 yrs of forteo to build back up and 2 yrs prolia

What amount of weight do you use in the vest
This is misleading video, osteopenia is not osteoporosis, the Dexta criteria numbers are significantly different. Not the same.

This is not only a women problem. Men have it too.
This is correct! Dr. Brown works with both women and men to help address bone density though you see a higher percentage of women and often women are instilled with fear when addressing their low bondenity through many medical doctors. Not all of them though take that perspective. We believe that knowledge is power and we believe in hope instead of fear and trying to get to the bottom of the cause.
